Capricorn! About
Your Sign...
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.

Possible
Health Concerns:
|
Capricorn governs the knees,
bones and skin, so its subjects
may be liable to fractures
and strains of the knees
and other defects of the
legs. Skin diseases from
rashes and boils to leprosy
(in countries where that
disease is prevalent) are
dangers, and digestive upsets
may be caused by the tendency
of Capricorns to worry or
suppress emotions. Anemia,
Bright's disease, catarrh,
deafness, rheumatism and
rickets are also said to
threaten the natives of
this sign.

Problems
that may arise for
Capricorns:
|
As with all sun signs, we
all have unique traits to
our personalities. When
these traits are suppressed,
or unrealized, problems
will arise. However, with
astrology we can examine
the problem and assess the
proper solution based on
the sun sign characteristics.
As a Capricornian, you may
see things below that really
strike home. Try the solution,
you most likely will be
amazed at the results. If
you find yourself on the
receiving end of the negatives
below, it is because you
are failing to express the
positive.
PROBLEM: Having
people take advantage of
you and your good nature.
SOLUTION: Try
being more careful with
your favors, and putting
number one first for a change.
PROBLEM: Having
people getting "turned off"
of you.
SOLUTION: Examine
the kind of causes that
you have been defending
or pushing lately; make
wiser choices.
PROBLEM: Coworkers
not liking to work along
side of you, sharing projects.
SOLUTION:
While you make a good authority
figure try not to act like
it when working in tandem
with another as an equal.
PROBLEM: Getting
too tired out and not finishing
projects that you have in
the works.
SOLUTION:
Try not to make too many
plans and have them scheduled
too close together. Try
pacing yourself and you
will clear this problem
up.

The beautiful Onyx is your
starstone. Onyx is a type
of agate (cryptocrystaline
Quartz) that is recognized
by the alternating, parallel
bands of black and white.
It is used for the carving
of cameos, (a figure carved
in the white layer which
stands in relief against
the black layer). If the
white layer alternates with
a different color then the
agate is given different
names: if red it's carnelian-onyx,
if brown it is sardonyx,
and if the second layer
is of the pale shades that
characterizes common chalcedony
it is called chalcedony-onyx.
A solid piece of pure black
Onyx is dyed. Agates are
not always dyed black unless
it is called Onyx, (Agate
is frequently dyed red,
green, blue, etc.)
