Description:
|
| That Capricorn is a cardinal sign may seem a oxymoron. After all what gets
started in the dead of Winter? Well if you haven't figured it out yet, cardinal signs
always begin a season, Capricorn occurring at the Winter Solstice. The soil revitalizes, a
hidden process. Beginning at the Winter solstice, daylight hours increase. The beginning
of the calendar year also falls under Capricorn. Remember too that Capricorn is an earth
sign and that we are talking about mountain-goats. As much as earth signs are about
fecundity and abundance they also relate to the structure of our planet. The rock strata,
the rising and falling mountains, all of these are of the earth. Of this Capricorn knows
much for she deals with the structure and foundations of situations. Capricorn is also
about climbing mountains of achievement, thus the mountain-goat symbology. Capricorn is
known for being conservative and reserved, but it may be better to look at her as
ambitious and thorough. |
