Those incredible Capricorns

Ok you Caps, since most of you are unknown entities and so mysterious that even astrologers don't get you (or the real you) and hence they don't have much nice things to say about you guys, I found a little something that made me take my hat off (again) to your Capricornian tenacity & willpower. I love how you guys never whine or feel sorry for yourself. I love how when things go bad, you ALWAYS pick yourselves up, dust yourselves off, shrug off the pain and carry on to the next level as if nothing happened.

I think this little snippet that I just found from someone's personal blog illustrates the above perfectly:

"The real story is with B, who is an amazing individual. His Capricorn Sun conjoins Saturn in his 7th House, and he has a 4th House Pluto. I believe the old expression is that he comes from the School of Hard Knocks...and there is no one better equipped to deal with the crap in life than he.

In 2003 he broke two vertebrae, six ribs, his dominant hand and his palate mountain-biking. In addition to all of these injuries, he lost three molars. Could you just let that sink in for a moment? Spine. Ribs. Mouth. Hand. Did he feel sorry for himself? How could he? After spending time in the trauma ward before the spinal unit in a hospital...before walking out (mangled body be damned) on his own two feet...he felt pretty lucky.

The recovery is an on-going process, and that he came out of this excruciating, traumatic event a yoga teacher, determined to share his knowledge with other people...I can't even say how amazing this is. And I'm not so shabby myself. I rose to the challenge, as is in my nature. And it has been so far from easy, I can't imagine how other people cope. How about people who are injured and become embittered, for example? How would I have coped with that? Probably not very well

I don't think even we truly understand where we get all that willpower from🙂

Our willpower is our strongest trait actually 😄 I'm very proud of how strong we can be under fire 😄 Other can critize it but thats fine, their just jealous because they don't have it like we do 🙂

"I do know that sarasa..

F E A R."

That is what will get us started, but I don't think that's enough to keep us going aka will power.

"Our willpower is our strongest trait actually 😄

True. I have often been complimented on that, my dad (who's a virgo btw) says that all the time (not to me but to other ppl when he wants to show them how proud he is of me).

"Yeah we do have great determination. Many of my friends have commented about it. But only if I put my mind to it."

Very true. Only if I put my mind to it is the key. And that applies to anything, if I put my mind to it, I'll succeed. The saying "where there's a will, there's a way" really applies to us Cappy folks.🙂

That is what will get us started, but I don't think that's enough to keep us going aka will power.

Damn straight 😄

You know, I've come to believe I know why people dislike us and belittle us. I tend to belief that no what, as good as they my think they are, they know deep down that we are simply .... better 😉 Regardless to how many flaws we may have or set-backs -- we never stay down long 😄

I cap who isn't a fighter was born on the wrong day haha

ferdyyyyyyyy!

what you girl!

he called? whoowhoo...

i think SB had a good idea. it's called the i was thinking of you just for a minute but since you weren't there, oops, there it WAS...

duh. i meant what up girl!

i worry a lot about failure, mostly because i'm obsessed with success. when things go wrong i am usually the only one in the room/situation to not FREAK the freak out. a few weeks back my dog got hit by a minivan and i very calmly and sternly led him back into the house to be taken care of while everyone biotched at me and yelled and screamed. i think one lady cried. he's fine now. thanks to the strength and support i provided. i guess all that pent up pessimism prepares us for the worst times.

ps. no offense: i know i do this too and never take my own advice, but why do we fight fire with fire? you want him to call, he does, and then you don't call back? what? stop that nonsense.
