The Tao of Astrology
Capricorn Rising When Capricorn the wise hermit is rising, Cancer the nurturing healer is setting. Capricorn Rising’s appearance is formal and often grim, a face with deep frown lines and shrewd eyes that radiate wisdom and authority. They usually have strong earthy, thick bodies or long bony forms. Seriousness and reserve assist this accomplishment-oriented personality. Their characters are usually disciplined, mature, and self-restrained as well as patient and efficient. Of all the Rising Signs, they are the time lords of life. They are here to make a difference in the world through sheer determination and practical effort. Isolation and solitude are essential keys to mastery as far as they are concerned. They must climb their particular apexes alone. In order to rise above the ordinary masses, Capricorn must cultivate integrity and a deep sense of social responsibility. They have to culture their ambition and aim it at life with discipline and organization. They are masters of structure. The planet Saturn by its sign, house, and aspects will indicate further details about the expression of persona for these people. They are deeply attuned to the pragmatic ringed planet. If Saturn is located in Sagittarius in the 11th House they will be more humanitarian and visionary in their quest to unlock the secrets of time. If Saturn is located in Virgo in the 8th House they will be more intense, secretive, passionate and detailed, masters of analysis and research. Overall, the position of Saturn in the birth chart will reveal where al the determination and effort is focused in the individual’s life. The aspects will reveal the challenges and harmonizing influences that color the tide of self-expression. If Capricorn Rising is not expressing identity in a responsible, authoritative, determined manner, then the shadow of pessimism, cynicism, and loneliness pervades the character. Capricorn Rising folks are masters of planning, managing, and organizing events, business and life in general. Without well-defined, definite goals, they can suffer immensely and feel without purpose and alienated. Spiritually, Capricorn Rising exists to generate practical wisdom. The spiritual counselor’s endpoint is to make people face truth and the reality of life so they grow in maturity. With unyielding concentration they can lead others into the depths of the valley of wisdom. They come to master the principle of integrity, of planning their work and working their plan. In communion with others it is essential for Capricorn Rising to drop the hard exterior and adopt the soft, emotional nature of Cancer. With Cancer in the 7th House they would do well in relationships where their protective, nourishing, motherly sides emerge. They are mastering the principle of compassion through interaction with others. Relationships tend to bring out their vulnerable, domestic, sentimental sides. They want to feed and care for others in intimacy. The Moon’s chart position will greatly influence the style of relationship that attracts them. The lunar aspects will indicate if close relationships will be smooth and flowing or difficult and demanding. To actualize the axis of life, Capricorn Rising must learn to blend strict discipline and structure with pure emotion and soulful feeling. The life intent for people with Capricorn Rising is the rebirth of community.
