Capricorn Compatibility

The most congenial friends and companions will be found with those born in Taurus, Virgo, and Libra, or those born about the same time of year as themselves.

Capricorn Faults

The faults of these people are selfishness and self-distrust. They talk too much, and magnify their troubles and perplexities. Their spiritual nature is hard to reach, but once aroused is capable of the highest development. They are not quick to anger, but when their rights are meddled with they can be passionate and cruel in their denunciations.

Capricorn Dis-Eases

The dis-eases most likely to attack those born under this sign are indigestion and melancholia. They are often the victims of overwork because of their determination to achieve brilliantly whatever they undertake, and because of their lack of judgment in reference to their powers of endurance.

These ailments can be minimized by those who realize that mind is the master and body the servant of mind.

Capricorn Mode of Growth

As these people often talk too much, they should first learn silence and deep meditation, and search for the best methods of overcoming the habit of unkind judgment. They should learn discrimination about methods of work, and not ruin their fine powers by a too strict adherence to precedent and public opinion.

They should make a careful study of themselves, find their weakest points, and then set diligently to work to strengthen them. The chief lesson for an intelligent Capricorn person to learn is that there is something higher than the intellect, and that there are things that cannot be proved by mathematics or worked out by deductive reasoning.

When the teachers in this sign are illuminated by spiritual light their power for good is unlimited, and they seem to possess every gift worth having. This light can be obtained only by looking up and away from the Self. The tendency to morbid introspection and the habit of dwelling upon the ills of life make this a difficult matter. The earth's attraction for these people is very strong, but it is often beautifully overcome. There is great challenge and credit in such conquest, for this sign represents the dark side of the earth, called by some Hades.

Capricorn Children

Children born under this sign should not be associated with cross or coarse people, as they readily take on the conditions of those about them. Great care should be taken to instruct them in a plain matter-of-fact understanding of the uses and the abuses of the sex nature. It is not impossible to be too earnest in this education, nor can they be too early impressed with the realities of human life, and the necessity of self-government, especially in the matter of pride.

These Capricorn children are inclined to be haughty and arrogant if not controlled. Like their elders who have not been brought into harmony with spiritual truth, they reason from external, material standpoints, and are apt to feel that they know it all. Care should be taken to cultivate in them a desire to serve others rather than themselves. It is also vitally necessary that they be taught discretion in eating. Unwearied pains should be taken to keep these children simple in their desires and natural in behavior. The tendency of this sign is toward outward display, which could easily degenerate into vulgar and shoddy tastes.

The Cusp of Sagittarius-Capricorn, December 22 to 28

These natives seem, as a rule, very much happier than those who are born in the sign Capricorn. The genial Jupiter outwits for a few days the somber Saturn, and the warmth of Sagittarius acts like a charm upon this last Earth sign.

The inordinate social and intellectual ambition of Capricorn is modified by the more ethereal and democratic attributes of its neighbor. These "cuspers" are among the great thinkers and workers of the world. They are inspired teachers of the young and much fonder of children than the average “Capricorner,” who expects little folks to be constantly on their good be­havior.

This is a good point for the successful training of musical talent, as the musical atmosphere is ever present. It is made by the response of earth to fire and the companionable influence of Ju­piter.

These people are great observers and fine critics, and are more just and kindly in their criticisms than the average Sagittarius or Capricorn person.

They do not fall in love easily, but when they marry it is usually because of affection, and when this is the case are constant. They demand the best of everything, give of their best, and seem to attract naturally all the good things of life. They are just, exact, methodical, and efficient in all that they undertake, whether they like the work or not.

They are good dancers, good linguists, and the best of traveling companions.
