Your
most likeable trait: STEADINESS
Capricorns are
ambitious, and the lives of those born under this sign are
marked by a purposeful pursuit of their destiny. Your
motivating force is desire for success, money, status, position,
authority, and (though you may not realize it) for love.
In the sign of
Capricorn the practicality of earth combines with the initiative
of cardinality to create a personality geared toward leadership
and power. Your ruler Saturn is the planet of limitations,
which includes the limitation of time. You have a heightened
sense of the value of time, which helps to make you a superb
organizer and planner. In the sign of Capricorn the
quality of patience reaches new heights. One of the
hallmarks of your sign is that you learn to wait for things you
want.
An aura of melancholy
and sternness often surrounds you. Saturn has been called
the Celestial Task master for it symbolizes responsibility, discipline
and restriction. You, as a child of Saturn, are practical
and above all determined. As long as there is a top to get
to from the bottom, you will persevere in your upward striving.
You think of yourself
as a real person in a real world which allows little time for
idle pleasure seeking. You have a sense of purpose and a great
faith in your own ability. Essentially, you feel you can
depend only on yourself. This remoteness of spirit is
often misunderstood by others; it has been described as cold
passion. But you are not cold as much as self-sufficient.
Beneath your reserve there is a sensitive and sympathetic
person, and anyone who needs a strong shoulder to lean on
needn't look further than Capricorn.
Certainly you do not deserve
your reputation for being sober and gloomy. One of your
more striking characteristics is a sense of humor. Your
wit may be dry, incisive, but it is extremely funny and has a
way of erupting when others least expect it.
As is your nature with
everything else in life, you are cautious and conservative with
money. Chances are you will amass wealth during your
lifetime (usually in the later years), for you know how to make
sound investments. In business your success is due to painstaking
preparation. The journey of ten thousand miles may begin
with a single step, but you know you can't get anywhere unless
you first know where you're going. You may not size up a
situation as quickly as some, but that can be an advantage, for
it means you won't heedlessly plunge in. Instead, you will
research, examine what others have done before, and gather all
relevant data. Only then, with a thorough understanding of
the details, will you begin to move. And then you won't be
stopped until you reach your goal.
Your basic concern is
for security. That goal comes first and you are usually
materialistic. You can be spiteful toward those who stand
in the way. You have a great sense of pride and will not
forgive anyone who belittles or slights you. By the same
token you will repay favors done for you. Scorpios also go
out of their way to repay a kindness, but in their case it is
done out of a sense of gratitude and fidelity. With you
the motivation is pride, which does not allow you to live
comfortably under and obligation
More than any other
sign of the zodiac, Capricorns marry for money and
prestige. In most relationships you must dominate, because
when you are in control you do not feel vulnerable to another
person's power. In small ways you are continually testing the
loyalty of those close to you. You are the loner of the
zodiac, but have a great need to be loved and appreciated.
Unfortunately, you won't let this need be known - in fact, you
are a past master at concealing it.
Underneath the mask,
you wear still other masks, and it can take a long time to
discover the real you. To others you may appear aloof,
indifferent, hard to reach because you are so
self-contained. But the very elusiveness of your Capricorn
personality can be hypnotically attractive.
anyone who cares enough
to penetrate your shell of reserve will be greatly rewarded.
Your affection and loyalty run deep, and you cherish and protect
those you love. And you stick around when the going is
toughest. |
