The goats/Capricorn's are made to be hard on themselves to obtain what they want. Ironic, huh?

Edit to add that Caps take their responsibilities very seriously, and that means being a parent is just as important as any other job they have--even more so--because sitting in the sandbox with their wee ones is as important as completing those work budgets and such. Caps know that quality time with kids is way better than quantity time.

I think a lot of Caps are fearful at heart - I am, anyway. Letting others down or failing in some way is the WORST fear, and always feels like it could happen at any moment. Even when something goes wrong that is out of my hands, I take the responsibility. I have always done this.

Being hard on ourselves is a way to counteract this feeling. I think for some Caps it can manifest the wrong way and become a need for total control. It's a lifelong thing to adapt to this, without letting control-addiction take over.

Then again, astrology is one of my main interests in life, and always has been. So this is the career I don't get paid for, yet.

The famous people I share a birthday with are mainly poets, artists, musicians, philosophers. It's not a "took on the corporate world and won" kind of birthday. When I had corporate jobs, I was just confused about the underlying meaning of the entire business...is it ethical? Necessary? On the right track?

It's hard for me to even push a pencil for a conglomerate force that I feel is going in the wrong direction for planet earth and its critters.

Definitely have my failures and limitations but what matters to me more than anything (possibly too much) is having a really strong emotional and mental connection with my kids.
Making sure they are happy.

I was musing aloud about possibly going into counseling work sometime, and my oldest son said, "That would be perfect for you, you're already a GREAT counselor to us," and the other kids agreed. And that felt like someone just handed me a big trophy. But there is so much more to parenthood than that. Like forcing my kids to eat their vegetables, when my Pisces moon is looking at their sad little faces and wanting to set them free of their broccoli. I have to be the vegetable nazi but I really hate that. So it's just a delight that my kids DO love some healthy foods like sushi and salad and fresh fruit. Whew....

Faith, you sound like a good mother to me! I wish I had a mother like you.

Randall, I agree, I feel like Capricorns are very underappreciated, we are really great people and are often toted stereotypical as cold, one-dimensional and heartless. However, that's far from the truth, we are so diverse and have really big hearts.
