Ruling Planet - Saturn: Planet of Karma
Saturn doesn't make things easy. That's the role of the taskmaster of the Zodiac. Saturn commands us to get to work and to work hard. Discipline and responsibility are important to this Planet, yet if we're eager to conquer the world, that's okay, too.
Much like Father Time, Saturn implores us to look at the clock (its glyph, after all, is the sickle of Chronos, the God of Time). Is there time for everything we want to do, or are there limits? Those limitations are important to Saturn, and we must learn to manage them. Restrictions are the province of this Planet, as is any form of discipline or delay.
In keeping with the passage of time, Saturn governs old age along with the lessons it teaches us. Learning life's lessons is key to this Planet, in keeping with its role as teacher. The majesty of older age also brings with it a certain sense of tradition, conventionality (our learned patterns of behavior) and wisdom, and Saturn is mindful of these characteristics. This Planet applauds our perseverance and the fact that we've withstood the test of time (yes, time comes up once again). This senior status further brings with it a measure of authority, and Saturn lords over that as well.
Structure, order and the way in which we conduct our affairs are all ruled by this ringed Planet. Contraction and the reining in of assets are also important here. Lastly, Saturn, again in its role as teacher, concerns itself with karma and the lessons which past experiences might bring.
It takes Saturn 28-30 years to complete its orbit of the zodiac. It is masculine energy and rules Capricorn and Aquarius and the Tenth and Eleventh Houses.
Quality - Cardinal
A Cardinal Quality is attached to the Signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn. The Cardinal Houses are the First, Fourth, Seventh and Tenth; if an astrological chart shows a preponderance of Planets in these Houses, its energy is weighted toward cardinality.
Cardinal Signs are the initiators of the Zodiac. They are also found at key jumping-off points on the chart wheel, specifically the Ascendant, Medium Coeli (M.C. or Midheaven), Descendant and Imum Coeli (I.C.). Individuals possessing a Cardinal Quality like to get things going. They are active, quick and ambitious. Many projects get started, thanks to Cardinal initiative, although a good deal of them are never finished. That's because Cardinal folks are much fonder of starting things than finishing them.
You won't find a Cardinal person slacking off. These people are full of vim and vigor and possess a drive and ambition that is unmistakable. Enthusiasm and a zest for life fill the Cardinal individual. Some might perceive this rampant energy as domineering, and, at times, it can be. Cardinal people can easily forget about the rest of the pack when they are busily focusing on their own endeavors. Even so, their energetic spirit often wins the day.
Cardinal folks are clever and want to win. They love to start things, and whether they finish them or not, there's always a lot going on. Nay sayers who find them to be too self-centered will simply have to watch (and marvel) as they speed by!
Element - Earth
The Element of Earth is attached to the Signs Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, and it also rules the Second, Sixth and Tenth Houses. All the earthy metaphors are appropriate here: salt of the Earth, feet firmly planted on the ground and so forth. Those graced by an Earth Sign in their horoscope are practical, grounded and dependable. These folks aren't taking big risks, much preferring a sure thing.
Much like the Elements are considered the building blocks in nature, Earth Signs are the builders of the zodiac. To these Signs, creation is a tangible proposition. Whether it's building jobs or homes, or creating comfortable rooms within that home through the acquisition of possessions, Earth Signers are about all what is solid around us. Those influenced by this Element feel best once they have accumulated a goodly number of worldly possessions. The risk inherent in this, however, is that these individuals may become greedy and far too materialistic.
The Element of Earth also confers a sense of duty, responsibility and reliability to those in its sphere. These are the people you can count on to be there when you need them. Those influenced by Earth also tend toward caution and conservatism, in both desire and approach. That said, they are sensualists, certainly in that they appreciate a good meal and fine wine better than anyone else.
The logical mind of an Earth Signer is always appreciated. In keeping with this measured approach, these folks also display considerable recuperative powers. On the flip side of things, however, those supported by Earth may be so caught up in their objectives that they might overlook the feelings of others. It is a big picture, after all, but these folks may be more concerned with the finish line than the journey they are taking.
