Capricorn Sun, Capricorn Moon in brief
Your Capricorn Sun: you play the long game and build something real while others chase quick wins.
Your Capricorn Moon: you self-soothe by staying in control, but you're allowed to be held too.
Sun and Moon are both earth: purpose and comfort agree on practical, steady things, and the risk is holding on to a routine after it has stopped serving you.
Both lights are cardinal, so you start things quickly and feel restless when nothing new is under way.

How this was counted
The Sun and Moon were charted at 12:00 UTC every day from 1 January 1950 to 31 December 2025. Between neighbouring days, each move into a new sign was placed on the straight line between the two positions, accurate to a few minutes for the Moon, and every hour of every Capricorn season was then counted by the sign the Moon was in. Seasons at the edges of the window count only for the part inside it.
