Capricorn
(December 22 - January 19)
Capricorn, whose constellation is known as
Capricornus, is one of the oldest of the astrological
interpretations. It is ruled by Saturn.
Its symbol is the goat. This is sometimes depicted as a sea
borne hybrid or Dolphin. The image is often an animal with the
body of a goat and the tail of a fish.
Personal Traits
The Capricornian is generally a serious character
possessing a wry sense of humor. Independent, steady as a rock,
Capricorn reflects earthy qualities that range from clever to vacuous.
Mostly cautious, confident, strong willed, reasonable and hard
working, Capricorns are a rock upon which to build. They are often aloof,
shrewd, practical, responsible and persevering. They are capable of great
endurance. Reliable in any profession they undertake, but lacking in
originality, they usually excel in following up on what someone else has started.
Within prescribed areas, Capricorn is a resourceful,
practical manager. These folks set high standards for themselves
and others. They are self critical, and work well in a disciplined
environment, demanding equal measure from their subordinates.
A careful, ambitious planner, Capricorn moves forward
with quiet, deliberate persistence. They can be frugal,
possessing the ability to achieve results with minimum effort
and expense. Highly organized, they excel in
managing several projects simultaneously.
Capricorn will often vie for a position of authority.
Once attaining control, they are demanding and exacting in
leadership. Although firm, they are usually fair to people they
deal with. They value tradition.
Positive Traits
A person born under the sign of Capricorn will have a tendency to
be goal oriented. They seek positions where they can have great
control and authority. They don't function well in subordinate
positions. If they believe they can succeed in attaining a goal,
they will persevere until it is reached.
Capricorns tend to be profound thinkers. To them life is
a serious business, and the need to be in control of it is paramount.
They are seekers after knowledge and wisdom. Rational, logical and
clearheaded, they have excellent concentration, and delight in all
forms of debate but will maintain these bonds their entire life.
They are loyal to intimates. Never impetuous, they consider
business and personal relationships carefully before becoming
involved. These are family people, and family usually comes first,
except where business is their primary concern.
Main positive traits: Ambitious, hard working,
responsible, practical, perseverance, self-discipline.
Negative Traits
Their naturally pessimistic nature explains their wry sense
of humor, which some think is no humor at all. They can spread
gloom and tension in a minute and are quite capable of depressing
everyone else around them. Never really up, but often down, they
need a positive environment to enliven their spirits.
In personal relationships they tend to be uncomfortable.
Rather self-centered, they are wary and suspicious of others.
They often have few close friends, but indifferent and
sometimes callous to those outside their circle.
Main negative traits: Stubborn, overbearing,
unforgiving, inhibited, fatalistic, condescending.
Lucky Stone - Garnet
Garnets can be found in a wide variety of colors except
for blue. This is due to the fact that there is a wide variety of
chemical compositions in this family of gemstones. Garnet is the
name of a large family of stones that includes almandine, andradite,
grossular, pyrope, and spessartine. The most precious and widely
used gems of all these families are almandine and pyrope.

Advise for the Capricorns
Sometimes Capricorns can lack self-confidence, making
them extremely defensive because deep down they fear rejection
or ridicule from others. They can hold a grudge, sometimes for many
years but should avoid it. Capricorns must learn to make allowances
for other peoples mistakes with no hard feelings. As a rule Capricorns
are likely to suffer from indigestion, rheumatism & pain in the feet.
Origins in Mythology
The sign of Capricorn within the Astrological zodiac dates back
to at least some 4,000 years. It is known that the Sumerians
placed a great emphasis upon this particular time of the period.
During their age, the winter solstice occurred within Capricorn.
On this date, many cultures of the ancient world would
perform elaborate rituals and carry out sacrifices.
The association of the goat with Capricorn clearly dates back to
ancient Babylon, at least. The Greeks related the sign to the horned
god Pan. The image of the hybrid goat-fish creature corresponds to
the tale of Pan's encounter with the beast Typhon. Attempting to
escape the dreaded monster, Pan turned his lower half into a fish,
in order to swiftly swim away. However, here again, the association
of Capricorn with water, also dates to earlier cultures.
The Egyptians and Chinese recognized this period as the
commencement of the much anticipated rainy season.
Immediately following Capricorn are Aquarius, the water
bearer, pouring moisture upon the earth, and Pisces,
the fish, immersed in the unseen life giving forces of water.
