Scorpio Sun , Capricorn Moon

Miranda is that very strong combination of the intensity of a Scorpio Sun with the rock solid resolve of the Capricorn Moon. This mix of Plutonian strength and Saturnian ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ is shown to its best in her video “Mama’s Broken Heart.

Scorpios never wear their heart on their sleeves like many other signs. They wish to dominate their relationships, sometimes even subconsciously and keep their true emotions covered deep inside.

People who are born with the sun in Scorpio are intelligent and have a certain depth that many find to be intimidating. They like to listen while themselves giving out very little.

The calm exterior hides the turbulent interior well. The intensity present in them helps them to move forward in times of struggle or stagnancy. Whenever they reach a standstill, they will somehow manage to solve the underlying problem with their tenacity and strong will.

Of course such intensity without a real sense of purpose can also lead to obsession and jealousy. A jealous scorpion certainly cannot be your best friend. But with a sense of purpose, they can call upon an amazing drive to attain all of their goals.

The sun in Scorpio causes those under the sign to become great competitors in life. They can also easily read the weaknesses of their opponents.

Like a scorpion, they will be still as a rock and as soon as the right moment comes along, they will sting with all their might. This makes them a very dangerous and formidable character to betray especially in relationships.

It might take some time for them to let you into their lives, but once it’s done they will be loyal forever. Due to this they may even appear to be somewhat enigmatic at times.

The sign is controlled by Pluto although in earlier times, Mars was assigned to it. This was so because Mars represent fire and energy similar to the characteristics of the Scorpio. Also in ancient times, Astrologers were not aware of the planet Pluto. With both of these planets looking after them, they have a certain amount of magnetism that just attracts others. While their determination and strength of will are commended, they are not gracious losers. They are however very wise and interested in the workings of the universe and its inhabitants. Their intellectual curiosity always keeps them calm and centered.

People born with the sun in Scorpio don’t care much for superficial things and are interested in matters that are of a deeper nature like questions about life, death, sex and love.

Now when it comes to the capricorn Moon, Miranda certainly shows it in many of her songs , they are generally just a hair depressing, often deals with death and has visual themes of homes ( houses are Capricorn) , Time ( in both lyrics and clocks) and the people she knows ( social climbing is such a Capricorn thing) and settings either very urban or surrounded by stone with more than a hint of sadness.

Being useful and productive are basic needs for Lunar Capricorns. Because they generally keep their emotions under check, Moon in Capricorn people come across as competent people.

However turbulent their emotions may be under the surface, Lunar Capricorns keep cool-headed—and they come across as steady and reliable people.

Capricorn Moon also instills a basic NEED to be some form of success , of making it to the top ect.

This position of the Moon suggests a desire for clear boundaries and realistic goals. Not much for taking risks in life, Lunar Capricorns look for safety and security in most everything they do. Most of them respect authority and tradition, and many are planning well ahead of the rest of us. You likely won’t have to remind them to protect their interests, plan for old age, or keep fall-back money in their bank accounts. These things come naturally to them.

Calm, cool, and collected—these words sum up Moon in Capricorn natives well. Messy emotions and “leaky” souls are a bit frightening for most with this position of the Moon. Truth is, they can have plenty of mood swings and some dark emotions now and again. Lunar Capricorns are often quite hard on themselves, and would benefit from letting their guard down once in a while. They quickly garner reputations of being mountains of strength, and they easily hide their sensitivity behind a sarcastic manner.

You may have read that Moon in Capricorn natives are a bit cold and calculating. The fact is, they are unlikely to be any less emotional than the other 11 sign positions of the Moon—they simply aren’t comfortable “letting go” when it comes to emotions. They keep their emotions under control. Wherever Capricorn is found in the chart, there is a desire for structure and control. Capricorn is the sign of organization and efficient management; so, when the Moon is found in the sign, the world of emotions are well-managed and handled in an efficient and practical manner.

At the heart of Lunar Capricorns is a powerful need to feel worthwhile in the real world. There’s a basic need for respectability and a big attachment to the world of the senses. Lunar Capricorns put a lot of value in all things tangible and real. And, perhaps more than anything, they need to be respected by others in order to feel secure.
