December 22nd – January 19th

I am a big believer in the “yin-yang” dualism concept. Every person (every sign) has their good & bad parts and those things together make up who we are. It’s important that we recognize that we have two sides, so we best know how to control our behaviors and reactions.
It’s important to know…
Characteristics of the zodiac signs differ based on their placement. While the Sun sign is the core of who we are and arguably the most important quality to look at, knowing an individual’s other placements, such as Mercury or Mars will help us understand a person better.
While a Capricorn Sun is what actually makes a person “a Capricorn”, other placements in Capricorn will have the same qualities in a more specific way.
For example: A Capricorn Sun means the Capricorn qualities listed below would be your personality; your ego. But having a Capricorn Mercury means you would demonstrate these qualities in your communication style. Or having a Capricorn Mars would mean that the Capricorn zodiac sign qualities below would be your “take action” style.