Earth Signs are dependable, practical and conservative, yet fairly materialistic. They have their feet on the ground but their eyes on the prize.
The Astrological Houses - The Tenth House: House of Social Status
The Tenth House is commonly referred to as the House of Social Status. It is about the place we have attained in our social (or work/career) grouping and in society as a whole. Think status, the authority it conveys, and consequently, the role we take in our community. It also speaks to any promotions we receive, any fame we may have or will come to have and the types of business and social activities in which we partake. With respect to achievement, this House focuses on how we see ourselves and how the community as a whole sees us (and our efforts). Through this House, we work on manifesting ourselves.
Vocation is important in the Tenth House. What role will we choose and how will we best fill it? How much do we want to achieve? Career, professional goals, ambition and motivation all come into play here. In a more practical context, employers and their rules are covered here, as are any other organizations (specifically the government) which have the ability to rule over us. Along with our life's work comes the challenge of ruling over others, although there will generally be someone who lords over us.
The prestige and social status we accrue by virtue of our careers and vocations can be seen, intangibly, in the form of ego gratification. How we manage this is addressed by the Tenth House. It may be most difficult to tire of financial rewards in our consumerist society; surprisingly, ego massage may grow old more quickly.
The question of how we will manage these gifts, and the status that comes along with them, is important to this House. Will we use our power to truly help society, or will we be willful and reckless? Not all of us are cut out for grand scale social success or equipped to help society significantly. It's also worth noting that many of our successes are achieved with the aid of society, not in a vacuum.
The relationship of the individual to a group and to society is also highlighted in the Tenth House. To improve things and to make an impact, we must feel a real kinship to the cause; a fervent resolve to change things is necessary. In this way, we will achieve that social status which is truly worthwhile. Lastly, in keeping with its focus on rulers, the Tenth House addresses the father, who is generally the more authoritarian parent.
The Tenth House is ruled by the Sign Capricorn and the Planet Saturn.
Symbol - The Sea Goat
Originally referred to as your star sign, your Sun sign represents the sign of the Zodiac that the Sun was in at the time of your birth. The Sun rules willpower and ego. It is the core of your potential and uniqueness as an individual; who you are and what you are about.
Your Sun sign represents the main direction and focus you want your life to take and your determination to accomplish what you set out to do. It represents your personal honesty and integrity, your ability to command respect and authority and your capacity to impress and influence others.
Your Preference
Books:
Serious-minded and cautious, the Goat will be a fan of fact. Books that are educational and dramatic are preferable, and if they can help you hone your career goals and skills, all the better. Dale Carnegie's, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and Norman Vincent Peale's, "The Power of Positive Thinking" have places of honor on your shelf.
Career:
Account manager, Administrator, Astronomer, Career counselor, CEO, Coach, Commissioner, Dentist, Economist, Engineer, Event planner, Executive, Geologist, Governor, Industrialist, Leader, Manager, Mason, Mayor, Mentor, Mountain climber, Office manager, Official, Operations manager, Organizer, Overseer, Physicist, Premier, President, Professional, Programmer, Proprietor, Rock climber, Real estate agent, Statesperson
Chocolates:
Seeks perfection in picking truffles of the best variety.
Food:
Capricorn, always steadfast and practical, likes simple, earthy foods. You don't want to feed the Goat anything exotic, like ginger or basil; they're happy with the plain parsley and cloves or nutmeg for flavor. They are also partial to substantial foods that will fill them up.
Movies:
Even the busy Goat has time to take a breath and watch a movie. Don't expect that your mind won't stay on business, though. Rent Office Space for a comedy with which you can identify. Either Wall Street or Secret of My Success are on their way to your VCR.
Music:
When it comes to music, the Goat sticks to what they listened to while they were growing up. Who has time to follow the bands of today? Bing Crosby and the Beach Boys may top your list, or you could still be caught up in disco fever or some other bygone era. Just be sure to do the moonwalk in the privacy of your own home.
