Capris and stinginess...
""They're practical, know what they want, and get it""
Oh yes, as long as they take from others and don't share what they have, it is all fine!
Capri friend came to my house, saw my daughter's toys and said OMG you spent all this money buying toys from your daughter?
UN-believable!
Anyway, they keep saying they have no money at all, I bet their bank account is bursting to the seams, meanwhile they will find a way to get a free lunch somewhere because they feel so poor…
And why is it a stupid question?

Posted by Goldfishnot really. especially to their loved ones, they're very generous.
Is it my impression or my own experience with Capris (women) or are they stingy as hell?
Gosh, the do take advantage of others don't they? I am generous, can't stand stinginess…I trust the universe will provide and I love to share. The more I share the more I have to myself.
Why can't Capris understand this basic concept?
I need examples.
Posted by GoldfishProbably because they feel like you expect them to pay your way. People take advantage and I nip it in the bud.

I'm extremely generous with people I care about. Though some people don't have a concept of frugality and are financially irresponsible. That's when I draw the line.
Posted by GoldfishWhy should we have to share? Why can't you get what you want on your own?

Posted by Reincarnationi wonder if a man who is a Scorpio sun that has dominant capricorn in the chart....would they be inclined to be stingy at times?Posted by cheekyfaerieIt's not a stupid question.
*sigh*
We take care of those that are closest to us. Those who matter most. We don't waste our time, energy or money on people we don't trust to stick it out for the long haul.
I have Aqua Venus. Not only do I take care of those that matter most, I'm also more likely to take soup to the homeless guy on the corner before I lift a finger for a mild acquaintance.
Our sun makes us appear stingy to most people because most people can go feck themselves. The rest of our charts provide the seasoning. The wrench in your whatta cunt theory.
Yes - they are very stingy. My mother is one; trust me - I know.
Or when my mother gave me money for graduate school, but a day later came back to me for a debt that exceeded the money she just gave me.
I could go on and on with stories.
And respect is very important to these women. Perhaps more than love. I called my mother stingy once and she really disliked it.
My Scorp father is most generous though. God - I love that man. Best father ever.click to expand
if of course stingy is a cap trait.
does your faher have cap?
my husband was raised by a capricorn woman, but weirdly he didnt turn out stingy. I wonder what happened there.
oh i almost forgot, my own father and all my uncles/aunts on his side were raised too by a capricorn woman (my grandma), he did turn out stingy. lmao (cap and aqua in his chart with Scorpio ) 😆 but weirdly his other brothers and sisters vary, some stingy some generous. what the hell happened— why are some children stingy and some arent?? 😕

ok, let's give examples. i love examples.

Posted by Vixen2oh thanks for that. I wondered about scorpios with strong cap in their chart (personal planets especially) or stelliums.
My boyfriend was a Scorp with a Cap moon and was like a financial wizard and he too was very discerning with money, scrimped, saved, and was pretty stingy with money as well but on the other hand was extremely generous with his time- spending lots of his time helping people out whether it was fixing their cars, researching information, etc...
so more generous with their time, and helping their loved ones.
Posted by Vixen2it sounds like she might feel like she's being taken advantage of, if you dont appreciate her. I have cap in my personal planets, so i can see where she's coming from.
My mother is a Cap. She is a penny pincher to the extreme. She is generous with her family and people she loves but then turns it right around and reminds you forever exactly what sacrifices she made to help you out. I never ask her for help...ever. But that doesn't stop her from then playing the victim and saying how hurt she is that her family isn't close as she would " give any of you the shirt off my back."
although i dont like the sound of that, where you have to harass your children and loved ones about your sacrifices. I admit i would probably do so only if i knew i was taken advantage of, and they forgot me. I would be very very hurt and in pain if they didnt love me back alot, and all they wanted was my generosity and take and take and dont appreciate me. I appreciate my husband's generousity and love, so naturally i'm very giving and selfless with him. It goes without words.
Posted by caprigoraloh that's like my mother in law!! she's very generous too with her friends as well as family. she will go out of her way to be with her loved ones if they are in pain, suffering going through problems.
My mother has nothing in Capricorn nor any Earth. She's very stingy. She'll act generous for a while, but then remind you of what you cost her/owe her. a former gf of my brother and I have felt the worst of this.
For all of my Cancer/Cap Full Moon SIL's flaws, she's not stingy. Right now she's going through a phase where she can best afford to help people and she doesn't keep track or expect anything in return. I used to be the same way in my single, working days. If I was out with friends, it was such a joy to treat everyone and I loved and still love giving presents and I don't expect anything in return, because one should give because it feels right and you want to make the other person happy and show how much you care/love them and taking care of people and being generous seems to be a very typical Cap/Earth way of showing we care/love.
she even spent time with her best friends, during their suffering when they were going through chemotherapy. Also with her sisters and brothers when they were going through pain. They look at her like a ROCK. someone they can trust.
Caps can be careful with money, unless you are in need, and careful with time. In that way, maybe we are stingy.
On the other hand, I have a different view of stingy than the examples posted. Imo, stingy people lay back with folded arms and sit on their resources, of any kind...money, knowledge, time...and refuse to share.
If anything, I think Caps are stingy with time.

