Although I don’t really believe in astrological signs that much, I find that I match the following description from the Capricorn reading I have.
I have been doing a lot of soul searching into who I am and each time I write something out it always seems to match some type of astrological reading for a Capricorn. What can I say…. I guess there is something to these things after all. Except for one area, and that is in the Money and Riches part. I am not high on worshiping Money since I feel that it makes people fake to who they really are. I won’t turn down money but I will not work for the all mighty dollar. On this value I work the hardest to stay true to since I have lost a lot of friends to long hours at work. Money can’t buy true friendship. Enough said. J And now on to the real reading into who I am.
I have edited some of the following so it will key on some topics that strike a high note with me.
After seeing this, I almost fainted because it truly matches key things that I love and honor. Bold sections match my thoughts right on the head.
"The Sea-Goat is a mythological figure symbolizing the dual nature of Capricorn. It alludes to the evolution of spirit from the sea of the collective unconscious to physical materialization and embodiment on earth. If you've retained the sympathetic nature of your fish-self, you'll eventually rise to serve humanity. But a duality of choices offers you the option of scaling the mountain to gain control over those below for selfish, personal ends. However, Capricorn represents the father figure, and unless you've been severely wounded by your own father, you probably have the welfare of the community or family at heart. You enjoy regulating and managing others' affairs and take pride in providing for, directing and protecting others."
"Your keyword is SELF-MASTERY. You strive to be in control of your life and use it as a selling point to manage or master others. Constantly aware of your actions, you present a public image of confidence, poise and virtuosity. You may cut loose occasionally, but only behind closed doors. You're practical, serious and methodical with a cautious, careful attitude, because taking chances makes you unsteady and insecure. Unfounded fears, impatience or an insatiable appetite for power could bring out your unsympathetic, dictatorial, opportunistic side."
Love [Top of Page]
"You present an appearance of dignity and protect yourself from the emotional pain of criticism by maintaining your distance and keeping your own counsel. When you're sure of a person's approval, you'll drop your guard and be very witty, dispensing humor with a provocative edge. You enjoy entertaining on a grand scale and prefer cultivating relationships
with people of high social standing who will boost your prestige. You desire a down-to-earth type who's reliable, compassionate, loyal, patient, trustworthy, industrious and shares yourmaterialambitions and love of social status. You might meet them at banks, jewelry stores, florists, art galleries, music events, fine carpet stores, cattle farms, coral reefs, cultural centers, piano stores, sculpture gardens, treasuries and among singers."
Work [Top of Page]
"You may encounter delays and problems along your career or business route, but they're part of the journey, not the destination. Be persistent and flexible, and seek positions that offer opportunities for self-expression and mobility. Consider working in writing, communications, primary education, transportation, sales or a secretarial position. Your shrewd mind and talents for organization, administration and management make you an ideal candidate for a corporate executive or political position. But you may gravitate towards the arts, specializing in design, painting, sculpture, music composition or poetry. You could successfully run a business in the fashion, beauty, art or entertainment industry."
Health [Top of Page]
"Your body's most vulnerable areas are your skin, teeth, knees, bones, joints, nerves and digestive system. You could suffer from all the ills that commonly afflict these areas, but your mind is probably the culprit behind dysfunctions. To test this theory, try to get through a day without a worry. If you add other negative mental states like despondency, depression, discontent and nervousness, you could do some major damage. Instead, choose to take deep stress-releasing breaths(I play the Didgereedoo for meditation), develop faith, incorporate cheer, embrace self-love and build self-confidence on a daily basis until it becomes a natural part of your existence. Periodically treat yourself to a vacation in a warm climate in the most lush atmosphere you can afford. You enjoy walking, dancing, cycling, table tennis and controlled breathing."

