Capricorn ! About Your
Self... |
Capricorn is one of the most stable and (mostly)
serious of the zodiacal types. These independent, rocklike
characters have many sterling qualities. They are normally
confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking,
unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and
cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for
as long as is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for
themselves. They are reliable workers in almost any profession
they undertake. They are the major finishers of most projects
started by the 'pioneering' signs; with firm stick-to-it-ness
they quickly become the backbone of any company they work for.
Capricornians make of themselves, resourceful,
determined managers; setting high standards for themselves and
others. They strive always for honesty in their criticism of
self, they respect discipline from above and demand it from
those beneath them. In their methodical, tough, stubborn,
unyielding way, they persist against personal hardship,
putting their families and/or their work before their own
needs and welfare to reach their objectives long after others
have given up and fallen by the wayside. In fact when
practical ability allied with the drive of ambition are
required in employees to make a project succeed, Capricornians
are the people to hire. They plan carefully to fulfill their
ambitions (which often include becoming wealthy), they are
economical without meanness, and able to achieve great results
with minimum effort and expense. Because of their organizing
ability they are able to work on several projects
simultaneously.
They have a great respect for authority
but may not, if they reach high rank, be willing to listen to
other opinions on things they are directly responsible for. As
the ranking authority figure in a given situation they expect
their underlings to be as self disciplined as they themselves
are, and to perform every task undertaken to the highest
standard. They are, nevertheless, fair as well as demanding.
Among their equals they are not always the most pleasant of
work fellows for they are reserved and too conservative,
valuing tradition more than innovation, however valuable the
latter, and they are often humorless. There is also a tendency
to pessimism, melancholy and even unhappiness which many
Capricornians are unable to keep to themselves, especially if
they fail personally. In the extreme this trait can make them
a very depressed individual; ecstatic happiness alternating
with the most wretched kind of misery which is so
subconsciously buried that he or she should seek help if such
emotions become frequent. For the above reason, capable
Capricorn should spend many hours in meditation, gathering the
strength to control such inner emotions.
The swings in
mood are not the only reason some Capricornians deserve the
adjective based on their name - capricious. They can be
surprisingly and suddenly witty and subtle for the quiet,
reserved individuals they seem to be, and they also have a
tendency to ruin things by unexpected and utterly
irresponsible bouts of flippancy. In certain individuals in
whom the characteristic is strong, the temptation to do this
has to be resisted with iron self-control. Another unexpected
quality in some Capricornians is an interest in the occult
which persists in spite of their naturally skeptical turn of
mind.
Their intellects are sometimes very subtle. They
think profoundly and deeply, throughly exploring all
possibilities before deciding on a 'safe' alternative. They
have good memories and an insatiable yet methodical desire for
knowledge. They are rational, logical and clearheaded, have
good concentration, delight in debate in which they can show
off their cleverness by luring their adversaries into traps
and confounding them with logic.
In their personal
relationships they are often ill-at-ease, if not downright
unhappy. They are somewhat self-centered but not excessively
so, wary and cautious around people they do not know very
well, preferring not to meddle with others and in turn not to
allow interference with themselves, thus they tend to attract
people who do not understand them. Casual acquaintances they
will treat with diplomacy, tact and, above all, reticence.
They make few good friends but are intensely loyal to those
they do make, and they can become bitter, and powerful
enemies. They sometimes dislike the opposite sex and test the
waters of affection gingerly before judging the temperature
right for marriage. Once married, however, they are faithful,
though inclined to jealousy. Most Capricornians marry for
life.
Their occupations can include most professions
that have to do with math or money and they are strongly
attracted to music. They can be economists, financiers,
bankers, speculators, contractors, managers and real estate
brokers. They excel as bureaucrats, especially where projects
demanding long-term planning and working are concerned, and
their skill in debate and love of dialectic make them good
politicians. They are excellent teachers, especially as
principals of educational establishments where they have the
authority to manage and organize without too much intimacy
with the staff members. If working with their hands, they can
become practical scientists, engineers, farmers and builders.
The wit and flippancy which is characteristic of certain
Capricornians may make some turn to entertainment as a
career.

Possible Health
Concerns... |
Capricorn governs the knees, bones and skin, so its
subjects may be liable to fractures and strains of the knees
and other defects of the legs. Skin diseases from rashes and
boils to leprosy (in countries where that disease is
prevalent) are dangers, and digestive upsets may be caused by
the tendency of Capricorns to worry or suppress emotions.
Anemia, Bright's disease, catarrh, deafness, rheumatism and
rickets are also said to threaten the natives of this
sign.

PROBLEMS THAT
MAY ARISE FOR YOU, AND THEIR SOLUTIONS |
As with all sun signs, we all have unique traits to
our personalities. When these traits are suppressed, or
unrealized, problems will arise. However, with astrology we
can examine the problem and assess the proper solution based
on the sun sign characteristics. As a Capricornian, you may
see things below that really strike home. Try the solution,
you most likely will be amazed at the results. If you find
yourself on the receiving end of the negatives below, it is
because you are failing to express the
positive.
Problem : Having people take advantage
of you and your good nature.
Solution : Try being
more careful with your favors, and putting number one first
for a change.
Problem : Having people getting
"turned off" of you.
Solution : Examine the kind of
causes that you have been defending or pushing lately; make
wiser choices.
Problem : Coworkers not liking to
work along side of you, sharing projects.
Solution :
While you make a good authority figure try not to act like it
when working in tandem with another as an
equal.
Problem : Getting too tired out and not
finishing projects that you have in the works.
Solution
: Try not to make too many plans and have them scheduled
too close together. Try pacing yourself and you will clear
this problem up.
