Moon in its own sign is very strong, very nurturing, soft, caring, not as emotionally attached. They can be irritating to people who are needing more emotional response.
Bill Clinton has Moon in Taurus: people would bit up on him. He will just stand their and let them hit him. He did not respond to anything, he remained calm. There is no point of getting upset, getting upset makes things worst so they don't let it happen.
Moon in Taurus = love their mother, happy with their mother.
Moon in Capricorn = emotionally detached and objective. Lack tenderness and empathy. Very touchy and hard on themselves. Frequently have problems with family members. They become emotional at some point. Usually don't know why they are having problems because they are so focused on themselves not knowing the things around them. They alienate themselves.
Rule oriented, keeping things organized. It is a business. It can be very dedicated, organized, done, got up early. This is how the family comes into the picture. They often not feel appreciated because they are the one doing everything.
More difficult with the chart of women. Have some sort of bitterness, they can manipulate things. They don't self nurture. They make sure they are compensated, say things without thinking. Know how to form friendship to people as long as it benefits them.
Good for women but bad for man.

It is all about taking the outside world and completely fused everything with whatever it is. They like skiing for example. Relates to surgery. Playing tennis for example, you are just there and you become that. On relationship, they only understand to urge completely to death.
Divorce is death for them. Once a bond is broken, it is hard for them to move on. All this things happens un-consciously. Live in sort of quite intense fuming reality. It is unethical and vicarious experience for them. They are like primitive. Something that you are engross. Things that are real.
Breast feeding is very Scorpionic but once the child grows up, the problem starts. They can no longer feel bonded to their children once they can't merged with them. They often cut their children free. They feel betrayed by their kids very often.
If the people where fused, they feel bonded. Once that bond is broken, they feel betrayed.
Scorpio likes darkness and mystery. There is a lot of things that goes on behind the scene that they don't tell you. The darkness is a way of developing greater intensity. They will dispense with everything in order to get intensity. Intensity is more fulfilling.
