Capricorn and Revenge

How Capricorn Handles Revenge

Capricorns tend to repress emotions and avoid overt revenge. Instead, they believe in balancing the scales over time and may quietly take actions to settle scores years later, reflecting their sense of dignity and fairness. Their revenge is subtle and often invisible, aligning with their disciplined and reserved nature.

I quote:
"Capricorn can refrigerate the exterior emotions like no other sign. There will be no communication, no postmortems, no recriminations, no let's-talk'it-through, no teary discplays. But. . .
It may take twenty yeas, it may take thirty years, but paying you back will never be erased from their agenda. They don't believe life is fair and that you will get the comeuppance you so richly deserve. They believe the scales must be balanced. They're not prepared to leave it to karma.
Unlike Scorpio, Capricorns find it unnatural to go around plotting theatrical methods of revenge. It offends their sense of dignity. However, as Capricorns know, the world turns; and if an opportunity to exact revenge should present itself--months,years,or even decades later--then they will quietly do some small invisible thing that turns the life of the Judas from heaven to purgatory..." unquote.
AMAZING. .
It is almost 100% true in my case . I relate strongly to the above; it is as if the writer has been reading my mind all through these years, when I thought I was being 'discretely' plotting my revenge.

I have many Capricorns in my life and NONE of them are anything like that! If anything, they are the ones that get screwed and would rather just wash their hands and be done with it! My sister is 1/5/58 brother is 12/25/58, you can see my mom was very busy that year!!!!

I don't see it that way. I have always told every other Capricorn I know that we don't need to do anything to hurt someone who has hurt us. If you wait it will happen on it's own. Like the old saying....."What goes around comes around".

193, here comes the rest . .
Quote. . . " Remember the 1987 office Christmas party when you humiliated your Capricorn girlfriend by racing off with one of the very junior secretaries? Ms. Capricorn just turned to ice and never spoke one word of recrimination. Okay, maybe she's never given you the time of the day since, but she's never attacked you either. This Capricorn woman somehow worked her way to a position above yours. The company is now restructuring -- and you'll never know that it was Ms. Lucreta Capricorn Borgia who dropped a comment in the right ear at the wrong time and got you vocationally redirected to the unemployment lines.
So now you've been warned. Do not betray or humiliate a Capricorn's trust.
To break up with a Capricorn, be honest, be open, don't recriminate, keep your nose clean, and if you haven't done anything cruel or underhanded, they may well remain a reliable friend for the rest of your life." unquote

Oh, I am like that! I recall an instance where one guy mistreated me so badly (a Pisces-ugh!)that I arranged one come-back on him. Gee, it felt good for the moment getting that upperhand. I apologized later and he sure was mad as heck! But y'know what? I sensed he needed to feel how I felt. (Well, maybe he did or didn't, who knows? We no longer speak of course).
I suppose it has something to do with that 'control' aspect they say we Caps have. We like to have the 'last word' perhaps? I don't know, but I have a Scorp rising so....he-he. Seriously though, we aren't as cruel..we can be cool and aloof, but cruel? Naaah!

That quote was retrieved from a book I also happen to have called "Seduction By The Stars- an astrological guide to love, lust and intimate relationships". (yes, we Caps are forever reading). I bought it on Amazon.com. It's great reading I must tell you. It discusses the Lure of the sign, how to Interest that sign and how to Seduce that sign...examples and techniques included. Excellent for bedtime reading!!

24, not exactly plotting openly. I would just keep on rewinding the events in my mind and 'wish' the person who hurt me then would get the taste of his own medicine. Some of these people were in my life, as mentioned in the excerpt some 30 years ago. It is just that I 'visualize' how that person could be doing now, and wish he feels AS hurt, now, as I did then, or now, as a result of his 'mistreating' me. I don't usually take actual steps toward hurting them really, but I sure don't wish they are happy and contented especially if I feel that they are/were responsible for my misery at any particular time. One pisces, used me when I didn't think so, until I realized years later , and sent some 'evil' thoughts toward him. Needless, something very bad happened to him, a while later thereafter. I got my 'equal' revenge. And this goes on with almost everyone who hurt me at any time in my past. It work EVERYTIME.
Do you know what I am talking about?