Restaurants:
The hard-working Goat will be cautious when it comes to parting with their hard-earned pennies. A five-star restaurant that has great food at a great value is your dream dining experience, whether it exists or not is another question altogether.
Sports:
The sure-footed Goat should put that proclivity for climbing to good use in sports like rock climbing or mountaineering. Team sports like soccer will provide the competitive playing field Cap loves.
Travel:
Alaska, Australia, Cuba, Ghana, Indonesia, Italy, Seattle, Tokyo
Television:
The hardworking Capricorn takes some choice moments out of their day for a little humor. Dilbert is a favorite, with its vivid, though fanciful, portrayal of the workplace. Along the same vein, you might enjoy the daily dramas experienced by Ally McBeal. Financial news, though, is top priority.
Your Karmic Sign- Capricorn: Karmic Life Lessons
Capricorn is the worker bee of the Zodiac. It has long-term goals in mind and works toward them constantly, sometimes to the exclusion of all else. This Sign may be the most determined and ambitious of the Zodiac; as a Cardinal Earth Sign, Capricorn combines the benefits of a grounded stability with a sense of initiative and ambition to work its way steadily toward the top. The trouble is, in the process this Sign may neglect other important life pursuits such as family, relaxation, fun ... Also, this drive to reach the top may be something of an empty pursuit, since "the top" often means simply the height of public recognition. Status and recognition, in themselves, aren't reason enough to do anything; Capricorn may lack a sense of humility or of the importance of contributing to the greater good rather than to one's own resume.
Capricorns make great students and employees; their commitment to perfection ensures they'll never turn in a sloppy report. This points to another of this Sign's weaknesses, however: Its perfectionism means Capricorn is afraid to make even the smallest of mistakes. As ruled by Saturn, the Planet of Karma, Capricorn is imbued with an undue sense of responsibility and tends to be sober and earnest as a result. To many Capricorns, there's no such thing as "one little mistake"; that mistake is the very one, in their minds, that could throw things off further down the line, ruining that grand plan they've been working toward since the very beginning. This mindset produces far too much stress; Capricorn must learn to lighten up, even if only for the sake of mental health.
This same mindset may also mean that Capricorn doesn't make such a great boss. The controlling urges that lead them to strive for perfect results from themselves allow them to expect no less from others. Behind closed doors, employees may call their Capricorn boss a slave-driver! This is that Saturn energy at work again; Saturn is sometimes called the taskmaster Planet, and Capricorn takes up where Saturn leaves off. Capricorns tend to think their way is the best way and have a hard time taking tips or directions from others. Capricorns make mistakes too, of course, and rather than making a big deal of it, Cap must learn simply to say "Oops!" and move on gracefully.
The worry that one mistake, no matter how minor, could throw things off in a major way gives Capricorn a rather fatalistic viewpoint. Rather than being unforgiving and inflexible, this Sign must learn to allow room for error. Part of the problem lies in being overly concerned with what others will think of them if their errors are made known. Capricorns must realize that others don't notice their "shortcomings" nearly as much as they do themselves; in fact, others may not consider making mistakes to be a shortcoming at all. If Capricorn can abandon the rigidity in this thinking, it will be freed to relax and do some truly inspired work.
Capricorn can look to Aries to learn how to move on quickly rather than deliberating or obsessively trying to attain perfection. Cancer can teach Capricorn about valuing family and the home over work and industry, and Libra can inspire Capricorn to maintain a balanced view of mistakes and, more importantly, that sweetness is a better way to get results than cracking the whip!
Love Match - Capricorn and Capricorn (Sienna and Jude)
When two Capricorns join together in a love match, they create and contribute to a whole new, exciting element in one another's lives. The symbol of Capricorn is the Sea Goat, the animal always on an upward climb from the sea to the mountain summit. This is true of the Capricorn couple who magnifies their energy and strength and climb the staircase to a healthy, mutually beneficial relationship. But, all of this ambition and lust for life is bound to make these Goats lock horns, and a dispute between two tempers like these is not to be taken lightly.
