"I use."

This is listed as the Capricorn motto in many descriptions. I am very curious to hear from both sides: Capricorns, and how they feel about this, and people that may have felt used by a Capricorn. I have seen two Capricorns together doing what someone else may consider using one another, but they are seeing it as resourcefulness. I would really like to learn more about this.

Are hard boundaries necessary with Caps? Do they respect this?

Thank you.

"I use" you to take of my issues with the idiots down the street. Best example.

Why is this always associated with us using people?

I use - I use my resources before relying on other people. I use the sweat of my brow to climb to the top. I use proven ways and means to achieve a task. I use my independence to accomplish things on my own. I use my humor to deflate a situation. I use my own thoughts to make a decision.

What I don't do is use other people.

Per https://www.astro-counseling.com/Sun% 20Signs/Capricorn% 20Personality/capricorn.html

"in defense of the Capricorn, I use means you are the experts at using whatever available resources are at hand and making use of them. In other words, like Martha Stewart, they can see that a discarded egg carton, large tin can, excess carpet pieces, whatever, that can be utilized towards more efficient, and useful productivity. And so, this “I use” talent works incredibly well from running a business to figuring out how to feed and clothe 5 kids on a very limited budget."

"I use" in regards to capricorns using people is a misconception.

Virgo motto = "I'm here to be used"

You can imagine a grand trine in Earth is some seriously x-rated filth.

That's not what I've seen with any Caps I've encountered...which is why I ask.

True. I've seen this.

I know of 1 using his gf for gifts, stability, safety, and his side bitches for sex, to feed his ego and insecurities. Tried to make me his main when I first met him, I saw that sh*t in him a mile off, put his ego in place "broke his heart" and he now blames me for being a fuckboy haha!

We're very resourceful people, we use what we have to obtain more...whatever that "more" may be. We love to network as well.

Capricorns can use nothing to make something! or Use everything to make nothing...

I feel like this cap moon/rising girl uses me as her to-go buddy and chest of secrets. We are close and I do see how practical it is but sometimes i feel like she just wants me for that.
