Capricorn

**SIGN OF THE CAPRICIOUS**

CAPRI\* [PURPLE CASTE] // \*ICORN [PROSPIT + RAGE]

The alternative sway of Capricorn is Capriborn, and the opposite sign is Canrius.

The official website defines Capricorn in three segments: sign class, lunar sway, and aspect.

Purple Signs are the workaholics of the sign classes. Ambitious and driven, they have a very specific path in mind to reach the pinnacle of their field, and will work tirelessly toward it. However, if their practical brains convince them that their goal is unrealistic, they may be slow to trust anyone with the secret of their true desires. They are often very funny, their wit veering toward the dryly macabre. Their fatalism can be incredibly humorous or terrible, depending who you ask. Purple Signs are usually the people who will say out loud what everyone else was thinking but was too nervous to mention. They are very stubborn, and once they've made up their mind about something, whether it be a restaurant choice or a political affiliation, it is difficult to change. They have trouble admitting they were mistaken, and also that they are upset. An oft-repeated phrase of the Purple Signs is, "It's fine, don't worry about it." They will let arguments fester rather than face them head on. In love they tend to be strictly monogamous and fiercely devoted, ready to pledge themselves to a person the same way they do their goals-utterly, and without reservation.

Marked by a flexible optimism, the personalities of Prospit Dreamers are reactive and intuitive. They naturally exist in the present, rather than look to the future or obsess over the past. When making decisions Prospit Dreamers tend to rely on gut instinct and whatever emotions they are experiencing at the moment. This makes them quick to act and reliable in a crisis, but it also can make them capricious. They have trouble thinking things through, and their feelings toward specific situations and decisions can change from day to day. They solve problems with creativity rather than cold logic, often seeing multiple options with ease and clarity. Because they generally take things as they come, Prospit Dreamers are less rebellious than they are adaptable-instead of struggling against authority, they will find a way to coexist with it. Possibly because they are so instinctual and flexible, they like having a defined set of rules-a safety net for their passionate lives. Naturally trusting, they have trouble with deception or hiding their true selves, and will often worry about what others think of them. The self they project into the world is often not under their control.

Those bound to the aspect of Rage are bringers of chaos. They posses great contempt for lies or false ideas, including the stability that false ideas can impart. To them, the true is far more important than the good; they would tear down a system just to destabilize it if, by their reckoning, it is built on faulty premises. Often the Rage-bound prefer anarchy to any of the alternate forms of civilization, which they believe to be riddled with lies and foolishness and obedient masses. They are bringers of confusion and doubt, and they can be frustratingly difficult to convince otherwise when they have attached themselves to an idea. If they sound dangerous, they are. The Rage-bound tend to be most volatile and unpredictable of the aspects. At their best they are original, revolutionary, and fearless. At their worst they are cruel, uncompromising, and vicious.

Capricorn (from the Greek Αιγόκερως) is the tenth (10th) of twelve (12) western zodiac signs. It takes inspiration from the zodiac Capricornus "The Sea Goat", and people born within the months of December 22nd to January 19th are known to be a Capricorn. The zodiac Capricorn is one (1) of six (6) negative signs, one (1) of four (4) cardinal signs, and one (1) of three (3) earth signs alongside Taurus and Virgo. The sign ruler of Capricorn is Saturn, the detriment is Moon, the exhaltation is Mars, and the fall is Jupiter.

The six (6) negative signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces) are known as the signs with a Negative Polarity. This is in reference to the energy that the sign holds. These six (6) signs are traditionally known as the passive, Yin, receptive, or "feminine" signs. The negative signs also include the earth and water triplicities.

The three (3) modalities or modes in reference to a sign is talking about the position it can be found in during each season. The four (4) elements manifests in three (3) modalities: Cardinal, Fixed, and Mutable. They are also known as the Quadruplicities, because they are grouped with four (4) signs in each group, one sign of each element. Each of the three (3) modes also have specific traits that the signs grouped to them hold or example. Cardinal signs are known for their action, dynamic, initiative, and great force. The Cardinal signs are Aries (fire), Cancer (water), Libra (air), and Capricorn (earth).

The four (4) elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) are attributed to the twelve (12) western zodiac signs, and each group corresponds to a specific group of traits often found in those signs, along with a personality type that was proposed by the Greek physician, Hippocrates. These groups are known as the Four Element Triplicities. One of these groups is Earth which has been known to house the traits of Practicality, Caution, Material World. According to Hippocrates, the Earth element correlates to the Melancholic personality type. Melancholic people are described to be Neurotic Introverts or Unstable Introverts, which means that they tend to be anxious, rigid, pessimistic, and unsocial.

Capricorn people are protective and caring, if you have their back then they will always and forever have yours. They are passionate and ambitious, they have dreams and they know what they want from life. They are a ride or die kind of sign, and if you don't agree with them then they have no problem letting you go off on your own way. The Capricorn craves close bonds with other people, and they would much rather have a few close friends than a large group of acquaintances. Capricorn is an honest sign and they generally don't mean harm, even though they can be stubborn sometimes, but that's just in their nature. They want to be good people and do good things, but sometimes they accidentally hurt the people closest to them and they feel really really bad about it.

Capricorn's like safety and security in their lives, they strive to create a sanctuary out of their life, and this means choosing who they want to have beside them as well. Signs like Taurus provide a stable relationship and can act as a rock in the Capricorn's life, just like the Pisces as well. Virgo, Scorpio, and Cancer prove to be good friends to the Capricorn, even though their relationships might seem a bit rocky at times. Aries and Libra will often clash with the Capricorn's agreeable and docile nature, but the Capricorn is great at sorting through any problems they might have.