When it comes to running a household or maintaining a healthy relationship, this couple can really take care of business. So much so, that they will have to be conscious of finding setting aside time for recreation and fight off the hardworking attitude that comes with the Capricorn lifestyle. Loyal and charitable, this couple is loving and devoted without being overbearing, which is a desirable mixture for each partner.
Capricorn is ruled by the Planet Saturn. Saturn's main focus is on achieving goals through hard work. This planet also focuses on Capricorn's authoritative side and desire for social status. This couple is very career-minded. Their focus and intense energy can cause them to seem harsh or inflexible, but a Capricorn partner is not taken aback by such an attitude. Each communicates well and enjoys getting things accomplished together. This couple has a great capacity for love, but is not always as emotionally intertwined as other couples of the Zodiac. Both enjoy confronting a difficult issue, but also relish the space to pursue individual interests.
Capricorn is an Earth Sign. Interests lie in the material goods that indicate lofty social status. Capricorns are willing to work hard to make their house a home, and they aren't afraid to show off the fruits of their labor. Mundane activities and responsibilities are a staple of Capricorn's daily schedule, so it's important for these two to do something fun or silly every once in a while. At times, the Capricorn-Capricorn relationship could use a bit of lightening up!
Capricorn is a Cardinal Sign. This couple delights in initiating new activities and following them through. Always conservative, this couple spends their time and their money in practical applications and looks for the tangible results. The unyielding qualities of the Sea Goat workhorse make this duo a knockout couple as well as intimate friends.
What's the best aspect of the Capricorn-Capricorn relationship? It's their dedication to taking care of their personal and shared responsibilities. Theirs is a strong relationship, and the sturdy construction is built to last. As long as each partner remembers to laugh every once in a while, this will be a successful relationship.
Capricorn Fashion Profile
The Goat is more comfortable in business suits than sweats, and no-nonsense heels than sandals. You are reasonable enough to want the best, but not to expect to get it on your frugal budget. There's no snob in your nature to stop you from going straight for the bargain rack and looking for the best the sales stickers have to offer. All your clothing is practical. It may not be the latest cut, but it still looks good enough to let your business associates know that you're serious about your career. If the price is right, you'll go so far as to get your clothing tailored, as long as it retains its classic, timeless style. For relaxation, you might wear pedal pushers, and leg warmers are a must at the gym. You may hunt for bargains, but you dress for success.
What you save on clothes, you splurge on accessories. Your jewelry is simple, but expensive. You can be classy without being gaudy, and an amethyst here or there never harmed anyone. Other than that, earthy you prefers browns, beiges and khaki. Your hair is not a big issue, as long as it's short, attractive and can be styled in less than five minutes. Combining adornment with use, Capricorn was one of the first to wear calculator watches, though pagers and cell phones are now the chief adornment to your pockets or purses.

Capricorn Beauty Profile
You've always been told that you're a hard-working go-getter, Capricorn, that the bedroom and, for that matter, the powder room are secondary to the boardroom in your determined climb to the top. What is often overlooked in studying this Cardinal Earth Sign is the beauty beneath your diligent, conservative exterior. Capricorns possess an ability to find order in chaos, to find the aspect of a current trend that could become timeless and to enjoy the richness of life in careful but nonetheless enjoyable moderation.
You, Capricorn, are the sensible eater with the eternally slim waistline, the one who never forgets the sunscreen. Doing right by your health and your body just comes naturally to you. You make it look so easy! Your common sense approach to the everyday routine of self-maintenance is the key, and that's why you make such a good impression in meetings or job interviews -- you instinctively know how to present yourself.
It's not that you're necessarily conservative; rather, you're astute, adept at weeding out fads and identifying quality. Your elegance also shows in the confident and purposeful way you carry yourself. Pull your hair up into a sleek ponytail or keep it short -- whatever it takes to show off that beautiful neck. Warm, earthy scents suit you, as do dark, rich colors like plum, burgundy and red. Power is essential to Capricorns, and you glow when you have it. Your beauty comes from your resourcefulness and your ambition toward high-quality living.
