As a Capricorn, you tend to aim high, which is admirable, but it’s vital that you ask the question of whether you actually want this goal. Because you tend to aim so high, the goal is often for something that touches your heart and your soul. Ask yourself this. The answer may surprise you.
Worldly achievements are terrific, but personal happiness is a better companion
As a Capricorn, you deal with an unusual, in fact rare, combination of drive and desire to achieve in the world you’re in. It may not be commercial, it may be your own world.
However, another side of your nature can struggle, if not be amazingly anxious about getting things right. At times you struggle with self-doubt. Some would say that this is the reason you chose to be a Capricorn: to learn from both the challenges and the doubts you are facing. Some question that idea of choosing this.
However, if you choose the way to live, work, and take care of yourself that suits you, it could well be that you’ll have been drawn to life as a Capricorn, with its unique gifts and lessons.
Think of this when fears arise, and you will not only learn from them, you may well find you are able to share that wisdom with others as well. And whatever form it takes, this discovery will enable you both to discuss your experiences and recall how much you’ve benefited from them.
In each case, recognizing that you’re not alone in those doubts is one of the secrets of life for you. And when you recognize that, you will be able to deal with your doubts and help others in ways that you can’t imagine at the time, as well as bringing a very special variety of support and help to the world.
Speaking of doubts, you can sometimes think that others have it easy when you don’t really know them. But as you become acquainted with them, you realize that they’re wrestling with exactly the same kind of doubts you are and that, instead of standing back and looking at each other, you can support each other.
Yes, food and exercise are important—and getting those right helps you feel well. But the thing that actually makes you feel terrific when you get up in the morning, and just as terrific when you go to bed at night, is simple happiness, and that comes with accepting who you are today: now, in the moment. Learn that skill and everything else will fade away.

With so much in flux, this hardly seems a logical time to reject certain once-appealing options, but the more you learn, the more aware you are that they really wouldn’t be a good idea. What’s more, the time has come to narrow your options to those that would work in every setting.
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.
