CAPRICORN a little history

The tenth sign of the zodiac is represented by the Goat, a sure-footed animal who scales the heights by taking advantage of every foothold. In ancient times, the Goat was depicted as part goat and part fISh, with its front half the goat and its back half the fish. In many old drawings and engravings you will see the Goat pictured with a fISh-tail, and in some astrology books Capricorn is known as the Sea-Goat. The Sea-Goat in the Babylonian religion was a great and revered god named Ea, who brought learning and culture to the people of Mesopota­mia. In the valley of Mesopotamia, irrigation of ,land and crops came primarily from the flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Because of this, people believed there was an ocean of fresh water underneath the earth. The god Ea lived in that ocean. Every day he came out of the underground sea to dispense his wisdom, and every night he returned there.By the time of Greek and Roman culture, Capri­corn had become associated with the god Pan, a sporting and lusty creature who ruled over wood­lands and fields, flocks and shepherds. Pan was a man from the waist up, and a goat from the waist down. He had goat ears and goat horns.Pan was fond of music and was famous for playing the pipes. His shepherd's pipe, called a syrinx, was actually a nymph who had rejected his sexual advances. Pan turned her into a musical instrument, saying that if he could not have her one way she would be his in a new guise. In time, Pan became known as the god of Nature. Certain qualities of Pan's-sexuality, im­pudence, a love of nature have become part of the character of Capricorn.

CAPRICORN

(December 22 - January 19)

DUALITY: Feminine

TRIPLICITY (ELEMENT): Earth

QUADRUPLICITY (QUALITY): Cardinal

Capricorn is reserved, prudent, patient, uses cunning instead of force, seeks security, is acquisi­tive, disciplined, determined, and quick to seize opportunity.

RULING PLANET: Saturn: Roman god who presided over the sowing and reaping of grain. In ancient times,

the outermost planet of the known universe. In astrology, Saturn represents obstacles, limitation, restriction, discipline.

SYMBOL: The Goat: A surefooted animal who is able to ascend the heights by taking advantage of every foothold. The goat butts its way through obstructions.

GLYPH (WRITTEN SYMBOL): The pictograph represents the V-shaped beard ofthe Goat and the curved tail of the Fish (the Sea-Goat, which was the ancient symbol for Capricorn). It also pictures the human knee and circular kneecap (the part of anatomy that Capricorn rules). In symbolic terms, the glyph is two straight lines that meet one another, connected to a circle and a crescent. This represents the melding of authority and responsibility that is strengthened by both energy and passion.

DOMINANT KEYWORD: I USE

POLARITY: Cancer:

Capricorn is the sign governing reputation, career, standing in the community. Its natives seek honor, praise, and approval in the world at large, but tend to be emotionally reserved in personal relationships. Cancer, Capricorn's opposite sign, is the sign of domesticity and home life. Cancerians derive security from the love and closeness of mates and family members.

PART OF THE BODY RULED BY CAPRICORN: The bones, joints, and knees: Capricorn natives often have beautiful bone structure, but they are subject to stiff joints, rheumatism, and orthopedic problems.

LUCKY DAY: Saturday

LUCKY NUMBERS: 2 and 8

MAGICAL BIRTHSTONE: Gamet: Attracts popularity, high esteem, and true love.

SPECIAL COLORS: Dark Green and Brown: Classic, comforting colors of nature and the earth.

CITIES: Oxford, Boston, Brussels, Chicago, Montreal

COUNTRIES: Mexico, Afghanistan, Bulgaria, India

FLOWERS: Carnation and Ivy

TREES: Pine, Elm, and Poplar

METAL: Lead

ANIMALS RULED BY CAPRICORN: Goats and animals with cloven hoofs

DANGER Other people may harbor hidden grudges and resentments because of Capricorn's coldness and reserve. Secrets from the past are often used against Capricorns.

