Capricorns are ambitious and have a sense of purpose. Their relentless pursuit of their goals is something to behold. They approach a problem with only finding a solution as the outcome. Nothing can stop a Capricorn on a mission. Not one to take defeat, they are relentless in their goal of success. Your goals are success, money, status, position, authority and underlying all of that--- love. Being an Earth sign coupled with your sign's Cardinal quality gives you the determination and desire for leadership and power. Your ruling Planet of Saturn is the planet of limitations... and time. There is always a feeling of not having enough time. You live with the constant nagging feeling that time is running out and there is so much more you have to do and to accomplish. This gives you the superb organizational skills and patience to plan all your actions to the last detail. You show the world a face of sternness and melancholy. Saturn's children feel the weight of the world on their shoulders and take responsibility very seriously. Kind and helpful, you instinctively understand that not everyone has your patience and sense of duty and you are more than willing to help out those that struggle with the very tasks you yourself come by so easily. The Capricorn heart is greatly misunderstood -- people see them as remote--- even cold comes up when describing the Capricorn. This is definitely not the case... You have a great instinct for self preservation and you don't trust anyone else to take care of you. Yet you have a great capacity to let others lean on you. The Capricorn can meet any challenge with bravery and determination... and carry others if need be. Your number one priority is security. You tend to be somewhat materialistic, but not extravagant. As the Scorpions, you will go miles out of your way to repay a debt-- but your motivation for that is an overwhelming sense of pride. One of your less endearing traits-- your pride can get in your way quite a bit. You never forget a slight and will not ask for help, even when you really need it. You can't stand being in any body's debt. Capricorns are notorious for marrying for money and security. That's not to say you don't love... You do, and deeply. But you tend to look at life with a very pragmatic eye and you weigh all of your options before jumping into anything. You can also be a bit cold blooded about your decisions. However, in most of your relationships you will dominate your partner. When you are in power you don't feel open to another person's whims. You are the lone wolf of the Zodiac-- but you have a desperate need to be loved and appreciated. You just refuse to show anybody this, which you consider to be a weakness. Underneath the mask you wear there is another, and another, and another...Multi-faceted, it can take your partner a long time to uncover the real you. You despise vulnerability in any form-- so you bury your needs and wants -- and show the world the calm, cool, efficient face of the Capricorn. Anyone with the tenacity to stick it out and uncover the real you will find treasure beyond their greatest expectations. Your loyalty and love runs deep and if you love you never, ever cut and run when the going gets tough. ************* I'm afraid my Sagittarius was a bit over the top and needs to be re-worked...everyone that saw it was a bit shocked--and I doubt it would get left up here. So it's back to the drawing board on that one. Incidentally, in case anyone would like an astrology reading---that is my day job. Will even trade... :) M3, Wildenlander---free CasaBlanca suit from ISOP, free stairs in free stuff. Will get Sag posted as soon as I get it re-worked. :) C-YA! Laura
