1.37 CAPRICORN DECAN
CAPRICORN DECAN
***************
Ruling Planet: Saturn
**********************
First Decan: December 22 — January 1.
Planet: Jupiter
Most of the characteristics of this period conform closely to the description of the cusp of Sagittarius and Capricorn, since the planetary influences are identical. However, those born in the first five days (December 22 – 26) are more strongly Jupiterian. They are very dependable, fair-minded, and of the highest integrity, making the most of their scholarly attainments. Those born later put greater stress on study and are more limited in outlook, with a greater tendency to worry over the future.
Second Decan: January 1 – 10.
Planets: Mars and Venus
Vigor and independence enter into the retiring nature of this sign, but such activity is apt to be impractical and wasteful. Eagerness for action should be subordinated to scholarly pursuits and social life. Venus brings out the best in Saturn, but care must be taken to avoid false friends, as this nature is easily duped.
Third Decan: January 11 – 20.
Plants: Mercury and the Sun
Here, the retiring Saturnian nature is stirred by the Mercurian craving for action, which may take place in small but futile ways. Self-confidence is needed by people of this type in order to gain the leadership they seek. The Sun in their nature gives them dreams of dominance, but they shy from responsibility and either revert to the role of a frustrated Saturnian, or indulge in exaggerated talk. People of this period should seek advancement and make the most of it. Once they have plunged themselves into an opportunity, their path will be plain. Suspicion and skepticism often handicap people of this decan.
