Capricorn: For Better or Worse

      Mercury has now progressed to Capricorn, joining Venus and Pluto. Capricorn (steady goat, mountain climber) honors tradition, is often conservative, and can be a social-climber. Capricorns tend to be persistent, meticulous, even cold. But they hang in there for better or worse, and often latch onto something and won't let go until they get it.
      As you may have gathered if you've followed this blog, people like me (with significant Gemini and Sagittarius) may clash with Capricorns and even rebel against their rules...for Capricorns often want things to be just so, and air/fire signs tend to fly through life and ideas, kicking up mercury-winged heels and dancing in the opposite direction.
      Depending on the amount of Capricorn in a chart, Capricorns tend to steadily pursue a goal, marry for money, and prefer to be at top social functions. However, more Sagittarius or Aquarius, as well as other signs in their charts, can mitigate these qualities.
      (Many astrologers think Pluto in Capricorn has been largely responsible for the entrenched government and rules which Uranus in Aries has been rebelling against in the past several years since the Arab Spring.) to be continued...        Capricorn Traits
