eig with
Capricorn

e’ve been enjoying the
pumped up enthusiasm
of Sagittarius and, now,

Capricorn comes along, giving us
notice to actually use that energy
to produce. Capricorn is an earth
sign and a cardinal sign. The earth
signs are just that — concerned
with things earthy, the material
plane. Being cardinal means that
the sign begins a season, in this
case, winter. With the cardinal
signs we have energy to begin, to
start, to create. With Capricom,
that manifestation can tend to be
confined to the material plane, but
the sign is not necessarily limited
to that realm.

The symbol of Capricorn
is the goat. The goat is sure-foot-
ed, determined and able to
achieve, to get to the top of the
mountain using a patient skillful-
ness. A more ancient and more
interesting symbol to my mind is
the sea-goat. This beast may seem
strange, but it combines the practi-

-cality ofthe goat with the fish’s

ability to swim through spiritual
waters in order to get beyond
materialism.

Now we are able to
achieve our ends through our goat-
like determination conjoined with
the watery compassion ofthe sea-
goat. Now we find we can have
not only a good job and a sweet
girlfriend, for example, but right
livelihood and right relationship.
In this time of the sea-goat we are
able to integrate heaven and earth.
When we blend the desire of the
goat to “make it happen” with the
consciousness of the sea-goat, we
are able to go beyond purely self-
ish goals and find a way to be use-
ful to the others. »

Anyone who has
observed goats knows that they are
intrinsically playful. Perseverance
need not be grim. Just imagining
the sea-goat gets me chuckling.
With the head of a goat and the
tail of a fish there is no sane
choice but to lighten up. ,

The essence of this sign
is conservative, for better or for
worse, therefore, we may be
tempted at this time to indulge in
narrow-mindedness, sticking to
our same-old, same-old tired dog-
matism. Hopefully, we are able to
realize, before rigor moitis sets in,
that our stodgy stance leads us
only to missed opportunities if we
persist in rigidly cling to the status

 

quo. Alternatively, we could rather
use this same insinct to protect and
care for what is truly valuable to
us.

Our minds are more cre-
ative than we know. We can iso-
late, risking depression or worse,
or we can join in with others to
achieve what is needed. This is a
time when we have strong support

Hopefully,

we are able to
realize that
our stodgy
stance leads
us only to

a missed
opportunities.

in nurturing our own basic good-
ness and thereby nurturing each
other and our own communities.

Those who have been
successfully swimming with the
sea-goat may notice that they have
survived the mad materialism of
Christmas/Chanukah season by
giving love and energy rather than
Stuff. How did you fare?

Capricorn continues until
January 19th, which means we
still have time to make use of the
wonderful creativity and impres-
sive steadfast quality that are the
gifts ofthe Goat. V