Your most likeable trait: STEADINESS

CAPRICORNS are ambitious, and the lives of those born under this sign are marked by a purposeful pursuit of their destiny. Your moti­vating force is desire for success, money, status, position, authority, and (though you may not real­ize it) for love. In the sign of Capricorn the practicality of earth combines with the initiative of cardinality to create a personality geared toward leadership and power. Your ruler Saturn is the planet of limitations, which includes the limitation of time. (To the ancients, Saturn was the symbol for Father Time.) You have a heightened sense of the value of time, which helps to make you a superb organizer and planner. In the sign of Capricorn the quality of patience reaches new heights. One of the hallmarks of your sign is that you learn to wait for things you want. An aura of melancholy and sternness often sur­rounds you. Saturn has been called the Celestial Taskmaster for it symbolizes responsibility, disci­pline, and restriction. You, as a child of Saturn, are practical and above all determined. As long as there is a top to get to from the bottom, you will persevere in your upward striving. You think of yourself as a real person in a real world which allows little time for idle pleasure­seeking. You have a sense of purpose and a great faith in your own ability. Essentially, you feel you can depend only on yourself. This remoteness of spirit is often misunderstood by others; it has been described as cold passion. But you are not cold as much as self-sufficient. Beneath your reserve there is a sensitive and sympathetic person, and anyone who needs a strong shoulder to lean on needn't look further than Capricorn. Certainly you do not deserve your reputation for being sober and gloomy. One of your more striking characteristics is a sense of humor. Your wit may be dry, incisive, but it is extremely funny and has a way of erupting when others least expect it As is your nature with everything else in life, you are cautious and conservative with money. Chances are you will amass wealth during your lifetime (usually in the later years), for you know how to make sound investments. In business your success is due to painstaking preparation. The journey of ten thousand miles may begin with a single step, but you know you can't get anywhere unless you first know where you're going. You may not size up a situation as quickly as some, but that can be an advantage, for it means you won't heed­lessly plunge in. Instead, you will research, exam­ine what others have done before, and gather all relevant data. Only then, with a thorough understanding of the details, will you begin to move. And then you won't be stopped until you reach your goal.Your basic concern is for security. That goal comes first and you are usually materialistic. You can be spiteful toward those who stand in the way. You have a great sense of pride and will not forgive anyone who belittles or slights you. By the same token you will repay favors done for you. Scorpios also go out oftheir way to repay a kindness, but in their case it is done out of a sense of gratitude and fidelity. With you the motivation is pride, which does not allow you to live comfortably under an obligation More than any other sign of the zodiac, Capri­corns marry for money and prestige. In most rela­tionships you must dominate, because when you are in control you do not feel vulnerable to another person's power. In small ways you are continually testing the loyalty of those close to you. You are the loner of the zodiac, but have a great need to be loved and appreciated. Unfortunately, you won't let this need be known-in fact, you are a past master at concealing it. Underneath the mask, you wear still other masks, and it can take a long time to discover the real you. To others you may appear aloof, indiffer­ent, hard to reach because you are so self-con­tained. But the very elusiveness of your Capricorn personality can be hypnotically attractive. Anyone who cares enough to penetrate your shell of reserve will be greatly rewarded. Your affections and loyalty run deep, and you cherish and protect those you love. And you stick around when the going is toughest.

The Amorous Nature

I will be adding this soon Capricorn's Amorous Combinations

CAPRICORN AND ARIES They'll get along as lovers, but even in bed there'll be arguments about money, friends, socializing, and who's boss. A major difference is that Capricorn won't make a move unl ss sure of winning, whereas Aries is completely headstrong and impulsive. Arguments never fad away, for both are strong-willed, ag­ gressive, and need to dominate. Jealousy also raises its head as Aries's lively passions stray toward more fun-loving company. Temperamen­tally and emotionally, this mating is better suited to an arena than to hearth and home.

CAPRICORN AND TAURUS Taurus admires Capricorn's strength of purpose, and Capricorn is delighted with Taurus's affectionate stability. Tau­rus can get through to aloof, cautious Capricorn and give the encouragement and responsiveness needed. Both have earthy, passionate natures, and sensual Taurus can tap the deep well of romanti­cism that lies under Capricorn's reserve. Capricorn is loyal and Taurus is devoted, so jealousy is not a problem between these two. In addition, both value money, security, and are home-lovers. One union-strong and indivisible.

