Yes, it’s true, there’s a wild story behind the god who lends his name to Tuesday. Tiw’s remarkable myth involves women with beards (more on that in a bit). Regardless, the past 1,000 years or so have not been kind to this Northern European divinity.
Who is Tuesday named for?
To make a long story short, it seems that Tiw used to be a big shot, up there with Odin and Thor in Norse mythology. He may even have been chief of the gods. But culture can be fickle and cruel. Nowadays it’s not clear who he was exactly, or how to pronounce his name. We just have hints. There’s a lot to like about Tiw: He’s a war god, associated with courage and combat. He may have had a female companion named Zisa. And listen to how he lost his hand: There was a huge wolf named Fenris who was prophesized to eventually kill Odin, king of the gods. Understandably, the gods decided to restrain the beast while he was still growing. Fenris kept breaking his tethers, so the gods asked the dwarves to use their magic to craft a super leash called Gleipnir.
There are also bearded women: “It was made of six things: the noise a cat makes in foot-fall, the beard of a woman, the roots of a rock, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish, and the spittle of a bird. And though thou understand not these matters already, yet now thou mayest speedily find certain proof herein, that no lie is told thee: thou must have seen that a woman has no beard, and no sound comes from the leap of a cat, and there are no roots under a rock.” (From the Prose Edda.)
Fenris wouldn’t let the Gods bind him with Gleipnir unless one of them stuck his or her hand in the wolf’s mouth. Only Tiw was brave enough to do it. Snap! That’s how Tiw lost his hand. But at least the poor guy still has the day between Monday and Wednesday.

I know it is not Beltane yet, but I ran across this beautiful little poem. I believe it expresses the true meaning of this special time of year and wanted to share it with you on this Beltane Eve.
A woman stands, Alone in the woods, Awaiting her fate once more, Returning to her place in the cycle of life.
What is that? A rustling in the forest, Closer and closer the noice creeps, Is this the one to seal her destiny?
Now he stands before her, Clad in nothing but the sky, Grown to full manhood, and awaiting, Her.
Their eyes met, Locked in a familiar gaze, Have they been here before, Shall they dance this dance again?
No words were spoken as they met, Quietly they drew close together, And trembling with anticipation, They were united again once more.
He touched her face carefully, She seemed so familiar to him, As if he had always been a part of her, As if they completed a whole.
Beneath the hallowing moonlights glow, They danced the dance of ages, They met, and loved, and joined as one, Completing the holy union.
As they lay their after, A new cycle had already begun, She lay now holding his child, And he lay forseeing his death.
They would come apart again, And meet together once more. For it is the cycle of everything, As goes the Beltane Lore
—Lady Amhranai (2002)
Red leaves are carried in the salt west wind
And turn to brown on dry soil.
The sun is bright still, but not warm
On the last rich gold of scattered fall.
The great wheel turns, another year
Old, bright gold with death.
Bare branches now, the Old Lord’s limbs,
Chill wind the Old Lord’s breath.
Like dancing leaves on sleeping branches
The dark tide of memory is stirred.
The deepest thought-flame now is kindled,
Consuming, the fire in ancient words.
Samhain, the thin veil opens, fingers
Reaching through the blackness deep.
Through the grey cloud wisps, old voices
Shapes, shifting, slowly creep.
Mab’s red-eyed dogs, howling, wander
Through the fields as soil grows hard
Searching for uncounted jewels
The Fairy Queen’s forgotten shards
The last red morsels, undevoured
Returned to Her who granted birth
Mab’s womb, given up its children,
Shrivels, cold with the hardened earth.
In meadows that the scythe has tasted
Now the Samhain fires are high
The circle dance is weaving, spinning
On graceful foot, on darkened thigh,
The spiral dance is downward twisted,
The Horned One’s chant, the Welcome Home–
“Home” is on the north wind whispered,
The Swordless Death Lord takes his throne.
And to Mab, the Horned One’s sister,
Whose loins have yielded up their spark,
“Follow” now the north wind whispers,
Mab, Death Queen, the Timeless Dark.
And in the barren, fruitless meadow,
Dancing ’round the Samhain fire,
Her face a flower, her eyes a-tremble,
A young maid spins the ancient spire.
Chanting home the swordless Horned One,
Like a doe, she leaps the flame.
