WHAT
IS THE ZODIAC? |
 |
|
|
 |
|
At the
time and date of birth, the
planets will be at certain
positions in the Zodiac.
They will also be in certain
houses, form certain
aspects, and the Ascendant
and Midheaven will be
defined also for that
specific time and date and
place of birth.
All this information can be
represented pictorially in a
"Birthchart", or "Horoscope
Wheel", as shown.
Around the edge are the
twelve signs of the Zodiac -
shown by their symbols.
Within the circle are the
planets, also shown by their
symbols and positioned
within the circle at their
respective positions along
the Zodiac. The Houses are
shown by dividing this
circle diametrically,
beginning at the Ascendant
and proceeding around the
wheel every thirty degrees,
as is also shown.
This construction - the Birthchart - is essentially
a "photograph" of the
heavens at a given time and
date, which is why the date
and time of your birth must
be known. It is unique to
that time and date, and also
the location on the surface
of the Earth which is why
the place of birth must also
be known, and therefore
unique to the person for
whom the chart is drawn.
Thus the birthchart contains
all the information the
astrologer needs to perform
his art. We have within it
the planetary positions both
in the Zodiac and in the
houses - from which the
aspects may be computed, the
Ascendant and Midheaven, and
from this the astrologer may
deduce any other
astrological measurements
that he requires.
All of these things are used
by astrologers to determine
the character, and predict
the future of the individual
for whom the horoscope is
cast. The Sun in Aries for
example means something
different as regards a
person’s character than the
Sun in Taurus. And similarly
for the other planets, and
the aspects they form as
well as the houses they
occupy at the time of birth.
The detailed "reading" or
"delineation" as it is
called is quite a complex
process and demands a good
deal of experience. The
horoscope you have here is
very detailed and accurate
and conforms to standard and
tested astrological practice
- which is, as both an art
and a science, many
thousands of years old!

what makes a Capricorn tick? |
|
|
 "Capricorns
are captivating.' Say it again.
Good. Now remember it, and forget
what you might have heard about
these folk being morose and
melancholic. You will find some
Capricorns with a grouse, because
there are positive and negative
folks in every sign, but a together
Capricorn can be gorgeous.
Let's get the worst over
first with this sign. Some
Capricorns can be the original wet
blankets, moaning and misanthropic,
complaining and carping, and
generally being gloomy old things.
You'll look at them and think 'I
don't want to know you.' But if you
bother to get to know them, you can
have the time of your life. Talk
about giggle!
One of the tremendous traits
of this bunch is their superb sense
of humour and wit that's as dry as a
bone, but much more fun. They can be
sarcastic about everything including
themselves, which makes them very
endearing indeed and they really do
act the goat, making you laugh until
your sides split. Once you've
glimpsed the sensational side of
this sign, you can turn a blind eye
to its more trite traits, because
you'll have found the silver lining
to the Capricorn cloud.
Some negative Capricorns can
pick holes in everything even if
they hit the jackpot at bingo,
they'll moan about having to spend
all that money. The poor things
can't express their emotions,
either, and will bottle up all their
feelings and frustrations.
When you meet a Capricorn,
expect them to act older than their
years. Capricorns age in the
opposite way to the rest of us,
behaving as if they were fifty when
they're only five, and seven when
they're seventy. This means that
Capricorns make elderly-seeming
babies and young-at-heart
pensioners. When the rest of us are
being put out to grass, Capricorns
are just coming into their own!
This is a sign that believes
in experience, with a capital 'E'.
They never have an easy life until
they've blown out all the candles on
their thirtieth birthday cakes.
Until then, life will have been one
long struggle; the only way for them
to survive is to learn by
experience. Capricorns hate wasting
anything! Many of them will have had
cramped childhoods, awful
adolescences and terrible twenties.
But they'll have terrific thirties,
fantastic forties even naughty
nineties!
There are two types of
Capricorn the ones who cavort and
curvet up the crags to the summit of
their own mountainsides, and the
ones who are domestic, and like to
potter about their own pieces of
pasture, never straying far from the
fireside. Capricorns are Cardinal,
making them astoundingly ambitious,
and even the domestic ones will be
determined to do well. Success for
them, though, isn't totally based on
hard cash; honour, public position
and status all smell sweet to them,
Capricorns need security,
which they get from the tried, true
and tested. They love history, and
anything with a past, because then
they feel safe. Capricorns are
conservative, canny and cautious,
and are suspicious of new-fangled
things, until they get used to them.
They hate to fly in the face of
convention.
They're very wary of wearing
out their wallets, too. They believe
that if they take care of the
farthings, the pennies will look
after themselves. More positive
Capricorns would call themselves
careful, and will be generous with
their loot when they've got it, and
laugh about it when they haven't.
Guilt is a very Capricornian
quality, and some Capricorns thrive
on it, putting everyone through the
mill, including themselves. They can
set themselves impossibly high
ideals, and almost galactic goals,
and then hate themselves when they
fail to reach them. Because just as
they hate waste, they also can't
abide failure. They are deeply
determined and disciplined, so can
drive themselves to hit heights
others only dream of. |