CAPRICORN AND GEMINI Capricorn will have a hard time holding the reins on excitable, flirta­tious, wayward Gemini. All of Capricorn's pa­tience is needed to deal with a partner it considers to be capricious, extravagant, and scatterbrained. Capricorn prizes order and control, and ap­proaches life in a practical, determined manner. Gemini is disorganized, highstrung, and erratic. Also, Gemini's verbal quickness has a way of mak­ing Capricorn secretly feel inadequate. Neither is particularly sentimental, so whatever flamelets ignite at the beginning will quickly cool.

CAPRICORN AND CANCER These two are sexu­ally attracted to each other, but need all the har­mony they find in the bedroom to offset the dis­cordance they create everywhere else. Sensitive Cancer will resent Capricorn's domineering man­ner. Capricorn isn't willing to put up with Cancer's endless emotional demands. Cancer's need for warmth will be frustrated by Capricorn's aloof coolness. Both fear rejection, but Cancer's ten­dency is to withdraw and Capricorn's is to become tyrannical. These two are zodiac opposites with all that implies.

CAPRICORN AND LEO Ordered, organized Capricorn neither understands nor approves of Leo's exuberant impulsiveness. Capricorn cannot stand Leo's habit of leaping first and looking after­ward. Extroverted Leo will be impatient with Cap­ricorn's secretive tendencies. Capricorn is too re­served to give Leo the adoration it needs, and proud Leo will not give in to Capricorn's domi­neering ways. Spendthrift Leo adores luxury while Capricorn puts financial security above all. Also, they both want to rule in the bedroom. This unpromising couple will find their way to a quick ending.

CAPRICORN AND VIRGO Virgo's neat orderly mind meshes well with Capricorn's self-discipline and capacity for hard work. Both take pride in their home, enjoy having a few close friends rather than many acquaintances, and admire each other's intellectual abilities. There's no reason this duo shouldn't click -except in the bedroom where Vir­go's reticence needs a stronger push than reserved Capricorn likes to give. Neither finds it easy to be spontaneously affectionate. However, this is the only minus entry on a balance sheet full of plusses.

CAPRICORN AND LIBRA Capricorn is intrigued by magnetic Libra, and Libra is charmed by Capri­corn's slowly revealed passions. But over the long term Libra needs more excitement, romance, and beauty than Capricorn can provide. Capricorn is not oriented toward social and artistic pursuits, which are Libra's favorite activities. Capricorn prizes discipline and responsibility, and finds Libra all together too frivolous, vain, and self-centered. Libra turns restive and starts to look elsewhere. Throw in some Capricorn jealousy to keep the cauldron bubbling. A recipe for disaster.

CAPRICORN AND SCORPIO Scorpio's power­ful sensuality kindles Capricorn's slumbering pas­sions. Scorpio is the more imaginative lover, but Ca'pricorn's stamina is a delightful match. Scor­pio's possessiveness spells security to Capricorn. These two work well as a team -Capricorn is highly organized and Scorpio has native shrewd­ness. Both prize discipline and accomplishment. Each is strong willed and sometimes Scorpio's renowned temper comes up against Capricorn's stubbornness. Their battles will be royal, but so will their makings-up.

CAPRICORN AND SAGITTARIUS Capricorn is cheered by optimistic Sagittarius, and Sagittarius is intrigued by Capricorn's depth and self-con­tainment. All too soon, though, Capricorn be­comes annoyed by Sagittarius's fickle attitude and total need for freedom without strings. Capricorn senses that it cannot count on Sagittarius's loyalty through thick and thin, and is frustrated by Sagit­tarius's nonchalance in love. Also, Sagittarius is impetuous and has free-and-easy spending habits while Capricorn is serious-minded and a stay-at­home. The ties that bind are soon cut.

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN Capricorns ap­prove of people like themselves, so with these two there's no lack of mutual respect and regard. Both are cautious, reserved personalities who work hard and love to save money. But even compatibility can sometimes be dull. They're well matched sexu­ally, but in other areas they encourage each other's tendencies to be gloomy and pessimistic. Neither one can relax or let down its hair. As partners they're okay, but not too much fun. Love travels an almost imperceptibly down ill road.

