The most important question to ask yourself regularly is when you last set your goals and whether it’s time to review them. If you’ve been sticking with goals that have been around a long time, it may be time to get a new piece of paper and a new set of goals as well.
Calculating the time tasks will require takes longer than simply tackling them
Of course, celebrating the New Year and a new life is wonderful, and those Capricorns born on this date often benefit from that sense of celebration and even the resulting resolutions.
But most of all, it is important to recognize that this variety of Capricorn “to-do” list can become restrictive and prevent you from responding to the exciting, if unexpected, events that come your way. However intriguing ideas or offers are, you like to know what you are getting involved in.
Yet when you encounter individuals who are offering things that are beyond anything you know—or opportunities that will take you into new territory in terms of activity, or perhaps mean you’d have to go someplace unfamiliar or learn something new—you’ll think about it. Possibly for so long that it’s no longer feasible, or, alternatively, you decide that you need to study in order to do it.
The trick to overcoming this resistance to the new and unfamiliar is to recognize that, actually, these activities constitute a variety of vitamins for you. That is, people who you don’t know, who draw you into new territory, or activities that force you to learn new things, are all adding to your life and to your mind and to your future. And these, in turn, spur you on to greater growth and discovery.
Every Capricorn needs people around them they can trust. This isn’t easy. In some cases, family will do it; you’ve known them and you trust them. But in other cases, it is those who you draw to you. Learning to do that, learning to build your own family of friends and supporters, can be one of life’s greatest skills.
Every once in a while, you say to yourself, “I really must relax.” And you mean it, but you don’t quite know how to do it, simply because you’re probably thinking of a very sophisticated course of meditation or going to a spa. But there is a very simple way to relax, and that is to stop your body and your mind, even if it’s only for 10 minutes. The technique? Sit down quietly, then breathe.
The most important question to ask yourself regularly is when you last set your goals and whether it’s time to review them. If you’ve been sticking with goals that have been around a long time, it may be time to get a new piece of paper and a new set of goals as well.
For ages, you’ve been trying to find a way around a tricky obstacle and form a rather exciting plan. Yet this may be preventing you from getting more involved. Straightforward as this seems, the actual situation is fraught with issues that could turn into serious problems, possibly overnight.
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.
