Secrets of Capricorn

Capricorns, the final earth sign in the zodiac, have, to put it mildly, strong spirits. In my almost ten years as a professional astrologer, I have worked with thousands of customers, and I can attest that there is something quite unique about Capricorn. Maybe it's their intrepid ambition? Their boundless tenacity? Their capacity to move forward in the midst of difficult hardship and agonizing conflict? Alternatively, perhaps it's their hidden wild side that lurks within every Capricorn and is hardly ever captured in conventional personality tests: Although not everyone gets to witness Capricorn ordering rounds of tequila, dancing on the table, and remaining out late into the morning, Capricorn's wild, rebellious nature is an advantage. The sea goat, a legendary animal with a goat's body and a fish's tail, is the symbol for Capricorn. This artwork illustrates the dual skills of Capricorn: Capricorns are adept at negotiating the worlds of the material and the emotional. They climb the steepest mountains and strengthen their psychic fortitude at the same time. Since Capricorn rules the knees, this sign has an easier time climbing. Relentless in their pursuit of their goals, Capricorns are resolved to conquer any obstacle in their path. They have long-term, overarching objectives, and they most definitely don't want to get bogged down by unnecessary or bothersome minutiae. Saturn is the planetary ruler of Capricorn. Saturn, the ringed gas giant in our far-off solar system, is a planet related to obligations, duties, regulations, and - most significantly - time. Saturn is the reason Capricorn has such a strong connection to time. To be honest, this has more existential overtones than that. Of course, it could relate to Capricorns' timeliness or calendar management. Capricorns understand that life is fleeting and that they are constantly in a race against the clock. Capricorns simply cannot slow down because they have so much they want to do and experience in this lifetime. Capricorn, a cardinal sign, is very driven to begin new endeavors and is always coming up with fresh concepts.
