#compatibility asks

As for Capricorn Moon, I think they’re quite expressive (especially with their stronger thoughts/straight up no’s) - I do think they can sometimes struggle within themselves and others/their own judgement on their abilities/efforts, but as an earth cardinal, they do what needs to be done - even when they’re scared, they can claw off their own scab to express certain things if that’s what they need to do (in their own mind, the conviction is certain and unshakable). 

This might ease you a bit, but I do know a couple Capricorn Moon who aren’t cold or hide their emotions. Although it’s just about experience - I thought it might be an interesting case to see how it works in person - how the archetype translates to the dimensionality of a human in this day and age (societal expectations). 

To preface; the ones I’m close to have strong Leo Suns, and they’re quite expressive of themselves, their thoughts and in terms of self-improvement. 

They know what they want, what’s not right for others to be treated or for themselves to be treated that way (sometimes, the ‘for themselves to be treated that way’ comes with experience. But this is very Saturnian Moon of them, and it’s something I feel fond about towards them and their reaction/expressions sometimes.) 

They’re quite opinionated, and if you were worried about expressing feelings - I think they’ve been expressing their feelings quite well? Although I note they do it when asked or when they want to. 

Just like most people, feeling comfortable with what you’re expressing is important. We don’t want to say things we regret, or isn’t certain of because we want to give recipient our 100% trustworthiness of our emotions, affections, values and confidence. So I understand that the Capricorn Moons around me - in real life - they say things when they have weighted it on their best judgement. 

When they do things, or say things, they mean it. Or I’d hope they mean it, because the things they indulge in for others doesn’t come easy, or translate as openly/freely as other signs or placement might. This means (to me) that they’re very sincere, and very genuine in how they come across. 

The intention has to be right, and that’s what they try to get right most of the time. When they aren’t expressing things - it’s because it’s in the process of refinement. Thoughts, feelings, perspectives - these things can developed, and will take time. If you’re careless and callous with things, but then turns around and change it later (180′ or having ulterior motives) - it can say something about your entire character, and is also how you’d judge others as well.

So.. uh.. we went off topic but Capricorn Moons and hiding their emotions!! I mean, just give them time. If you’re a cap moon yourself, I think you know this. But also initiative, sometimes asking, indulging and sharing your emotions with them and ‘training’ them to give back - is exactly what could be helpful. If no one’s there to guide them, then it’s hard sometimes to know cues on when/how to do something right, if you’ve never been taught/experienced that before?

I guess it comes down to experience, gaining more and more practice in doing so, and seeing the immediate gratification/pleasure and happiness on other’s face (engagement and positive reaffirmation) helps with being OK with engaging and knowing it’s a safe space/good path to be on (more comfortable with it).

Two Capricorn Moons together might not have the same experience/practise in the same things, the same ways. But they can teach each other, and they also have to be taught by those around them (outside of just them together) as well - once again, to get out of things and be healthier in doing it.  

Hope you don’t mind if I pull this into a Sun-Chiron aspect in general as well, we’ll definitely touch on Sun-square-Chiron, but I think some of the key points applies to most of the other Sun-Chiron aspects too (conjunct, sextile, trine, opposition, etc)

To cut straight into it, I actually like Chiron aspects in synastry. 

Mostly because it’s like, a wake up slap for us to get into gear and work towards our better purposes.

By ourselves, most of us might be prone to overanalyzing, not working on something we should’ve been gotten to. 

Getting distracted by other things and never wanting to tend to our wounds. Which usually– in natal aspect it just makes us take so long to finally deal with our wounds/problems.  

Chiron-Sun aspect is like a direct slap to our heart, a straight forward smack on why we’re being idiots. It’s not like Saturn-Sun or MC-Sun where slight power-play is noticeable, Chiron-Sun is more you’re running a marathon and a good friend runs up next to you to encourage you to run with them (instead of like, a coach or an authority figure)  

Sure, your lungs are burning and you feel like your limbs are disconnected from your body but you keep going anyways because of that friend. If it was a coach/authority figure telling you to keep going, you’d just done it because they were telling you to (get it?)

Anyways, Chiron-Sun aspect is like that Sweet Burn to your ego that may make you sizzle and feel vulnerable, but the objective of Chiron is always to heal. 

So the end goal of Chiron is to always overcome that personal challenge, to always revive like a phoenix and blast your way out of your own insecurities and limitations.

The Sun person, signifying the ego/self/core of the person -- when aspected to the Chiron will feel like their foundation is shaken up by them (occasionally). Chiron shines a light on the most vulnerable part of the Sun person, making them re-evaluate themselves, their bad habits, their ego -- in order to self-improve or better themselves.

