Capricorn
is the sign that rules the 10th solar month of the year, and the 10th
house of the zodiac. This sign is responsible, ambitious, and eager
to build a foundation from which to build. The 10th house, also begins
with the midheaven, and speaks volumes of what your career
choice will be.
Capricorn
is the fourth cardinal sign of the solar year, and the first month of
winter. It begins on the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year.
Capricorn energy is beneath the surface like a frozen pond with fish swimming
under the ice. They lead through determination and perseverance. They
trudge ahead slow but sure, never giving up.
The
Earth element adds a practicality to this sign, making Capricorn a builder,
like Taurus, but more action-initiating and ambitious. They build upon
their last success, learn from their mistakes, and appreciate the material
things that life offers. They work hard for what they receive and it‘s
lasting rather than fleeting.
The
planet Saturn rules Capricorn, and brings caution and restriction to the
mix. Saturn governs duty, limitation, self discipline; all things responsible
and practical. It teaches us through frustrated effort to take the necessary
steps to achieve our goals.
The
Goat is the symbol for Capricorn as it climbs up steep passages to find
sustenance and what it needs to survive.
The
highest use for Capricorn is to seek a career that truly allows you to
shine in your field with integrity. Not to create for money‘s sake
alone, but to grow and climb to the highest heights. To remove the icy
walls that has provided safety, and to allow vulnerability in order to
become whole. To learn to trust others and work with them.
