Perfect World?

So in mythology, Saturn ruled and it was the golden age for humanity.
...then he ate his kids, Jupiter busted them out and took over.
Then chaos happened.

So say Capricorns could control /everything/ or at least bend reality to their will,how do you think it go? What would you do with that power and what do you think other Caps would do with it?

All the deadbeats would get off their asses and be productive citizens and contribute to the community instead of leaching off the work and kindness of others.

That's what I would do.

why did he eat his kids?

According to Roman myth (inspired by the original Greek myth), it had been foretold that one of the sons of Saturn would overthrow him, just as he had overthrown his father, Caelus. To prevent this, Saturn ate his children moments after each was born. His wife Ops eventually hid his sixth son, Jupiter, on the island of Crete, deceiving Saturn by offering a stone wrapped in swaddling in his place. Jupiter eventually supplanted his father just as the prophecy had predicted. {Source: Wikipedia}

Lesson: Caps parent alone, your spouse with undermine your authority~ or that self-fulfilling prophesy suck.

Gee, yall discussing the moral and theme of the story make me feel like I misinterpretted the question.

OMG I LOVE MYTHOLOGY.

OK...ok..i see it.

The point i got was that if you have any evil intentions don't let others know because you are giving them knowledge to work against you without you knowing (eg the wrapped stone).

Also, this story reiterates Capricorn's hunger for power. He sacrificed his own blood, multiple times with the father and the kids, to be in power.

Also, that Caps are horny goats because he still didn't sacrifice having sex to prevent the prophecy. heheheh.

Yup, should have just "lost" the kids on earth.

Yet Capricorn are the "Father" sign of the zodiac and are noted to work themselves to death for family. Irony or was that the one life lesson father Saturn passed down to his goat children. "Be nice to family."

It's mandatory Capircorns have either sex slave(s) or trade their sex life for their career.

Nah you got it. Though Talking about Saturn's sex life and parenting skills is always an appropriate topic for Capricorns. 😆

Me too 🙂

whether he told his wife he was making a meal out of jr 1 and 2 etc??_ seems she would figure it out.

to the op??_ i think it would go horribly. power shouldn't go to one person or even a small group, no matter their sign.

i couldn't honestly tell you i'd do well with it if i had all the power in the world. ideally i would??_ so ideally??_ i'd figure out a way to keep things on a more even playing field. you know??_ i'd keep things ideal. ??_ideally. prob hand the control back to the population with a manageable number of checks n balances that worked synergistically with one another. id provide more real world education on subjects like money and trade systems and hopefully instill more morals and values within them.

i kind of agree with you.

Saturn was greedy. Simple as that. If it weren't for his wife, it'd be someone else. She was acting only as a mother and nurturer, not to have her children be eaten alive by his cruelty and greed for power. Power is shared in the family and he didnt want that. He wanted it all to himself, which is why it went the way it did. And ironically, capricorn itself (10th house) is all about family values, as well as career/goals. As every capricorn i've known in real life, family and friends have always valued family.

yep. power will eventually corrupt when left in one place.