Capricorn Career Profile
The workhorse of the Zodiac has arrived! No matter that it's a frisky little Goat -- this animal packs a wallop in the workplace. Practical, conservative (watch that bottom line!) Capricorns enjoy working hard and getting things done, and their patience and smarts help them persevere where others might give up. Those born under this Sign are comfortable as leaders and actually prefer this role, since it gives them a measure of control, which is soothing to them. The Goat is utterly responsible and great at rallying the troops in a way that brings out the best in everyone. They also crave independence and would feel just fine in an Ivory Tower office, directing the battle down below.
The solid, Earth Sign Goat doesn't need an entourage in the workplace -- a few trusted colleagues are much better. Traditionalists that they are, Capricorns also value image and are likely to insist that co-workers, as well as themselves, look as respectable as they are. Capricorns are highly organized, so being on their team is a study in cool efficiency. It's unlikely that the team will unravel, since the Goat knows how to do the right thing (again, for everyone) and is happy to carry a heavy load.
All this hard work can be pretty exhausting, which is why the Goat is advised to relax every now and again. "Relax? What a concept!" says the naive Goat, as if this couldn't be. Well, it should be, since Capricorns who remember to take care of their inner selves and let others shoulder some of the burden will do much better in the long run.
The Capricorn office is as solid and predictable as they come, filled with sturdy wood furniture and reams of files which will facilitate good, hard work. If they hit the road, Goats are bound to jump into a mondo American sedan or pick-up truck, anything with plenty of metal around (just in case). Lunch is also reliable and good value -- a nearby chop house will convey the right message to both clients and friends.
Capricorns are well suited as generals, administrators, ministers, managers, computer wizards and engineers.
Capricorn Passion Profile
If your Mars is in Capricorn, you may have tremendous endurance and tenacity to accomplish what you put your
mind to. You are focused and practical, bringing tremendous energy into a controlled and directed outlet.
You work hard, and are a respectable, determined lover, worker, and friend. You are willing to put in the time
it takes to build a relationship that is truly satisfying and mutually beneficial. Your lover will find you
stable, thoughtful,and down to earth. Your potency attracts people who admire you and recognize you for your
efforts and practical nature. Sensuality and a muted, underlying passionate nature make you an excellent catch
for anyone who enjoys peace, stability, and a no nonsense approach to life! You offer stability to your
relationships and are happiest when you and your partner are working toward a common goal.
Capricorn - Your Sun Sign
Capricorn, the tenth Sign of the Zodiac, is all about hard work. Those born under this Sign are more than happy to put in a full day at the office, realizing that it will likely take a lot of those days to get to the top. That's no problem, since Capricorns are both ambitious and determined: they will get there. Life is one big project for these folks, and they adapt to this by adopting a businesslike approach to most everything they do. Capricorns are practical as well, taking things one step at a time and being as realistic and pragmatic as possible. The Capricorn-born are extremely dedicated to their goals, almost to the point of stubbornness. Boy, those victories sure smell sweet, though, and that thought alone will keep Capricorns going.
The Goat symbolizes Capricorns, and an apt mascot it is. Goats love to climb to the top of the mountain, where the air is clear and fresh. In much the same way, Capricorns want to get to the top of their chosen field so that they can reap the benefits of success; namely fame, prestige and money. Getting to the top isn't always a walk in the park, however, so it's likely that Goats will ruffle a few feathers along the way. These folks can indeed be domineering, even egotistical, on their route to the top. They'll tell you it's part of being a leader with bright new ideas (in keeping with the Cardinal Quality assigned to this Sign).
Capricorns are industrious, efficient, organized and won't make a lot of waves. They are scrupulous with details and adopt a rather conventional posture in business and in life. These folks feel best playing it safe, since this is a fail-safe way to get to the top -- eventually.
Thankfully, Capricorns are patient, too, and are happy to wait for their ship to come in. The flip side to this staid behavior is that Goats can become quite unforgiving of those who aren't as diligent or ambitious as they are. Capricorns need to remember that they do need allies along the way, ambitious or otherwise. In any case, once Capricorns receive the recognition and social status they so fervently crave, it's likely that all will be forgiven.
