About Capricorn
(Dec.23-Jan.20)
Capricorn is the tenth
Sign of the Zodiac.
After Scorpio and
Sagittarius' discovery of
other people through
emotion and intellect,
Capricorn focuses on ascending through
life through hard work. People born under
this Sign are both ambitious and
disciplined; determined and dedicated to
achieving their goals. They are also
practical and realistic, cautious not to get
in over their heads. As the tenth Sign,
Capricorn also rules the tenth House: the
House of Social Status.
The Astrological Symbol of Capricorn is the
Sea Goat. They start from the Sea and
ascend to the highest mountain tops,
working their way upward with every step.
While the path is not always smooth, their
determination to succeed ensures they will
push on. They can also be rigid and
unforgiving when others stand in their way.
They are business leaders, often starting
businesses or coming up with new ideas. In
this way, Capricorn exemplifies the Cardinal
Quality assigned to it. They are
conservative, rarely risking too much, but
their tendency toward conformity make
stifle them at times. Their organizational
ability combines with their diligence to help
them achieve, but they can be
narrow-minded and over-critical of people
not as ambitious as they are. Within the
Zodiac, Capricorn is opposite Cancer, the
Sign of Home. Cancer finds status within
the family, while Capricorn is about social
status. Their business achievement and
reputation as solid citizens helps them
reach a high position in society, but they
may also be moralistic toward others.
Capricorn is ruled by the Planet Saturn. In
ancient Roman mythology, Saturn (and his
Greek equivalent, Cronus) was the father
of many of the Gods, including Zeus.
Saturn is about discipline, hard work, and
responsibility. It rules both Capricorn and
Aquarius; Capricorn is the feminine, or
night aspect and Aquarius is the masculine,
or day. Both Signs are about achieving
goals through hard work, but Aquarius
works hard to achieve their visions, while
Capricorn uses hard work to gain authority
and social status. Appearances are
important. As a result, Capricorn is loyal
and charitable, self-controlled and
self-reliant, but this may also lead to
inhibition or fatalism. They are dependable
and serious, never giving up on their goals.
Other people may see their ambition as
domineering or a reflection of egotism, but
they are patient and purposeful when
working toward what they want.
The Element associated with Capricorn is
Earth. Earth Signs are practical: they tend
to respond to the world through
practicality, rather than physical action,
intellect, or emotion. They are the
businessmen of the Zodiac, and when
Earth is combined with the action-oriented
Element of Fire, they become the
Capricorns who start businesses and lead
companies. Capricorns are economical and
scrupulous, but they can also be
materialistic and greedy. They tend to be
conventional, rather than rebellious or
flashy.
Capricorns are among the responsible and
traditional Signs. They are generally
reserved, careful, and stable. Sometimes
they may be overly critical, even bossy,
but this is due to their strong desire to
achieve their goals and not to a desire to
be rude. In fact, Capricorns are generally
polite because they understand that
making enemies will not help them achieve
in life.
In their leisure time, Capricorns enjoy
competition with other people. They tend
to enjoy team sports, but it can be difficult
for them when they lose through no fault
of their own. One-on-one competition also
appeals to them, and especially enjoy golf
and martial arts. In love relationships,
Capricorn is devoted, not daring!
Capricorn rules the knees, teeth, and
bones. People born under Capricorn may be
more susceptible to dental problems and
broken bones than people of other Signs.
Capricorn's colors are the Earthy colors of
brown and khaki.
The great strength of the Capricorn-born is
in their ability to set goals and keep
working until they achieve them. Their
ambition is inexhaustible, and they are not
easily deterred when their goals are in
sight. Their hard work makes them one of
the most successful characters of the
Zodiac.
