Capricorn Wisdom

Since I was born in Capricorn season, let me tell you bit about Capricorn, starting off with a personal story:  
 
Going headfirst through walls is a very common practice among us, we are perfectly equipped for that, sporting horns and having a thick skull. Using open doors is no challenge and thus not very appealing. I have a scar on my forehead attesting to that. According to my parents – I was still very small – I tried to break a way through the wall instead of using our front door, running straight into it. ​

A few years back a friend of mine suggested that I could use open doors for a change and - if I felt that that would be too easy - I could always learn how to levitate and hover through them. I have a suspicion - albeit a very slight one - that he might be right and open doors are indeed the challenge for us Capricorns, but I have to contemplate that for a while longer. 

​Yes, we like to take our time, when contemplating or building something. We are Earth signs after all. Extremely patient. With others that is, not so much with ourselves and what we start today better be finished the day before yesterday. ​

Once you have found a place in a Capricorn’s heart, you have found a friend who will stand by your side no matter what. Up for a walk through hell? Let’s go for a stroll, we are game

​If that patience ever reaches an end, however, we don’t start a fiery blaze. We are born and bred in winter. We grow cold. 

​The opposite holds true as well: Once you have found a place in a Capricorn’s heart, you have found a friend who will stand by your side no matter what. Up for a walk through hell? Let’s go for a stroll, we are game.

​And yes. We do have a sense of humor. 
 
Capricorn says, “Your limitations in being and creating are, where you yourself place them. Your spirit, your heart and your soul do not know any limits. There is no mountain you cannot climb; no mountain top you cannot reach. Let go of the chains of your mind and dare dream your dream into being.”
