My Capricorn Profile1

Symbol: Goat - I certainly don't look like a goat or sound like one.

Ruling Planet: Saturn - I would like to visit Saturn or one of its moons.

Element: Earth - I hope so since I was born on this planet.

Cross/Quality: Cardinal - I wonder if this is why I get lost so easily?

Group: Theoretical - I can get a bit dramatic at times.

House Ruled: Tenth - I can count to twenty if I take off my shoes.

Polarity: Negative - That explains the depression.

Opposite Sign: Cancer - Since opposites attract, I guess I should have married a Cancer. Oh Well, it's too late now.

Favorite Color: Brown - Not really, my favorite colors are purple, red, blue, and yellow, but I suppose if I mix them together I get brown.

Lucky Gem: Onyx - I don't know how lucky it is, but I think this is a beautiful stone especially when offset by sapphires, rubies, and emeralds.

Chinese Counterpart: Ox - Isn't that weird, I always thought I was born in the year of the dog.

Strengths: Responsible - sometimes to the point of obsession.
