The importance of the father archetype is a vital aspect of the Capricornian experience implicit in this sign’s symbolism is the realization that one must sooner or later put away frivolous things and get down to business. As Liz Greene puts it, ‘Acceptance of earthly responsibility and limitations is also the process of passage from being the son to being the father, from boy to man, from ungrounded spirit to active contribution in incarnation.’ This is equally true of both…...
When you unconsciously need others’ reassurance that you are the most important part of their interpersonal situations, you may unknowingly manipulate them emotionally to gain respect. This can lead to needless dramas of personal suffering that force them to acknowledge and admire your ability to survive. You may instinctively guard your image and try to appease others by becoming, for that moment, what they respect. In sacrificing yourself for the respect of another, you may lose your own identity. Indulging…...
Children born into the father-dominated sign of Capricorn obtain the values of traditional business and the corporate power structure and the ability to go about attaining power. Capricorns usually feel apprehensive about confronting the father, unlike the other Earth signs. Capricorn children are usually quite well-behaved, and they tend to frown on too much frivolity in life. They take responsibilities seriously. Even their sense of humor is serious – it’s often cynical or satirical; funny stories are told with a…...
Question: I’m a Capricorn and I have to feel I’m getting my money’s worth with most, if not, all things I want to buy. Any thoughts? Capricorn often excels at the gift of making lemonade from life’s lemons – As they get older they also have the great ability to know which things are big deals and which things are not. Capricorn doesn’t need luck in life and can judge things pretty well. Alan Leo has a succinct description of…...
Question: What I’ve noticed is that Capricorns do care a lot about security. Making sure they have all of their material needs provided for is important for them. They take security seriously, hate to feel ‘unsafe,’ and tend not to do rash, irresponsible things that could risk security. Capricorns tend to be no-nonsense, and don’t have time for idiots, fools, and hopeless cases. It’s not that they are unkind, so much as they won’t put up with someone who is…...
Question: Today I am planning to go back to the bookshelf to Linda Goodman about Capricorns. Since I am getting negative vibes from inside and out about Capricornians and Saturnians. My area of doubt begins with the very basic question: Are they perceived as less loveable? Generally, it’s difficult to appreciate their controlled nature, lack of spontaneity and their restraints, measured responses, their long, grim face touching ground level. Any thoughts? I supposed it is each to their own, but…...
The landscape of Capricorn is fertile but mountainous, and portrays not only life’s rewards but also its hardships. The stones of Capricorn’s landscape are full of history and the ghosts of the past; and the tough mountain goats and tenacious pines which eke out a precarious livelihood on the slopes have seen many civilizations rise and fall. The god of time is also the god of history. and awareness of the importance of time produces a valuing of the past…...
If you ask Capricorn a question, be prepared that you may not like the answer. If you reveal your problems, be prepared that Capricorn will not leave you alone until you have made the change they deem so necessary for your happiness. Capricorn people are so ambitious that they want success not only for themselves but for their nearest and dearest as well. This may make them sound modern in their thinking and in some respects they are, but underneath…...
Question: As a Capricorn, will I bloom later in life? In later life you bloom. Better to bloom late, than to never bloom, right? A Capricorn usually doesn’t mind getting older, that’s when you really come into your own. The direction life takes after forty is one your life’s most significant turns. The era you enter into is just so different from your first forty years – it is completely justifiable to call it your second life. I think the…...
The Capricorn or Saturn energy in our chart is where we make decisions slowly, and fight against any and every possible change to the status quo -no matter how big or small. Also, such people often find it very difficult to ask for help. It has to do with their fear of being vulnerable, the fear of rejection, the fear of looking needy and weak. The fear of being seen as burdensome to others instead of self-sufficient. Capricorn and Saturn…...
