The
zodiacal sign of Capricorn commences on December 21st, but for seven
days, being overlapped by the "cusp" of the previous sign,
it does not come into full power until on or about December 28th.
From this date onwards it is in full strength until January 20th
and then for seven days gradually loses its strength on account of being overlapped by the "cusp" of the incoming
sign "Aquarius". In
accordance with their symbol of the mountain goat, Capricorns have
immense organizational skills and an overwhelming desire and ability
to achieve their goals at any cost. Whatever Capricorns set out
to do will be followed through to the end despite any obstacles
encountered along the way. They are economical, frugal, cautious
and very rarely proceed without planning in advance. They are good
and loyal friends, honest, upright, and persevering to a fault without
ever complaining. These people are faithful and extremely good providers
but need secure homes to which they can always return and reflect
upon their busy lives. They are born leaders and posses great executive
abilities. Capricorns can be extremely disciplined and calculating
to the point of ruthlessness. They are very reserved and usually
speak only when they have something important to say. Some people
mistake the Capricornian reserve for coldness and insensitivity.
For Capricorns, however, it is a way to pursue their goals without
allowing extraneous emotions to stand in the way. People born in
this period have strong mental force, but they are as a rule, generally misunderstood
by others. They are independent and high-minded in all their actions
and detest being under the restraint of others. They must be leaders
in whatever they are engaged or else they are inclined to lose interest
in their work. They generally make their greatest mistake by espousing
the unpopular cause, the "under
dog" in the fight and so often make the bitterest enemies by
their actions being misunderstood. If inclined to be religious they
usually go to the extremes and become fanatical in their zeal. Difficult
aspects make them pessimistic, depressive, shy, uncommunicative and
ruthless
LOVE
LIFE
They have strange ideas of love and for this reason they are often
considered "odd" and do not fit easily with their neighbours.
Their home and family life is very often a troubled one. They feel
"lonely-hearted" and misunderstood.
MATERIAL
SUCCESS You are more
likely to acquire wealth through your own personal efforts than by
any dint of good fortune. Advantageous investments for you would be
in land or house property, the building up of factories dealing especially
in coal, lead or iron products, machinery or transport work or agriculture,
the developing of farming enterprises and all things solid and concrete.
You will experience much difficulty in obtaining money that should
be yours by right and you should never lend without security, or you
would be sure to lose.
NEGATIVE
TRAITS A Capricorn
criminal will plan all out to a nicety, keep a steady finger on the
trigger and press it after you are exactly in center of the rifle.
So thorough and ruthless will be he that he might read it all in the
morning papers while sipping his tea - without batting even an eyelid.
