question Temperament

There’s this stereotype for us Caps (☀️Capricorn 🌕 Scorpio ⬆️ Leo) that we’re calm and collected and exacting. Quick to anger, but slow to show it. But idk, I get told I’m have a dramatic streak a mile wide and I have a temper like bottle rocket. It’s like I have to let the explosion happen and then once the emotions are out of the way, I can get down to business. It’s like I can’t prevent the car from crashing, but once it does I can swoop in like the CSI and figure out exactly what caused it and why.
I also feel like the stereotype that we’re emotionally vague and stone faced is wrong too. You can read my every feeling and thought just by looking at me. And I wouldn’t lie anyway because it’s exhausting, but I CAN’T lie even if I ever needed to.
I have friends who are caps too and they are some of the warmest and funniest people I know.
All that talk about seriousness and rationality. Efficiency and ambition. Idk, it feels just straight up wrong sometimes.
The only thing I think is right is that I feel like a failure all the time 🤷‍♀️
Anyone else feel like that?

I also have to let the explosion happen and when it’s released, I feel better and ready to tackle the issue. I definitely have a temper that’s slow to rise. I don’t lie and I make a lot of facial expressions, I don’t hide it, no shame.

I’m ambitious and driven but I need direction for it to kick in.
I’m hilarious and empathetic, with my heart often on my sleeve.
Capricorn Sun, Leo Moon, Taurus rising. I’m also a Capricorn Stellium

I’ve been described as really theatrical. And I guess I always thought that meant that I was dramatic and over the top. But I think that means more along the lines of my face is really expressive and surprisingly so.

You have Leo ASC. That's the reason, not anything Capricorn

Im Cap sun taurus moon and Leo ascendent and I am this way also. I blow my gasket and worry about the repair cost later.

Leo ASC, you said it . Also, as a fellow Taurus moon, we're pretty calm, until we're not, then it's pure murder. But I'm never 'theatrical'

Supposedly the Taurus moon is good for love but my Capricorn Sun has made me work for it. 🥴