"The worker bees of the Zodiac are Capricorns, an ambitious and determined lot who are willing to do what it takes to get what they want. Sounds like this work could be fun where love is concerned, especially if the payoff is silky sweet. Much like the Sea Goat which symbolizes the members of this sign, Capricorn is forever climbing and reaching for greater heights. Where a lover is concerned, the crescendo of dating, romance and mating can be electric, indeed. The Sea Goat is also organized and is happy to craft a beautiful romance for that special someone. Social status is also important to Capricorn, so it's more than likely that the mating game will involve a healthy dose of glamour and dazzle. The one who wins their heart will be powerful in both the boardroom and the bedroom. Yes, power is a strong aphrodisiac for the sleek Sea Goat, and in return, their lover will get a most devoted and grateful partner."
Romance [Top of Page]
"The often traditional, somewhat reserved and usually cautious Sea Goat is certain to take some time to size up the stakes in the game of love. Capricorn knows what they want, and once they fix their eyes on the prize, will work hard to get it. These folks are winners and often attract the same. They also like things to be orderly and pretty, and know that they'll get much more with honey than with vinegar. Focused as they are on appearances, Capricorn is likely to lure an attractive lover and one will give them the full flush of love. Nothing could be sexier! The smart Sea Goat enjoys combining the practical and the romantic, which means that anything a deux is likely to combine both work and play. Toiling with this prancing animal, though, can be loads of fun."
Relationships [Top of Page]
"Where the "us" thing is concerned, Capricorn keeps the ground rules pretty simple
: those with money, power and the trappings of success should step up to the plate. A relationship with the Sea Goat does cut both ways, for those born under this sign will work hard at taking a union with the right person to newer and continually greater heights. If their lover can throw in a dash of excitement along the way, all the better, since the Sea Goat loves a splashy social occasion and the chance to flash some finery. A bit of solidity along with excitement and passion is just the right mix. In the ideal relationship, the Sea Goat is a wellspring of love, a lover who can give of themselves completely and protect the object of their affections. Capricorn's ideal soulmate is at the top of their game and willing to take the Sea Goat along for this stylish ride."
Love [Top of Page]
"The person out there wailing "Is that all there is?" a la Peggy Lee might well be a Capricorn, since love can at times be difficult for these folks. This measure of mistrust might well be attributed to a fear of losing onself in affairs of the heart. The good news is that with the right one, the Sea Goat positively blooms in love and is a loyal and devoted partner. When they give, their love is total. Not only that, it's also delicious for both, since Capricorns can easily engage in dreamy states where their lover's complete satisfaction is all that's on their mind. This can mean creating a beautiful home (
although it's likely to be with their lover's money) or being the perfect partner at a party. Love is a blissful state for the Sea Goat and one which they will work hard to keep."
Sexuality [Top of Page]
"Behind that cool Capricorn exterior lies a white-hot interior waiting to be discovered by a worthy lover. Splendor beneath the sheets is likely to be a straightahead affair for the Sea Goat, since this practical, earthy sort doesn't need anything flashy or fancy to get aroused. The arousal here is from being happily in love, since love and sex do go hand in hand for Capricorn. The Sea Goat is a persistent, passionate and loyal lover, so whoever is on the receiving end is in for a guaranteed good time. While Capricorns abhor being dependent on their lover, they would certainly like to be nurtured by them and exposed to new levels of delight. There is no doubting that the frisky Sea Goat can explode with an understanding, strong and libidinous partner."
What Capricorn Needs [Top of Page]
"The competitive streak in the Sea Goat means that they are attracted to a game that's fun, and also one which they can probably win. It's likely that their sights will be fixed on someone classy and sexy, and also with plenty of money and tales of success to turn heads, including theirs. The right partner is also responsive and has their feet planted firmly on the ground, as they do. If the Sea Goat's mate can both chill them out and bring them out, it could be a match made in sexy heaven. The Capricorn lover sets goals, works hard and won't be denied. They are ambitious yet devoted, an intense (often internal) flame waiting to burn for the right person. Those lucky enough to latch on will have a winner in their midst, and a fun one at that!"
After looking at this I don’t think I need to create a chart that spells out my likes and dislikes. This is who I am. I guess I have to live with it and feel proud to be a Capricorn.