CAPRICORN AND AQUARIUS Capricorn finds Aquarius too unpredictable, and Aquarius's im­personal attitude makes Capriq>rn ul!.easy. Capri­corn's conventional approach quickly irritates adventurous Aquarius. Aquarius believes in self­expression; Capricorn believes in self-discipline. Aquarius is somewhat of a rover, while.€apricorn prefers home and hearth. Freedom-loving Aqua­rius won't stay bound for long to earnest, staid Capricorn. However, they should like each other and love can turn into friendship.

CAPRICORN AND PISCES Capricorn provides a ballast for Pisces's drifting dreaminess and supplies the stability that Pisces needs and admires. And there's nothing Capricorn likes better than being admired. Capricorn is the boudoir captain, but Pisces is a willing crew. Pisces's taste for the bizarre may even influence Capricorn's conventional pas­sions. Pisces's generous affections and Capricorn's strong sense of loyalty combine to make each feel safe and protected. These very different people meet each other's needs.

Decanate

What Is a Decanate?Each astrological sign is divided into three parts, and each part is called a decanate or a decan (the terms are used interchangeably). The word comes from the Greek word dekanoi, meaning "ten days apart." The Greeks took their word from the Egyptians, who divided their year into 360* days. The Egyptian year had twelve months of 30 days each, and each month was further divided into three sections often days each. It was these ten-day sections the Greeks called dekanoi. Astrology still divides the zodiac into decanates. There are twelve signs in the zodiac, and each sign is divided into three decanates. You might picture each decanate as a room. You were born in a certain sign, for example Gemini, that consists of three rooms (decanates). Which room of Gemini were you born in? , , The zodiac is a 360-degree circle. Each decanate is ten degrees of that circle, or about ten days long, since the Sun moves through the zodiac at approximately the rate of one degree per day. (This is not exact because not all of our months contain 30 days.) The decanate of a sign does not change the basic characteristics of that sign, but it does refine and individualize the sign's general characteristics. For example, if you were born in the second decanate of Gemini, that does not change the fact that you are a Geminian. It does indicate that you have somewhat different and special characteristics from those Geminians born in the first decanate or the third decanate. Each decanate has a constellation in the heavens that represents it. These constellations have special mystical meanings, which' also add to the unique quality of your decanate. Finally, each decanate has a specific planetary ruler, sometimes called a subruler because it does not usurp the overall rulership of the sign. The subruler can only enhance, or add to, the distinct characteristics of that decanate. For example, the entire sign of Gemini is ruled by Mercury, but the second decanate of Gemini is subruled by Venus. The influence of Venus, the subruler, combines with the overall authority of Mercury to make the second decanate of Gemini unlike any other in the zodiac. In the following guide, I have outlined the subtle differences and special characteristics of your own unique decanate.

The Decanates of Capricorn

FIRST DECANATE: DECEMBER 22 THROUGH DECEMBER 31

Keyword: Responsibility

Constellation: Corona Australis, the Southern Crown, garland of the gods. The constellation symbolizes commitment to knowledge.

Planetary subruler: Saturn

Saturn, planet of discipline, is both your ruler and subruler, which gives you a serious mien and a talent for handling responsibility. You are precise and orderly, and generally don't trust others to look after details. When you undertake a task you complete it to the best of your ability. Once you've set your mind on a goal, you are relentless and determined. There is a quiet force to your personal­ity; other people are always aware of your pres­ence. You are both subtle and aggressive; you have an instinct for knowing how far you can push. Ambition usually motivates you, for you are never content to be an underling. Love brings out your affectionate and demonstrative nature. When aroused you are a passionate person.

SECOND DECANATE: JANUARY 1 THROUGH JANUARY 10

Keyword: Fairness

Constellation: Lyra, the Harp, formed by the god Mercury from a tortoise shell. Lyra symbol­izes harmony.

Planetary subruler: Venus Venus, planet of love, softens Saturn's stern influence and gives a gentleness and serenity to your personality. People respond to your warmth and charm. Venus here also indicates an interest in beauty and design, and perhaps some creative abil­ity. In your work, you are practical and persistent. You are a doer who does not waste precious time. You enjoy periods of solitude to read, think, explore new subjects. Possibly you carry on a large correspondence, for you write well. Travel holds fascination for you. Your lover, family, and friends take first place in your heart; you are devoted to their wants and needs. You are reticent about your feelings. Love is a deep emotion, and you don't readily speak of it. . ,

THIRD DECANATE: JANUARY 11 THROUGH JANUARY 19

Keyword: Honor

Constellation: Draco, the Dragon, the "seeing one" who guarded the Golden Apples. The Dragon symbolizes observation and in­tuition.

