CAPRICORN SIGNS 2006
The Sun glowed in
Capricorn, the Sea-Goat, a feminine sign on your birthday. The Sun in astrology
stands for our inner nature, revealing the mark of our true character. The tenth
sign of the zodiac, Capricorn is ruled by powerful Saturn, the planet of
structure and responsibility, but it is the exaltation of Mars, the planet of
action and desire! A cardinal (creative and original) sign, Capricorn governs
public life and organisation, combined with personal ambition and will to
succeed. An earth sign, Capricorn is a loyal associate and faithful friend –
although the Goat can be quite possessive and even rather jealous.
Saturn, the lord of
karma and emblem of structure, is strong. Tenacious, logical and endowed with
the capacity to work hard and long, you rarely hesitate to grasp opportunities
for advancement or promotion. You are quite well-grounded, especially later in
life (over 40), once you have learnt to overcome those early insecurities. More
ambitious than you appear on the surface and a natural executive or manager, you
set out to accomplish and are determined to succeed one way or another.
Pragmatic and goal-oriented, you soon learn how to get things done, for you
aspire to positions of power and authority and admire others who attain such
positions.
Keys to Success
Initiative and willingness to accept responsibilities are keys to your success,
but a false pride makes it hard for you to admit when you are wrong, or to ask
others for help. Though you compete aggressively for what you want, you harbour
an inner lack of confidence which can make you defensive. Viewing insecurity and
fear as weakness, you attempt to hide such feelings, making it hard for others
to get close to you.
Hard-nosed Capricorn reacts by assessing the possible worth of any given
situation. The goat is a sure-footed, methodical climber. You are heading for
the top of the rock, so you'll gladly work long and hard if it means getting
what (or who) you want. The energy and randiness of the goat is proverbial, but
you can be very lazy if you see no sense in working, or if you can achieve the
same high goals in a less strenuous manner.
Structure and Reality
Your sense of humour is generally impeccable, although you fail to see the point
of personal jokes at your expense. You hold grudges and will take revenge for
perceived slights. The ancient emblem of Capricorn was the sea-goat, half goat
and half fish. This symbolised the death of the lower mind and the birth of the
spiritual. The goat was a popular sacrificial animal in days gone by.
Saturn, structure and reality, teaches an understanding of limits in all areas
of life. You respond to traditional values, rules and regulations, and proper
thought and behaviour at an early age, even if you reject these things later.
Without a coherent structure to guide you toward your goals, you risk losing
your way. Ambition and enthusiasm fade without such a structure on which to hang
them. Once the reality of something is understood, it is much easier to handle
and manipulate. You can be a good builder, engineer, politician, lawyer, or
business executive.
Youthful AppearanceLean Capricorn develops good eating habits early, which stand
you in good stead as an adult. An innate spirit of competition makes you keen on
sports, although you can be so aggressively determined to win, you can be less
than gracious when you lose. Jogging, running (especially cross-country), golf,
skating, hunting, wrestling, boxing, martial arts, and body-building are
favorite activities. Although you probably looked older or more mature when you
were young, you seem to defy the aging process, and retain a remarkably youthful
appearance from your middle years well into old age.
Capricorn rules the bones and joints (especially the knees), teeth, and skin.
Sensitive skin, allergies, and broken bones are problems, while worrying too
much can also result in physical disorders. You suffer from insecurity and
anxiety in your youth, but blossom under Saturn in your later years.
Your colours are chocolate brown, royal and navy blue, dark green, charcoal grey
and red. Capricorn rules metallic lead, while the red garnet is your birthstone,
which protects against accidents and falls. In some ancient societies, garnets
were worn only by royalty. Capricorn flowers include the camellia, orange
blossom, carnation (red), baby's breath, and magnolia.
