If you're surrounded by a lot of Capricorns, according to the Law of Attraction, you're also a fairly worthy of "Versailles" – knowing that Capricorns don't have time to make friends with people who are flippant, superficial, and know how to play all day! So you must be very good too, aren't you? Of course, if you're a Capricorn yourself, it goes without saying.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="10" > if a group of Capricorns travel together</h1>
Now that your zodiac train is back on track, you're redefining your schedule. You breathe a sigh of relief knowing that you'll arrive at your destination only an hour or two later than you originally planned. When you arrive, you have enough time to go to the hotel for a good night's sleep. You may even have time to check your notes before the next day's important meeting starts. Maybe now is a good time to check those PPT and files.
After exchanging polite smiles with your travel companions, you all opened your laptops. "I'm going to a very important meeting the day after I arrive at the station," you explain, "and I have to prepare ahead of time." "Me too," they said, "we are fighting for a contract with the power company to rebuild a dam that was destroyed in the earthquake." "You can't believe your ears, you're going to do exactly the same thing!" Your companions on the go turned out to be your competitors!
"What's wrong? Any questions? "They see the change in your expression. You don't know how to answer appropriately. You decide to act professional. "It looks like we're competitors. My company is also involved in this bid. "Got it," they said, "well, good luck to you." They said and held out their hands to shake your hand. It was a solemn handshake. After all, in a race, someone loses and someone wins. Although you are all secretly determined to be the winner.
You read the materials for a while and are satisfied that you are quite well prepared for the meeting. You both knew you couldn't talk to each other about the bid, so after you turned off your computer, you started talking about some of your life goals. When you listen to your new friends tell you about what they want to achieve in life, you feel yourself paying homage to them. Sounds like their goals are very similar to yours. In addition, you can feel that they are very determined. You realize that you have met strong opponents, but you also appreciate them more, and you carefully evaluate in your heart what it would be like to live with them. That's what you think when the train hits its destination.
This is Capricorn. It's a serious journey that tests your commitment to what you think is important. But if you're a Capricorn, the experience of success is worth the effort you put into pursuing. You are not only proving your abilities to the world, you are also proving to yourself. So you have to stick to your definition of success. Failure brings temporary pain, but it is better to taste failure than to let fear destroy the will to struggle because of fear of failure.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="10">G.O.A.T</h1>
Shakespeare wrote this line for Julius Caesar: "That Cassius looks thin and hungry." "He must have thought of Capricorn then. Cassius is based on an ambitious Roman senator who, in the plot, is desperate to assassinate Caesar.
Interestingly, the boxer Ali's original name was "Cassius Clay", which is not only reminiscent of the old ambitious surname Cassius, but his surname "Clay" itself is a kind of earth, which resonates with the earth sign capricorn. It was from this small place in Louisville, Kentucky, that Alli conquered the world stage. The symbol of Capricorn is a combination of goat and fish tail, symbolizing the evolutionary path from the bottom of the sea to the top of the mountain.
There is a very noteworthy phenomenon of cultural synchronization in Capricorns that Capricorns will be very interested in, and that is the abbreviation G.O.A.T., which stands for Greyest Of All Time, which is also the "strongest ever" (goat also means "goat"). The first to use the acronym was American rapper LL Cool J (James Todd Smith), who first used the acronym in 2000 as his album title, which later became number one on the charts.

LL Cool J is a Capricorn born on January 14, 1968. Boxer Ali, when he won the championship at a young age, also shouted "I am the strongest!" Ali loved the acronym so much that he began to use GOAT as his signature. GOAT also became the name of a best-selling album about Ali's life published in 2003. When Ali died in 2016, everything about him was associated with the abbreviation GOAT, and the word was frequently used in media reports about him — what a vivid Capricorn code name it was.
Of course, Capricorn's strong ambition to achieve is applicable to any field, often accompanied by a strong will to make sacrifices to achieve an end. The life of Martin Luther King Jr., the leader of the civil rights movement, is the embodiment of this sacrifice. He was the son of a priest and had the same name as his father. His father was a Baptist pastor who preached to the congregations of Atlanta every Sunday. In the segregated American South, pastors are highly respected in the African-American community.
There is no doubt that the young Martin's desire for this respect also reflects the instinctive impulse of a Capricorn son to compete with his father — to accomplish more, and in fact he did. However, Martin Luther King Jr. incorporated the will of the individual into his inner faith as a priest. "I just want to fulfill God's will. He allowed me to climb the peak. I looked far away and saw the Promised Land. ”
Martin Luther King Jr. cites allusions from the Bible to describe the "peak" of his heart, which cannot be more Capricorn. This symbolic statement has an evolutionary connotation, depicting what can be achieved after being forged over time. However, the hierarchical hint is also very clear, that is, a person's journey through various environments to "climb upwards", starting at the bottom of the sea, to the coast, to the seaside town, to the slopes full of olive trees, all the way to the cliffs and summits inhabited by the sturdy goats. It is very appropriate to keep the fish's tail in the Capricorn symbol, which symbolizes the memory of the sea, reminds a person of his past, and how far he has come on the way.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="10" > where Capricorn comes from</h1>
But in the zodiac sign wheel of life, where did Capricorn come from? What kind of experiences have spawned Capricorn's need for achievement? Capricorn was of course Sagittarius before. Sagittarius's whole journey is the pursuit of truth, wisdom, and understanding. But what's next? An amazing adventure has brought a wealth of understanding, and the wise sages have gained satisfaction in teaching others, but it is also natural to start thinking about what all learning is for.