Planetary subruler: Mercury Mercury, planet of mental energy, adds impetus to the discipline of Saturn. You have a quick intel­lect and flexibility of character that allows you tol adapt to different people and situations. When yo . give your word you stick to it; you treat others fairly and with respect. Friends and admirers ar jdrawn to your spiritual nature. You are an ideal and a dreamer, but wheI4motivated you are alsoa indefatigable worker. Money and material com forts are important to you, and you usually quick!] spot where your best financial interests lie. You a: i a person of deep desires, though this may not! apparent on the surface. Life is often marked by struggle to fulfill your inner needs.

Cusp

What Is a Cusp?

A cusp is the point at which a new astrological sign begins. * Thus, the "cusp of Aries" means the point at which Aries begins. (The word comes from the Latin word cuspis, meaning "point.") When someone speaks of being "born on the cusp," he or she is referring to a birth time at or near the beginning or the end of an astrological sign. For example, if you were born on July 23, you were born on the cusp of Leo, the sign that begins on July 23. Indeed, depending on what year you were born, your birth time might even be in the last degree of Cancer. The Sun does not move into a new sign at exactly the same moment each year, and the dates for the different Sun signs, may vary by a day or so. Even if the Sun were moving into Leo on that day, what time of day did that happen? Were you born while the Sun was still in Cancer or after the Sun entered into Leo? If your birthday is near the beginning or end of a sign, check the Sun Tables on p ge. 349 or an astrological ephemeris** for the year of your birth, to be absolutely certain which sign you were born in. Astrologers differ about when a person is born on the cusp. Some astrologers claim it means only within the first two days or last two days of a sign. Others say it can be as much as within the first ten days or last ten days of a sign. The consensus, however, is that you were born on the cusp if your birthday is within the firstfive days or last five days of a sign. With cusp-born people there is always the question, "What sign am I really?" They feel that they straddle the border of two different countries. To some extent, that is true. If you were cusp-born, you are under the influence of both signs. However, one sign is always a stronger influence, and that sign is almost invariably the sign that the Sun was actually in (in other words, your Sun sign). The reason I say "almost" is that in rare cases a chart may be so heavily weighted with planets in a certain sign that the person more keenly feels the influence of that specific sign. For example, I have a friend whose birthday is December 22. On the day of his birth the Sun was leaving Sagittarius and entering Capricorn. At the moment of his birth the Sun was still in Sagittarius, so that technically speaking he is a Sagittarian. However, the Sun was only two hours away from being in Capricorn, and this person has the Moon, Mercury, and Saturn all in . Capricorn. He has always felt like a Capricorn, and has always behaved as a Capricorn. } This, obviously, is an unusual case. Generally, the Sun is the most powerful planetary influence Jin a chart. Even if you were born with the Sun on the very tip of the first or last degree of a sign, that sign is your Sun sign, and that is the sign you will most feel like. . However, the influence of the approaching sign or of the signjust ending is present, and you will iprobably sense that mixture in yourself. If you are cusp-born, you should recognize yourself in :one of the following descriptions.

The Cusps of Capricorn

BORN DECEMBER 22 THROUGH DECEMBER 26You are Capricorn with Sagittarius tendencies. Underneath your practical and sometimes unemo­tional approach, you have a kind and loving heart. People instinctively rely on your integrity. You do not betray their confidences and are a sympathetic listener. There is an adventurous quality to you; you like to travel and to explore new places and ideas. Even though you are conservative and cau­tious in your judgments, you are always willing to examine another point of view. You often pick up unspoken signals from others because of your keen sensitivity.

BORN JANUARY 15 THROUGH JANUARY 19You are Capricorn with Aquarius tendencies. You are a deep person who possesses insight and vision, but you are also generous, fun-loving, and like to be in the company of people. You enjoy entertaining and the «good life," and may be known as an excellent host or hostess. Success is likely working with the public. In general, you look on the positive side, but when things go wrong you are able to see only the negative. Your loyalty is. unshakable and you are lways ready to hel someone you love. In romance you tend to settle for less than you deserve.

