Sign of Capricorn

It is through the sign of Capricorn - and its ruler Saturn - that we achieve the goals we seek in this life. As an impulsive sign of Earth, it has movement always ahead, but with earthly calm, dexterity and patience. Unlike Virgo - which focuses more on the means, that is, the activity itself that is realized; Or Taurus, which focuses on maintaining security; The Capricornian looks directly at a purpose, and will do what is necessary to attain it.
Self control is a strong trait of this sign that is considered the second most resistant, behind only of Taurus. In it, the planet Mars is exalted, indicating that the ideal stage for our vital impulse is in the incisive effort when possible, and contained when necessary, but never losing sight of the end: to actually accomplish what we aim for.


To achieve - a verb less sweet or pleasant than that of so many areas of life; In what Saturn commonly takes the stigma of "taciturn" planet, or even evil. However, when what has to be achieved  is urgent - in any circumstance that this world imposes - we are apt to admire what in this sign exists of sublime. It challenges obstacles, without temerity and without even boasting - just because it feels they should be pierced. When it's attained, there's also has no grudge as to those who have made his way difficult- Saturn achieves with the naturalness of those who have always known that they would succeed, and no matter how much their demeanor impress others, they are not so impressed - what only contributes to the fame Of taciturn.

It must be remembered, however, that for every Librian feast, or Pisces inebriare, or firm taurine abode in which the Moon is exalted - much of Capricorn was there to make everything possible. Saturn is thus an enabler. And how much pain you face for each learning should not be imputed as if it were due to the planet - rather, it helps us to become real, teaches us how and what is possible of our desires - a process of maturing. It is around twenty-nine years old that Saturn completes a turn in the Zodiac, returning to the point where it was at birth. It is called the Return of Saturn, for many the beginning of adult life.
 
The exaltation of Saturn is in the sign of Libra, which indicates that achieving our goals with harmony, lightness and fairness is the ideal path. Its symbol represents the Aigokeros, species of sea goat that inhabits the region of Anatolia, between Sardis and Olympus - present Turkey. Half mermaid and half caprine, they rise from the sea and tread the heights of the mountains that instigate them. With only two legs - and the tail that reminds him of the already distant reality he had left - he reaches the top - only to glimpse some other top, previously not visible, now ringed.

But perhaps the best figuration of Saturn is actually the Beaver, a mammal who, when perceiving that the current of the river is already too much, prepares himself, in a careful and solid undertaking, to contain. It makes us aware of the responsibility - and the river is immense - and of the greatness of the act, among us, mere humans but with robots exploring the Belt of Chiron and the moons of Saturn, there is no one who is not surprised to see them , so rodents, and in such wise dedication. For fresh water to sprout.
