Capricorn Sun, Leo Moon

☉ Your Sun in Capricorn

You build yourself the way you'd build anything worth keeping - from the foundation up, slowly, with an eye on the summit. Identity here is earned, not given; you trust what cost you something. Pride lives in competence and in the long game, the structure that still stands after the applause moves on. There's a dry wit under the seriousness, a granite humor that only friends get to see. You aged into gravity early and tend to lighten with the years - the mountain gets easier the higher you climb. Your becoming is a masonry job: one true stone set on another, patient, until the thing bears weight.

☽ Your Moon in Leo

What you need, under everything, is to be seen, not flattered but genuinely seen, and to feel that your warmth lands somewhere it's wanted. A Leo Moon runs on appreciation the way a fire runs on air; withhold it and something in you dims. You love generously, theatrically, with your whole chest, and you're wounded most by indifference, far more than by anger. Comfort comes through being adored a little and getting to adore back. Pride guards a tender core here, so you'd rather perform fine than admit you're hurt. But give you an audience of one who truly looks, and you glow like a lamp left on for someone coming home.
