The Capricorn Man

Capricorn Men are typically men of authority and power. As men of such stature, they possess discipline and courage about them that it’s typically very difficult to break them-- if it’s even at all possible. They have great resolve, coupled with great ability.

Despite this immense strength of will, they are not devoid of problems. For starters, they tend to predict the worst in everything and approach situations way too seriously. This can remove any notion of fun in some situations.

Ultimately, they are a balance of discipline and plain stubbornness. And navigating this balance is the Capricorn's primary goal.

The element of the Capricorn Man is the Earth itself. Central to the idea of the Earth sign is discipline. It includes a rock-solid resolve that continues to stay strong in the face of the most extreme challenge. 

And among all the Earth signs, Capricorn has the honor of having the Cardinal quality. This means that they have the strongest affinity for Earth, and therefore possesses the strongest traits of the element.

These two advantages strike at the very heart of the matter. All Capricorn Men are almost unbendable and will weather the challenges of life with stoic grace and poise.

The Capricorn Man’s essence fits perfectly with its eminently intimidating sign: the sea-goat. With the face of a grazing animal and the body of an aquatic creature, this is a creature whose existence demands awe. It even merits fear from those who behold it.

In its own way, this is fitting because Capricorn Men often have an air of intimidation around them. They do not do so because their form is scary, however, but because their resolve makes it scary to even think of messing with them. 

As such, it is wise for people not to make enemies of Capricorn Men.

Capricorn Men live by the planet Saturn’s splendor. It's one of the few ringed planets in our solar system. Thus, Saturn is concerned with the line that we draw between personal conviction and public resolve. This means the authentic selves and the “self” we show publicly.

Often, Capricorn Men feel the pressure of showing the outer self more due to their own guarded nature. This makes them capable of defending themselves in an argument, but also vulnerable in some ways on a personal level.

Usually, the goal for Capricorn is to define this line more precisely to help themselves in everyday life.

Forgive and forget

Forgiveness is a strength that many Capricorn Men need to have for the most part. The problem that they have is that they have so much stubbornness in them that forgiveness is something you’ll have to fish out of them.

In your case, you need to forgive and forget because not doing so will only make life more painful for you. If nothing else, think of the irrational judgments you might make as a result of your anger.

True strength lies in forgiveness, and in order to realize your true potential, you must open yourself up to this particular act.

Let more things into your life

Broadening your own perspective and opening your mind can be difficult when you have a propensity for being stubborn at times. In Capricorn Man’s case, the call to act on this and actually letting more things into your life can be difficult because it goes against your nature.

However, this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider the possibility anyway. There are many things that can improve your life if you would just let them in.

Do not let prejudice blind your judgment and instead open your mind to the many frontiers of knowledge that exist out there for your own good.

Pride comes before a fall

One problem of Capricorn is that they can be too proud of themselves and too proud to change their opinion according to the demands of the times. The obvious problem with this is that by doing so, you could be endangering yourself and leaving others vulnerable.

Only by learning to change your opinion according to the times and being more flexible in your way of thinking will you be able to avert a potential crisis in your hands. Carry this wisdom with you as you go about your life and do not let pride itself control your ability to reason.

Give yourself more freedom

Freedom is an important component in life, and because Capricorns can be stubborn, you could say that it is truly essential for them to actually realize their true potential as a sign.

See, the problem that Capricorns tend to have is that they often refuse to let go of things, and as they do so, they tend to suffer the consequences and damage of staying there.

By giving yourself more freedom, you are therefore giving yourself the chance to be more. Do not allow yourself to be limited by your own attitudes and weaknesses. Find strength and glory in freedom.

Believe in yourself

It is very important to believe in yourself as a Capricorn. Sometimes, because of your own tendency to hold on to anger, you tend to point that anger to yourself and as a result you have no motivation.

Being able to find motivation in something other than self-hate is one of the requisite steps to truly find who you really are as a human being. Find yourself and believe in your own potential when you do.

Because if nothing else, think of what you can do when you are at your very best. Be strong and be true to yourself.

Apache Tear

For the Capricorn, being able to utilize the Apache Tear is a good thing. The thing to remember here is that Apache Tears are great for relieving personal turmoil and removing negative energy from your system.

When you use this crystal, you then become more capable of thinking about things in a much more logical, realistic way because your thoughts are no longer clouded by negativity.

Being able to use this crystal is therefore crucial for you to start thinking about life itself and what you can do with it. Use this crystal to avoid your worst mental traps.

Smoky Quartz

The Smoky Quartz is another crystal that helps you release negative energy. Specifically, it focuses on the hatred that you might feel over people or things. All of these things can be quite detrimental for you on a physical level, so the help of this crystal is essential.

What this does is that it helps extract negative energy through good meditation and by passive absorption. The longer you wear this crystal on your person, the more effective it becomes.

It is therefore crucial that you use this crystal to pave the way for true self-mastery. With its help, you'll succeed.

Aragonite

Aragonite is a crystal that helps manage stress levels in every Capricorn Man. Due to their notoriety for being enraged and easily tripped up by negative emotions, it is imperative for people to understand what Aragonite can do in such situations.

When the Aragonite is truly applied, it starts to divert negative energy from the interior to exterior, until it actually produces a calming effect that allows you to once again think with a clear mind and a stalwart heart.

Do not hesitate to call upon this crystal's help when the situation requires both immediate action and a calm disposition.

Capricorn Men have a complex relationship with this world in general. On the one hand, they are able to weather its assaults from just about any direction you can think of. They’re resilient and strong.

On the other hand, it can be difficult for them to go beyond their shells. Opening up is therefore their ultimate focus.
