~Something about
Capricorn:~
- Capricorns are ambitious, efficient,
patient, worrisome, intolerant, pessimistic, and stubborn. They seem to
have a wall around them, yet they really do enjoy the limelight. Even
their spare time is spent on practical things. Decisions come slow, but
they rarely make mistakes. They are deeply hurt by attacks. They heal
slowly and could be vindictive. Sometimes they are loners for fear of
being hurt.
- Capricorns have few intimate friends, and
they speak only when they feel a need to speak. They desire recognition
and need encouragement and praise.
- They are conservative in dress and in
their home.
- In love, they are romantic and emotional,
but may be inhibited in expressing their emotions. Commitments come
slowly. Often they marry late in life, but they marry for life. Capricorns
rarely divorce, because they do not want to give up any of what they have
worked to acquire.

Capricorn is one of the most stable and (mostly) serious of the zodiacal
types. These independent, rocklike characters have many sterling
qualities. They are normally confident, strong willed and calm. These
hardworking, unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and
cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for as long as
is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for themselves. They are
reliable workers in almost any profession they undertake. They are the
major finishers of most projects started by the 'pioneering' signs; with
firm stick-to-it-ness they quickly become the backbone of any company they
work for.
Capricornians make of themselves, resourceful, determined managers;
setting high standards for themselves and others. They strive always for
honesty in their criticism of self, they respect discipline from above and
demand it from those beneath them. In their methodical, tough, stubborn,
unyielding way, they persist against personal hardship, putting their
families and/or their work before their own needs and welfare to reach
their objectives long after others have given up and fallen by the
wayside. In fact when practical ability allied with the drive of ambition
are required in employees to make a project succeed, Capricornians are the
people to hire. They plan carefully to fulfill their ambitions (which
often include becoming wealthy), they are economical without meanness, and
able to achieve great results with minimum effort and expense. Because of
their organizing ability they are able to work on several projects
simultaneously.
They have a great respect for authority but may not, if they reach high
rank, be willing to listen to other opinions on things they are directly
responsible for. As the ranking authority figure in a given situation they
expect their underlings to be as self disciplined as they themselves are,
and to perform every task undertaken to the highest standard. They are,
nevertheless, fair as well as demanding. Among their equals they are not
always the most pleasant of work fellows for they are reserved and too
conservative, valuing tradition more than innovation, however valuable the
latter, and they are often humorless. There is also a tendency to
pessimism, melancholy and even unhappiness which many Capricornians are
unable to keep to themselves, especially if they fail personally. In the
extreme this trait can make them a very depressed individual; ecstatic
happiness alternating with the most wretched kind of misery which is so
subconsciously buried that he or she should seek help if such emotions
become frequent. For the above reason, capable Capricorn should spend many
hours in meditation, gathering the strength to control such inner
emotions.
The swings in mood are not the only reason some Capricornians deserve the
adjective based on their name - capricious. They can be surprisingly and
suddenly witty and subtle for the quiet, reserved individuals they seem to
be, and they also have a tendency to ruin things by unexpected and utterly
irresponsible bouts of flippancy. In certain individuals in whom the
characteristic is strong, the temptation to do this has to be resisted
with iron self-control. Another unexpected quality in some Capricornians
is an interest in the occult which persists in spite of their naturally
skeptical turn of mind.
Their intellects are sometimes very subtle. They think profoundly and
deeply, throughly exploring all possibilities before deciding on a 'safe'
alternative. They have good memories and an insatiable yet methodical
desire for knowledge. They are rational, logical and clearheaded, have
good concentration, delight in debate in which they can show off their
cleverness by luring their adversaries into traps and confounding them
with logic.
In their personal relationships they are often ill-at-ease, if not
downright unhappy. They are somewhat self-centered but not excessively so,
wary and cautious around people they do not know very well, preferring not
to meddle with others and in turn not to allow interference with
themselves, thus they tend to attract people who do not understand them.
Casual acquaintances they will treat with diplomacy, tact and, above all,
reticence. They make few good friends but are intensely loyal to those
they do make, and they can become bitter, and powerful enemies. They
sometimes dislike the opposite sex and test the waters of affection
gingerly before judging the temperature right for marriage. Once married,
however, they are faithful, though inclined to jealousy. Most
Capricornians marry for life.
Their occupations can include most professions that have to do with math
or money and they are strongly attracted to music. They can be economists,
financiers, bankers, speculators, contractors, managers and real estate
brokers. They excel as bureaucrats, especially where projects demanding
long-term planning and working are concerned, and their skill in debate
and love of dialectic make them good politicians. They are excellent
teachers, especially as principals of educational establishments where
they have the authority to manage and organize without too much intimacy
with the staff members. If working with their hands, they can become
practical scientists, engineers, farmers and builders. The wit and
flippancy which is characteristic of certain Capricornians may make some
turn to entertainment as a career.
