(Sasha Fenton)
Capricorn is an Earth sign, which is also cardinal in nature, and this implies the desire to make things happen plus the determination to make sure that they do. Capricorn is also feminine / negative in nature which implies introversion and shyness. This is a sign of short ascension which means that, as far as births in northern latitudes are concerned, there are not many of you about.
Traditionally, Capricorn rising, or for that matter the presence of the planet Saturn, on the ascendant denotes a difficult birth. One could theorize that because Capricorn is associated with old age, you will have been through a number of previous incarnations, and knowing what is ahead, you don't want to go through it all over again! Whatever the theory, the evidence is that your mother's labour was protracted, painful and dangerous. In the case of one of my Capricorn rising clients, she was born fairly easily - in an ambulance half-way across Ealing Common in the middle of one of the worst bombing raids of the war.
Many Capricorn rising subjects are born to older parents who didn't want, or expect, to have a child at such a late stage of their lives.
The sign of Capricorn is traditionally assumed to be a sad one indicative of a life filled with limitations and hard lessons to be learned. There is some truth in this idea, but the problems are more likely to stem from difficult circumstances than from cruel or unloving parents. This emphasis on hard circumstances is the benchmark of this rising sign. You may ahve had a difficult relationship with your parents, but this is most likely to be because they themselves were up against hard times. One of your parents, probably your father, may have been a distand figure, either because he was naturally reserved and withdrawn or because his work took up a lot of his time. Your mother might have been strict, but not unreasonable or uncaring towards you. Circumstances dictated that you remain quietly in the background, making very few childish demands and behaving in an adult manner while you were still very young. I always think of this as an old-fashioned sign, because it is associated witht he kind of childhood experiences which were far more common in years gone by. This ascendant is probably found more often in third world societies where opportunities for happiness or for creativity in childhood are still unobtainable luxuries.
During your childhood, your parents may have been short of time and money. Ther may have been too many mouths for them to feed, together with financial setbacks or family illness. You may have had a parent or a sibling who had some form of physical or mental handicap. You could have had an early introduction to the sadder side of life by losing a family member in a particularly tragic manner. This rising sign is the stuff of which all those best-selling 'family saga' books are made.
There is another quite different but still typically Capricorn scenario affecting some with this ascendant, which is that your parents themselves had risen from obscurity to become positively wealthy. If, indeed, one or even both of your parents were especially successful or courageous in some way, you may have considered this too hard an act to follow. The effects of this childhood could have led to a number of reactions on your part depending upon your basic nature. One possibility is that you did actually follow in their footsteps, while a second is that you gave up the unequal battle and dropped out altogether. A third possibility is that you followed a completely different path, finding values which are equally valid but quite different from those of your parents.
Even in the best circumstances, life was difficult for you. You were shy and withdrawn, and inclined to hang back and let others step forward and take all the glory (or make total fools of themselves). You had little confidence in yourself and may have been afraid of something or someone, either because there was a genuine threat to your safety or as a result of vague fears and phobias. You were finely-built and small for your age, being completely unable to compete with larger, tougher children either on the spoerts field or in any kind of physical violence. You were a delicate and timid child, a worry to your parents and hard for them to bring up. The fact that you survived at all says a lot about your inner resources of courage and determination; you didn't give up on life then, and have been fighting to overcome difficulties ever since.
In childhood you could well have been dominated or controlled by one or both of your parents; you were certainly taught the value of self-control. This is a very useful technique in most circumstances, but it can cause problems when you try to enter into relationships later on. On the one hand, you may try to control your future partner; on the other, you may find yourself in a relationship with someone who dominates and controls you in the same way that your parents did. Much as you hate the idea of destroying a relationship, you will have to do so if you find yourself a victim of tyranny.
