Moon in Capricorn

"How does your child perceive their mother?"
Your child believes their mother adheres to a strict set of behavioral rules. She expresses control, organization, determination, and persistence.
"What does he need in order to feel secure and safe?"
This child lives in the real world. His feet are firmly on the ground. He is serious, cautious, and highly reserved. All of this gives him confidence. He needs to understand what is happening, what his place is within it, and where the path ahead leads. He is ambitious, desiring status and a leadership role. This child will likely care more than others about appearing "correct," about his home and belongings looking "correct," and about you appearing "correct" as well.
Your child is highly pragmatic. If faced with a choice, he will methodically consider all options, then make a practical move or take the most useful decision. He is not a dreamer. If he appears to be daydreaming, he is most likely contemplating a practical solution to a specific problem. His seriousness and caution can easily turn into worry and pessimism. You must be the person who can convince him that "the sun exists" when your child stubbornly sees nothing but clouds.
This child seems overly mature for his age from early childhood. Rather than being overly emotional, he will appear emotionally restrained, as he considers it inappropriate to display his feelings openly. Your child is not cold—he is caring. He simply feels that such matters should not be discussed at great length.
