Everyone knows Sagittarius is the most fun…
Like the half-human, half-horse Centaur, you’re a unique combination of intelligent seeker and party animal. Forget gloom and doom—your optimism is so dang hard to resist! When opportunity knocks, many people wonder if they should answer the door, but you fling it wide open and clasp Mr. Opportunity to you like a long-lost friend. You thrive on activity, ideas, the new, and the unexplored. As much as you love to talk, you express your feelings, including love, with actions. Being around you is like being caught up in an enjoyable whirlwind. If people could have only one friend, they’d want it to be you!
Why you need to see long term, Sagittarius…
You’re always moving—moving on, moving up, moving out. Your achievements are great, but still it’s hard to satisfy your restless soul! You know you could have done it (whatever “it” is) better, right? And boredom could nudge you to switch jobs, digs, or partners, frequently. Your optimism compels you to plow ahead and bite off more than you can chew, heedless of the consequences. And you usually get away with it because you’re so incredibly lucky! But you can’t bank or depend on luck. Lift your gaze and look at the long term. See where you’re going and how you’ll get there!
Sagittarians need this for lasting happiness…
You may just be the most consistently upbeat sign there is, and you can thank your ruler Jupiter for some of that. The rest comes from your indomitable spirit and eternal optimism. You know just what it takes to lead a happy life!
Honesty. You have better things to do with your brain than remember what fib you told to whom!
Power. You know what you’re capable of, and you do it.
Intuition. You could tie yourself in knots second-guessing yourself. That’s why you go with your gut.
Release. You don’t hang on to bad feelings. What’s done is done.
Choice. You choose not to associate with toxic people. Life’s too short!
Are you in touch with your other personality?
All signs have a polar opposite. Capricorn’s is Cancer. But did you know that you actually exhibit a lot of Cancer traits when your hidden personality is triggered and comes out? Think about those times you’ve seemed really out of sorts… that was your inner Cancer!
How can you tell when it’s the true you or your crabby alter-ego? You get really focused on childlike things—play, memories, even children themselves. You want to get in touch with your early roots. Things you once loved but have long discarded.
You may even be strangely drawn to water… so if you’re obsessed with taking a trip to the beach, you better indulge your inner Crab—it pinches!
These common misperceptions disgrace the honorable Goat!
No sign has a cookie-cutter, generalized personality, and you are certainly one special Capricorn! Let’s take a look at the most common negative stereotypes about Sea Goats…
Capricorns are stubborn. Sure, they can be… but that’s because they are so wise. They are also willing to accept when they are wrong because they want to move forward and progress.
Capricorns are cold-hearted. Definitely untrue. They are just not quick to trust and open up their hearts. It takes special people for them to show their very big, loving, soft, sensual side. Once you win a Capricorn’s trust, their compassion is boundless!
Capricorns are cheapskates. They are frugal, no doubt. But unlike *cough* some other more irresponsible and impulsive signs, they buy smart. It’s quality over quantity, and Capricorns also value experiences and other things that money can’t buy.
Capricorns aren’t fun. Yeah, right! Capricorns may be parental, but they are so because they can see life through childlike eyes. No one plays harder than a Goat—when the time and situation are right!
Are Aquarian expectations too high or too low?
All you want out of life is lots of interesting, smart friends, a wonderful partner, meaningful work, everyone to be happy, and the world to be a better place! That would seem like a fool’s dream if you weren’t so dedicated to making it all come true.
You may think that other people aren’t as capable as you, that they don’t measure up to your (extremely high) standards. Look past the flaws (they’re doing the same for you) and see their strengths. Focus on what they have to offer. Learn from the mistakes of others—you don’t have time to make them all yourself!
A key way to prepare for your future NOW…
Robots, self-driving cars, drones that deliver, you love it all. There’s nothing artificial about your intelligence! You not only lean into the future, you want it to be here right now. Like fellow Aquarians Faith Popcorn and Ray Kurzweil, you can see trends so far ahead that other people think you’re crazy (until they happen). You’re as likely to be enthralled with science fiction as science fact. Meld these interests with your humanitarian streak in a job in futurology (yes, it’s a field), and find novel solutions to real global problems. Join the Long Now Foundation and get started!
No other sign is more in touch with the Cosmos…
“Mystical”, “otherworldly”, “visionary”—these are just some of the words people use to describe you! Some say Pisces is a direct conduit to the spirit world, the sign of reincarnation and spiritual rebirth, and that you have lived many past lives. Your sign embodies a longing to transcend this gritty, mundane, earthly existence and swim in an ocean of universal consciousness, a sea of glamour, illusion, and creativity. You can thank your ruler Neptune for that! Your universal perspective gives you compassion. Your challenge is to not slide into escapism but to keep one fin firmly planted in reality!
Can an Aries have it all?
Yes, indeed! There you are, smack-dab in the middle of the action. You’re so confident and self-assured that people probably don’t know that you harbor a few fears (you know it’s true). You just don’t prattle on about them self-pityingly the way some other signs do! All that pressure you put on yourself to succeed can cause some real doubts about how you’re going to do it all. And forget asking for help! Your first, and usually only, impulse is to strong-arm your way through your nerves. And you know what? It usually works!
Why you need to breathe a bit more…
You’re not a perfectionist. You just can’t stop looking for (and finding and suggesting) ways to make things (and people and life) better. Just keep telling yourself that! What sounds like a reasonable suggestion in your head could sound like nagging to another. Your gentle admonishments could come across as rankling demands. We know it’s only because you want others to be all they can be, but unless you’re a recruiter for the U.S. Army, it might come off a bit aggressive and condescending. Cut people a bit more slack. They’re only human!
