Capricorn Considerations

Some Capricorn Considerations:

Capricorn is a Cardinal sign. They will work hard to accomplish something. It is the beginning of the year. Great effort and caution are needed most at the beginning of things. This is a serious sign that will aspire to put their plans in motion. They will have a strong sense of the obstacles before them. They will exercise caution and restraint in their actions. They are both assertive and defensive. They should not be underestimated. They command respect.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn.

The planet of self-discipline and responsibility.

This is the beginning of winter.

Life is dark and cold. It is a difficult time.

Nothing comes easily.

Hard work and disciplined effort are needed.

One must protect what one has and be patient about what one wants.

There will be times when one must do without!

Working hard and keeping complaints to oneself will win respect.

Personal restraint is required.

This is the trigram of the Arousing Force.

Out of darkness, light returns.

Out of great stillness, movement begins.

Out of great silence, a sound is heard.

Out of deep meditation, a thought arises.

Light, movement, sound and shock!

All are sources of stimulation and shock.

On the Eight-fold Path this is the challenge of Right Speech.

For Right Speech one must abstain from telling lies.

One must also abstain from back-biting, slander

And talk that might bring about hatred, enmity

Or disunity among individuals or groups of people.

One must avoid language that is harsh, rude, malicious or abusive.

One must not indulge in idle, useless, foolish babble and gossip.