I would usually play fair, having thought the pros and cons, and decided if the person REALLY intended to hurt me when he/she did or it was in fact me....!
I guess enough years would have passed to weigh the 'situation' for sure, lol, taking into consideration how the person may physically look now and thus 'visualize him/her, accordingly, and send a thought.

I'm a pisces and I am soo sory that you were hurt by my fellow sign mate, but I will say that being a fish I have noticed that any wrong doing by someone to ME has always backfired on that very person. See, I choose not to get even, even if deep down inside I really wanted to. I simply think that my angels were there listening to my every cry and chose to fix that person for their own life lesson. Life is toooooo short to have or hold on to any ill feelings. It is not only toxic but it only makes your load heavier to carry. Only when we are able to really forgive do we then recieve our own blessings.

It seems to me that you all have moved on in your life and seem quit content on your current life path. Good luck and thoughts to you all.

I have known many Caps in my life and have been in relationships w/2 Caps in my life and NONE of them have ever struck me as the vengeful type. As a matter of fact I've always SEEN THEM WALK AWAY if anything cuz they really "can't be bothered w/such...SUCH!? (I'm at a loss for words! As a Sag U can believe it or not? But it's the god/goddess awful truth! LOL)

IMO they are a peaceful sign. My mom & bro R Caps and I've been in a relationship w/2 and THEY ALL SEEM TO BE & THINK THE SAME!!—

"64.12

Now how the hell is that possible? Your mother had a baby one day, and then had another about 10 days later? That's kind of rare, don't you think?"

Look at that, ya see? They were already to pounce on me and nail me!

Are you saying I make this stuff up?LOL

i'm a cappie and all cappies i know, myself included are much more likely to walk away than try to avenge... i personally can't be bothered... if someone somehow does wrong by me well, that says alot about them... nothing about me..... i usually don't waste another second even thinking about them...

Well, guys, don't be fooled by the exterior collectedness of the cappie subject.
The 'silent treatment, the 'cold shoulder', and 'piercing gaze' are just a few 'techniques' of 'revenge' these folks use, and I have even experienced first hand the effects of these technics from other cappies, whether they were being consciously or unconsciously utilized. So never underestimate the power of a capricorn. Better yet, don't try their patience....!

I knew a Capricorn male who was a arrogant, self-important, callous, abusive, a cheapskate though he claimed to have taste,a manipulative cheating jerk. He had a harem of women always in the wings.
He told me he had thoughts of me after one of a string of failed relationships.
Over the course of the next few months he continually made condescending remarks and insults he passed off as jokes tpward me. He never took me anywhere nice
and my self-esteem eroded. Finally, when I had enough of this deteriorating behavior I called him on it and he said he had never had feelings for me like he did for his other relationships and while I was breaking it off with him he said he was
already talking to another girl, he said this in a laughing way. I have never met such a self-satisfied, evil, destructive callous creep and he wasn't even good looking nor very successful. Sure I wished he would drop dead but now I think that whatever harm he has caused to all the women who have had the misfortune to meet him will come back and bite him in the ass. One can only hope.

This is true and exactly what I was thinking. As for myself I always secretly wish that the person who hurt me will be hurt worse then I was...I always want them to suffer like I did, If you've humiliated me I want you to be humiliated and if you've crushed me I want you to be crushed. I don't vocalize it but silently in my heart that's what I expect to happen. I walk away with out much fuss and sit back for however long it takes and wait for Karma to catch up and tag that as#. I think we are so kind that it's appalling when someone hurts us.

Hmm, I would disagree. The satisfaction one receives from revenge can be just that...pure satisfaction. I have sought revenge and the satisfaction I've received from that still makes me smile to this day when thinking about it.

Revenge doesn't always take a lot of time. Sometimes, the right opportunity can come along and with a little flick of effort, the ball gets put into motion.

Oh this is so me!!!! I don't think many people know this about Caps! I am still waiting for my revenge on a former "friend" who backstabbed me...oh, 8 years ago now! Oh, she'll get hers one day - I'm so looking forward to running into her but the opportunity still hasn't presented itself since she lives in the south...but I'm not losing sleep over it. Revenge sure is sweet! Muhahaha! *Rubbing hands together in glee*
