Characteristics of Capricorn (22 December to 21 January)
Capricorn the goat will be found quietly and patiently scaling the mountainside. Whilst other more flashy people make more noise and fuss and seem to be making all the running, you will merge into the crowd, calmly watching and waiting. You will win in the end. You are the ultimate social climber. You study those who you perceive to be socially superior and you know you will be emulating them soon. You give off an attitude of serious melancholy, and impose stern discipline on yourself along with self-denial. Your gentleness flatters and persuades. Although others may judge you to be soft, you can be very tough, persistent and relentless inside. You steadily follow an upward path. You respect authority and tradition and study these things intently as you court success in your chosen medium. Some may think you snobbish and stuffy, but your gaze is dead ahead and your feet - like the sure-footed mountain goat of our analogy, are firmly planted on the ground. You are embarrassed by public scenes and raw uncontrolled passion, because social acceptance is so important to you. Although you can be romantic you don't believe in letting your heart rule your head and being blinded by emotion. You are dutiful and responsible, and security, especially in old age, is never far from your thoughts. You are kindly but can be stern. You are wise and cautious. Your steady endurance gives you fantastic survival potential.
Capricorn is the 10th sign of the zodiac is concerned with:
* practicality, realism, hard work accomplishments
* planning, determination, persistence, success
* high status, good quality, reputation
* responsibility, difficulties, problems
* paternalism, authority, discipline
* money, wealth, long-term projects
* wisdom, loyalty, sensitivity to beauty
Spiritual focus is:
* To realize that we are in charge of creating our reality through our thoughts and our will.
* To consciously direct our will to align with the natural laws of karma and accountability.
* To release blame and accept responsibility for our life. This process is one of "spiritual maturing" and will bring a sense of order and purpose to our lives. This being the sign associated with the birth of Jesus reminds us that humility and compassion are keys to learning these lessons.

The sure-footed Mountain Goat can climb to higher altitudes than any other mammal. And you sure-footed Capricorns are also well-suited for climbing. Capricorn sets high goals for yourself and then you overcome whatever obstacles may appear between you and the top of your personal mountain. As Capricorn climbs the ladder of success, your ambition pushes you forward. Status can be important to Capricorn and often, at the top of your game, you gain personal satisfaction by knowing that others respect you for what you have accomplished.
Capricorn can dance out on the edge of a cliff, but will never fall. Why? Stability plays an important role, but so does practice. As a typical Capricorn, you may appear reckless, but chances are that your actions will have been very well planned, and probably also rehearsed. Capricorn is always calculating what will happen if you do something. You Capricorns are energetically conservative, only expending enough to get you to where you want to be. No silly impulsive actions for you. This is your best insurance to get to the top of the mountain.
The Capricorn motto might be Milton Berle's "If opportunity doesn't knock, then build a door." But this doesn't mean that if there are no mountains to climb that you must build the mountain. For you, hardships can be your path to fulfillment, but for the sake of happiness, it would be good for you to learn to appreciate what you have, instead of always striving to reach the next plateau.
Element: Earth
Earth signs are naturally practical. In this lifetime we are bound to Earth. There is no escaping the reality around us. The Earth is about as real as it gets; it can be felt, weighed and it has substance. Accordingly, the earth signs base their life on what is real, not what is imagined. Sensation is valued over thoughts or feelings. Earth signs live with their feet on the ground. Others seek their advice because of their basic sensibility. For earth signs, seeing is believing.
The earth of Capricorn is that of foundation and structure. It's about having a stable base so we don't build our life on shifting sand. Even the great mountains earth, and if it weren't for their foundational integrity, we couldn't climb upon them.
Tenth House: Career
The Tenth House is the House of the Father. It is where we pursue the outer world, which is often related to our career. This isn't about our personality. It's about how the outer world sees us through the role we play in it. It is here, in the Tenth House, that we look to find out about status and recognition.
Key Planet: Saturn
Saturn, the ringed planet, is etymologically tied to the word "Satan." But, as demonstrated in the Tarot, the "Devil Card" is not a bad card. It's only difficult if we've made the deal with the devil that we believe the physical world is all there is. Saturn is the planet of boundaries and limitations. If we succumb to those limitations, we are doomed to live within the laws of cause and effect. But if we do the hard work of spiritual practice, we can be rewarded by the wisdom that exists beyond the material plane. As the key planet for Capricorn, Saturn does symbolize that we get what we deserve. Take shortcuts in life and we'll meet up with problems later on. But if we do things with integrity, then the rewards will be ours.
Capricorn Greatest Strength: Your ability to overcome obstacles
Capricorn Possible Weakness: Too much work and not enough play
