It’s important to be aware that as an earth sign, you will inevitably set worldly goals and they are easy to measure. When it comes to goals that have to do with your own self and your feelings, however, they are much less easy to measure, but feel much better when you have achieved them.
Each day’s surprise could become tomorrow’s opportunities
The joys of the physical world are a part of what comes with being a Capricorn. As an earth sign, you are aware of nature around you, in all its forms, from its majesty to an understanding of how things grow. You’re conscious of the elements that are an everyday part of our lives, from water to light, the air and energy, and how these, plus sunlight, virtually create your world.
While you try to incorporate these into your life, you are sometimes distracted by everyday duties and obligations to others. That’s why it is easy to lose that appreciation for the world around you and, in fact, for something larger than yourself. When that happens, you can lose access to that joy. And you’ll feel that loss, but won’t always realize what it is, or why. Yet it’s important for every person, especially for you, as an earth sign.
There is a trick to dealing with it, and, first, it’s to notice it, and then to realize that whatever you’re doing, you can reconnect with that power.
You don’t need to go anywhere. The simple act of pausing and thinking how amazing it is that you are you, and you’re living the life you’re living at the moment—that is the best place to start. And it is the best way to recover that joy—and in fact, to begin to feel that joy wrap its arms around you.
As a Capricorn, you have a knack for helping those around you, except sometimes your instincts correctly tell you that those individuals need to help themselves. The trick is to inspire them. This may be more difficult than you anticipate, but once you do it, you will have given them the greatest gift of all.
You may not feel yourself influenced by fads. However, when it comes to the shape of your body, it’s really easy—simply because, while there are some things you can change, there are others you can’t. The solution? To love yourself and love yourself unreservedly, whatever shape you are.
It’s important to be aware that as an earth sign, you will inevitably set worldly goals and they are easy to measure. When it comes to goals that have to do with your own self and your feelings, however, they are much less easy to measure, but feel much better when you have achieved them.
Sometimes the only way to make a point with certain difficult individuals is to become seriously angry with them. You’ve had to do this before and you realize that when you pretend to be angry, this works just as well and at less cost to your emotional equilibrium.
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.