The Sun has a lot of vitality to them, that’s like-- the core of the person. If you’re able to glean the lessons that Chiron brings (come to terms with it) -- the ability to heal, help others, teach and urge others to better themselves through their pain will be tremendous.

But it’s also a sensitive point, remember that the Sun does signify the core foundation of the person. If the person is unable to see past their hurt, their insecurities or doubts the Chiron’s influence on them --they may get their ego bruised, brush the Chiron away through unhealthy behaviours, run the opposite way and try to hurt the Chiron person through hurting themselves as well. 

The Chiron person, is the one exposing their most vulnerable parts to the Sun person here. If it’s conjunct, the Chiron person will have to face their insecurities (feeling of inadequacy) and overcome them in order to step in line with the Sun person. 

If it’s trine, the Chiron and Sun person may have an easier time gaining help from each other-- emotionally and spiritually, they both grow. And thus they use that regenerative power to help others as well.

Sextiles between Chiron and Sun encourages a lot more interactions between these two placements. One might act like the teacher, while the other gains valuable insight from them. 

Oppositions of Chiron and Sun shows them how to work with each other. Their subconscious becomes more conscious, brought to light. Habits or quirks they might not have noticed otherwise are questioned, and if they’re receptive/somewhat aware that they have their flaws-- they will gain a lot from this teamwork dynamic they have.

Squares between Chiron and Suns are similar to the Sextiles aspect, but instead of allowing each other to get away with things-- there’s a question at the end of ‘so what are you going to do about it?’ -- leaves either side to question whether they’ll take actions to change, or remain stuck in their own problem.

The dynamic is like a teamwork/partnership dynamic, it’s both personal/intimate and emotional, as well as externally driven to see each other succeed in life. 

They encourage each other, there may be some honest truth that hurts, sometimes things that are done without regards to each other’s feelings/the others aren’t prepared for --- but ultimately, if both partners can work together to see past their own limitations/scope they can earn a lot from each other as well.

I like to think of it as like, Moon/Dark Moon Lilith influence as well. It dregs up the subconscious and put it into question, it allows room for vulnerabilities, intimacy, honesty with each other.

It’s both supportive and independent of each other. Ultimately, the lesson Chiron brings is that others can’t heal you, you have to heal yourself first.

Chiron-Sun teaches you how to navigate flexibly, instead of linearly you have to evaluate the different sides of you in order to put it to work. 

The desire to be there for each other through thick and thin is strong, but both partners have to learn how to stand up on their own in order to step in line with the lesson it brings. 

🌙ASCENDANT/DSC - NN/SN

So there’s a couple of different aspects right? Most commonly people like to look at conjuncts/oppositions, but squares and sextiles can be important too. 

I’m going to explain it all in strides, so bear with me if it’s a bit long ok askdnff

ASC conjunct NN/SN (opposite DSC)  – mostly affects the SN/NN person where they feel comfortable around the ASC person. Since it’s the opposite to their DSC, the Angle person might feel more like they have a lot in common with the NN/SN and thus– their differences can be stark/harder to resolve as well (tries to assimilate NN/SN to themselves)

There’s a natural chemistry, a gravity towards each other. Imagine like, finding someone who just ‘clicks’ with you the right way, it makes one protective of the person but also doesn’t really understand them completely (because y know, NN/SN is the nodal axis, so it’s going to bring movement, while the Angles stay stagnant).  

The closer the orb is, the more ‘personal identification’ they will have with the person.  I’m thinking of SN specifically, which too much of this can be toxic *but not usually if it’s done well.  

For the NN person, the ASC provides a sense of ‘relief’ – like a ‘release’ from their usual routine/person and a ‘flowing’ of energy through being around them, being in their presence. The NN opposite to the DSC sees their inner-self, their inner reflection. One thing that could come from this is that the NN shines a ‘light’ on the DSC so the ASC will have to confront (’I am me and I have to love who I am’) as well. 

The ASC person gains ‘direction’ from the Nodal Axis, remember that Nodal Axis are Lunar Nodes. So it’s like a sandwich, layering the ASC either as a top bun or a bottom bun.

The ASC is the meat, make sure that if it’s the bottom bun it doesn’t get soggy. And if it’s the top bun, that it the meat doesn’t fall out/feel unsupported too much.

