everything is going wrong

any caps going through the same thing. It seems like everything is going wrong with me...career plans to be more specific. I've been unproductive, my place is a mess (well to me it is, usually it is spotless). I don't feel like going out lately. is this a normal capricorn traits when they are unsuccesful. The love department is not doing well either, but I'm not as sad about that. 😢 gosh i want to cry right now....

I am going to have my moment of sadness, then get back up again. I went out last night with some friends, but I had to force myself.

it sure did lighten me up! lol. Thanks outcast!

It appears to me that "sadness", feeling gloomy is a common emotion with Capricorn women .. it's something that gets talked about often in dxp by Cappy females.

Why? What is it?

Is it a fear of uncertainty, like you mentioned?

Because Cappy's are earth-bound, so there's a certain dependence on everything being solidly stable .. so because life can be ambiguous this triggers a dose of emotional depression?

Hhhhhmmmm .. very interesting, we are complex creatures, aren't we?
So, this description sounds like you?

When reading this an impression was left in my mind resembling Dukkha, which is the first of the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism ....

All existence is Dukkha, which is a problem within existence itself.
The word "Dukkha" variously translates to .. suffering, anguish, pain or unsatisfactoriness. The Buddha's insight was that our lives are a struggle, and we do not find ultimate happiness or satisfaction in anything we experience .. because the reality of life, itself, is in error because human tendency is to blame life, and it's difficulties on things outside of ourselves. So, our tendancy to grasp things (or push away) places us fundamentally at odds with the way life actually is ======= Dukkha === we are born within the error of life, itself.


Curious .. they say that Buddha was the last of the Great Avatars, but, his insight has the Goat written all over it .. I'll bet you he was a CapMan in spirit. The Anti-Messenger is suppose to be a Pisces (representing Death) .. so, there's an Aqua out there still to embrace.

If a person has not, as an adult, broken the psychological umbilical cord to ?Mother,? he is still waiting for somebody to love him. He cannot become an authority, develop an ?inner father? in his own right, and must continually depend on someone, something external to himself to set limits, make rules, take control.

--------------------------

Wow, that really says a lot. So, if we all have a mission in life to overcome to gain our full-life potential, this sounds like it would be Capricorns.

Question: Do you work on overcoming this, or is it just an inherent fear/insecurity that you know is there, but, feel helpless to heal?

I ask this because Pisces also has a tremendous obstacle that is a life-lesson in which 99% of us don't even realize exists consciously .. so we know not that this is an answer for inner peace .. yet, on an unconscious level it is ingrained into our pscyhe's to respond/react off of. So, I'm curious that since you are aware of this problems existence within you ... do you work towards trying to break this umbilical cord that ties you to feeling at mercy to outside forces.

So, this cord isn't a weakness or obstacle at all, if it makes you feel happy, whole and enabling ... it's your safety-net. It's what you use to build off of to make you stronger, better.

Hmmm, very interesting .. makes me look at the Piscean weakness in a different light, all percieved weaknesses in a different light.

If we have no safety-nets, then we're always at risk of diminishing .. and perhaps the true test for our continued existence is being able to pull strength out of what would appear to be a short-coming.

An inequity can be the power, and not the disparaging flaw .. I guess I can relate to that .. when Pisces swim deep into their waters, it is to find strength for re-surfacing, NOT a defeat in which wounds have to be licked.

So, being sad is your life's building blocks for personal growth.
