SUN in CAPRICORN
Capricorn is the original sign of the yuppie. Capricorn is also ruled by Saturn, the Lord of Karma. A Capricorn seeks control through authority -- everything is okay as long as they are in charge. A Capricorn want to be respected. One problem: Capricorn's are guilty of making or enforcing rules they don't follow. Their ambition is not clouded by their pragmatism. Capricorn's aspire to power and authority, and they can relentlessly pursue this power with an aggressive and competitive zeal. On the flip side, a Capricorn can be defensive due to a lack of self-confidence. This will gradually slip away with time. A Capricorn will display unusual maturity when young but a remarkable youthfulness when old. They can work hard to gain something, but they become indolent if their goals cannot be achieved. Although Capricorn's have a wonderful and wry sense of humor, they cannot tolerate being teased. They need structure and tradition when young. Capricorn's are well-suited to be a good builder, engineer, politician, or executive. Although they are a good team player, they are better (or would be) as a team manager. They are probably interested in the martial arts and collecting guns, weapons or other symbols of authority. No famous musicians were Capricorn's (just kidding!)
Worst of all, a Capricorn will have a propensity for worry. In fact, most prison guards are Capricorn. (Just kidding!)
But one recent comedian is a Cappy: the weird and wacky Jim Carrey. In fact, a number of great performers have been Cappies: (this list was submitted by a Cappy) Isaac Asimov, Mel Gibson, Steve Allen, Muhammad Ali, Humphrey Bogart, Pablo Casals, Al Capone, Marlene Dietrich, John Denver, Federico Fellini, Benjamin Franklin, Eydie Gorme, Ava Gardner, James Earl Jones, Diane Keaton, Danny Kaye, Martin Luther King, Gen Robert E. Lee, Henry Miller, Ethel Merman, Richard Nixon, Sir Isaac Newton, Edgar Allan Poe, Roy Rogers, Helena Rubenstein, Rod Serling, Anwar el-Sadat, Danny Thomas, Woodrow Wilson, Jany Wyman, Cleopatra, and the ultimate Cappy -- Darth Vader (Star Wars).
Your best bet for listening to something is Rachmaninov's "Symphony No. 2," and Beethoven's "String Quartet, Op. 132." Worst of all, you have a propensity for worry. In fact, most prison guards are Capricorn. I hope this doesn't worry you.
Grocery store: Food shopping with a Capricorn is an experience that's unlike any other sign the zodiac. There's a utilitarian side to the event to begin with, but then, like any good Capricorn, there is also a certain flair which is required. It's like mixing and matching both super cheap generic brand groceries with special, name - brand extra deluxe goodies. To an outside observer, that would be a non - Capricorn, the rhythm and the reason for what is name brand and what is cheap would not make sense, period. But to the Capricorn, there are certain items where the name brand can actually affect the flavor, and this shows up in their shopping cart. The Capricorn is not always an expert, but it's is always best to let them lead the way.
Brick wall: When a Capricorn is faced with an obstacle, a brick wall in his path, there is only one answer, one solution to getting through this wall, and that would be worry. It's not like all Capricorn's have a propensity for worry, but the thought of an immovable object in front of them worries them to begin with, and then, under the close Capricorn scrutiny, the brick wall will eventually succumb to the fevered and furrowed brow of the Cap. This ability to worry is inherent, and in some circles, this worry feature is attributed to Saturn. Whether it's really Saturn's fault, or some other quirk in the sky, the way a Cap deals with problems is worrying about it untilk they arrive at a solution.
Body part: Knees.
