Many Capricorns have the idea that setting goals and then sticking with them is powerful—it indicates you have a focus. And while sometimes that’s true, it is also important to recognize that reviewing and altering those goals isn’t weak, it is actually a brilliant idea.
However I may view them, no single one of life’s joys is better than another
Setting goals and standards for yourself is important for every Capricorn. Being ruled by the planet of order, Saturn, it is vital that you know where you stand, in your life, with others, in your role with family or at work, and even more, in terms of your own goals, objectives, and ideals. But there is another important question, and that is: whose values will you allow to shape your own? Normally, your parents, your background, your community, or your culture will shape those.
But as life has moved on, you may not have given as much thought to who or what is influencing your thinking, values, and priorities. There is plenty to focus on, but are you allowing others’ passions to shape yours, personally, professionally, or in terms of a cause that is meaningful to you? Each leads to the question: do these activities link with your own personal goals and values?
As a Capricorn, and as somebody who thrives on having a “mission”—something you can help out with, or a challenge you can meet—it’s vital for you to review your mission from time to time. The trick is discovering whether what you’re doing means as much as it once did, or possibly needs to grow along with you. As your mission for yourself and the world around you changes, it may be that commitment will change as well.
The keyword here is “inspire.” That’s partly about who is inspiring you. But, also, who you’re inspiring with your words and action. You may not think about this, but as you do, you’ll realize why certain situations are shifting and begin to discuss new ideas with those around you. And, as you do, you’ll find you’re the one who’s doing the inspiring.
As a Capricorn, you take a certain pleasure in being disciplined, and, in fact, you can get a bit addicted to them simply because they give order to your life. However, one of the themes for you is to learn to ease up on them. Make those activities of health and well-being emphasize the well-being most of all.

Somebody seems determined to discuss personal matters that really aren’t their business. Your reluctance to get involved is understandable, yet you’re urged to make an exception here. The insights that emerge could make a huge difference, and at a time when your guidance would be especially valuable.
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.