In cold Autumn’s death, a new beginning,
In Mab’s cold womb, life starts again.
Blessed Be.

“The leaves are budding across the land
on the ash and oak and hawthorn trees.
Magic rises around us in the forest
and the hedges are filled with laughter and love.
Dear lady, we offer you a gift,
a gathering of flowers picked by our hands,
woven into the circle of endless life.
The bright colors of nature herself
blend together to honor you,
Queen of spring,
as we give you honor this day.
Spring is here and the land is fertile,
ready to offer up gifts in your name.
we pay you tribute, our lady,
daughter of the Fae,
and ask your blessing this Beltane.”

May the Samhain bring you a bountiful harvest for whatever you sowed in the spring.
May your visit with your lived ones in the Summerlands bring you happiness and peace.
Blessed and happy Samhain btothers and sisters.
It is Monday Morning, April 29th, Hail & Well Met,
I am not here to defend or criticize Lady Abyss for her post yesterday. Lady Abyss has been my sister for as long as I can remember. We grew up together and then my family moved to Louisiana. Every time Lady A has needed me, I have come. I will always come to her aid because she is my sister and my family. Like Lady A, I have no one left on this plane to call family besides her. I probably know her better than she knows her own self. She is a very passionate person, loving, caring and most of all devoted. Any cause she decides to tackle she tackles it with every ounce of energy she has and is ruthless in the pursuit of it.
I have read some of your comments in regards to her post yesterday. Most of those posts were from new people to the site. I know you do not know what the last few years have been like for Lady Abyss, so I will enlighten you. Then perhaps you can understand and wonder what has kept her from exploding before now or losing her mind:
1. Her best friend and mine as well was killed in a tragic automobile accident out of state. Lady A was closer to Mystie than I was. I left and Lady A and Mystie continued to live together and grow up together. Lady A blamed herself for months and months for Mystie’s death. She kept saying, “if only I had been with her, if only I had been with her.” She thought if she had been with her that maybe she could have prevented that accident. Mystie had been drinking but wasn’t impaired. A semi crossed the line and hit Mystie’s car head on and she was killed instantly. Lady A thought that if she was there she would have been driving and maybe her reaction’s would have been faster and she could have avoided the wreck that took her best friend’s life. Mystie left behind two sons. Lady A took those sons in and is raising them as her own. Mystie had no life insurance to bury herself with. Lady A stepped in and maxed out all her credit cards so she could bury her best friend.
2. I don’t remember the date but the first incident involved Lady A being hit by a drunk driver. She was on her way to town on one of the back roads. The drunk driver ran a stop sign, hit Lady A’s truck in the side and flipped it. She has one of her familiars with her, who was hanging out the truck window enjoying the Summer breeze and that familiar was killed instantly. The fire department had to cut Lady A out of the truck after they got it back upright. She stayed in the hospital for a good month if not longer. Her left arm, that was holding her familiar, was pinned under the truck. The doctors thought they would have to amputate it because they thought she would never be able to use it again. They were wrong. We insisted they give her the chance to at least to try and use it and she did. But that is not the worst of it, her whole entire left side was so mangled that she had to have her hip replaced, they had to rebuild her entire left leg all the way down to her foot with rods, bolts, nuts and screws. They thought at one time she would never walk again. When she came to, she had amnesia. She didn’t remember a thing and she did recover her memory about a month or two of being home.
3. After that nasty accident, Lady A’s cabin was burnt to the ground. The boys were not home at the time. Lady A had a stalker who threw something through the window of her cabin and it ignited the entire ground floor. Lady A and her familiar were forced to jump out a second story window to avoid being burned to death. She landed on her left side and due to the fall, she injured some of the rods in that side. She was in the hospital for several weeks over that incident.
4. Lady A started experiencing severe pain in the right side of her body. The doctors sent her for tests. The tests revealed that she had a massive tumor on her right hip. It was also wrapped around her hip socket and running up and down that side of her body. They took her to surgery and removed the tumor. In the meantime, it was discovered that she had a very rare blood condition. At the time, one that the doctors had no treatment for. There was one treatment but it was experimental. It was also very costly and since it was experimental the insurance would not cover it. Lady A figured that her time on this plane was up and had prepared herself for the inevitable. But the money was raised at the last minute for the experimental drug and it does seem to be working. She has to go ever so often so the doctors can keep an eye on the drug and if there are any negative reactions to the drugs.