Bearing in mind racial differences and variations in birthcharts, the chances are that if you have Capricorn rising you will have rather bony features, with high cheekbones, large eyes and a nice, if slightly toothy, smile. These well-defined features could make you extremely good-looking and incredibly photogenic in a 'Garboesque' way or, if the bonyness is extreme, it will make you appear craggy or 'hawk-like'. There is a characteristically Capricorn smile which turns the corners of your mouth downwards rather than upwards, whilst at the same time lighting up your eyes. Your hair is your worst feature, because it is sparse, fine and of a nondescript colour. Men with this rising sign become 'thin on top', while women spend a fortune in the hairdresser on perms and hair colourants, while cursing this ever-present bane of their lives. Your height and physique is small-to-medium. You could put on a little weight as you get older, but, generally speaking, you will remain perhaps just a little below average in height and weight. You choose conservative clothes which might be either city-smart outfits or something cheap and cheerful, according to your lifestyle and your pocket. To be honest, you don't give much attention to your clothing unless you have a special occasion to dress up for.
You are naturally retiring and are the last person to push yourself to the forefont in any kind of new situation. You appear calm, quiet, gentle and modest in social situations, whilst in business situations you are formal and businesslike. The signals you send out to new acquaintances are gentle, kind and practical. You rarely express your feelings publicly, and are a past master of the art of being non-committal. You are not in the least unfriendly; indeed, you go out of your way to make others feel comfortable, but you are reserved. Your dry sense of humour is always a delightful discovery to any new acquaintance; and your genuinely non-hostile approach to the world ensures that you are surprisingly popular. However, this popularity can vanish under certain circumstances. You are a good conversationalist partly because you usually have something interesting to talk about, but mainly because you are a good and caring listener.
Capricorn Ascendant
(Frances Sakoian and Louis Acker)
Discipline, systematic endeavor, hard work, and patience are Capricorns' characteristics. Everything they do has a purpose, and is designed to achieve some definite practical aned. Capricorns are serious, austere, somewhat melancholy, and reserved.
With Cancer on the 7th house cusp, they are strongly attached emotionally to their spouses and partners. However, the fact that their partners also are often emotionally dependent on them presents problems at times. Capricorns are, moreover, emotional about their relations with the public and with dear friends whom they regard as members of their family.
Venus trine Pluto (Robert Pelletier)
Your Venus trine Pluto enables you to enjoy the highest creative experiences that love can bring. You derive spiritual benefits from personal contacts, and you stimulate others to emulate your attitude about love, which benefits them too.
You will control your ardent love nature until your intuition signals that you have found a suitable partner for creative expression of your passion. You may have love interests, which can be more romantic than real love, but when you meet the one special individual, you will respond with undeniable persuasiveness. The chances are good that the feeling will be mutual. There is a quality of fate in the chance encounter that defies all logic; this love will grow until you both feel as one.
You can be extremely effective in teaching others about moral and spiritual values and how to enrich their lives by adhering to the highest ethical standards. Young people especially will relate to you; you can teach them to stand on their own feet, secure in their values and commitments and in their eagerness to be loving in spite of adversity.
Any profession that you follow, you will be dedicated to. You are honest and would probably quite your job if you had to bend your ethics in performing it. Some fields that are especially suited to your capabilities include investment, insurance, financial management, and sales. Selling would be especially rewarding because your sincerity would encourage customers to buy your product. You could also function well as an analyst because you can focus on people's needs. You are understanding, sympathetic, and yet strong enough to persuade people to accept your suggestions for their own good.
You have a quality that is essential to success - you believe in yourself and in the potentials of others. Your basic integrity is solidly founded. You could make a substantial contribution to society through government service or political activity, probably in the financial management of someone in office or seeking it. You could also find satisfaction in working for the Internal Revenue Service or as a private citizen conducting your own tax service. It would be difficult for anyone to pull the wool over your eyes because you are keenly perceptive of dishonesty.
Whatever course you follow in your pricate and your professional life, you will be amply rewarrded for your efforts. The love principle you project to all has the peripheral effect of bringing abundance into your life. This aspect usually means you will inherit something, and it is almost a certainty that you will be named in someone's will because of your unselfish contribution.
