14. SUPERSTITIONS, OMENS, AND LUCKY SIGNS
*****************************************
Man’s earliest forays into the realm of the psychic probably had to do with portents – good and bad – which seemingly had a bearing on his future. How these arose was often a question; but it seems most likely that the occurrence of some unusual event, followed by another happening, logical or illogical, led to the belief that such a combination would take place again.
If it did, the portent was established, and after a few more repeats it was unlikely to die out. If it failed to deliver, the same type of reasoning caused people to suppose that some antidote had been provided, usually in the case of a counter-spell. This, too, could be the result of chance occurrence. But the practitioners of occult science, as it existed in those early days, were prompt to take credit for it, one way or another.

CAPRICORN — THE GOAT
********************
December 22 – January 21
This is the scholarly, intellectual sign, producing deep thinkers and philosophers, yet with it, Capricorn people apply themselves to practical things. This helps them to shake off the gloomy moods caused by their governing planet, Saturn. As a result, Capricornians are generally regarded as extremists, though often they are simply striving to strike a proper balance.
These people are calm and deliberate in method and action. They approach new subjects in a scholarly fashion and instinctively try to increase their range of knowledge. They are good organizers as well as philosophers and they like to think things out alone. Here, they show the Saturnian love of solitude, which is good when practically applied, but should be avoided if it produces morbid trends.