ASC square NN/SN (also* square DSC)- love this, kind of challenging. Bantering quality to it. It’s a teasing kind of dynamic, where you play ‘run catch’ with each other. Make sure not to do it too much though, since it can lead to complications later/no where productive if each side doesn’t know how to ‘touch’ each other once in a while (make contact/emphasize/understand each other and support them)

Unlike the earlier Conjunct/Opposition, this square is mutual to both ASC/DSC so there’s no danger of ‘identifying too much with one side over the other’ here– the NN/SN is an autonomous person, independent– which is why they bring motion to them (and a certain respect from the Angles person)

NN/SN is the one that ‘runs’. Its kind of like tag? They tag the ASC and then they flounder away. ‘catch me!’ and the only clue you get is their giggle/laugh coming from a direction. To the NN/SN person, the ASC is the ‘challenge’– watch that they don’t want to ‘change’ or ‘drag’ them too much (NN/SN to ASC) if they learn how to understand/emphasize/touch the ASC person– they can support this relationship better as well.

The Angle person is the one who gains a lot from this relationship, often time because it’s square– they’re usually up for the challenge (if their other placements indicate that as well). They see the opportunity, the goal in mind and they go for it. They don’t mind the hardship as long as they can progress/become better. Because see, the end goal for them is to reach the MC (so self-development/improvement is always appreciated)

ASC opposition NN/SN  (conjunct. DSC) - this is more of a ‘touch but doesn’t know how to let go’ situation. Where they’re on a push/pull tug of war, on one hand that means the NN/SN would be conjunct to the DSC and that would mean the ASC is constantly desiring/looking to the NN/SN to be the ‘ideal’ kind of person for them (whether it’s platonic/romantic/etc.) 

There’s a desire to be there, get there. Climb over the rope and just reach out to touch them from the Angle person. The NN/SN is both there and not there at the same time. They are reflective of the parts the Angle person is missing/wants to have in their person, but at the same time they have to discover that inside of themselves.

The SN/NN person feels the same about the Angle person, this is probably the most?? Equalized relationship where they both reflect ‘desire’ in each other. Because the NN/SN is conjunct to the DSC, there’s a sense of ‘knowing’ someone or the Angle person letting them know ‘they hit the nail on the spot’.

Because the NN/SN is in opposition of the ASC, they may admire the ASC/want to be there. It could also indicate polarizing relationship, where one partner wants the other but the emotion/desire isn’t receptive on the other’s end.

ASC/DSC- sextile- NN/SN - whether it swings by the ASC or the DSC, with sextile and trine in particular the degrees (more exact it is) is important. ASC sextile NN/SN brings an element of support, not necessarily romantic or sexual or desirable but it’s good for building a relationship. DSC sextile NN/SN may tend to be more private, more emotional support than ASC but it’s still a good building block as well. The NN/SN person doesn’t do much but encourage the ASC/DSC person, perhaps if you feel like there’s a strong attraction to them– it might be something else in the chart/asteroids? 

ASC/DSC - trine - NN/SN - pretty good to be honest? Nothing much to say because this is a naturalized reaction. Like there’s not a lot of options to choose from in the 12 zodiacs, so you’ll most likely going to have this with someone you already know already as well. 

🌙 IC/MC - NN/SN

Next we get to the IC/MC aspects to NN/SN, again like the ASC/DSC we can group some of them together as well.

IC Conjunct NN/SN (opposition MC) - because the nodes are lunar nodes, the SN/IC conjunct is particularly powerful. It’ll be hard to deny the attraction (not necessarily romantic, sometimes it can be just ‘do I know you’ because of the ‘familial’ bond– especially with the SN), the comfortability and understanding between them. Both the IC person and the SN person will be magnetized towards each other because they’re comfortable with each other. 

On the other hand, if it’s the NN conjunct to IC– it’s a release of past experience, of the roots of experiences. NN brings clarity and regeneration to the IC, like a good spring cleaning. It’s a miracle to have the NN in their life although if badly aspected (with other placements) it might cause problems/uncomfortable being in the ‘bottom of the sky’. 

Meanwhile, NN-opposition MC will question and frustrate the MC. Mostly because the direction they lead are different. The Angle person feels like their insides may be cleaned out but after that, they get an overbearing Mum instead. The NN person may tend to nag, question them or directly oppose/try to present something that the MC may feel ‘hinder’ them instead. The directions are different, but they’ll work through it because of the conjunction anyways.

On the other hand, if the SN is in opposition to the MC– the MC will take on the protective role, kind of like ‘this is my roots/representation of my past and I will guide them’ somewhat. They become Baby. Or someone who they can learn from. The MC person ‘revisits’ themselves and their vulnerabilities every time they meet the SN person, the SN teaches them how things could’ve gone differently, how they could better themselves without being too intrusive. 