5. Lady A decided she would take a job so she wouldn’t have to depend on donations to survive. She took a job at one of the local vet clinics in town. The first day at work, she was viciously attacked by her employer. He has made passes at her off and on but she figured if she went to work for him, then she would be safe. It would be a safe, work environment, she was wrong. He came up to her and started massaging her shoulders. She told him to stop and started to get up. When she did, he hit her across the face and knocked her into a desk. She said she blacked out and doesn’t remember what happened after that. She woke up one top of him and the police was pulling her off of him. She said she was stunned at the blood and the man’s face. He had deep, deep scars on his face where she has tried to rip his face off and put out one of his eyes. She remembers none of this nor does she know how she was able to knock him in the floor and get on top of him. The police did not know what was going on, so they arrested both of them and Lady A went to jail over it. After her bond was determined, we managed to get her out of jail. She was defending herself from a brutal attack and she went to jail over it.
I know I have probably left something out but these are the facts that I can’t remember. I know Lady A has been through hell and back again. I know we all have our problems but it seems some of us more than others.
I am not defending the post Lady A made yesterday but I want you to understand a person can only take so much till they are pushed over their limit. I believe in the past few years, Lady A has had more than her fair share of unfortunate incidents. With everything she has been through, it is only a matter of time before she exploded, which she did yesterday.
I know Lady A better than anyone, I love her as a sister. I accept her with all her faults and all her being. She is only human and a human can only take so much. I have been with her through all the accident and tragedies that she has had in her life. I know her heart and I know her soul. She is a good person. Now that you understand her full story and background, are you still willing to judge her so quickly? If I had been through what she has been through, I probably wouldn’t have good sense by now and would have exploded a long time ago.
Lady A loves passionately. She cares deeply, at times I think too deeply but that is our Lady. In all these years of being on The WOTC, she has exploded perhaps once or twice. Each time she has caught hell for it, but put yourself in her shoes. Of course, we all have problems but Lady A has always tried to be open and honest with you. She has been an excellent leader and fought many battles that known of you know about. She has her battle scars more than your average person or witch. She is a wonderful mother to the boys, she has been kind and compassionate to everyone on this site and for some of the comments that came through, I was shocked. Yes, her post was shocking. I am not trying to second guess her or anything like that. I am assuming she felt like she had tried kindness and it didn’t work, so it was time for drastic measures, her familiar’s life was at stake. She values all life very highly. I can understand her being scared that she was going to lose her familiar. Lady A feels alone in this world even though she has all of us with her. She still feels alone. I know what I saw in her face yesterday, it was pain and heart-break.
So judge her if you will, throw your rocks and stones but understand one thing, no matter what happens, she does love each and everyone of you. I believe that is one of her biggest faults, she loves you too much. She only wants that love returned. I know yesterday she wasn’t in a very loving mood to anyone even us. She was scared and afraid. She is human after all. Maybe we forget that she is just human like the rest of us. Maybe we need to stop and ask ourselves if we were in her place how would we act? I know how I would act and it would be a lot worse than Lady A acted. No matter the outcome with Kade, we have decided that we are not going to let her leave The WOTC. If it comes to the worse with him, she will need love and support. She can get that here with those of you, she calls brothers and sisters. She will also have the support and comfort of everyone in this office. After all she is the heart and soul of The WOTC. She has took this site further than anyone else ever could. She has broke down many barriers and paved new paths for each and everyone of us.
I know behind the scenes what she has done for the Pagan community. I believe she is entitled to blow up once in a while, who wouldn’t she carries a heavy load on her shoulders. There is a lot you don’t know and a lot that has happened in our many years of being on the internet and in the local community. I know and the rest of the people here know as well. She has been a driving force in our community and we will not let her leave without a fight. We need her whether you think so or not. Without her presence we won’t last six months. She is our heart and soul. We love her no matter what. She is our family and our blood and we won’t let her leave no matter what.
Now that you know the whole story, are you so ready to criticize her? Think about it. Forgive her and let’s move on.

Thank you, Lady Beltane. I will tell Lady A of your generous donation. I know she will deeply appreciate it.
I don’t know how many of you are familiar with WordPress and their Adwords or not, just in case you aren’t, let me tell you a little secret….they don’t pay unless they see a site is active or making posts, has participation and all that crap. So I decided why not make a post, a good post, one I am sure you will enjoy and WordPress as well.
