♐︎ Sagittarius
Sagittarius aims at the horizon. In the old reading it is optimistic, freedom-loving and curious about other countries, ideas and the bigger picture. Jupiter, its ruler, stands for growth and meaning. A Sagittarius says openly what it thinks, sometimes more openly than necessary, and cannot bear being hemmed in. Its task is to turn the wide view into a direction it actually takes.
♑︎ Capricorn
Capricorn begins at the December solstice, in the darkest time of the northern year. Tradition gives it patience, a sense of duty and staying power: it climbs slowly, but it reaches the top. Saturn, its ruler, stands for structure, limits and responsibility. A Capricorn often seems more serious than it is and would rather show its feelings through deeds. Its task is to give support without becoming hard.
