My
father was a Capricorn farmer who was blissfully happy spending
hot, humid summer afternoons in absolute solitude, meditatively
traversing his acres aboard a tractor. But even in the early
1960s small farms were struggling, so he also drove our school
bus - "to support his farming habit," my mom liked
to say. He did whatever he had to do to make a go of his
farming while supporting his family, working long hours
and odd jobs.
Capricorn
has the vision to imagine the end goal of any enterprise;
the leadership to enjoin others in making it a reality;
and the tenacity and singlemindedness to stay on course
when others would flounder. No one is more resourceful or determined
than Capricorn; he simply will not give up, no matter how hopeless
the situation may appear.
While
the Moon is in Capricorn, envision your legacy. Examine what
needs to be done to achieve your objectives. And then roll up
your sleeves, hop on your tractor, and get to work.
