Capricorn, the Goat or Sea Goat, is the 10th sign of the Western zodiac. Souls born between December 23rd and January 19th are born under the constellation of Capricorn. This sign, Capricorn, happens to be special to me not only because it is my birth sign, but it is also the birth sign of my son Okapara, who is my firstborn child.
Capricorn is a cardinal sign. In the language of astrology this means Capricorns are concerned with initiating change and setting things in motion. They are initiators! Cardinal signs are the most active and enterprising of the Zodiac.
Capricorn is an Earth sign, meaning they are passive (do not like confrontation), receptive (takes in a lot, very emotional), and introverted (can easily be to him/herself which is great for spiritual purposes). Most children born under Earth signs (Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo) and Water signs (Scorpio, Cancer, and Pisces) are very spiritual and in love with nature.
Capricorn corresponds to the astrological 10th House, which is the House of Business and Career. The 10th House present lessons in life pertaining to the outer environment, business, career/occupation, public life, structure, social order (status quo), social status, ambition, recognition, parents, and authority figures. Capricorns are very business minded, love the idea of entrepreneurship and seem to excel in this area. If you ever want knowledge on how to start and succeed in a business of your own, a Capricorn would be your best advisor.
However, Capricorns can also be narrow-minded, pessimistic, and callous. In addition, they can be slow, stubborn, unyielding, lustful for power, melancholic, and depressive.
Capricorns do well in relationships with other Earth signs due to the many similarities they share, which facilitate compatibility in relationships. So in relationships, Capricorns should first look for a Taurus or Virgo. After Earth signs, Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) would be most compatible for Capricorns. Cancer is actually the most ideal mate for a Capricorn because Cancer is Capricorn's astrological opposite and opposite signs help to balance each other. Cancer will balance Capricorn just as Aries will balance Libra, Taurus will balance Scorpio, Gemini will balance Sagittarius, Leo will balance Aquarius, and Virgo will balance Pisces, and of course, vice versa for all the signs.

Dietary Considerations
The cell-salt or mineral salt for Capricorn is: Calcium Phosphate.
Capricorns should make sure to always get plenty of calcium. Good natural sources of calcium include most green foods (broccoli, parsley, spinach, etc.) and Capricorns will find the following food list most beneficial for the well being of their bodies. Anyone with similar health issues, such as arthritis or skin problems, will also benefit from the following foods.
1. Barley Barley is very high in fiber. It is also high in selenium, which is a liver detoxifier. Both of these attributes enhance the elimination of toxins and aid in the alleviation of arthritis, from which many Capricorns suffer. A half cup of barley in soup or as a side dish a couple times a week will help keep knees flexible for all arthritis sufferers, Capricorn or not.
2. Cloves Cloves are very high in manganese and have anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Extracts from cloves have been used by dentists to alleviate pain and support general dental health. These properties make cloves the perfect Capricorn spice for healthy teeth and knees. Everyone can benefit from this support. Cloves can easily be added to foods and drinks throughout the week.
3. Bananas Bananas are high in potassium and vitamin B6. Eating bananas increases the bodys ability to absorb calcium, essential for healthy bones and teeth. Other properties lower blood pressure and elevate moods. They also are said to reduce pain and stress. Maybe the saying should be, A banana a day keeps the doctor away.
4. Cabbage Cabbage is high in vitamin C and chock full of health aids. It is useful for those with arthritis. Cabbage also has anti-aging properties. Many Capricorns are known to look younger than their age (smile), so this aspect of cabbage will make them exceptionally youthful. Another benefit of this vegetable is that it promotes beautiful smooth skin. All other signs with any of these ailments should be heading to the cabbage patch, too.
5. Celery Celery is a natural source of sodium without all the properties of salt. It is also high in potassium and stops cravings for sweets, making it a great food for Capricorns, as they should forgo sugar for the most part. Besides all the other negative effects of sugar, we dont want any cavities in those beautiful Capricorn teeth. All other signs that want to show off their pearly whites should also start munching on celery.
6. Lamb Lamb may be the perfect and most nutritious meat and source of protein for all signs, not just Capricorns. One 3-ounce serving is loaded with protein, selenium, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins B3 and B12. It is also a prime source of the essential amino acid, tryptophan, which the body uses to produce niacin and serotonin. Lamb is thought to benefit arthritic and skin conditions, reduce anxiety, brighten ones mood, and insure a good nights sleep.
7. Spinach Spinach is an anti-inflammatory, extremely high in vitamin K, that promotes healthy bones. It is also high in manganese, which helps lower blood pressure, making spinach a natural daily addition to the diet of the Capricorn manager. All other executive types in the Zodiac prone to stresses elevating blood pressure should try to get their share of spinach as well.
8. Walnuts Walnuts are anti-inflammatory and high in omega-3 fatty acids, making them very effective for arthritis and skin disorders. They are also high in the essential fatty acid arginine that impedes fat absorption. So these popular nuts may contribute to the fact that Capricorns are rarely overweight. Maybe all the other signs should start having a handful of walnuts for their daily snack.
