I couldn't care less about my career, but my career is the pathway to comfort for my family. I also want them to be well taken care of. I not only work hard, but I also work smartly to advance my career and resources.However, if I can put my family in a Rolls Royce Phantom and then a Gulfstream 520, you are darn right I would, without hesitation. I rather wear Ermenegildo Zegna than Old Navy. And everyone else who calls me materialistic can KMA. Capricorn Sun in the 10th House. Sagittarius on the MC. Jupiter in Aries in the 2nd House. Mars in Capricorn. IP: Logged |

I am and I'm not.It's hard to describe. I actually adore minimalism with buildings and things inside the house. I love the tiny house movement and I'm fascinated by tiny apartments, boat living, RVs. But I love high quality objects, beautiful things. So I might only want one or two serving platters, but I would like them to be the absolute nicest ones I've ever seen, regardless of price. I'm the same about clothes- prefer quality over quantity, but I'm not even that fussy over quality. I shop at thrift stores, who doesn't love a bargain? I love owning a big piece of land. I love some of the toys I have for the kids, I love having certain perfect kitchen tools like a lemon-squeezer and glass teapot. But I'm VERY adaptable. As long as I can get a place clean and smelling nice, I'm not that picky. 6H Cap sun, Taurus SN IP: Logged |

Virgos are known to be hardworking, determined, detail-oriented and analytical. They are driven more by their desire to achieve excellence at whatever they do than by the pursuit of riches, according to astrologer Michael Lutin.
Michael Jackson was pretty rich, too. Malcolm Gladwell, Virgo, has to be very rich by now, he's like The Meme Generator. IP: Logged |

Amy Winehouse has a conjunction between Moon and Neptune (in the sign Sag) and I have an opp between the two. Neptune is in my second house and this explains my attitude toward money and possessions. Easy come, easy go. I am not particularly concerned or ambitious. Too much strain. I am more interested in the immaterial. IP: Logged |

Maybe if I find my own Meme-type idea, I will become rich? It's up to us Virgos to come up with this stuff... IP: Logged |

Capricorns tend to trend toward upper management in life. My Capricorn Aunt is the oldest of four and eventually became an RN where she could boss other nurses. The other family Capricorn is the youngest in her family tho. IP: Logged |

The Virgos that I work with are really grand people with huge personalities.I know a Virgo named Ricky that's always on edge. He's blunt and honest and I love it. I know another Virgo that's really smart. She speaks nothing but sarcasm. She works really diligently, but has a bad habit of worrying about how others are working and carrying out tasks when it's not her place. Another Virgo named Issac is a great tasker. He always buts into other people's conversations but it's okay because he always has insightful commentary. I also work with a Virgo that loves to talk about all of her accomplishments. She has such a soft sweet tone, but will straighten you out rather bluntly but gently in you're outta line. Her Mercury influence is beyond powerful, she'll work on many projects at a time, whether it's blogging or writing a screenplay. She's awesome. IP: Logged |

Capricorn and Virgo are compatible signs that generally get along pretty well. Capricorn tends to take charge.IP: Logged |

I am a Capricorn with no desire to manage anything but my own life.I feel like any sign with heavy Saturn influences are more like an archetype Capricorn than a solar one. IP: Logged |

Capricorns can be eccentric, kinda like Aquarians. Maybe this is due to having Venus or Mercury in that sign since it's right next door to Sun Capricorn? They can have a style all their own that other people either emulate or appreciate. It's a sign with a tremendous amount of potential with it's connection to Saturn and house 10, traditionally associated with the MC tho it is not always there. IP: Logged |

I find the rulers of different signs can overpower a chart's sun if it isn't angular, dominant or laden with aspects. A conjunction or opposition tends to intensify the importance of the sun in a natal chart.

i don't believe in "self made". someone always helps you. i mean sure you worked for it and stuff. Warren Buffet was rich too but nobody questions his legitimacy to wealth. Perhaps it is because he does not have a dog named tinkerbell. i think aquarians have savvy without appearing they do. Ashton Kutcher and his punk'd series.. if you produce stuff u own it and get royalties (seinfeld) anyway ashton is now unassumingly the highest paid on tv. /shrug IP: Logged |

Eccentric is the word. No two goats are alike. You have serious goats, clumsy goats, painfully stylish goats, boring goats. One thing all Capricorns have in common, I've noticed, is the facial expressions. It's like our face doesn't move when we talk, only our mouths. Capricorns are weird. I don't even understand my own kind.

Maybe he got tips on how to make money off show biz from Demi? By self made, I mean, someone spends a great deal of their life attempting to make a lot of money and succeeding at some point. Just because you get a loan from a bank doesn't mean you will be rich if you make lousy investments and lose it. Paris Hilton doesn't fit this description, exactly. IP: Logged |