Capricorn is ruled by the Planet Saturn. In ancient Roman mythology, Saturn was the father of many of the gods. Consider him top dog, if you will, and then you'll see a parallel to Capricorns. Those born under this Sign also want to be the top dog, and they're smart enough to know that the title won't simply be handed to them. Caps are happy to work for it, and luckily they possess enough discipline and sense of responsibility to get them there. Capricorns tend to be mature and are amply blessed with common sense, two more qualities which help their success-driven endeavors.
With any kind of luck (make that considerable work), Caps will find themselves on that top step, but they should also remember those who have helped them on their quest. They are traditional (but not quite the button-down stiffs some would suggest) and somewhat inhibited, prompting others to wonder if they can ever enjoy success and its rarefied air. Rest assured, these folks will be smiling inside.
The Element associated with Capricorn is Earth. No big surprise there! Caps are down-to-earth in the sense that they're not interested in wild ideas or round-the-world dreams. They would much rather stay put and get to work. Remember, these are the businesspeople of the Zodiac, so in their sensible and economical way, they'll get up every morning and see to it that their job is done to the highest degree of quality possible. While Caps can occasionally get a bit materialistic and greedy (they just want a reward for all their hard work), they are far too dignified and practical to get carried away. Plus, they love tradition and reserve and want to appear polite and friendly.
A Capricorn at rest (yes, there is such a thing) enjoys leisurely sports, like golf and croquet -- so long as they have a chance to win! Playing with a crew is also nice, since it brings to mind their beloved workplace. Team colors for a Capricorn are likely to be earthy brown and khaki, much like the classic, relaxed slacks they like to wear. Sporty Caps also need to watch their teeth and knees, and they shouldn't be too daring, lest they break some bones. When it comes to love, Capricorns are ever devoted and never emotive.
The great strengths of the Capricorn-born are their willingness to work hard and their determination to succeed. Their ambition is boundless, yet they are cautious, responsible and always play fair. That's why their successes are all the more sweet.
The Rooster Sign
The Rooster is the strutting peacock of the Chinese Zodiac! These quick thinkers are practical and resourceful, preferring to stick to what is tried and true rather than taking messy, unnecessary risks. Roosters are keenly observant. It's hard to slip anything past a Rooster, since they seem to have eyes in the backs of their heads! This quality can lead others to think the Rooster is psychic, but that's not generally the case; instead, this Sign enjoys a keen attention to detail that makes it a whiz at anything requiring close analysis. Roosters make great lawyers, brain surgeons and accountants, to name a few of this Sign's possible occupations. Above all else, the Rooster is very straightforward and rewards others' honesty in kind.
Roosters aren't shifty or cagey and have no interest in hiding behind a facade. They are the proverbial open book, telling the truth and keeping their word. If you show your hand, the Rooster will respect you for it. This kind of trusting behavior can tempt tricksters to pull a fast one on the Rooster, but that would be a bad move! Remember, this Sign doesn't indulge in flights of fancy and keeps those eyes wide open at all times.
Roosters tend to be perfectionists and expect to be in control, especially over their appearance. Primping and posing for the Rooster can go on forever! Being noticed and admired is an aphrodisiac for Roosters, and they can go a long time on a few kind words. Roosters also adore being out on the town, especially if they're in the company of adoring friends. The Rooster will also be the best-dressed one of the bunch -- style counts with this Sign, regardless of the cost.
Roosters also expect to be in control of their surroundings, including whoever happens to be in those surroundings. Roosters keep an impeccably neat house and expect their lovers, housemates and family members to maintain the same high standards of dress and conduct as they do. This can cause problems with other, more relaxed types who just want to be accepted as is. The Rooster needs the right partner, one who understands this Sign's basically conservative nature. With the right person, the Rooster can be the most loyal, trusting and supportive mate around, one who bends over backward to please its loved ones. Some Signs may just end up feeling hen-pecked, however.
