CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 20)

The Capricornian usually has a long and serious-looking face. The knees and knuckles are somewhat prominent, and the teeth are not so bad either. Like its animal symbol, the Goat, the nose tends to be flared, but those "ware­house eyes" are likely to be pretty vacant.

Capricorn rules the bones, the knee and the skin. The knees represent the abi­lity to bend and be humble, and it is through humility that the Capricornian becomes successful. Arrogance appears to be a congenital disease among the less evolved types of this sign, which is quite ironic considering that the Goat was ori­ginally used to represent lechery. Like the proverbial stuffed shirts, these Capricorn-ians are terminally self-righteous wind bags. And they are so malignantly serious (snore). So what if the "the ancient emp­ty streets are too dead for dreaming?" For all that wind blown bravado, he can always go fly a kite. Which can be fun.

The mountain goat or antelope, on the other hand, is the symbol of the "earthy" and fun-loving Capricornian. He has a de­lightful sense of humor and an adroit ability to leap from crag to crag to reach the mountain top. He can fly, but he is never trivial. He loves to dance, even in the rain, which is a bit weird for goats are known to abhor rain.

Ruled by Saturn, the planet of struc­ture and limitation, he will do well in routine work or in the organizing of work along such lines. He can be a civil servant, politician, mathematician, bureaucrat, barber, laundro-mat operator and auditor of quasi-government corporations.
During the year, he will experience low levels of physical energy. He should devote if he can only kick off his mean old sneakers.

some time to developing his body. Pumping iron might help. If not, running after buses and jeepneys will do. And if that does not work either, he should try "miracle gardening". Harvesting over­sized watermelons, papayas, langkas, suhas, balimbings or whatever will do wonders to his body.
