Happy Birthday Capricorn - Everything for Capricorn is all about career and responsibility. The focus is a little different this year in that it is about those issues but you must address your values and philosophy behind them. Yes Capricorn, you don’t give much credence to those who philosophize but for you, right now, it’s necessary to take a good look at why you are doing what you’re doing. Yes, I know. It’s to support yourself and your family and it’s considered to be your responsibility to do so. Did you ever consider who made those rules? What would you do with your life if your family was fed and provided for, your 401k was busting at the seams and you had all the leisure time in the world to do anything that you want? Margaritas by the pool would get real old real fast. Are you training your kids to follow the same “responsible” path? Why?

The bottom line for you is that you need to somehow sacrifice yourself for something larger than yourself. You toil to create something that will benefit everyone in your sphere of influence. It’s the constructive and creative part that you really enjoy. Filling the responsibility part, in your mind, gives you permission to do other things that you enjoy. Do you refrain from taking your portion of the mashed potatoes off the table until everyone else has taken theirs? Do you save the best part of your meal toward the end and eat everything else before you allow yourself to enjoy the best remaining morsels? You are now at the point in your life that you need to give yourself permission to take what you need when you need it. Let others deal with some of their own responsibilities for their life. You don’t have to take care of everyone.

In the relationship area you have been supporting others but have received minimal support yourself. This will begin to turn around in April. More support will begin to come your way but not from the people that you expect. Don’t look for it. It’s a question of allowing the universe to give it to you in a way that you cannot control. Remember…you are a bit of a control freak! By September, concerning anyone that you’ve been “carrying,” you will be able to let go and have more energy to put into other endeavors.
In the beginning of April there will also be a change in your “sibling” status. There will either be a sudden getting together or separation between you and siblings or those you may consider alike to siblings
.
Your charm is on the rise. That’s saying a lot for serious Capricorn. Allow yourself to go with the flow and not follow your stringent idea of social etiquette. You will find that people warm up to you more easily. There is one word of caution, however. Do not “bribe” them with committing to do for them. Be yourself. You don’t need to be useful for someone to appreciate you.