Most of the time when someone comes out and rants on this site, it isn’t me. It is generally Eleanor or it use to be Mystie. But today, you have the honor of hearing my rant. For the last few days, I have come to reality. It has hit me in the face so hard, I probably won’t see daylight for the next week. I have come to the realization I have been an idiot for all these years, a very big idiot. I have took every dime I could muster to keep this site and the store going. I have asked for donations to help with the operations numerous times, I admit it and it was truly only when we needed it. I have told you over and over again I hate like hell asking you for a dime and Goddess knows I do.
In these last few days we have been off the internet, something very serious has come up and I found I don’t have a dime to my name due to my stupidity as far as using every bit of money I can get to keep this place open. My familiar has come down with something I don’t know what. I have treated him with everything I know to treat him with and he is dying. He should be at the vet today but I don’t have the money for an emergency visit. So he will have to wait till tomorrow, then perhaps I can find a vet that will see him and take us in as a charity case, ain’t that a laugh. Funny because I ain’t laughing. He has stopped eating and I am now having to force food down him. I know we were out in the yard and I turned around and he was gagging on something and then threw up. After that he slowly started getting worse and worse. I should have took him Friday but the tumor in my hip hurt so bad, I could hardly walk. I should have dragged myself out the door and took him then but I didn’t I thought it was only a cold and something I could treat. WRONG! He has tons of mucus flowing out his nose, can’t breath and as I said has stopped eating. I am going to fry some hamburgers for supper and see if he eats any of mine. If not, I know it is more serious than what I am thinking. But he is sick and I am kicking myself in the ass because of what I have tried to accomplish here and no one wants to help. I have been living in a delusional world and my poor pup is going to pay for my stupidity.
Boy, boy, boy, you talk about someone kicking theirself in the ass, I am. As I sit here and write this, I wonder what on earth was I ever thinking. Seriously, what was I thinking. I thought I had a family here, brothers and sisters since I have no one else on this planet to call upon when I need help. Maybe that is it, I have asked you once to often for help. Perhaps, I have worn that line very thin between us. Who knows? I don’t have time to ponder it, I will do that later. Right now I am concerned for my baby. If I do not get him to a vet, he will die I know that. If he does die, I will never sit foot on The WOTC again. Because with his death, I will realize one thing, life is too short to sit at a computer and bust your ass for nothing. I am beginning to figure that out with this tumor in my hip that keeps coming back. Maybe that or someone is trying to tell me something, get up off your ass and enjoy life while you have some life left in you.
I can’t stand by and let my Kade suffer, I can’t do that. It is unfair to him and it is killing me. I thought the other day, I would not be making another post on here till the first of the month but circumstance beyond my control have occurred. I won’t let him die. I am asking for your help to save him. This is no joke or some scam to get money out of you, I swear it to you. I would never play with my baby’s life like that. He is sick and he is going to die if I do not get him to a vet tomorrow, it would be better tonight but I can’t afford an emergency trip to the vet. I can only hope and pray that he hangs on to in the morning. If he doesn’t make it through the night, then I don’t know what I will do. Probably lose my mind because of what I have spent my money on, a hopeless dream that apparently only I had. I don’t want to think about what might happen because it makes me sick at my stomach but if he does pass I will never be back here again. I will sign the title over to Lord Myst and he can do with this site as he likes. Why? Because I don’t believe I could face another person on this site after pouring my heart out and crying while I write this about my poor Kade again.
I guess basically I would consider myself a fool, cause the only thing in this world that loves me unconditionally I let die and for what? If this pisses you off, I won’t apologize. I am angry myself because I have been such an idiot for all these years. You are people that I have called brother & sister, who I have told I love you and meant it with all my heart and then I turn to you with my poor baby dying and get no help. How would that make you feel?
I am doing everything I can think of for him and I am having to watch him just lay there motionless. He is sick and I can’t do a think in my power for him. Perhaps this is my wake up call from the Goddess. I don’t know but I know in the last couple of days, I have done a lot of thinking and this now with Kade has pushed me to my limits. He needs to go to the doctor. If anything over the past few years that I have done has meant anything, won’t you please help me get him to the vet?