PART OF THE BODY RULED BY CAPRICORN

The sign of Capricorn rules the bones,joints, knees, and teeth. Capricorns are known for their beautiful bone structure and stately carriage. Capricorn women often have a striking angular beauty, especially in their facial bones, which makes them very photogenic. Both men and women have strong constitutions, vigor­ous and enduring, capable of withstanding stress and illness. Their health seems to get better as they get older. Along with Leo and Sagittarius, Capri­learn is noted for its longevity. Capricorn's bones, joints, and knees, however, are vulnerable to accidents, fractures, bumps, ibruises, and cuts. The knees tire more easily than other parts of the body. Many Capricorns com­plain of a bothersome trick knee and of bone aches :throughout the body. Chief dangers to Capricorn are rheumatism, arthritis, neuralgia, stiff joints, and orthopedic problems. Capricorn's ruling planet Saturn holds sway over the gall bladder, spleen, bones, skin, and leeth. Capricorns usually have good-looking teeth, ,but they require a great deal of care and dentistry. The skin tends to be dry and sensitive. Capricorn people are inclined to be introspec­.ive, moody and depressed. III health and indefina­ ,Ie aches and pains can be brought on by their negative emotions. Worry drains their energy and spirits. Capricorns tend to have trouble with the 'demon drink.

DlET AND HEALTH TIPS FOR CAPRICORN

A diet high in protein and calcium is a must for .Capricorn in order to keep the bones, skin and 'teeth in prime condition. Capricorns tend to do things in excess. They overwork, skip meals, then eat too much at one time. They should go easy on the highly seasoned and spicy food they are fond of, for it causes intes­tinal upsets. Gloomy Capricorns often seek solace in alcohol, which they do not handle well. Capricorn's cell salt is calcium phosphate, which is the most important element in bone formation and composition of the skeleton. Lack of calcium phosphate causes rickets, misshapen bones, spinal curvature, teeth disorders, and pains in the joints. Foods rich in this mineral which Capricorns need are oranges, lemons, figs, celery, cabbage, kale, dandelion greens, spinach, broccoli, corn, peas, potatoes, walnuts, almonds, whole wheat, oats, and brown rice. Capricorns should include in their diet every day a fresh raw salad, fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein, fish, eggs, whole-grain breads. They need lots of calcium food, such as cheese, buttermilk, yogurt. Capricorns tend to get into a rut about food likes and dislikes, and often eat the same things every day. They should try to vary their diet with different vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. They are bothered by dry itchy skin, especially in wintertime. Oils from apricots, sesame, and al­mond are soothing and moisturizing, and drinking plenty of water will keep the skin clear and plump. Eating chocolate and r fined sugar is bad for Capricorn's skin. They should never overdo when sunbathing, for their skin will quickly take on the patina of old cracked leather. Other tips for Capricorn: They :;hould keep warm and wrapped up in cold, damp weather. If they surround themselves with color, flowers, soothing music, and pleasant people, their mood should lighten. They should strive for good pos­ture, sit up straight, and loosen their gait. Warm baths, moderate exercise, and long walks in the country are very relaxing for Capricorn.

CAPRICORN'S EROGENOUS ZONE

The special erotic area for Capricorn is the knees. Capricorn's slumbering passions are in­ staIitly awakened if you gently brush, stroke, fon­dle, or kiss the area around the knees. Either male or female Capricorn will be sexually stimulated by a sensual massage that starts in the small of the lower back. Use your fingertips or fingernails, and stroke lightly, just touching the skin. Make long strokes from the lower back, down along the buttocks, the backs of the thighs, and onto the backs of the knees. Return the same way, but this time shorten the stroke. Keep short­ening your feather-light strokes until they are con­centrated around the back of the knees. A varia­tion would be to use your tongue and lips in slow short circles on the skin around the knees. The effect on Capricorn is volcanic!
this is a bit about the history and about capricorns.

