From a Capricorn's perspective, yours is the best capture of what it's like to be born under what feels like a very confusing but still overly misunderstood sign. I tell people what I value more than anything is truth and communication -- that I don't expect anyone to be perfect, but I do ask for anyone's very best intent at communicating their truth, even when it comes out hard. Sadly there are very, very few people who believe that. And I can't not notice lies – they're far too obvious to me – I've tried to ignore them, mostly in relationships with fire signs, Aries or Saggitarius. Athough I have the biggest crush on my straight Scorpio best guy friend at work of course. Capricorns know we all have so much potential to be the best versions of ourselves. And we also see it so clearly the way so many people either turn a blind eye to that or just don't know it's there. And that's a bummer. To "get" that that's a fundamental part of humanity, when you know most people don't sense it physically the way you do, just keeps everything a little sober. You know too well that no party lasts forever, and they're always the nastiest to clean up. Which is also why, if we do start partying, sometimes it takes us a good long while to stop, because we know only all-too-well what kind of mess we're coming back to, multiplied over time. Like sands through the hourglass... Every day is an opportunity to have done something even a little more to get me to my next step faster. And still: why? Why climb so much? Because if I don't use these hands, the Devil will. Which in the Tarot represents Capricorn: Pan, the Goat God (aka Dionysus). The shackles (addictions, behavior patterns, etc.) are big enough to slip from around your neck and cleanly over your head: you can remove them anytime you want and climb the mountain behind. Accept that half of you is human matter while the other half is ethereally divine, and you'll understand enough to move on past and up your mountain to express your divine creativity. That's all I want to do. And I like to help people out. Sometimes because I know someone's favor in a diplomatic tug-o-war might serve me some day, but honestly and ALWAYS (never just the former reason): most of the time I really like helping people out. ... But only for the people who give more effort to their lives. There are billions of people on this planet. I'll help out the ones I encounter who are working harder than most because they know they have to in order to create something good for the world. Because it's all about intent, right? Life, I mean. Intent affects choices and decisions which affect results and repercussions and ripples. Why not give more thought to intention? That's what Capricorns keep on asking ourselves and putting our face in our hands exasperatedly because we can't figure out why so many other people just can't see what's clear as crystal to us. LOL (or cry, although my 2010 theme is: Happy not crappy :-) Michael from camaraderie and personal experience Thank you.
