Black+Moon+A+Guide+to+Healing+the+Shadow+Side

Projection: negative reaction to bossy, showy, or attention-seeking
people; rebellion against being told what to do
Goals: to be comfortable when not in control, to stand up for yourself
Manifestation:
The Black Moon in Capricorn manifests as a need to control the course of
events. When this shadow dominates, we have a tendency to be
demanding. We can go to extreme efforts to gain attention. We have
definite ideas about the way things should be and others often succumb to
the force of our will. Frequently we refuse to give up until someone –
anyone - acknowledges what we have to offer or agrees with what we
think is best. A little bit of recognition goes a long way with us, but so
does a little bit of neglect, and Black Moon in Capricorn has a long
memory. But interpersonal relationships suffer when we wear down
another‟s free will to come into compliance with our own. This results in
lackluster relationships where the joyful spark of life becomes
extinguished. We are very hard workers, but we can also expect a lot
from others.
Healing and Transcending:
With the Black Moon in Capricorn, we need to examine what we are
trying to control. We also need to give ourselves the recognition we seek.
When we are able to do this, there is no longer a drive to ensure that
others follow our wishes because we already have what we need.

Examine where you need to have your way. Observe
yourself carefully. Are you telling someone how, when,
or what to do? Practice allowing others to go about
tasks in their own way.
Ask others what they would like to do and then do it.
Enjoy the feeling of not being responsible for
everything. Freedom, spontaneity, and a joyful feeling
for life will return when the pressure to be a certain
way is removed.
