by The fulfilment
The astrological sign of Capricorn (22 December – 20 January) holds significant seasonal symbolism, representing the onset of the cold season and the winter solstice. As the longest night descends upon us, nature is transformed into a silent manifestation, where snow blankets the earth, and the trees stand bare and shrivelled. The energy of the seed is internalised and buried, ready to withstand the rigours of the climate.
In accordance with the seasonal alignment, individuals belonging to the Capricorn zodiac sign present themselves as outwardly composed or unemotional. Their inherent nature inclines them towards contemplation, introspection, and rationalisation of their instinctual impulses. The innate sense of upliftment necessitates a frequently distressing understanding of their repressed emotions, the relinquishment of their free sensibilities, and the inevitable repercussions of challenges that are necessary for their evolutionary advancement.
Classifications
Physical type
The physical type often compensates for their instinctual and emotional lack of soul through excessive engagement in chaotic life events. This behaviour is driven by the attempt to mimic sensitivity with illogical attitudes. Moments of severe application are followed by irrational and self-defeating behaviours that aim to recover an assumed expressive poverty. Such individuals struggle with expressing themselves and may resort to misguided actions to overcome their perceived emotional limitations.
Astral type
Individuals with the astral disposition, characterised by a preference for ambition, tend to lead a life marked by their compelling desire for recognition. Realising their goals is a deliberate, calculated process requiring unwavering determination, persistence, and meticulousness. Their primary aspirations typically focus on achieving social success, while their emotional expression is generally restrained yet enduring in their interpersonal relationships.
Spiritual type
The spiritual type is characterised by the ability to transmute ambition into detachment. This process involves channelling oneself towards an existential direction that can be challenging and accompanied by moral torments. However, it ultimately leads to acquiring the knowledge and discipline necessary for spiritual elevation and accomplishing great works. This Capricorn’s nature is vertical, meaning they are willing to face the harsh realities of life to reach the top.
