Capricorn personality profile
Related Articles
Saturn rules Capricorn and its authority puts a restraining order on excess. This planet holds the universe in check. Not an easy energy, Saturn challenges recklessness. Saturn is our conscience warning against foolhardiness. Intimidating to the free spirited, Saturn may undermine weak self-esteem, heightening self-doubt and confusion.
Saturn’s buzzword is ‘don’t’, which may repress, depress, or comfort, according to disposition. Like an autocratic parent, this Ruling Planet is good to have around in a crisis. But debilitating when we need to muster self-confidence. Balance is crucial in the face of Saturn’s warning flag. It is advisable to take the hint and put the breaks on questionable behaviour but equally important to resist Saturn’s bullying.
PERSONALITY
Capricorn is the tenth sign of the Zodiac. Represented by the Goat with the fishy tail, Capricorn’s keynote is “I use”. The sure-footed Goat is able to traverse treacherous mountains, whilst keeping its feet firmly on Terra Firma. The fishy tail represents the ocean emphasising the ability to swim free without constraint – the spiritual nature of being.
Traditionally Capricorn is depicted as a rigid, unbending and inflexible sign. And very stubborn with it! This is not the complete picture of course. But Capricorns do love to get their way and are expert at finding the chinks in people’s armour. The Goat is brilliant at subtle manipulation and well able to ‘plant the seed’ months in advance to ensure a specific outcome.
The Capricorn legacy combines material savvy and survival skills with spiritual expression. Practical, financial and business ventures provide the Goat with the opportunity to express their true essence. For this sign has the potential to integrate life’s material and spiritual dimensions – powerful indeed.
Focus gets Capricorn absolutely everywhere and a fully integrated Goat may achieve great things. The development of self-confidence is crucial to Capricorn’s success. But it is important that the Goat does not abuse their natural authority or things could get ugly. If Capricorn maintains spiritual balance all will be well. However, many of the World’s control freaks are Capricorn, who sacrifice kindness to serve their ambitions.
If you are Capricorn learn to adapt and survive rather than seek to control at all costs. Maintaining devious levels of manipulation is very self-defeating, as you will no doubt realise. So never use a string of lies to get you to where you want to be. Your stories may captivate an audience, but in time your exposure as a fraud may be too much too bear.
Your brilliant mind brings many temptations. Ambition is very important to Capricorn. Learn to delegate and ask for favours on your way to the top. Remember that with enough determination you can conquer any mountain you wish to climb.
