“I’ll feel my feelings after I get the job done; for now, I’ve got to say grounded.”

 

Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are the signs that represent the Earth element in Astrology.

 

With their Earthy style, they tend to temper their sentiments better than most. Of course, these signs still experience moods and feelings; however, they can stave off or rationalize when a flood of emotions wash over them.

 

Hence, having your natal Moon in Earth signs can give you the ability to become grounded faster than others. 

 

The Moon's astrological influences on Earth signs allow people to experience their inner world practically and with stability. Because of this, these individuals can thrive through pragmatism, rationality, conventionality, and the knowledge that their personal lives are set up reliably.

 

Attributes such as these help them make deliberate decisions that ensure comfort for these combinations.

 

Taurus, Virgo, And Capricorn Paired With The Astrological Influences of The Moon

 

Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are part of the Earth element, giving me a resourceful methodology to life.

 

So, a person whose Moon has this combination tends to be more practical and concerned with having a stable life.

 

Energetically, those with Earth Moons are hardwired to seek success regarding material things. These individuals don’t like wasting their time, so if something is unrealistic, they’ll leave it alone. Because of this, when they channel their lunar vibes appropriately, it leads to tangible results.

 

Their organization brings them a sense of comfort. Because of their more calculated nature, they must be aware of coming off too cold and strategic. There might also be difficulties expressing their emotions.

  • Quality: Fixed Earth

  • Reacts: Defensively when security is threatened and steadily, sometimes stubbornly.

  • Instinct: To get moving when they need stability to feel safe.

  • Keywords: Consistent, persistent, Materialistic, sensual, pleasure, conventional, stable emotions, practical, overindulgent, possessive

With a Natal Taurus Moon, emotions are pretty sturdy. Having this placement allows you to be practical, stoic, composed, reliable, sensual, possess an eye for beauty, align easily with nature, and have a solid ability to wear storms most people could never.

 

In addition, the Moon paired with Taurus is in one of the best placements called exaltation.

 

Unless there are factors in the natal chart, having a Moon in this essential dignity means it is an excellent combination. Cancer rules the Moon, a sign that goes through phases, so its being in a steady energy like Taurus brings balance. This combination allows the celestial body to express its agenda fully but consistently and less emotionally. 

 

The inner world is sound, allowing people to process emotions more realistically through the five senses and the subconscious. In other words, you can connect with your instinctive nature in a nonturbulent way. 

 

A calmness within this placement allows them to be more attuned to the natural world than most. So, concerning how they intuitively react or handle under-the-radar emotions, it’s in a composed manner compared to other natal moons.

 

What brings harmony to this side of you is when you're experiencing things that help you on a sensory level. Because of this placement, you're able to connect to the body more than most. You like things to move slowly so that you can take time to enjoy life’s pleasures.

 

An arrangement like this in the natal chart strongly needs security and routine, so consistency brings them emotional fulfillment.

 

Most people want dependability; however, for a Taurus Moon, this is vital. The thing that throws this sturdy placement off is instability, so to feel tranquil, all situations need to be reliable. It’s crucial for you to have stable relationships, financial stability, and a home that’s relaxing. 

 

Another thing that keeps them sturdy is a high sense of values, so they can walk away if something goes against their standards. Therefore, keeping your dignity intact is another way you feel emotionally sound. Also, it’s essential for you to gain emotional satisfaction through pleasurable things like food, luxurious items, and intimacy, 

 

Regarding habits, they are reliable people for themselves and others. Since they're a Fixed Earth Sign, they tend to be consistent and persistent, allowing others to count on them. Because this Moon Sign enjoys sensory things, you could be a foodie or wine lover, enjoy a good massage, or use the best body oils and lotions on your skin.

 

Under this influence, these individuals can’t be pushed into doing things, which is sometimes a good thing, primarily If others are disrupting their comfort. However, this can easily turn into being inflexible in a way that hinders them.

 

A Natal Moon in Taurus can run into some pitfalls regarding always being reliable. They must be aware that being too dependable leads to taking advantage of. The need for consistency can also become stagnant and stubborn, resulting in the inability to make necessary changes. With this, the Moon's need for sensory things could lead to overindulgence, spending too much, and sex addiction.

 

Natal Moon In Virgo

  • Reacts: Inquisitively, Logically, and sharply reflects

  • Instinct: To analyze their emotions

  • Keywords: Rational, pragmatic, analytical, organized, emotionally in control, stress-related anxiety, talented, creative, debates hell out of people, critical.

  • Famous people: Gordon Ramsay, Serena Williams, Madonna, Natalie Portman, Nikki Minaj, and James Franco.

 

People born with a Virgo Moon tend to be rational, able to find joy in the little things, need to be and feel useful, have great intuition about others, and can tap into their skills more than most.

