While a Capricorn Moon isn’t always seen as beneficial, as it squares off with retrograde Neptune in Aries, daily horoscopes show it will become your greatest tool in cutting through any illusions or fantasies.
Retrograde Neptune can bring about a lot of feelings and the ability to overthink. However, the Capricorn Moon is secure in its emotions. While you may feel detached from your innermost feelings, this energy can help you take a logical and practical approach to your romantic life. The Capricorn Moon provides you with a focus point, which can help you not succumb to any confusion that you experience. Retrograde Neptune’s purpose is to move you through a period of self-growth and healing as you realize your own power and begin to believe in your ability to create the relationship you desire. Yet, Neptune brings themes of confusion, illusions, and fantasies, so it can be difficult to know what is real and what isn’t. This is where the Capricorn Moon in all of its practicality becomes of benefit as it can help you slow down in this moment, which will save you from regrets in the next.

Aries

Try not to worry about how others see you today, dear Aries. The Capricorn Moon can help you remember that it’s not your concern what everyone else thinks. Your view of yourself and the connection that you share with your partner matter most.
It’s not your job to prove who you are, yet to back away from this task, you must reflect on what defines you. Nothing has power over you unless you grant it.
While the words or gossip of others may tug at your heart, you must remember that they don’t define you. This won’t only serve to benefit your relationship, but your own path of growth as well.
Taurus

It’s easy to look back and think you wish you had listened, but that is not going to be of benefit. Instead, on July 9, embrace the energy of the Capricorn Moon in your house of luck and new beginnings and start looking toward the future.

Define your own success, Cancer. A relationship is only successful if it fulfills your desires and needs. It doesn’t matter if it meets certain milestones or looks like what everyone else is doing.
You are being guided to redefine what a successful relationship looks like as retrograde Neptune moves through Aries. Today, though, the Capricorn Moon in your house of romance is your focus.
Try to lean into your feelings, rather than thinking they are inconvenient. While you tend to see love as anything but logical, right now, you need to ground yourself in what is real in order to find success in this new chapter.
Leo

Leo, on July 9, retrograde Neptune in Aries is intensifying your dreams for the future, while the Capricorn Moon is reminding you to approach change logically.
Transformation doesn’t happen all at once, beautiful Leo. As a fire sign, you tend to rush in and want to change everything, yet that isn’t always the best path to take.
Start small today. Whether this is about how to improve your current relationship or call in a soul-aligned partner, you don’t need to change your entire life overnight. One step at a time will help ensure you remain on the path meant for you.
Virgo

Scorpio

Don’t censor yourself, dear Aquarius. The Capricorn Moon is in your house of intuition today, just as retrograde Neptune in Aries is moving through your house of communication and sacred understanding.

You don’t have to accept a love just because it’s being offered, Pisces.
Retrograde Neptune in Aries is in your house of self-worth and value, bringing confusion and divine tests to your self-growth. At the same time, the Capricorn Moon is encouraging you to connect with long-time friends or acquaintances who have a solid record of being there for you.
Instead of thinking that you need to keep everything to yourself, try to open up to those you trust about the confusion that you’re feeling. They can help you realize that just because someone says they love you, doesn’t mean it’s a love that you need.
