Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Scorpio

Determined, purposeful and private, you are not easily moved once you have chosen a course. Work takes up a huge part of your life. You take a very responsible approach to anything you undertake and do your best to see it through. You are loyal and steady, and people can rely on you, because you do not let them down. When you are in charge, you tend to give firm instructions and directives and to check carefully that they are carried out on time. You have no wish to put your efforts on display and prefer to stay in the background, where you find it easier to guide people. You have a natural gift for psychology and can pinpoint anyone's weak spot with great accuracy. You know how to steer people toward your goals, and that insight is at its best when it serves them as well as you.

Your influence comes from your total commitment to your work. Your principles grow out of a deep respect for the law in all its forms. You make decisions without haste, drawing up a clear plan of action with a timeline and considering every possible turn of events. You feel uneasy when you lose control of what is happening. When you decide, you rely both on your strong analytical mind and on your natural intuition. You carry out your decisions discreetly and with a fine feel for people, and at times you keep more to yourself than others would like, so a little more openness can build trust. Your career is an important part of your life, and you work your way upward patiently, one step at a time. You have great respect for professionalism and work hard to become a true professional in your field.

Rest in the usual sense does not appeal to you much, and you would rather work. If you must take time off, you prefer it to have some link with work. You relax best where no one will disturb you and you can attend to your private affairs. You are passionate and possessive in love, though it hardly shows on the surface. You have a long emotional memory, and hurts tend to stay with you, and forgiving, at your own pace, can free up a lot of energy. Your emotions are deep and intense, and people sometimes sense a certain heaviness or seriousness in you. At home you like to be the one in charge, and you sense very well the atmosphere of the house and the moods of your loved ones.

Your conscious aims and your inner needs work in harmony, both directed toward organizing and transforming yourself and the world around you. Energy, flexibility and give may be in shorter supply, and allowing a little more lightness can do you good.