They see their brightest students using what they have learned to make a difference and achieve something in the world. A longing emerged, "I wonder what I could accomplish if I had known everything I know now—if I had been younger, if I still had a chance?" "Pushing the Sagittarius experience to the extreme, if a person knows everything, then he should be omnipotent!" Therefore, after being educated, the soul aspires to achieve a career, to compete in society, and to apply what it has learned.
The world of concepts and theories belongs to Sagittarius, and Capricorn wants to put theory into practice. When many Capricorns choose to give up vacation for work, it is as if they are saying, "I've been there, I've had enough fun," as if the desire to travel has been satisfied in the freedom-loving Sagittarius. That doesn't mean Capricorns don't enjoy their vacations, especially those that bring a sense of identity! It's just that vacations usually come after success, not before, and you don't spend much time on vacations, and once you've regained your energy, you'll head to your next goal.
If you're a Capricorn, there are usually two issues to face. The first topic was about "success" itself. Many of you will ask, "It depends on how you define success, right?" "It's a very good question because success is measured in a lot of different ways. For example, achieving one's personal goals is a success; and having an intrinsic sense of accomplishment is also a success, just as there is an outward sign of success.
Capricorn's intrinsic motivation stems from the fact that its zodiac sign polarity is negative. The polarity of the zodiac 12 constellation alternates sequentially, with yin and yang circulating back and forth, like the polarity of an electric current. Among them, fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) and wind signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are both positive signs, and earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) and water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are all negative signs.
Old astrology books often described masculines as males and feminines as females, but modern astrologers no longer use such misleading nomenclatures. For example, Capricorn is a negative sign, but I'm afraid not many people will think that Capricorn is a typical feminine sign. In China, Capricorn women may also be often seen as "strong women," suggesting that they are like men in their work.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="10" > the silent power of Capricorn</h1>
However, Capricorn's "ability" is not as dazzling and exposed as Leo's ability. The boxer Ali will behave very dramatically because his ascending point is in Leo, not because his sun is in Capricorn. Capricorn people will have a calm and determined strength, often accompanied by a kind of majesty. They all showed a sense of determination when they raised their hands and feet, and their expressions were always serious and determined. While Capricorns may seem stilted or clumsy when inexperienced or insecure, insecure Capricorns always have a kind of silent efficiency. Silence represents an intrinsic process, an intrinsic deliberate trade-off and planning.
I know a Capricorn stage actor who once stood up and applauded him after the curtain, but he looked dejected after retreating backstage. Someone asked him what was wrong, and he said, "I did a terrible job tonight. "But the audience loves you, listen to their applause?" "Yes, but I know how bad I actually am." In this case, the Capricorn actor didn't meet the criteria of success he recognized, even though he won the applause of the audience. However, out of Capricorn's professionalism, he responded to the audience's call and returned to the stage.
The actor is very dedicated and has put a lot of effort into his acting skills. Capricorns have a strong drive to reach a master level in professional ability. Of course, if the audience, like him, felt that his performance was terrible and booed mercilessly, his frustration would undoubtedly be even stronger — even if he admitted that he and the audience agreed. Failure is the other side of success, and the bitterness of failure will leave a long mark on the heart of Capricorn.
The inner sense of accomplishment is the precursor to external recognition. A Capricorn tai chi teacher may prove his skills in competition, but in his heart, the inner self-discipline on which he has long relied has rewarded him with a sense of accomplishment. A Capricorn officer's self-restraint wins the respect of others; a Capricorn head nurse can manage other nurses obediently without raising her voice or commanding; she does what she has to do according to the rules, and others know that they should do it too. Other nurses know because she has set an example by example, and she has been meticulous and has done her job.
These simple examples paint a picture of how Capricorns gain respect in their professional fields. Of course, some Capricorns hide the feeling of failure or failure behind their status, which will definitely help the sales of luxury cars. However, true success is the real reward for Capricorn, although most of you have already begun to work on the next goal when you receive the praise that comes with success.
Success is clearly not limited to careers. A Capricorn father or mother is likely to have a lot of patience to accompany her child through academic problems. Seeing children gradually develop abilities that they did not have before will make Capricorn parents who pay for it experience great satisfaction.
In fact, a few years ago, when I was speaking at the Beijing Film Academy, I was asked why a woman, including the sun, whose stars are in the 10th house of Capricorn, would choose to be a stay-at-home mother and housewife instead of pursuing a career. My response was: "Being a stay-at-home mom and housewife is her career!" Her family is very important to her; this is her definition of success, and her Capricorn "sense of responsibility" is clearly presented in family affairs. Her friends described her as, driven by the drive to run her family, like running a successful company, with everything well planned and efficient.
| Michelle obama
Michelle Obama is another example of a Capricorn woman who has dedicated herself to her husband and family, even though her career achievements surpassed those of Obama at the beginning of her acquaintance. Similarly, her dedication as first lady is also impressive. In fact, many believe Michelle has more managerial skills and political acumen than her husband. In her 8-year career as First Lady, her strength and perseverance became her label throughout.
Another fascinating Capricorn story comes from Legendary Japanese idol, actor, and singer Momoe Yamaguchi. In the eight years since her debut, she has achieved unprecedented success in music and film, becoming a superstar in Japan and Asia, but she announced her retirement for marriage and family. For her, "success" as a wife and mother makes more sense than to receive praise as an actress, which she has already received at a fairly young age.
