Western Zodiac
Capricorn

Capricorns embody the autumnal period, around the mid- to late-sixties of a human lifetime. They tend to have an ingrained faith in their own abilities, as if they were born already blessed with great life experience. They are grounded by their element of Earth: diligent, patient, and adept at conserving resources to further their significant ambitions. Above all, Capricorns are masterful at exercising control, at understanding and wielding power. The challenges they face tend to arise from an innate pessimism, an impression that time is running out for them to capitalize on their abundant skills.

Perhaps less obvious, but with plenty of potential, are the signs Capricorn shares a minor aspect with—the semi-Sextile connections of Aquarius and Sagittarius, and the Quincunx connections of Gemini and Leo—and of course, kindred natives of Capricorn. Finally, there are the Square matches of Aries and Libra, which can be more challenging but equally rewarding.
