The Sun in Capricorn can gift you with a tremendous desire to achieve. Your foundation is built upon perseverance and hard work to obtain material goals. In addition, tradition, logic, and practicality rule your approach. Implementing strategy and structure may come naturally to you. Therefore, bringing order to chaos may be one of your gifts.
Astrology of Capricorn:
Capricorn is an earth sign ruled by the planet Saturn. It is considered the most ambitious sign of the Zodiac. Saturn gives Capricorn help with committing to achieve. So whether your goals revolve around the home, family, education, or work, your will to succeed will likely be strong. Saturn is also responsible for teaching lessons of patience, endurance, and self-discipline.
The symbol for Capricorn is the mountain goat. Just as a goat fearlessly scales a steep mountain, Capricorn may tirelessly work towards the pinnacle of success. The more esoteric nature of Capricorn is represented by the sea goat, which has the head and body of a goat and the tail of a fish. This shows the ability of Capricorn to navigate both the physical and spiritual aspects of life.
Like all astrological signs, you can be functional or dysfunctional in the expression of Capricorn’s qualities. In fact, your “superpowers” are the abilities that come naturally to you! However, a lack of balance can lead to behavior that prevents you from being your best. These habits, much like “kryptonite”, can limit your potential.
Capricorn Superpowers:
- Your commitment is unmatched! Hard work can be very meaningful for you. If you set your mind to accomplish something, you will rarely take it lightly.
- Rules and organization are important to you. Implementing structure may be your hidden superpower.
- Patience is a virtue! You may have the inner strength to endure temporary hardship in favor of long-term rewards.
- Capricorn has the potential to thrive in a professional or business setting. As a result, you could make an excellent manager or supervisor.
- You may have a strong connection to the Earth. A flower or vegetable garden may be your own personal sanctuary. Working in the dirt can help you to feel more “grounded” in your energy.
- Deep, intuitive perception combined with your strategic foresight can help you navigate your way to success.
Capricorn Kryptonite:
- Having high expectations can lead you to be too hard on yourself and others. Constantly striving for perfection can lead to feelings of discouragement. Instead, think of failure as an opportunity to grow stronger and better.
- You may have a very strong work ethic. Just make sure that you balance work with play. Exercise and relaxation are essential.
- Lighten up, buttercup! Saturn can make Capricorn seem rather serious. In fact, it is said that Capricorn ages backwards and grows more light-hearted with age. In any case, remember that it’s ok to laugh. You may have a great sense of humor that is waiting to come out.
- As a Capricorn, you tend to be very realistic. However, you can be pessimistic if you are out of balance. Focusing on negatives will cause you to forget about the good in life.
- Give special attention to your knee joints, teeth, and skin. In addition, remember to use a high grade sunscreen while enjoying the Sun.
Capricorn Life Lessons:
- Never measure your level of success according to society’s standards. Follow your heart and your passion. Wherever you are led, be the best that you can be!
- Capricorn must learn to balance the physical and emotional aspects of life. It’s important that you allow yourself to truly be in touch with your feelings. Affirm to yourself, “It is safe for me to explore and acknowledge my emotions.”
- It’s ok to ask for help! You may be extremely self-sufficient. Asking others for help may be difficult. You might even believe that life is hard. However, it may be helpful to remember that needing others doesn’t make you a failure. You don’t have to do everything by yourself. It’s ok to depend on others from time to time.
- In your quest for success, make sure that you truly honor those that you meet along your path. If out of balance, Capricorn may see people as stepping stones that can be used to get from one level to another. Make sure that your goals are for the greater good.
- Honor your spiritual nature. You have the ability to perceive information from the physical and the spiritual world. Even though you enjoy the practical side of life, don’t forget to also tap into your spiritual nature. Spiritual growth can help you to reach tangible achievements.