Roosters need to learn to value their heart and soul as much as their good looks. Their excellent people skills and sharp minds are qualities that others will appreciate as much as a pretty face. This Sign would also do well to learn to adopt the philosophy of "live and let live"; perhaps an appeal to the Rooster's logic -- that it's inefficient to waste time nagging others -- will help this Sign learn to let others be whomever and however they are.
The most compatible match for a Rooster is the Ox or the Snake.
All About Capricorn from horoscopes.aol.com
The sure-footed Mountain Goat can climb to higher altitudes than any other mammal. And you sure-footed Capricorns are also well-suited for climbing. You set high goals for yourself and then you overcome whatever obstacles may appear between you and the top of your personal mountain. As you climb the ladder of success, your ambition pushes you forward. Status can be important to you and often, at the top of your game, you gain personal satisfaction by knowing that others respect you for what you have accomplished.
Your sun sign is just one piece of your astrology profile. You could have your Moon, Venus, Mars, Mercury or other planets in Capricorn, too! A Birth Chart and Report reveals the complete you.
Goats can dance out on the edge of a cliff, but will never fall. Why? Stability plays an important role, but so does practice. As a typical Goat, you may appear reckless, but chances are that your actions will have been very well planned, and probably also rehearsed. You are always calculating what will happen if you do something. You Capricorns are energetically conservative, only expending enough to get you to where you want to be. No silly impulsive actions for you. This is your best insurance to get to the top of the mountain.
Your motto might be Milton Berle's "If opportunity doesn't knock, then build a door." But this doesn't mean that if there are no mountains to climb that you must build the mountain. For you, hardships can be your path to fulfillment, but for the sake of happiness, it would be good for you to learn to appreciate what you have, instead of always striving to reach the next plateau.
Element: Earth
Earth signs are naturally practical. In this lifetime we are bound to Earth. There is no escaping the reality around us. The Earth is about as real as it gets; it can be felt, weighed and it has substance. Accordingly, the earth signs base their life on what is real, not what is imagined. Sensation is valued over thoughts or feelings. Earth signs live with their feet on the ground. Others seek their advice because of their basic sensibility. For earth signs, seeing is believing.
The earth of Capricorn is that of foundation and structure. It's about having a stable base so we don't build our life on shifting sand. Even the great mountains earth, and if it weren't for their foundational integrity, we couldn't climb upon them.
Tenth House: Career
The Tenth House is the House of the Father. It is where we pursue the outer world, which is often related to our career. This isn't about our personality. It's about how the outer world sees us through the role we play in it. It is here, in the Tenth House, that we look to find out about status and recognition.
Key Planet: Saturn
Saturn, the ringed planet, is etymologically tied to the word "Satan." But, as demonstrated in the Tarot, the "Devil Card" is not a bad card. It's only difficult if we've made the deal with the devil that we believe the physical world is all there is. Saturn is the planet of boundaries and limitations. If we succumb to those limitations, we are doomed to live within the laws of cause and effect. But if we do the hard work of spiritual practice, we can be rewarded by the wisdom that exists beyond the material plane. As the key planet for Capricorn, Saturn does symbolize that we get what we deserve. Take shortcuts in life and we'll meet up with problems later on. But if we do things with integrity, then the rewards will be ours.
Greatest Strength: Your ability to overcome obstacles
Possible Weakness: Too much work and not enough play
Astrology of the break-up of Sienna Miller and Jude Law from magisociety.com
With the help of Magi Astrology, we can easily understand why the Jude Law engagement to Sienna Miller had Heartbreak and pain written all over it.
There were three big and obvious astrological reasons they would encounter Heartbreak.
REASON ONE: THEY WERE ENGAGED ON A HEARTBREAK DAY
On the evening of Christmas 2004, Jude Law popped a bottle of champagne with Sienna and also popped the big question – Sienna unhesitatingly said “YES!”
Unfortunately, Dec. 25 2004 was a Heartbreak Day and as we have been warning loudly for nearly a decade, if you get engaged on a Heartbreak Day, your chances of experiencing Heartbreak is heartbreakingly high.
