Normally, as a Capricorn you have endless goals for this week, for this month, for this year, and for your life—and you don’t need more of them. What those goals need is an edit. Do that regularly and you will recognize how much you’ve done, and then be clearer about what’s next.
I’ll explore ways to blend—and benefit from—my fiery practicality
Being a December 21st Capricorn, you balance the sign just before yours—Sagittarius, a fire sign—with the far more earthy Capricorn. That fiery side is restless and both enjoys, and thrives on, facing challenges. This is also the part of your nature that is easily bored.
However, the earth-sign part—the Capricorn side—is not only able to focus on whatever you’re facing, but mostly, because of your inborn discipline, you have a remarkable ability to stick with a battle, and will amaze others by what you achieve simply by employing that Capricorn focus.
Yet every once in a while, you will experience the restlessness that is part of your Sagittarian side. While, initially, you’ll try to chase it away, once you are conscious of it, and even more, how you can benefit from it, you will realize what an asset it is.
Each side of your nature brings the other amazingly useful skills and perceptions, and when you blend the two, you will find that not only do you have a greater capacity to adapt to unexpected changes, you will benefit as much from the joy that is very much a part of your Sagittarian nature, as you will from the stability that comes with being a Capricorn.
The more aware of them you are, the more you will enjoy what each adds to your life.
It’s true that you’re generous by nature and you will support friends and family, as well as the world, in ways that are often as appropriate as they are unanticipated. However, there is a part of you that’s very discreet about this and prefers to keep those gifts a secret. Do so, but also realize that if you do it openly, you will inspire others.
Being an earth sign, you have an instinctive understanding about the importance of keeping in shape, and will work hard to do that. However, there is a side of your nature that you tend to neglect, and that has to do with the part that’s affected by stress. Allow it to take over, and it can undermine you. Underdoing it? You can begin by simply breathing.
Normally, as a Capricorn you have endless goals for this week, for this month, for this year, and for your life—and you don’t need more of them. What those goals need is an edit. Do that regularly and you will recognize how much you’ve done, and then be clearer about what’s next.
Ordinarily, what begins as a dispute ends up ideally with a constructive outcome. But what you’re facing now could have as much to do with a fundamental misunderstanding of your and others’ objectives. Make discussing and untangling any such issues your priority, and those tensions could vanish.
Capricorn: DECEMBER 21 – JANUARY 19
Ruler: Saturn
Symbol: The Goat
Element: Earth
Flower: Pansy
As a practical earth sign, whose symbol is the horned goat, you can achieve the impossible, in the form of ascending a mountain, or attaining an ambition. Being ruled by hardy Saturn, you’re discreet about your many kindnesses, but glory in your tough exterior. Your flower is the pansy; your plants are hemp and ivy; your trees, elm and yew. Your stones are symbolic of winter’s dark days—black pearls, black diamonds, and jet.
