Capricorn

| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Capricorn is the tenth sign of the Zodiac, the sign that the Sun enters every year at the start of Winter. Capricorn, represented by a Mountain Goat (which sometimes has a Fish tail), is linked with prominence, achievement, and social position. In Capricorn, the Angels give worldly honours, worthiness, and virÂtue, enÂlighten understanding, and confer human reason. The tarot card that signifies Capricorn is The Devil.

Understanding Capricorn in the Zodiacal Year
Capricorn is the Cardinal Earth sign, symbolizing mountain ranges. It is a Feminine sign, but because its traditional ruler is Saturn, the ancient Roman god of time, duty, and severity, it embraces masculine qualities as well. Capricorn is one of two signs Saturn rules, the other being Aquarius.
Because of the Saturnian rulership, Capricorns are said to be career-minded, financially trustworthy, and steady in their work habits. Their worst flaw may be a form of conservatism that seems more reactionary than responsible, but they are never so reactionary that they cannot give credit to innovations that prove practical and workable.
If You Are a Capricorn
If you were born between December 22 and January 20, Capricorn is your sign. You are capable and brave, but sometimes too critical of those beneath you. You are very cool and calculating, seldom influenced by others, and make an excellent student. Your ambition should lead you to great success. Although you do not easily make friends, you are careful to keep your promises and will fulfill all trusts and obligations.
The capacity to plan well and wisely for the future is a natural gift; you are tenacious and steadfast in your career. Money plays an important part in your life, for without a definite income, you are hampered in your ambitions. Your friendships, when chosen wisely, will last all of your life. Your lucky day is Saturday.
The Capricorn People in Your Life
These people are often very stubborn and obstinate; like the Goat they place their main dependence upon their heads. They are well fitted for the management of large enterprises, being quick to grasp an opportunity and never fail to see the money-making side of any scheme or purpose, although they are apt to engage in too many different things. They are practical, industrious, and saving. Their executive ability alone is quite sufficient to carry them to great heights, although when engaged in business of their own they lack self-confidence, and unless they are given much encouragement they are apt to become gloomy and despondent.
