Capricorn

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn (Kronos), the ruler of the Titans, Zeus’s father and the god of time as it affects the course of human life. He was the king of the gods before Zeus.
Key Words: Authoritative, provider, responsible, cynical, severe, traditional, cautious, dutiful, pessimistic, serious, self-controlled, controlling, determined. Father/Son polarity.

As we become progressively more socialized, the beliefs and philosophies developed in the sign of Sagittarius need to be linked to society as a whole. We are individuals living and working together, and this requires not only guidelines for social behavior, rules and authority, but a maturity to live authentically and responsibly within this framework, Personal responsibility comes from understanding that for every action there is a reaction.

Capricorn is the Father. Most born with this sun sign have an intense or complicated relationship with their father and in the world today, “Father Knows Best” is a strong archetype. The learning is to find your internal authority, strength, stability, control, will, from within. In other words, to become the father yourself.

The symbol is a sea goat with the front half of the body a goat and the back half what looks like a combination of a tail and serpent. Like this goat, this sign is very mysterious, much more to it than meets the eye. Yes, there is the worldly success and materialism, but there is also the connection to the wisdom, secrets and deep knowledge that is primordial, like the ocean. Capricorn can live in both realities, with the highest destiny to come down from the top of the mountain to support the rest of us. They can also deal with whatever hand they are dealt, which can be a harsh one.
