The Capricorn Horoscope
Our delineation of the Capricorn horoscope follows a very logical method, based on ancient basic and archetypal principles. It's NOT about stereotypes.
Every zodiac sign is the result of the so-called Quadruplicities or Modes (Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable signs) and Triplicities (related to the four elements: Fire, Air, Water and Earth).
The Capricorn horoscope is based on the Cardinal Earth energies:
- The Cardinal principle is about acting (doing) and urges. It implies initiating activity and executing power. Cardinal is changing, disturbing and unsettling. Cardinals are the "do-ers" and initiators.
- The Earth principle is about material, tangible things. It's the solid-state and always very condense. It's cold and heavy. It wants to retain in a contracted manner.
Blending cardinal air into something tangible or material, you get the keyword of "the mountain."
The main characteristics of the Sun (representing your self-expressing life force) in the cardinal earth sign Capricorn are:
- always want to climb higher and higher, to the top in whatever job or field. This causes them to often surpass themselves -- not always in a positive and/or healthy way.
- ambitious; wants to be in the highest position (literally or figuratively) (compare this with Aries who wants to be the first)
- sometimes humorless or a dry sense of humor
- emotionally detached, impersonal and formal
- strategical and business-minded
- interest in matters of money and insurances
- interest in political matters and our society
- responsible but tends not to bond easily
- needs to express oneself factually and authoritative
- sets limits (to others) to be in control and to feel secure (see the next bullets); restrictive and rigid
- censorship
- always wants to feel secure
- always has something to do with "locks" (locked doors, locking up rooms...) and/or feelings of (in)security
- always mind the (unwritten or unspoken) strings attached!
Depending on your birth date, the Capricorn horoscope divides into the following three decanates:
