Capricorn

Capricorn is very conservative, which is a general characteristic of the earth element. It works within the framework, so even though he is constantly in action, he rarely jumps out of the beaten track. This idea is that order in the universe is immutable and eternal. He lives in the present, but in many cases, he acts as Cancer who bases his basic ideas on antiquity. Capricorn knows that acquiring every new ability is very difficult, that it is much easier to continue with existing forms than to invent new ones, and that it is much easier to obey authority than to prove some of your own rules.

The energy that Capricorn possesses is enormous, but he will not waste any of it, as the Saturnian influence makes him a stronghold of time. It is much less difficult for him to work within the limits of the environment than to strive to change or overcome it. He is very ambitious. His path is constant climbing, but he does it conventionally. He knows how much clutter and confusion the slightest break in routine creates. He is very meticulous in observing external forms.

 Imagine him in the office. He will not seek promotion at the expense of everyone else. He is a man who is not a minute late in 50 years, who does not make a mistake in the budget even for a cent, and who is always there when he is needed with the information necessary at that moment. He is persistent, and every capacity in him is dedicated to the task he performs. He persistently continues with the set task, he never thinks about the goal itself, he considers the goal a logical consequence of all the previous steps towards it. Sometimes he seems to forget that life is full of opportunities and adventures, so he despises all such coincidences. There is a lack of understanding in his mind for those influences from other planes that give diversity to life. The mind of the average German professor is like this. Such limited worldviews, combined with extreme commitment, are of the greatest benefit to Capricorn in his chosen career. There is no dreamy vision that would distract him, pleasures do not attract him as much as other people. Their rhythm of work seems assigned to them. They do not complain but continue, following their path with incomparable perseverance.

It is rare to come across an imaginative Capricorn. Egocentric and complete in its bed, it never tends to flood its shores, or even to think that those shores exist. One might think that some paths are a priori difficult to follow without the necessary imagination, but this is not the case. Take, for example, Swami Vivekananda, whose chosen path was spirituality, one of the most difficult paths that man can tread. However, despite his incredible learning, despite his extraordinary achievement in the things he set out on, we find little originality in his works. His teachings did not give new insights, he is a perfect classic, but he did not say anything that the seven rishis did not do before him.

The special disadvantage of this sign is that it does not break down obstacles like Taurus, beat them in battle as a Leo, destroy them as Scorpio, or turn them to his advantage like Libra. He just skips them, so this detachment makes him insensitive.

When it comes to money, this native is loyal. This is the best man you can entrust with money for a safe investment; he will take care of it intelligently and carefully; will make a bill up to a cent, and avoid some risk with it. If it is not elevated by the good virtues of the planets, these characteristics can often lead to stinginess. Mazarin is such a clear example. In emergencies when he needed loyalty and devotion more than anything else at the time, he would despise his followers by giving them insignificant rewards, for the tremendous services they had rendered him.
