CAPRICORN
December 22 - January 20
Capricorn is an Earth sign and tends to be steady and predictable and makes a reliable friend. They tend to be born with tendencies to being both cautious and intensely practical. They generally avoid risk taking or participating in activities that they have reservations about. Rather than being determined – they tend to be more deliberate in the actions that they take to ensure that the actions are relatively conventional and ‘normal’, or at least acceptable to the wider society. They tend to be law abiding citizens with orthodox attitudes, with a greater emphasis on material security, talent and social position. They are usually found as the head of established organisations where they remain faithful and perform well. They have excellent memories as children – but may lose some of this natural asset after they complete their formal education. Children under this sign also need a peaceful environment – and a may have deep yearning for solitude, and failure to provide the required solitude has tendencies to result in a ‘melancholy’ disposition or feeling sad. Capricorns tend to focus on earthly and base needs, and fun activities during their younger years, and rarely work toward raising their spiritual consciousness until the later years of their life.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn is serious and can appear cold, hard and stern. They are usually known as figures of authority and are associated with rules, regulations, and tradition. They are probably the most stable sign of the zodiac and quickly become the backbone of the company they are working for. Many Capricorns run their own business as they can take control in a naturally cool and calm manner.
They don't let you get away with things very lightly and believe in hard work. Although they have a serious demeanor they are actually extremely sensitive and genuinely care for other people. They are also skeptical and certainly not prone to gullibility. Capricorns are full of wisdom and make great parents, keeping things organized and ticking over smoothly. You can always rely on a Capricorn.
Capricorns have a great sense of purpose and faith in their own ability because they are so mentally strong. They set out to accomplish things and are determined to succeed one way or another, making them natural executives and managers. They can sometimes lack confidence and try to hide it as they see insecurity and fear as a weakness, sometimes making it hard for others to get close to them.
Capricorn is ruled by the tenth house which is connected to work and publishing. Capricorn's motto is: "I use"
Things to Look out for with Capricorn
As it is Capricorn's duty in life to prove their self-worth they can be very controlling with others. The Capricorn is challenged in the 21st century because of their need for orthodox and convention, and their comfort in materialism is being shaken. Often their sense of self value iis based on their material success and financial security, and when this is at risk they can become emotionally insecure. While this is confusing for them – it is an opportunity to reassess their personal values and discern between the inauthentic and genuine, and what is transient and what is eternal. Once they reassess – they will ‘reawaken’ with a new set of rules and values, which will overcome their residual sadness and carry a new outlook on life, and ability for forward planning.
