Okay, so let’s talk about this whole Capricorn Sun, Libra Moon thing. I’ve been digging into it, and it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster, to be honest.
First off, I started by just trying to figure out what these signs even mean separately. Capricorn, from what I gathered, is all about being super focused, disciplined, you know, the type A personality that loves to climb that career ladder. I started working out in what ways I could start being more focused in my personal life, as well as at work. I made to-do lists for just about everything, and it felt good to check things off. It felt like I was getting somewhere, even if it was just small stuff around the house or finally organizing my closet. It felt really good to take control of things that were in my control.
Then there’s the Libra Moon part. This one’s about emotions, peace, relationships, and being fair. This is where it got tricky. How do I balance wanting all this structure and ambition with also needing harmony and feeling good inside? Started focusing more on my relationships. Called up some old friends, spent more quality time with my partner, really listened when they talked. Tried to be more present and not just caught up in my own head all the time. It was tough. I had always put my work and responsibilities first. My relationships took a back seat, but I realized that they shouldn’t.
So, I’m trying to juggle these two sides. One day, I’m all in on a project at work, head down, not really paying attention to anything else. I tried to be more mindful of how I was interacting with my coworkers. Made an effort to ask about their weekends, offer help when I could, that sort of thing. It felt good to be more connected at work, not just focused on the tasks. Then the next, I’m trying to be this peaceful, understanding person at home, which, let me tell you, isn’t always easy when you’ve had a long day. I actually started meditating for a few minutes each day. I thought it was going to be useless, but it actually helped. It cleared my head and made it easier to be present with my family, instead of being stuck in my head about work or whatever else.
The hardest part, I think, is dealing with my own expectations. I want to be this perfect, successful person, but I also want to be happy and have great relationships. It’s like, can I really have both? I noticed I was being super hard on myself, which is typical, I guess. I mean, I always thought that being critical of myself was the only way to improve. I’m trying to be kinder to myself, to accept that I’m not always going to get it right, and that’s okay. I’m reading books about self-compassion, journaling my thoughts, and talking to a therapist. It’s helping me realize that I’m human and that it’s okay to not be perfect all the time.
Here’s what I’ve been doing:
- Work-life balance: Trying to set boundaries between work and home. It’s hard, but I’m getting better at leaving work at work. I’m making more time for hobbies and things I enjoy, like painting and reading. It’s been really refreshing to have something to look forward to that’s not work-related.
- Relationships: Making an effort to connect with people, really listen, and be there for them. Even if it’s just a quick text to check in, it makes a difference. I even tried to take my friends’ advice and point of view when it came to major decisions instead of just keeping things to myself.
- Self-care: This is a big one. Trying to be kinder to myself, taking breaks, and not feeling guilty about it. I’m learning to say “no” to things when I’m feeling overwhelmed, which is a huge step for me. I’ve always been a “yes” person, but I’m realizing that it’s okay to prioritize my own well-being.
It’s a work in progress, for sure. Some days are better than others. But I feel like I’m learning a lot about myself and what really matters to me. It’s not just about being successful or having everything in order. It’s also about feeling good, being connected, and finding that balance. It’s a journey, and I’m here for it. I hope some of this makes sense and is helpful for anyone else who’s trying to figure out their own Sun-Moon combo. It’s tough, but I think it’s worth it to try to understand ourselves better.