I won’t beg you because I don’t beg when I am angry and scared. I am scared I am going to lose Kade. The poor little thing has enough problems without his mother being a stupid, ass-idiot and letting him get in this shape and not having the money to take him to the vet. I will ask you only once and this will be it, help me raise the money to get Kade to the vet, then I will leave you alone forever, I promise.
Thank you,
Lady of the Abyss
I believe most of you can understand why I am so upset, especially if you are a witch. You can stomp all over a witch, but I be damned if you touch our familiars or cause them harm. If that happens, we will fight the world to save them and that is exactly what I am doing now. Fighting the whole damn world to save my baby.
Thank you psykev88 and Peta Nagle for your help it is deeply appreciated.
Good Thursday morning to all our dear family & friends! I hope everyone is having a very wonderful day so far. I wanted to let you know that your Daily Horoscopes, Birthday Horoscopes, Get a Jump on Tomorrow, Daily Tarot, Runes and Ogham reading have been posted. They are all on the WOTC’s store which I will provide a link to below. They are posted on the store because we have reached our data usage for the month, which will mean we have a higher internet provider bill. We will be posted our full line of dailies tomorrow on The WOTC. Basically, we are on an everyday schedule right now as to where we are posting. One day here, the next on the store.
I am not going to beat around the bush this morning. We are in a financial crisis, plain and simple. I know everyone is having financial difficulties at this current time as well as us. They say the economy is great, I want to know where. I ever find that place, we are moving, lol! As most of you know I have tried for years to finance the WOTC with the check I draw each month plus donations we receive. The government has seen fit to cut my monthly check to $700 a month. Try living on that for a month and see how well you do. I had some money put back for rainy day but that source has now been depleted. Our expense are double everything. I have two electric bills, two water bills, two insurance bills, car and truck insurance and the internet bill plus somewhere along the line I am suppose to be able to eat and buy groceries. Now we have property taxes on two places and the land that are due. Frankly there is nothing left.
I have about made up my mind there is no winning for losing anymore. I have considered offering Tarot readings or Rune readings to offset some of our expenses. But until I can get myself situated, it is not happening. I don’t even know if any of y’all would be interested in those types of readings or not. But back to the point and I hate like hell to even ask but we seriously need your help. There is too much going out and not enough coming in. You can figure it up yourself all the bills I named and the operating expenses here, see if you could do it all on $700 a month. You can’t do it. If you can, I want to know how. We have a electric bill from the past month, we haven’t been able to pay just yet. Thank the Goddess we haven’t been disconnected yet. But what concerns me more is the taxes. They are currently due and payable. I called the Sheriff’s Department and we have until May the 15th to pay them. If they are not paid, then they will put the building, my house and land up for auction. So you see we are in dire need of some money coming in from somewhere.
I have had several sleepless nights because of our finances. I have even spent some of those nights crying about our situation, which does no good except makes me have bags under our eyes. Last night, the idea of asking y’all for donations or some kind of help was put into my head. I don’t like asking you for donations but this little voice told me it wouldn’t hurt to ask. So I am not only asking, I am pleading. I don’t want to lose everything we have and I don’t want to just have to stop our work on the internet.. I feel like we have accomplished a lot and I don’t want to quit just in the middle of it. I would like to be able to continue our mission and survive at the same time.
My current health situation prevents me from going back to work. I haven’t said anything about it but the tumor they removed, has come back. I will undergoing treatment for it in the next few weeks. So right now, if I wanted to go back to work I couldn’t, I am dragging my leg along behind me. Who would want to hire someone who is dragging their leg behind them? No one in their right mind anyway, So all I know left to do is to ask for donations from the members here. We wanted to open up a New Age store downtown in Paducah but I don’t see that happening right now. That would be a great source of revenue for us but again we are held back because of funds.
Now that you know our current situation, I am asking for your help once again. It doesn’t matter what you can give, a dollar or two, would be greatly appreciate. Those dollars add up after a while. I know we appreciate one time donations greatly but it would also be great if we could have some monthly sponsors. We have a few and it does help out but we need more. Whatever you can find in your heart to donate, we would greatly appreciate it. Like I said, I hate to ask you for donations but there comes a time, I can’t to it all. We are now at that point. If you can give a dollar, five dollars, ten dollars, any amount is greatly appreciated and very welcomed. Perhaps when we get the Tarot card readings and Rune readings going, that will help to offset some of our operating expense or at least I hope it will. For now, I am asking you for help.
