tions, and that you are more swayed by passion than by intellectual
argument. At your worst, you see too many connections, becoming lost
in conspiracies. At your best, you spot the connection that everyone
else missed. You are perceived as being “cold,” which in your case sim-
ply means you may not be quickly reacting on a surface level. In the
modern parlance, it fits better with “cold and dry” than with simply
“cold.” However, a “cold” type is basically lethargic, or slow to react.
Here we have an interesting apparent contradiction: your emotions run
deep, but that doesn’t mean you’re talking about them all the time!
The quiet quality of “cold” may mislead others about what you’re feel-
ing. The “problem” with “cold” is that it makes it hard for you to forget
slights. Because you don’t tend to lash out immediately, it’s hard for you
not to allow your anger to build up.
The sign of Cancer is called a Cardinal sign in astrology, which means
that you are better at starting new things than on finishing them.
Laboring overlong at any task is not your strong suit. (Courtesy of J.

Capricorn, the tenth sign of the zodiac, is a cardinal earth sign. It is a negative (in the
value-neutral sense of being negatively charged), feminine sign ruled by the planet
Saturn. Its symbol is a goat with a fish tail, and its glyph is said to reflect this symbol.
It takes its name from the Latin Capricornus,which means “goat horn.” Capricorn is
associated with the bones and especially with the knees, and individuals with a Capri-
corn sun sign are susceptible to bone and joint problems, particularly knee problems.
The key phrase for Capricorn is “I use.”Capricorn