Mercury opposition Neptune (Robert Pelletier)
With Mercury opposition Neptune, you are imaginative and creative, and have high aspirations. However, you are easily distracted by people who challenge your efforts to express yourself. In competition, you may even begin to doubt your own abilities. You are naive in many instances and fall victim to the subversive tactics of competitors. Your dreams are unrealistic, and you are unable to accept the abrasions of your experiences with dignity. Defeat may cuas you to become paranoid, imagining conspiracies against you. Let others justify themselves to you, and learn to distinguish fact from fiction.
Your professional interests should be accomplished through self-employment. It is too risky for you to work or compete professionally with others. As a creative individual, you can find gainful employment in writing, art, music, or dancing, which do not necessarily involve working with others. Medical research is particularly appropriate for your talents. Also it would give you isolation from the destructive qualities you bring out in others.
With your appreciation of the finer things in life, you need to be free of artificiality in your way of life. You sometimes recoil from challenges because they would disturb the serenity you desire and find so difficult to achieve. You are easily threatened, and your self-confidence is undermined.
Your personal relationships are sure to be unusual because of the variety of individuals who interest you. A constant disbeliever, you are suspicious when anyone claims to love you. You alienate many possible romantic associations becaues you fear someone may be trying to take advantage of your weaknesses. You could deprive yourself of much happiness if you interpret innocent and sincere gestures as attempts to exploit you.
Make an honest effort to understand human nature, and be willing to make a sincere contribution in serving others.
Mercury square or opposition Neptune (Charles Carter)
This configuration usually indicates an astute and cunning type of person, capable of deep scheming and in fact hardly ever able to avoid some degree of deception, though not necessarily for evil purposes. Sometimes the deception is of a quite innocent order.
It is probable that this characteristic arises from the delicate perceptions of the aspects, which enable the native to divine what others will do or try to do. It is employed in this way in the more positive types of birth chart. In negative types, the same sensitiveness leads to a retired life, often combined with an amiable disposition.
Sometimes it leads to easy discouragement and lack of self-confidence, because the native is too thin-skinned and worries unduly. Sometimes the same sensitiveness causes fierce outbursts of resentful anger. Like all Neptunian aspects, it is not easy to say in what precise way the contact will manifest; much will depend on the rising sign. It is clear that lack of real self-confidence may easily induce a person to resort to deceit.
Active imagination and the insight into motives that results from sensitive perceptions may be invaluable to a man of genius or even a man of practical sense; but in the case of persons of weak judgement and understanding the same things may lead to all kinds of foolish and morbid fancies.
i noted a square from pluto to mars or mars to pluto, as u prefer; here is from robert pelletier:
the square from mars to pluto provides u with an overly forceful nature; u are inclined to be extremely aggressive in pursuing your desires, and your behaviour is often foolish and reckless; if u assume that u can assert your will on others without impunity, you may discover later that you have created a problem you can t handle; the embarassement of such an incident can make you angry, and you may even resort to physical violence in retaliation;
when frustrated, u can become abusive, which will cause problems in your relationships with others; the results may be domestic difficulties and antagonism from your superiors, which could jeopardize your income; you must learn to curb your temper under stress, or you will bring yourself more grief than any temporary satisfaction would warrant; once u learn this, you will find that you can accomplish what you wish because of your courage, determination, persistence, and self-driving ambition;
you have a highly developed but unrefined sex drive; when your advances are rejected, u overdramatize and exaggeratethe importance of the incident; the sexual drive is significant, to be sure, but you need to assess its value in relation to your total life direction; make sure it is balanced by other facets in your relationships with people;
wheb you are unhappy with disagreeable elements in your environment, examine these elements realistically, not emotionally; get someone else's opinion and then submit the problem to a person with the authority to do something about it; if you attempt to take matters into your own hands, they will only get stained in the process;
a final word - try to be for a cause with the same enthousiasm you show when you are against something; love works wonder in getting people to work voluntarily with you; resist issuing ultimatums when you run into resistance.
