The dream of lifelong achievements versus everyday goals is something to think about, especially for you as a Capricorn. Often, those goals will dominate your thinking and the choices you make. The fact is, you are only alive in the present, and while achieving those goals in the future may be wonderful, your joy in this day is what is most important.
Taking chances is profitable; you learn from the outcome, whatever it is
True, being able to cross tasks off your list of things to do is both an achievement and satisfying. But whatever kind of happiness this brings to you, as a Capricorn, it is worth noting there are other, equally rewarding activities, and each brings its own variety of satisfaction and achievement, often in ways you wouldn’t expect. That’s the reason it is vital you think about and recognize as well.
What’s more, it offers an opportunity to focus on a side of your Capricorn nature that is very different from the outer world—the tangible world of duty, action, and achievement that is so important to you. That portion of your nature is what might be called your “inner world”: that is, what makes you feel worthwhile, what brings you feelings of accomplishment, and what gives you a sense of inner peace.
While this variety of inner peace is unlikely to have been taught in school, achieving a balance between the two—between the outer and inner worlds—isn’t just important, it will enhance your view of life. It will inspire you.
Even better, this will touch those around you—family and friends, possibly colleagues, and perhaps even the world around you. Make achieving that balance your primary goal and even better, the rest will fall into place almost magically.
You are an expert at organizing your own life and the world around you. Not everybody cares or, in fact, knows about that powerful but very private inner world that is so important. Spotting those who do and making them an important part of your life is one of the most significant steps toward creating that balance, the ongoing balance that will enhance the rest of your life.
Often, people speak of a battle for well-being, which may sound like fun and makes it exciting. Yet is that actually the way you want to approach your body? You can be kind to it and perhaps love it into well-being. That might be a better approach to take.
The dream of lifelong achievements versus everyday goals is something to think about, especially for you as a Capricorn. Often, those goals will dominate your thinking and the choices you make. The fact is, you are only alive in the present, and while achieving those goals in the future may be wonderful, your joy in this day is what is most important.
Ordinarily, you’d steer clear of others’ battles, mostly because you learned long ago how easy it is to get caught in the middle of these. However, you may want to keep an eye on what they organize, what they’re doing, and how it could influence your existing arrangements or plans for the future.
Capricorn: DECEMBER 21 – JANUARY 19
Ruler: Saturn
Symbol: The Goat
Element: Earth
Flower: Pansy
As a practical earth sign, whose symbol is the horned goat, you can achieve the impossible, in the form of ascending a mountain, or attaining an ambition. Being ruled by hardy Saturn, you’re discreet about your many kindnesses, but glory in your tough exterior. Your flower is the pansy; your plants are hemp and ivy; your trees, elm and yew. Your stones are symbolic of winter’s dark days—black pearls, black diamonds, and jet.
