Archetypal Zodiac: The Ninth Constellation and Starhouse : Capricorn:

January 15th -February 15th

The Sun is in the Constellation of CAPRICORN:

Whatever this world and this life may be, you know you didn’t come here willingly.

A stranger in a strange land you look out into the world clear eyed and free of all illusion. You know that all you really have is yourself your vision, your goal and the determination to get on with it. Others mistake this for ambition, not understanding either your utter inner solitude or your determination to remain self reliant free and independent.

You like to control things situations and people, and you are well used to hearing yourself described as a “control freak”. Because you know who you are you really don’t care what others choose to think of you. What you do care about is having your life work really well. When you find yourself sorting out and imposing order upon the confusion and chaos that others so easily lapse into you notice that they don’t call you a “control freak” then. Or if they do it’s with affection and gratitude.

Endurance is a big word in your lexicon. You are able to walk into a new situation or job and at a glance see who is really who and who is still going to be there in a years time. This is one of the reasons why you so rarely have to fight for what you want. With you it’s all about timing patience and endurance. You don’t suffer fools easily and characteristically you deal with them by ignoring them. And you are so good at this that they rarely even notice. You like to move through the spaces in the world quietly surreptitiously without ever wasting energy or time in pointless encounters or confrontations.

Being essentially cautious you are rarely the first one to adopt a new method or technology, preferring to let others be the experimental test market. Once a new method or technology has proven its worth, you will adopt it, master it and get the best out of it.

Sometimes you appear cold to those who mistake worthless emotionalism and histrionics for true feelings. What you have, you hold, protect and cherish. Your feelings are deep and contained within a determination to keep what is private from the eyes of the merely curious and profane.

Profoundly aware of deep spirituality you choose with care those you will discuss these matters with. You see clearly that traditional religion is a cultural and social affair, the embodiment of history, which is why you participate in it. But authentic spirituality belongs to the few. Mysticism and occultism come naturally to you and you are fearless in these areas.

Often you live in a haunted house without mentioning it out of respect for the Ghosts privacy. When you begin to learn how to meditate you take to it naturally. Transcendence is not your problem you are already innately enlightened, no the problem is whither or not you are going to fully embrace this Earth and this Humanity and stay until everyone goes free.