We appreciate your help and your efforts to help us to continue our work on the internet. We are making a difference and I don’t want to have to stop in mid-stream. Please help us continue our work and also meet our daily operating expenses.
Thank you so very much,
Lady of the Abyss

The Shape of the Southern Crab
Image Credit: NASA, ESA, STScI
Explanation: The symmetric, multi-legged appearance of the Southern Crab Nebula is certainly distinctive. About 7,000 light-years distant toward the southern sky constellation Centaurus, its glowing nested hourglass shapes are produced by the remarkable symbiotic binary star system at its center. The nebula’s dramatic stellar duo consists of a hot white dwarf star and cool, pulsating red giant star shedding outer layers that fall onto the smaller, much hotter companion. Embedded in a disk of material, outbursts from the white dwarf cause an outflow of gas driven away both above and below the disk resulting in the bipolar hourglass shapes. The bright central shape is about half a light-year across. This new Hubble Space Telescope image celebrates the 29th anniversary of Hubble’s launch on April 24, 1990 on board the Space Shuttle Discovery.
Before we talk about the Moon in Capricorn, let’s first learn a little bit about the Moon itself. The Moon is considered a planet in astrology, and it moves so quickly that it passes through each of the zodiac signs every month. While your Sun sign represents your basic nature, your Moon sign represents your inner emotions and moods. It’s important to know this piece of your astrological puzzle because it determines elements of your personality such as your fears, instincts, and romantic compatibility.
When the Moon moves into the conservative sign of Capricorn, we tend to be a little bit more cautious, a little more serious, and a little more grounded than we normally are. Capricorn is a sign that means business! Instead of being concerned with short-term satisfaction, you’ll be more inclined to dig in and focus on your long-term goals.
During the Capricorn Moon you might find that you have an increased desire for professional success. The good news is that this industrious Earth sign also gives you a shot of determination to achieve whatever it is you’ve set your sights on. Capricorn is a natural born leader so you may end up volunteering to head up a big project at work. You might also feel the urge to start looking at the next stage of your career and map out how you’ll get there.
New Moons are always a time of new beginnings. Our calendar New Year begins with the Sun in Capricorn so the Capricorn New Moon is like the beginning of a brand new personal year. We think of it this way because it’s a time when we set our intentions for what we want in the year ahead. These goals become like a mountain, and that mountain becomes the object we set out to climb. Luckily, Capricorn has a determination that equips us with the patience, discipline, and persistence to reach the top.
Every Full Moon has us working to finish what we started around the time of the New Moon, but when the Full Moon is in Capricorn it works even harder to finish what was started at the beginning of the lunar cycle. You’ll ask yourself what you obtained, what you have yet to achieve, and what you need to adjust to make things happen. A Capricorn Full Moon is all about success and never taking “no” for an answer. So, this is the time when you’ll get to the finish line because this Moon will help you tackle any obstacles you face along the way.
During this time the Moon in Capricorn faces the Sun in Cancer. Both signs are associated with security, yet they seek it in different ways. Capricorn is concerned with accomplishments and external status while Cancer wants us to tune into our feelings in search of comfort and safety. It’s not a matter of choosing to be hard or soft, sensitive or insensitive; this Full Moon is about learning how to be tough or tender depending on the circumstances. When the lesson is learned, we feel at home within ourselves and within the world around us.
Capricorn is ruled by taskmaster Saturn so it’s no surprise that those with a Capricorn Moon like to set the bar high. It’s isn’t just their patience and ambition that gets them far in life, it’s also that they also have a sense of responsibility to do well. They take pride in how reliable they are in their personal and professional lives.
Someone with their Moon in Capricorn can appear rather detached, but there is a very loyal and loving layer beneath the serious image they project to the world. They may not always use their words to express how they feel about another person, but their actions speak volumes about how much they care. While it does take Lunar Capricorns awhile to open up, it’s worth the wait as they’re one of the most stable and committed signs in the zodiac.
Capricorn has a reputation for being cool, calm, and collected. This is because those with this natal Moon sign don’t allow their emotions to rule them. They view tough situations through a pragmatic lens, and find a way to rationally approach each problem they face. This ability gives those with a Capricorn Moon the strength to push through any of life’s adversities.