For the Nodal Person, the MC represents someone to teach, someone to learn and guidance to them. Nagging, bantering are often, but it’s mostly done in a familial sort of way. 

IC/MC square NN/SN - the Angles being square to the Nodal axis might mean it’s pretty close to the ASC/DSC as well, this is pretty important because there’s a – four way dynamic going on here. 

First of all, If the NN/SN are squares to the IC/MC then the person would represent more of autonomous figure– like someone else’s ASC/DSC added to their own chart. It both ‘completes’ the wheel, so there’s a natural self-identity to the figure. 

At the same time, these Nodal People brings a lot more configuration/self-evaluation to them as well. Because it would be conjunct/opposition to their ASC/DSC so the Nodal Person Knows Who They Are Externally, but Internally/how they work– they’ll point out things that will benefit the Angle person without inserting/intruding them too much into it.

It’s both personal AND impersonal, unlike the ASC/DSC square where things FEELS personal/like an ‘attack’ to their person (on the horizon, that’s where we lie most consciously) the IC and MC are harder to reach because it shows ‘potential/past-future’. So in a way,  the NN/SN person shows us cryptic ways to improve ourselves internally (IC) and exploit it in our future possibilities as well (MC)

The Square aspect of it has more do to with missing emotionality, as in– it can feel a bit impersonal/vague in a way. Because it’s probably aspecting ASC/DSC too– the emotions are wrapped up in those aspects and the IC/MC are more like undercurrents that’s happening/supporting all the thing that goes on there. 

Imagine like, Yoda or a Guide Character who helps you by giving you clues on what to do. That’s what it feels like for the IC/MC person.

As for the NN/SN person– again, they’re probably wrapped up in the drama ASC/DSC has for them. But underneath that, the ‘core’ of the problem stems from the squares to the IC/MC. Once they realize that it’s because they represent ALL FOUR Angles to them, the past, present future. They become sort of transcendental. They exists neither here nor there. They’re representative of what they could be, as well as what they have been. The Angles person is the one who has to make up their mind about what the problem is/where it stems from, so that the NN/SN person can point out the way to resolve it truthfully/honestly. 

IC opposition NN/SN (conjunct MC) -  on the other end of the spectrum, here we have the ASC/DSC square to NN/SN while its in opposition to the IC. So here with the IC opposition to NN/SN – the NN/SN person may shine a light/expose the IC of the person to ‘future possibilities’ or movement. Whether or not they take it is up to them, but unlike IC conjunct NN (opposition MC) the NN/SN person won’t try to reprimand/nag the IC/MC person. 

NN conjunct to MC is actually really good, not only is it directional/movement is supported– it’s also aligned to each other. This way there’s less bickering, more teamwork. A lot of partnership/supportive energy towards an ‘end goal’ together– usually with more objectivity to them.

SN conjunct to MC shines more light on the IC, in this case it’s showing the IC ways to heal, like emotional balance/nurture and guidance, it’s the Moon that shines over the lake at night. 

IC opposition to the NN/SN is mostly comfortable, the only thing about it is that it can be overlooked under everything, the NN/SN person may pull them away from their ‘roots’ whatever that may be, habits are hard to break, and if the IC struggles it can be irreparable.

IC/MC sextile NN/SN - Again, this is pretty good? In a subtle way, this is usually underrated. The NN/SN person doesn’t really serve much of a purpose here for the MC/IC– but they are good supplements for them to feel ‘realigned’ with themselves if they ever need it. It’s like if you feel ‘burnt out’ or ‘stranded’ or ‘frazzled’ – the NN/SN person are good at instinctively knowing what to do to help, or learn quickly how to do so.

IC/MC trine  NN/SN -  again, like the ASC/DSC earlier, it’s pretty good! I mean with this, it’s more about feeling comfortable/supported with each other. Like someone’s finally in your court. Sneaky side-glances, eye contact level communication. Usually non-verbal communication is common between them. Fondness and foundation of trust/support helps build this relationship as well. 

This turned out pretty lengthy, but I hope it makes sense! 💕 To summarize, ASC/DSC is more like the ‘present’ self, most of our emotional response and immediate actions are related towards it. IC/MC are like our objectivity, our ‘past-future’. The effect that the Nodal Axis has on it is usually focused on conjunct to each angles, since that can exemplify ‘what’ type of relationship we have with each other. Each pole of the Nodal Axis is (like the name) an Axis itself. So It’s like overlaying Axis together.