 

In terms of sentiments, however, this placement isn't as emotionally charged for the Moon.

 

With this Moon, the inner world is deep and constantly looking for ways to level up. Your instinctive nature allows you to react in a way that solves problems because you are hardwired to fix unrefined things. On a subconscious level, you logically act.

 

Because of this cerebral nature, there could be moments when emotions could fire off in a way that seems less feelings-based and headier. Also, feelings tend to feel unnatural sometimes, so they could be inclined to improve their state if something seems emotionally irrational.

 

Emotional fulfillment is experienced by making the most of your life. Unlike others, you don’t fiddle with time, so being helpful and not resting on your laurels is vital. You like to be efficient and hate wasted effort, which causes you to need a routine to be tranquil.

 

With this drive, they also feel sounder and more invigorated when helping through acts of service for others and vice versa. 

 

Another way you gain satisfaction is through self-improvement, so looking for ways to level up or develop skills helps with feeling grounded. Having intellectual stimulation is a way to bring peace to a natal Virgo Moon. A pairing like this can go to deep depths, look for specific topics it can sink its teeth into, and solve mysteries of the mind, 

 

Because they're naturally regimented, habits can be ceremonial in nature. In other words, you could systematically approach your day-to-day activities ritualistically. 

 

Since you're analytical, you could find yourself constantly constructing and deconstructing situations in day-to-day life to see what works and things that don’t fit. Being a Mutable Earth Moon allows you to stay the course and make shifts easily if something needs to be tweaked to get back on track.

 

However, because a Virgo Moon isn't very connected to its emotions, it can come off as cold and calculated. As a result, some emotional reactions could come brutally honest and with a lack of empathy.

 

Due to the need to be rational, there could be a tug-of-war with emoting because of the need to understand why things feel the way they do rather than feeling feelings. This could lead to disturbances in health because you’re constantly stifling your emotions. There needs to be a balance between trying to improve everything and everyone and becoming a perfectionist who is never satisfied.

 

Also, be aware of the need to be smarter than everyone else.

Instinct Self-preservation

Famous people include Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Ryan Gosling, David Beckham, Kourtney Kardashian, Cher, Zooey Deschanel, Kate Hudson, Sara Jessica Parker, and Tim Burton.

 

A natal moon in Capricorn gives a person the fortitude to set emotions aside to get things done. Capricorn Moons develop discipline, go-getters, strategic, accountable, and trustworthy with this placement. They also provide security for those they feel responsible for and themselves.

 

With this Moon placement, there is a sense of duty and a need for outward security, which leaves little room for vulnerability.

 

In essential dignities, the Moon in Capricorn is a detriment because it is the ruler of Cancer, the polar opposite of this sign. Cancerian energy is all about being in touch with one's emotions and looking for inner security, which is why the Moon might run into complexities when placed in Capricorn.

 

Does this mean it’s a lousy placement?!

 

Absolutely not!! Having this Moon placement gives individuals a considerable advantage; it just bumps into issues occasionally.

 

The inner world of a Capricorn Moon is hardwired to take on any challenge that comes its way. Having this placement helps a person react responsively and be ready to do what's necessary to get things done. So, subconsciously, they can pull out stops when faced with a challenging situation because you can set aside feelings and work through complications better than most.

 

A Moon like this instinct is to leave a mark on the world. 

 

Achievement gives this Moon emotional safety. Therefore, ensuring anything you are doing will lead to long-term security and success will help you feel emotionally regulated. A Natal Moon in Capricorn needs to feel purposeful and know whatever you do will be meaningful.

 

When these individuals look good and feel excellent, this is because Capricorn is about outward appearances. Therefore, being polished allows them to feel emotionally grounded. It doesn't have to be designer clothes or an expensive haircut, but being put together helps them feel balanced.

 

A natal Capricorn Moon does things in such a hardcore manner that they also need humor in their lives. Therefore, one of the things that help their cups runneth over is looking for the hilarity in life. With a sobering nature, they tend to lean into the more sarcastic, deadpan, or dark but witty style of joking.

 

Because this Moon needs to feel in control of everything, it tends to be disciplined with its habits. They have the vibes of an influencer or public figure; even if they don’t intend to be that way, these individuals leave a lasting impression on the outside world. Being a Cardinal Earth sign, Capricorn Moon’s are motivated self-starters who take actions that lead to laying down a solid foundation for their lives.

 

However, when your inner world is out of balance, you can become dependent on work to avoid your emotions. Fears can arise if you’re not gaining momentum in areas of life that involve achievement. There might be moments where you minimize the feelings of others and your own moods. And there is a tendency to be nervous about committing to the wrong things and people to the point where it stifles you.
