Capricorn

Capricorn is the mountain Goat, which describes the signs sturdy ambitions. Their attitude to life is shaped by practical necessity, and Capricorns are unlikely to disrupt the status qua, unless they believe that it can be improved. However there’s much, much more to Capricorn’s than their worldly persona suggests, Capricorn is reflective and introspective and can’t develop a more spiritual side without first learning to live in society. Capricorn needs to connect more with the esoteric side of life, once they have established themselves in the world. Capricorn’s are learning to master their environment and themselves, so that they shine as an example of the power of the human will. Capricorn is often the late bloomer of the zodiac, but will struggle persistently, against tremendous odds to reach the pinnacle they seek. Given the opportunities, and the motivation, Capricorn’s can make a good manager’s, although they can sometimes find it difficult to delegate.

Capricorn’s can also find it difficult to have fun and relax, they are concerned with tradition and structure, and take marriage and family commitments very seriously. This is a socially orientated sign, which plays by the rules, and projects the right social image. They want to socially advance, and their underlying belief of destiny involves contributing something meaningful and lasting to society. To build something of social worth to many, something that benefits the world. Capricorn wants to build something important in the world that stands as a testimony to their hard work and efforts, this earth sign knows how to manipulate the material world to their advantage. These individuals have leaned to carry responsibility and hardship early on in life, and there may have been an early initiation into the hard facts of life. Early life has taught them to be tough and not complain. Capricorn knows that adversity and uphill climbing will only help the character to grow stronger and become more resilient.

The keynote about this earth sign is realism, nothing is ever done by Capricorn without a purpose, yet they don’t always reveal their deeper goals and aspirations in life, they wait, assess, and plan. Survival is another keynote to understanding this sign, these people are always aware of the possibility of failure rather than success. This is what gives Capricorn’s their innate realism and so the goat climbs up the mountain fully aware it is not guaranteed to succeed. Nothing is taken for granted by these people, they do not rely on luck like the preceding sign of Sagittarius, they replace luck with good solid hard work. Capricorn’s are deeply introverted souls, and they must first learn to live in the world before they can delve into the more mysterious realms of life. The pattern of Capricorns journey is usually divided into two halves, the first half of life is rather burdensome, loaded with responsibility, duties and usually under authority figures, taking orders. It can be a frustrating period. But after those 30 years are over it is like Capricorn is released from a self imposed prison.

In Capricorn’s unconscious lies a powerful self determination and ambition that has been brooding inside them. Capricorn may be a late bloomer, but they know the value of hard work, and are most likely to succeed. People with lots of Capricorn planets feel duty bound, they can feel guilty when another side of them wants to be free from obligations and feel less weighed down. Wherever Capricorn is in our charts describes where we may feel were given tests in life that require our stamina and patience. We have purposeful needs here and we want solid results. Capricorn is emotionally reserved and keeps emotions securely under wraps. These individuals rarely react to life events with an outward show of emotions, instead they tend to maintain an exterior of coolness. Capricorn sets out to be effective as it can in practical terms. The idea of being dependent on others and not in control is deeply frightening. Therefore the capacity for self control and self mastery is remarkable, and no matter how many knocks these people receive, they have an extraordinary capacity to overcome adversity. Therefore the Capricorn embodies the spirit of determination. To overcome life’s obstacles.
