Capricorn Moon

I found out recently that according to my astrology chart, my sun sign, as we ALL should be very aware of right now (wink, wink, nudge, nudge), is in Aquarius, but my moon sign is in Capricorn. While the Sun Signs rule conscious behavior the Moon Signs rule the unconscious, hidden emotions and human desire. The Moon is also thought to rule instinct, the familiar, and where our deepest needs lie.
Well, never have I had it explained to me, and there it is.
It seems to explain some aspects about myself (keyword: seems):
11-10 Aquarius/Capricorn
"The combination of your Sun sign and your Moon sign produces a positive and authoritative personality; a very solid and practical individual with individualistic qualities. The Aquarius side of this nature brings originality and independence, but this is tempered by the conservatism, deep ambition and caution of Capricorn. Your calm persistence, deep determination and talent for cold calculation or prudent thinking assure sound judgment and realistic evaluation of conditions or situations. You know your course in life and you are not one to be diverted by emotional factors. Restless at times, you need to keep busy in your profession, business or public life. You have a powerful sense of responsibility and deep seriousness to your nature. Business responsibilities may be heavy. You have great inner sources that enhance your personality. This is a combination that shows the talent to cope with large enterprises and for handling large numbers of people. You have strong, deeply rooted convictions and ideals, and you conduct your business with a strict code of ethics. You are a natural executive with humanitarian leanings, as you combine friendliness and fair play with your strict business principles. You strive more for power and authority than for wealth and material success."

As to that last sentence... after all, I am a Reverend. I don't have the cautious part of Capricorn down, that is for shit sure. Lord, how I try. I was discussing relationships with one of my exes the other day, and he chided me: "Mad Hatter, you are always ready to jump right in." "I know," says I, "and I think that is one of those things I'm always going to have to deal with. I even tried to be more consciously cautious this time around and it still didn't work." I am a steam roller. Patience is always a struggle in my life. I get my sights set on anything and my determination comes in and takes over the whole operation. My determination when it comes to making things happen could knock over a mountain. Wish I could have some of that cold calculation, but only seems to occur when I am making leadership decisions.
It is strange paradigm but I take my sense of humor very seriously. I think I am very blessed that I can make people laugh {"Laughter is the sound of the soul waking up." -Hafiz}, and with very little true effort on my part. I think it is due to the fact that I studied laughter like a science. It is an art, which for me it is created mostly out of listening. Maybe I shouldn't have let you in on one of my secrets but there it is.

A countdown full of inner reflection...it's appropriate: 9.
