Capricorn

December 22 to January 19
Sign number # 10
Ruler - Saturn
Element - Earth
Quality - Cardinal
Key words -  Ambition, conservatism
Ego - I use

     Key words prudently, calculating, capable of great diplomacy, realistic, very responsible, materialist, very often pessimistic, determined, ambitious, careful, some what snobbish always wanting the best, with one eye on  the  top  step  of the ladder.  Having patience they can show a sense of discipline,  persevering.  Over exacting, conventional, miserly mean and they really can be a wet blanket.  These people are  ambitious, always looking for a raise in pay.

They  do  not  feel they have to keep up with the people next  door  because  they  are the people next door. They usually know how to cultivate the right people to get what  they want  in life.  In their youthful years they may waste time and money, but once they reach middle age,  security  and  a bank account become immensely important.  There biggest financial weakness is holding on to a savings account  that  pays  4% interest  and making up payments at 18%.  All Capricorn have  an earthly  sensuality  but reveal it only to  a  chosen  few.  Very dominating sign.  Taurus ( materialist )  is  one  of  their favorite people. Never  impulsive and are usually more than generous if  they like  you.  The Capricorn will give if it is to their  advantage.  They must always be in charge. They are great believers in a good education, especially in middle age which prepares them for great positions  of power.  This native must believe in  power  because once he has reached a certain position in life,  he must learn to rely  on himself. He  will walk on anyone or anything to get what he wants. 

Health:
Since Saturn rules bones, the native may be susceptible to rheumatism and arthritis.   They  usually  become  stronger in their physical constitution as they get older. Most Capricorn live well into their eighties  however,  most have  a  tendency  to  have  long  illness,  not  being  able  to recuperate very well.
