THE MAGICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN STAR AND STONE - CAPRICORN, AQUARIUS AND PISCES
THE MAGICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN STAR AND STONE
From the earliest times, people in every culture have sought a way of connecting with the stars and discerning the effect they have on their destinies. According to astrological teachings the sign of the zodiac under which an individual is born has a great influence on his life, his soul, his character and his general health. Each sign has its own characteristic qualities; each corresponds to a specific area of the body and accounts for its strength or weakness. Particularly if one suffers from chronic ailments, one should look for gemstones that not only address symptoms, but also serve to support one’s basic personality type and counteract its weaknesses.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 - JANUARY 20)
For Capricorn no workload is too heavy, no career path too steep. He relies on his own will power to take him to the top. This sign combines ambition and endurance. Capricorns are realists through and through. While others are dreaming about what they might do with an increase in salary, Capricorn already has earned and sensibly invested it. He believes strongly in tradition. For him everything has to be just so. But because he takes things so seriously, he sometimes misses out on the enjoyment of life and jeopardizes relationships on account of business responsibilities and adherence to convention. Even so he is capable of deep and passionate feeling and can flourish in a long-term relationship. But before he can truly share his feelings with someone else, he will scrutinize their person to make sure that his trust and affection have not been misplaced.
Conscientiousness is more than just a word for Capricorn. He will do everything he can to fulfill his responsibilities on time and in the most careful fashion.
Strong emotions make Capricorn insecure and uneasy. He disguises these feelings behind a reserved and distant front.