Answer 2

Capricorns are often mistaken as icy, but are actually quite introverted and shy. They are creatures ruled by logic and order and will often spend so long pondering over what they should do that the moment passes them by. They are much, much more sensitive than many presume - whilst they find talking about feelings awkward, this is because a Capricorn hates to seem out of control and seeks harmony and stability in life.
Often ambitious, they are hardworking and easily led by money and power whilst also being generous and steadfastly loyal. Capricorn is a trusted advisor and loves to be needed but will not allow their logic to be challenged. Honest to a fault, they live in fear of letting the side down and are always harder on themselves than any other critic.
Capricorns are complex characters and will be the quiet ones in the corner, weighing everyone else up but once they have warmed up they have a fantastic sense of humour and are very quick-witted. Once you truly get to know a Capricorn consider yourself honoured - they are not prone to opening their hearts without being sure they can trust you. Capricorns are often involved in things you might assume they were too sensible or straight-laced to try: apparantly they can become fascinated by the occult and have a pretty kinky side, too! Capricorns are said to become more youthful with age in looks and character but become troubled by problems in the joints and bones. It is fitting then that they should have some very interesting (but well-hidden) skeletons in the closet...even Capricorn isn't perfect after all!

Answer 3

Capricorn are supposed to be very conservative and practical. Famous capricorns include David Bowie, Martin Luther King Jr., and Val Kilmer among many others. I've also heard that Satan is a Capricorn, but I can't back that up.

A typical Capricorn (I'm one as well) is very adamant about what they love and believe in. They have very dry senses of humor, they do love to make people around them feel comfortable, and to make them laugh,but they usually approach people they don't know in a business( dry ) manner. Capricorns are hard to know, because we don't wear our hearts on our shoulders, but when we love, we love hard. Capricorns love to give advise, even if we're not asked for it. People mistake us for having attitudes, but it's that we don't trust easily and we are very serious throughout life. We are dependable friends, and we always put our all into something we want to accomplish.

Answer 6

I am a Cap and a very typical one, very good with money I work hard. We are very loyal until you cross us, we can keep a grudge. We don't have patience for people with no common sense & we don't like weak people, we don't tolerate them much, because we are so strong.
If you are religious & believe that Jesus was born on Dec 25 well that makes him a Capricorn. So if being a Capricorn is good enough for him it's good enough for me ..

Answer 7

It means someone is taking astrology a bit too seriously.

It's absolute rubbish with no meaning.

I am a Virgo. Which means what? Whatever the astrologer wants it to mean.

Next you will be reading the fortune cookie and taking it's advice. After all, you can trust what a cookie says, can't you? It's a Chinese custom isn't it?

Nah. They don't have fortune cookies in China. That custom was developed in America.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortune_cookie

Astrology is similarly full of sh*t. Try Feng Shui, it might help your energy flow better.

Answer 10

I must say Marina understand Capricorns very well. We're not mean. We really are sensitive instead of not caring. It just something we prefer not to let pple know about since we like to have our guards up so as not to get hurt easily. But the contradiction is that although we care, we won't let it affect us too much and continue our way of doing things. I have many friends but really only am close to a few. We have a sense of humour with everyone but the pple who'll know us well are those who care to stick around and who are able to tolerate different sides of us. The ones who stick around and can convince us (repeatedly because we are somewhat insecure, i do say so myself lol) of their loyalty and love for us will really really be appreciated =)

Answer 11

I'm making good profit with penny stock. Check here http://trade-pennystock.checkhere.info

Many new investors are lured to the appeal of a penny stock due to the low price and potential for rapid growth which may be as high as several hundred percent in a few days. Similarly, severe loss can occur and many penny stocks lose all of their value in the long term. Accordingly, the SEC warns that penny stocks are high risk investments and new investors should be aware of the risks involved but you can even make very big money. These risks include limited liquidity, lack of financial reporting, and fraud. A penny stock is a common stock that trades for less than $5 a share. While penny stocks generally are quoted over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets, they may also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, penny stocks include the securities of certain private companies with no active trading market. Although a penny stock is said to be "thinly traded," share volumes traded daily can be in the hundreds of millions for a sub-penny stock. Legitimate information on penny stock companies can be difficult to find and a stock can be easily manipulated.