Here is a Magi Astrology Chart of their engagement showing that there was a Heartbreak Clash in the sky and it was nearly exact.
For over two years, our websites have been informing you which are the best and worst days of the month for important activities like getting engaged and married, buying a house, paying bills, etc. This information is in our Best and Worst Days of the Month Section. For the month of December 2004, we warned that December 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 were the worst days of that month. December 22 through 27 were particularly bad because the Saturn/Chiron Heartbreak Clash was peaking (becoming exact) and those days were not only the worst days of the month but also among the worst days of the year – Jude and Sienna were engaged on one of those worst days.
This is the first obvious reason Jude and Sienna are now suffering Heartbreak. By utilizing the principles of Magi Astrology, there are two other obvious reasons for their current Heartbreak. Here is reason number two.
REASON TWO: SIENNA GOT ENGAGED DURING TURBULENT SATURN TRANSITS
We have been warning for over a decade that we should not initiate anything important when we have bad transits. For example, we should not get married or engaged when we have bad transits. The worst transits we can have are Turbulent Transits by Saturn. Sienna Miller had two crucial Turbulent Transits by Saturn when she became engaged to Jude Law and those horrible transits she was having are some of the astrological reasons she is now suffering from Heartbreak.
Here is a CAC showing Sienna’s transits when she became engaged to Jude Law. The black planets represent the positions of the planets when Sienna was born and the red planets represent the positions of the transiting planets in the sky at the time Sienna got engaged.
When Sienna said “YES YES YES” to Jude Law’s proposal, transiting Saturn was making a Turbulent Transit to both her natal Pluto and Neptune. According to the Magi Society’s Interpretations Software, these are two of the worst transits we can have for matters of love, and we should not marry or get engaged during these transits. We should also not go out on a first date or make love for the first time during these transits.
Many of our website fans have asked us “What if you have good and bad transits at the same time? How do you judge which ones are more important?”
The answer is complex and we go into it in great detail in the Manual for our Interpretations Software. Very briefly, we believe that no two transits cancel each other out; every single transit works and has its own distinct effect so we should never ignore any important transit, and it would be a mistake to think that a bad transit is overpowered by a bunch of good ones. There are lots of possible transits and there are always at least several important transits happening to us at any given time. And all the transits are working. Once we master Magi Astrology, we can understand how to best interpret any combination of transits. You can best interpret any combination of transits by combining and integrating the Magi interpretations for all of the transits. Sienna is a good example of this.
Besides the Turbulent Saturn Transits, when Sienna was engaged to Jude Law, she also was having a Cinderella Transit (transiting Jupiter quincunx her natal Chiron) and also a money making transit (transiting Venus parallel her natal Neptune). Some astrologers who do not know any better would say the four transits are conflicting but they are not. Here is how to integrate all four transits:
Sienna’s engagement to Jude Law would make her a Cinderella in the eyes of many (the result of her Cinderella Transit), and she would improve her career and status as an actor because of her engagement (the result of her money making transit), but her engagement would nonetheless result in turmoil and heartbreak because according to Magi Astrology, when transiting Saturn makes a Turbulent Transit to our natal Neptune and Pluto, it means that Saturn is pushing us into a deeper relationship with the wrong person.
One last point, Sienna’s engagement was even worse than we have let on so far. We did not mention yet that the transiting Saturn/Chiron midpoint was also making Turbulent Clashes to her natal Neptune and Pluto.
As if all of this is not bad enough, there is a third obvious reason why Jude Law’s engagement to Sienna Miller would result in Heartbreak.
REASON THREE: JUDE AND SIENNA ARE VERY INCOMPATIBLE
Jude Law and Sienna Miller are highly incompatible.
If you only use the principles of Magi Astrology we have already published, you might think that Jude Law (born 29, 1972) and Sienna Miller (born Dec. 28, 1981) would be an ok match. But there are many, many secrets of Magi Astrology we have not yet published to the world.
