But yet I know capricorns like my brother with Cappy in the decan of Venus/Taurus with moon in Taurus who say things such as "life should be a permanent vacation" and I am like wow that is NOT how I view cappys I feel my mother set the tone for how I view capricorns but I need to realize they vary quite a lot and the decan has a lot do with it.

My last supervisor with cappy in the decan of venus was very similar, YES she was hard working and responsible but she was always fantasizing about not working and even though I have zero complaints of her bc she definitely held her weight at our center but she valued more her free time and having fun than her career, again I respect her work ethic 110% but at her core she valued those things more.

For starters capricorns with decan in venus/taurus are definitely more about that play and work balance but based on my conversations with them I think they would prefer to retire and for life to be a permanent vacation, like I am serious.

My father is the exception with cappy in the decan of venus with moon in virgo...he modeled that play and work balance for me but I never got the impression from him that he felt at alll that life should be a permanent vacation, like virgos LIKE working, like we like Working hahahahahaha, yes is stressful but the idea of not working is sooooooooooooooo WEIRD to us.

BUT what about cappy in the decan of cappy...man I don't know many of them but the one guy I knew that falls in this category is actually a total mess but I cannot say I have picked up on a pattern, I don't have enough data on this type of cappy....

I am a VIRGO in the decan of VENUS and yes I need to work but I have a balance between work and play for sure, not a workaholic but dont want life to be a permanent vacation either, feel like my dad more in this regard. I have sun in virgo conjunct MC with virgo in the decan of venus, my father has sun in cappy with moon in virgo and cappy in the decan of venus.

Have you guys made any observations of any sun signs and how they differ based on the decan their sun sign falls in?

Lets think about something else other than coronavirus!

But at it's core my need to work is more connected to my need to feel I have a purpose. I noticed you said in another thread you're a mental health counselor.. can I ask do you enjoy it? Counseling as a career had never even crossed my radar but I'm now in a program that will allow me to do online counseling/coaching with people across the US. Most people's first reaction would probably be to think it's a scam, but it's centered around addiction and trauma (and therefore has recently become open to "survivors" as well as people with an advanced degree) and is accredited by a national board of professionals. 

I have MC in Pisces and my career goals had always been highly murky and altruistic when younger, all I knew for sure was that I hated materialism and greed and just wanted to "help people". But I never expected this might be how it plays out. So even if I "retire" I feel I'll always want to be doing something I can find meaningful. Or maybe at least put some of my money towards social or humanitarian causes.

I definitely fantasize about not working, but I’m actually fantasizing about having passive income that requires little interference from me. It would feel weird and unnatural to not have a job. I like having money too much. I like being able to use and spend that money how I want. Actually, I’m pretty sure that even if I won the lottery, I would still keep a job.

I'll have to think more about the other Caps I know and how this applies to them..

Hello!

I completely respect and admire entrepreneurs and also therapists! Both are awesome!

Online degrees will become increasingly more and more the norm and now more than ever there are a lot of master degree programs out there you can complete ONLINE.

This been said I will give you some advice that I wish was given to me. MAKE sure your online program is CAPREP accredited! This is very important bc to obtain your license your degree has to be CAPRED accredited. If is not you have to submit your education and they will then evaluate it and decide if is CACREP equivalent or not, this will result in them saying your education is not CACREP equivalent until you take some additional courses to meet their CORE content requirements, in other words you will end up having to spend more money on your education after obtaining your degree and be forced to go back to school ect and will make the process of getting your license more annoying! SO make sure whatever online program you register to is a counseling program (not a psychology program) and that is CACREP accredited.

In my field, I could never just quit. But I can climb to the top of it, or reasonably close to it, to make more money and acquire more resources.

this!

I hear you! I am the same, my idea of retiring is working part time

BUT yes my brother and father do have cappy in the decan of venus and they are a lot more RELAXED about career/work stuff, like still responsible but do not get consumed by their jobs, there is something about cappy in the decan of virgo that is a bit compulsive when it comes to their career which makes them rise to the top and get far tbf, cappy in the decan of venus is more relationship centered and less work centered, different in that way from cappy's in the decan of virgo.

Very interesting subject, I am a 1st decan, so that means a Mercury Virgo and if you decide it adds to my 1st house sun in reinforcing the Virgo in my chart, I'm all for it, I love being a Virgo and never have enough but if we read that as having a stronger mercury.... eh, I don't know, as much as I love being aVirgo, I don't think I'm a very good one, I do work a lot, but slowly and not so intelligently, so...
I almost relate more to the old way of assigning decans, it would mean ‘sun’ and since my sun is Virgo, if it means more sun, then yes, it fits, I'm a lot of Virgo in my personality, temper, but not necessarily in the qualities I have, seems to be more those I respect than those I exhibit.

My lost crush is a Saturn Capricorn and he does work a hell of a lot, but mostly has a work that defines his life a lot, I'm very attached to my job, but I also maintain some flexibility (mutability, baby ), he is married to his job in a more practical manner than I am attached to mine.

I have a couple of people at work with the same Capricorn decan and they work, but mostly they take their work quite to heart, it's not just quantity, but quality with them, they drown in work like a reflex and strive for quality, they create their value in their own eyes through how much they go for quality in their work. I relate to that a lot too actually 😊

I love you! We need more Virgos like you! I am wrapping things up at work before we start doing remote from home so will come back later to respond to rest of your post....

People should neither live to work or slave away their lives to live. Balance is good for all of us. And I feel a leisurely pace is best overall -- certainly for me. Modernization and urbanization has sucked us into some bad habits. Old world living with pace and rhythm is in many ways far better for us.

Idk, if I were on my own with zero link to anyone, I wouldn't care much about anything other than having the very basic necessities. But that's not the case. I have friends n family. I like to be able to help when my friends are in need, support, provide and build a cosy life for my family. I take pride in being able to do so.
