While people often write lists of what needs to be done, perhaps the most important thing for you to do is simply to stop and rethink what isn’t working. That isn’t losing the game; it is actually being creative—and just when it’s important.
I can stick to plans, or view them as a jumping-off point
You are quite rightly proud of your drive as a Capricorn. However, you’ve probably noticed it’s easy to confuse those worldly goals with your more personal goals and ideals, and the achievements you have in mind with other goals. Those are the kind that you know others will acknowledge, possibly certain individuals you would like to impress.
Defining this drive is part of your journey. While others may have helpful ideas about the best approach, while you will listen to their suggestions, it is vital that you rewrite their suggestions so they suit you. In some cases, it may be doing something a little differently than others suggest. But, just as often, it will be about discovering something that isn’t merely different, it is entirely separate from anything anyone around you, including you, would have conceived.
It’s about a breakthrough. True, in some cases, it may seem you’re rebelling, but there is another way of looking at it. There is a plan for you—one that is taking you in new and often completely unexpected directions.
And, better yet, simply by exploring it, you’ll learn something new, exciting, and magical. This new path enables you to make the best of the earth-sign side of your nature, but also allows you to see what the heavens offer you, and that is where the excitement comes in.
As a Capricorn you will occasionally want to associate with those you look up to so that they will inspire you. However, if you’re feeling anxious, you enjoy being around those who haven’t done as well as you simply because they will boost your ego. Of course, the secret is to seek out equals who will draw you forward with them.
You can do all you can to keep yourself in good shape—eating properly and working out—yet there is still one thing that can undermine you if you don’t pay attention to it and that is, quite simply, stress. The remedy? You could do fancy meditation and all of that, but simply taking a walk and a few deep breaths is a good start.
While people often write lists of what needs to be done, perhaps the most important thing for you to do is simply to stop and rethink what isn’t working. That isn’t losing the game; it is actually being creative—and just when it’s important.
You need a break. You’ve been under considerable pressure for weeks, and while you have handled it well, some of it will continue. The trick is to recognize this won’t last forever and to balance the pressure with doing something you enjoy each and every day.
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.