Capricorn as a friend |
|
|
FRIENDSHIP, FRIENDSHIP,
that's the perfect friendship! Whoever warbled that must have been
going on about the Capricorns. They make perfect pals, and are
loyal, level-headed, and a lot of laughs. What more could you want?
Like their fellow Earth signs, Taurus and Virgo, you can
always count on a Capricorn when you're in a spot of bother. They're
supportive and sensible, and real pillars of strength. Capricorns
have a stupendously strong sense of duty and responsibility to the
ones they love. They will always rally round and hold your hand in a
crisis, drawing on their wealth of worldly wisdom to find a scheme
to save your skin and well-hoofed ones may even lend you some of
their loot to tide you over if your bank manager is seeing red.
A Capricorn chum will stand by you through thick and thin. In
fact, he or she won't care how many diets you try out, but when the
boot is on the other foot, and it's your mate who's in misery, you
may not be allowed to return the compliment. Capricorns are
stunningly self-sufficient and self-contained, and like to cope
alone. When you offer advice, the Capricorn will grin and say 'Not
today, thank you.' Negative nanny goats, of course, will take your
offer of help as their cue to totter at your tootsies, saying they
can't go on.
Though Capricorns make fine friends, you may have hassles
getting them interested in the first place. They're not the most
sociable of signs, preferring an evening by the fire to a night on
the tiles, and only gad and gallivant about like giddy Goats if a
lively sign is part of their natal make-up.
When you first encounter a Capricorn pay attention. When the
Capricorn thinks the coast is clear, he or she will clock you
carefully to size you up and see that you're suitable.
Capricorns don't like socialising for the sake of it, because
they've got better things to do with their time. So you've got to be
worth getting to know, or you'll never climb on to their social
lists.
And talking of climbing, that's just what these guys do.
Capricorns may not be aware of it themselves, but they are socially
ambitious. As a result, you must be able to offer your Capricorn
chum something apart from friendship at some point in your
relationship. If you're a failure, you may be on dangerous ground;
your Capricorn pal will begin by helping you, but if all is in vain,
slowly but surely you'll be eased off their social register. This
might sound cold and calculating, but Capricorns can't abide waste
of any sort.
And time is money, where Capricorns are concerned.
But don't get all heated-up and have the heebie-jeebies
because you're not about to become Prime Minister, or can't afford
your own airline, and are worried that your mate is going to give
you the elbow. Just show an atom of ambition, a molecule of
magnificence, and all will be well.
If you want to take your mate out for a treat, have a day
trip to a place pulsating with pageantry and heaving with history.
But whatever you do, you'll soon see that one thing Capricorns
aren't keen on is eating out. It's much too expensive! But
Capricorns will have a good go at the grub when someone else is
footing the bill. After all, they're not daft!

Capricorn IN LOVE |
|
|
Love isn’t a many-splendoured thing to Capricorns. It's not
an easy emotion for them to feel. Some of them are more at home with
ambition than amour.
Capricorns don't give themselves a chance when it comes to
love. Very often, they erect obstacles between themselves and the
objects of their affections, which give them a good excuse not to
act upon their feelings. The trouble is that they're terrified by
the thought of rejection, and will do anything to avoid it. As a
result Capricorns opt for unrequited love. It's easier that way.
They'll go through the agonies and the ecstasies of amour, but from
afar. The thought of inviting their inamoratas to come dancing or go
bowling will send them into paroxysms of panic and if they do pluck
up the courage and are then turned down, they may curl up and die on
the spot. Instead of saying 'What about next week?', they'll slink
off, scarred for life and feeling very, very sorry for themselves.
You see, all Capricorns are convinced that folk find them
funny, and laugh about them behind their backs. Even if they're
having a happy relationship, they can find it hard to believe that
their amour doesn't really think they're one big belly laugh. This
is often a figment of their imaginations, but they can torture
themselves terribly. They underestimate themselves, often to a
dramatic degree.
Capricorns who've been caught by Cupid can be quite
melancholic and masochistic, so their loved ones should try to jolly
them up, and make them feel cherished. Give your Capricorn a hundred
hugs a day and see what happens.
Because love can be confusing to Capricorns, married
Capricorns may more often be seized by a sense of family duty than
by fervent desire. This can make them seem slightly chilly, and in
fact most Capricorns find it hard to show their feelings. They don't
lavish you with love, although it'll be there under the surface.
Capricorns aren't adept at announcing amour, because they think they
sound a mite trite. If one day you throw a wobbly and say 'You don't
love me', your old Goat will gaze at you and say "Yes I do. I've
lived with you for twenty years, haven't I?'
Being an Earth sign, Capricorns are no slouches when it comes
to sex. But sometimes even sex will be seen as a duty.
Now, suppose you've set your cap at a Capricorn, but don't
know what to do. Well, there are three golden rules, and if you
follow them, you can't go wrong. Firstly, punctuality is a must.
Capricorns hate to waste even a minute. Secondly, take your loot
with you, and offer to pay for something, whether it's the port and
lemons or the plaice and chips and lastly, make 'em laugh! Be warm,
witty and wonderful, and as bright as a button. Do all this and
you'll be well on the way to success. |