i have experienced the 2 extreme types of capricorns.
there were these 2 cap real estate brokers who were real sharks. I highly doubt that they would be generous to anyone including their families by just looking at their faces lol. and they were partners lol
on the other hand, my cap mom with leo moon is the most generous mother among all the mothers I know. her siblings used go to her for free meals when they were young and my mom was/is the best cook on this planet. since I left home for college long long time ago, even after I became financially independent, she would randomly ask me on the phone whether I need money and how much should she wire lol. she didn't mean it as a loan by the way lol. she does the same to my brother and now to my niece. my scorp is often amazed by how generous my family is (my mom does most). every time we went on vacation with my parents, they wouldn't let us pay.
my cap bff with virgo moon is also very generous. when I was breaking up with my ex years ago, she asked me how it went. I told her this joint investment we had together was down the drain so it'd take time to deal with it. she suddenly offered "how much do you need? i can give u a free loan" LOL never knew any other friend who would voluntarily offer a free loan without being prompted lol . i was shocked and thanked her but said don't worry about it. i told her i mentioned it only because she asked and i can handle it myself. i'd never borrow even $ 20 from a friend without returning immediately so i was thinking to myself "you gotta tobe kidding me" lol
i guess I'm just lucky that the ones close to me are generous 😉 well not "i guess". i know that for a fact lol

@ cheeky
yeah, i almost told her "hello?? are you all there— are you a Capricorn—" lol 😛

Posted by ArriusYeah we are very frugal. I mean in this crazy world anything can happen. Many just want to never be without.
I can hardly believe that I am saying something in defense of Capricorns (who need no defending), but I see them as "obsessively frugal" rather than "stingy."
Remember the story of "The Grasshopper and the Ant"? Well, Cappies are the Ant, and they see all the rest of us as the Grasshopper.
And I'll say this as well: when they do decide/offer to help (or give something), they follow through. At least the ones I have dealt with always have.

i'm frugal too, but in a way that we have a "Set" rate for each week. lol
don't spend beyond that, kind of thing. like groceries, things we need, ect. necessities. And i do look in the newspaper ads and coupon shopping stores/grocery store ads for special deals.
just last week, they had a wonderful special deal on 4 boxes of laundry pads for a price of 10 euros!!!! omg. squeals!!!!
and it's a good brand. Not the cheap ass brands.
that is the kind of frugality i am talking about.

examples.
well the pods i got weren't "tide"
but it was a good brand. It's a brand you dont get in the U.S.
and i use only natural softener with NO perfume.
the one time i used perfumed softener it was awful. My family hated it. The only reason i got it was because it was a good brand, and it was on sale. lol
so i thought, well, i never use this type, but it's a good, trusted brand, so i bought it.
it was a mistake,.
my husband complained that his dress shirts and jeans and pants smelled like he was wearing perfume. lol
so i stopped using it. Plus, it would cause an allergic reaction. I never got those again.
the softeners i use have NO perfume additives and it's very natural.

even for the dishwasher.

i thought about going this:
Posted by Koniuchaoh nice!!
I like that site.
I use this recipe for laundry detergent
http://wellnessmama.com/462/homemade-laundry-detergent/
as for soap nuts, you can buy it online.
http://www.buysoapnuts.com/
wow it's actually very inexpensive.
http://greenerlivingstore.com/
one of my husband's best friend went to the U.S. to travel for a couple of months with his girlfriend, and he noticed that the wines in the U.S.are much more expensive than in Europe.
(i'm not talking about cheap wine)
so a nice glass of wine /or bottle of wine is 2x more than you get. which is odd because he visited California and they have wineries there.
here, you can find wines and beer for half the cost and it's good quality:

Posted by Koniuchaoh i dont like beer myself, i hate it.
I really don't like wine. I have tried to drink it, but can only sometimes.
I prefer beer.
the only beer i like is the zero % , which is sweet, but it's supposedly beer.
i like it cause of the sweetness, and has a malty flavour.
i only like dry wine and occassionally sweet wine (chardonnary) with dinner. but only one glass.
