Capricorn is very yin! I also agree that it’s related to tradition.

Yes, the short descriptions are really about archetypal energy and not individuals. Thank you for pointing that out.

Amen.

What an interesting life! There are many seasons in a lifetime. Perhaps this is the time for you to focus on relationships for a while. Eventually the season will change, I think.

Taking care of an elderly parent is incredibly difficult and draining, no matter what the nodal placement. I hope you are hanging in there. What a loving thing you are doing.

Jeff Bezos, Phil Jackson, and Queen Elizabeth II all had this placement and each acheived a lot of status and financial security. It can be done. I think it’s important to be motivated by other than status and money, but it doesn’t mean some of both won’t eventually come your way.

Take good care.

Balancing the two is a great goal! I also like what you said about prestige as an illusion. I agree: it’s not real.

A lot of people focus on career when they’re young and then later regret they didn’t spend more time with their kids. It’s hard to get the balance right sometimes. Being a parent and having a family are dreams in their own right, but you also don’t want to give up on the other interests you have. That’s not good for you or the kids.

If there’s something you really, really feel you want to do/learn/become, I say hold onto that and take whatever steps you can in that direction whenever you can. Sometimes we do have to choose between dreams, but often times the universe is just waiting for us to take a few steps towards something before the energy shifts entirely. Good luck!

I’m not sure what part of the post you’re interpreting as not having dreams or giving up on dreams. Many very accomplished people who followed their dreams are named as natives with this placement. It’s also important to remember that everyone’s dream is different. Some people dream of having homes and families and never get those and can be very sad about that.

If you mean that I’m advocating you give up on dreams of status and recognition, my point is a little more subtle. I suggest that one should shift focus from being concerned about what other people think and turn their attention to what is personally meaningful.

Example: Let’s say one dreams of being an actor. It would be so fun to be the movie star that always brings in the box office receipts, the Broadway legend who fills the seats, the master who achieves EGOT status, the artist who gets to pick and choose every project because they’re so talented everyone wants to work with them. Maybe they get out of the shower every morning and practice their Oscar acceptance speech in the mirror. Those are dreams of being appreciated and rewarded, and I think everyone yearns for that, though some more than others.

I would say with this placement, though, when it comes to one’s “career,” one might be happier to invest emotional energy in the mastery of the craft (in this case acting), and focus on getting validation and appreciation from a select few people or even just oneself. Waiting for the world to recognize your talent might be more frustrating for you than for others.

The thing with Cancer/Capricorn is to ask Whose opinion do you really care about? In this example, I would encourage the person to ask what is it about being an actor that is truly meaningful to them. If they’re doing it for the recognition, with this placement, I would guess there might be more than their fair share of disappointment. But if it’s a dream with personal meaning and something they’re really committed to, there’s nothing about this placement that says you won’t succeed or be happy. It’s really about where you invest your emotional hopes.

I’m sorry you haven’t have a vacation for many years. It sounds like you you are supporting others in their dreams perhaps at the expense of your own. Nothing about this placement suggests thsoe circumstances will make you happy. Hopefully, the Wheel of Fortune keeps turning until it’s your time to be on top and things balance out a little bit. Best wishes.

“You came into this world knowing how to lead and organize.  You can see how that innate talent played out in the lives of Cesar Chavez, Alfred Nobel, Queen Elizabeth II, Otto von Bismark, Claus von Stauffenberg, Fidel Castro, Jeff Bezos, and Phil Jackson.” All of those people had successful careers. You can absolutely work!
