The seagoat takes up residence in the house of the Sun on December 22. This is serious business for serious people as Capricorn is well aware of how serious everything is. . .seriously.

Ruled by sanquine Saturn, the planet of work and responsibility, Capricorn is all business even at play. Everything is a transaction for Capricorn. When they give you something, it is because they feel they owe it to you or they want you in their debt. They as a good at creating social debts as they are at collecting them. When a Capricorn smiles at you, remember that a crocodile smiles as it takes the first bite of their meal, which they swallow whole.

They are possessive people, about things, not of people. They understand the meaning of the words “diamonds are a girl’s best friend”, because few people have the steadfastness that Capricorn needs to rely on. When a Cap comes to you for help (besides it being a cold day in hell) they really need you to step up to the plate. Fail to deliver, you’re history; deliver, and they never let you out of their sight.

So few people measure up to Capricorns strict standards that they make due with what’s available until the “right one comes along.” The “right one” will have the beauty of Venus or Adonis, the social sense of Emily Post and a DAR or SAR membership. Oh, yes. You have to be useful, too. How do you know if your pegged for permanent partner status? If you’ve been seeing them for over a year but under two, you are in the running. If it is over two years, and no marriage proposal is forthcoming or accepted, you are in the “makedo” category. Unfortunate as it is, if marriage is your goal, it is better to make tracks than hang on waiting for your Capricorn to change his or her mind. It isn’t going to happen.

Even then, beware of the fine print, the “get out of jail free” card every Capricorn keeps in their wallet. You must be aware of the defining reason why your Capricorn is in relationship with you. Like Jennifer Anniston found out, when you fail to fulfill your end of the bargain, Capricorn feels that the your relationship agreement is breached and they are free to move on.

They are big on rules, you see, especially the ones they make themselves. One Capricorn man broke off a long term relationship with a “playmate” not because she was sleeping with other men (he couldn’t care less about that) but that she didn’t tell him she was. Had he’d known he’d insisted she be tested for sexually transmitted diseases, just so he wasn’t exposed to them. Breaking this rule broke up this relationship for good.

If you think Capricorns are dull and staid, you’d be wrong. This is only the mask they wear to the world. Their fantasy lives are rich with conjurations of all kinds, from dreams of world domination to dominations of other kinds. If you can get a Capricorn to tell you what he or she really wants, your know you have a special place in their mercenary little hearts. Isn’t that special?

For the upcoming week:

Capricorns, Cancer, Pisces, Virgo, Gemini and Libra find yourselves in clashes with older family members and people at work over tuff and responsibilities. This is an aweful strain to put on yourself, especially since you’ve worked so hard this Christmas season. Examine your motives for anything you get angry over. Remember, this too, will pass.

Taurus, Aquarius, Leo and Scorpio, the things you want are not the things you get. From time the time the Universe does not cooperate with your agenda, and this is one of those times. A blockage in exploring root spiritual issues may be at the heart of this disturbance. Open yourself to new possibilities.

Aries, and Sagittarius, the fire sign stellium that gave you so much drive this past year is now a thing of the past. Pluto is in Sagittarius in its last degree, a degree said to be a sign of decisions that need to be made. Your only support is trickster Uranus, who is going to make you change for your own good. Is that nice to know?
