ENERGY PATTERN
Each of the 12 Signs of the Zodiac represents specific energy patterns, or modes of expression. They act as modifiers of the elements with which they are associated, be it a Planet or a House. Capricorn is self-discipline and austerity seeking integrity and moral courage.


INFLUENCE OF THE PLANET
Those born under Capricorn and Aquarius are the Saturn type. You have a small head, beady and deep-set eyes, with prominent ears and nose. You have a weak set of teeth, and thin and lifeless hair. Slow in movement, you are conservative and methodical with serious outlook. Deeply faithful, you also have a sense of duty. However, you are not sociable and prefer solitude.


DECAN INSIGHT
Each zodiac sign extends across 30 degree of the Zodiac. These can be further subdivided into three decans of 10 degree each. Therefore, though all those born under a particular sign are classified under the same sign, the decans yield further insight into your total personality.

You belong to the First Decan of Capricorn (December 22 - January 1).
Your ruler is Saturn. Saturn is very powerful at its maximum operative force. This is an ideal decan for engineers, industrialists, contractors, empire builders and politicians. Anything connected with land and houses is to your ultimate financial advantage. A resigned, stoical attitude is also seen.


CAPRICORN LOVE MYSTERY
Capricornians are not the greatest of lovers. They are more the providers, craving security themselves and providing it for their mates. You are really not up to showering attention on people. You are conscientious, but a little too dry for romance. The solid benefits are all very well - such as home, financial security, comfort, position, children - in fact all the good things of life. But there has to be a little romance, a little bit of tender loving care also. Learn to give. Your inbuilt inhibitions need some emotional release. Learn to live life fully. Give the persons in your life attention, reassurance and love also. Just being conscientious is not enough. Get involved with life!


SEXUAL CHARACTERISTICS
Sex plays an important role in the life of every man and woman. It lies at the root of life, and we can never learn to revere life until we know how to understand sex. Indian astrological science attributes certain sexual characteristics to persons according to the sign under which they have been born.

You are ascetic in your ways towards your partner, and in sex as well. You make a good partner, but are rather cold and sparing in your sex life.


AS A FRIEND
You will be faithful and reliable once the initial hurdles are crossed. You are not too polished or very tactful or you may have an unfortunate tendency to snobbery which you ought to try to overcome.
