Napoleon was born Aug. 15, 1769, with the Sun in Leo and the Moon in Capricorn, a perfect combination for a ruler, leader and emperor but beyond audacity, strength and courage this combo carried the warning, be humble lest you be humiliated.

The Moon in Capricorn traditionally has received a bad rap, it’s a matter of contradictions: Capricorn, the father, is organized, structured, businesslike, responsible and powerful while the Moon, which rules Cancer, Capricorn’s polar opposite, represents the fluid, lovely, sensitive, emotionally attuned nature of the mother.

To have the Moon in Capricorn means to be inclined to take over, to run the show, to tell others what to do which means to run up with others’ issues with their parents and other authority figures, ugh! Moon in Capricorn people are accused of being out of touch with their feelings and if they have submitted to a more servile position in life, they become chronic complainers, they feel impotent, they’re unhappy and they let everyone know!

But the Moon in Capricorn shows up in the charts of powerful leaders, people we admire who move the world and make a difference: think Lucille Ball, the star and co-producer of “I love Lucy,” (Sun in Leo, Moon in Capricorn) who made us laugh and cry tears of joy with her silly antics onstage but who off stage masterfully ran a television empire with a no nonsense approach that worked!

Key to happiness when the Moon is in Capricorn is the integration of a compassionately sensitive and a powerful nature: it can be done! Capricorn is ruled by the knees; to master the Moon in Capricorn today, be daring, be dynamic but above all, be humble.
