| Stones of Power: For working with your personal power stones, try diamond, quartz, black obsidian, onyx, and peridot. Whether you choose to wear them to absorb their power, or learn about their properties to incorporate their lessons into your life, these stones are stones that can help you attune your natural energies. Special Color: The colors of the earth itself, dark green and brown, Capricorns with an important meeting or wanting to make a good impression should look to these colors for their clothing choice. Flowers: Although to most it doesn’t seem like a special treat, Capricorns are most charmed by the simple yet lovely flowers of carnation and ivy. Trees: Your strength is displayed here by Capricorn’s alliance with the mighty Pine, Elm and Poplar trees. Pine, long known by the lumber industry to be a quick grower that is easily worked, represents your regenerative powers. Animals: Capricorn rules the beasts of the earth with hoofs that are cloven. (Christianity has given this a negative connotation with the cloven hoof allegory with Satan.) Yet, the cloven hoofed animal is a very important part of our culture even today. (Goat’s milk sustains many young children, pork is a mainstay of many diets.) Myths and Legends: To learn more about the legends surrounding the Goat, there’s always the childhood story of Three Billy Goats Gruff. Looking at the legends surrounding such figures as Chronos, Vesta, and Pan will help you learn more about the Capricorn within. Famous People: This is a sign that there’s never a problem finding famous people in because of the Capricorn perchance for public life. These individuals give you an idea of the wide range of Capricorn creativity and success this sign can achieve. |
| Glyph description and meaning: The ancient symbol for Capricorn was a different animal than the goats that most of us are familiar with today. |
|
| The Sea-Goat was a mythical creature with the front body of a goat and the curved and entwined tail of a fish. The glyph for this sign is based on the ancient creature featuring the V of the goat’s beard, and the curved tail of a fish. The ancient symbology for the glyph is that there are two straight lines which intersect and are connected by a circle and a crescent. This symbol embodied the idea that both energy and passion can strengthen your melding of authority and responsibility. Ruling Planet: The God Saturn is not as well known today as some of the other members of the Roman Pantheon. Saturn was the god who ruled over grain, the harvest and growing thereof. A very important God in Roman Society! Hence his name graces one of the great gas giants that shine in our night sky. Saturn was considered the outermost planet of the known solar system until the last century. In astrological terms, those ruled by this sign need to be aware that Saturn is the planet of restriction, limitation and obstacles. Frustration can result if you don’t remember that Saturn’s energy also relates to personal discipline and practical application. Placement and Symbology of placement in the Zodiac: Capricorn is the tenth sign of the Zodiac, ruling over the area of Career and Success. Capricorn starts the cycle of numbers again as a prime number of 1, representing the new beginnings Capricorn is capable of. Duality: Duality in Western Astrology is much like Yin/Yang energy in the Eastern Tradition. The idea of astrological or numerical opposites came out of the Pythagorean School of Ancient Greece. Capricorn energy is receptive feminine energy. You are willing to wait and do your research, carefully watching the happenings around you. Then, after careful consideration and being receptive to input, you make your decisions. Polarity: This is the sign that is opposite the Zodiac Wheel from homey Cancer. Where Capricorn prefers the public life (although they keep much hidden) homey Cancer may well be willing to be the supportive back-up so you can pursue your public life goals! Cardinal/Mutable/Fixed: A Sign is either Cardinal, Mutable or Fixed. Capricorns are a cardinal sign. Reserved and patient, you prefer to keep your inner self to yourself, sharing it with very few. You seek security, and with your innate traits of discipline, determination and acquisitiveness (in a good way); you rarely fall short of your goals. Dominant Keywords: In our modern politically correct society the keywords “I Use” may be a little uncomfortable to hear. Don’t let it bother you. There’s nothing wrong with using appropriately. It’s abusing that crosses the line. When you go to the Park, you are “using” it. When you wear a shirt, you are “using” it. When you have a thought you are “using” your brain. So go ahead and USE away (with appropriate moral behavior), normally when you do you make it better for everyone. Most Likeable Trait: You are rock-solid steady. Whether as the sea-goat of ancient legend or as the modern goat you are someone everyone knows they can depend on. You are prepared for just about every situation because you listen. You’re quick to seize the appropriate opportunity, and your steadying influence normally makes it better for everyone. Lucky Day: Go ahead…sleep in on Saturday if that’s what you feel like doing because Saturday is your lucky day (sleep on a lucky day is said to be more beneficial). With Saturday as your lucky day, the sky’s the limit! Enjoy your Saturdays steady Capricorn. Danger: Because of your natural reserve and perchance for keeping your personal life personal, you may make people suspicious. This could deepen into hidden grudges and resentments from people because they don’t understand you. The wise Capricorn should always keep it in the back of their mind that secrets from the past can and will be used against you. Cities and Countries: Stable Capricorn is a good traveler, enjoying opportunities to meet new people and have new experiences. Visits to Oxford, Boston, Brussels, Chicago or Montreal may be the quick get-away Capricorn needs to rejuvenate. For a long term vacation consider countries such as Mexico, Bulgaria, India and ancient Afghanistan. Element: Practical and down to earth, that’s exactly what you are, an Earth sign. This is why it is so easy for you to stand strong. As a four legged animal your sign’s animal is strongly connected to the earth, whether in a pasture or field by the barn; or as a wild mountain goat scaling the heights with agility and grace. You are in your element moving on top of and among the solid stone of the earth. Metal: Lead is the metal connected to Capricorn. Vilified for its dangerous and harmful properties to humans if ingested in recent years, it is still useful in myriad ways for industrial purposes. You may not want your water pipes made with lead, but it would be difficult to solder without this essential metal. |
