Capricorn Season Glamour Guide
This season is all about structure, minimalism and utility! Think blazers, tight ponytails, cat eyes and black nail polish!
Hello there Capricorn season! Ruled by stern Saturn, Capricorn energy is disciplined, prestigious, methodical, practical, realistic, resourceful and independent. They are incredibly self-sufficient and if you’ve ever known a Capricorn, especially in your younger years, you’ll understand me when I say that Capricorns have always been adults, even when they were children. For Capricorns, the sense of time that defines the phases of life, adulthood in particular, and the responsibility that comes with it is all the more apparent when taking into account that fact this it is ruled by Saturn, otherwise known in Greek mythology as Kronos, the God of time. This rulership is one that encourages maturity, longevity and legacy, thus Capricorns eternal adulting.
Capricorns are personified as the sea-goat which depicts their incredible capacity for endurance both on land, sea, and all of Earths terrain, symbolically of course. Capricorns are defined by their diligence and hard work and their ability to take a big goal and break it down into tangible, achievable steps, just like a mountain goat scaling a mountain, step by step.
In the tarot, the sign of Capricorn corresponds to The Devil card. At first, this may seem off-putting and give people the initial impression that Capricorns are not good people but actually, this card symbolizes Capricorns quest to conquer the material and ascend to enlightenment. At the top of the card is an upside-down star, otherwise known as a pentagram which has long been associated with the Devil, but it is much deeper than that umbrella association. First of all, at least in the tarot, the suit of pentacles represents the element of Earth which is the element that rules Capricorn. Second of all, an upright star looks like a person with its head and limbs, with the head being on top which symbolizes Spirit ruling over matter, which is the goal. However, when reversed, it symbolizes matter ruling over Spirit, which can also be interpreted as “bad”, i.e. the churches association of this symbol with evil. As I’ve mentioned in previous style guides, the zodiacal tarot associations are not a description of the sign, but rather the obstacle that they are here to conquer and for prestigious Capricorns, their battle is one of not getting swept away and consumed by material accomplishments, as depicted by the two people on the card being chained to a box and the box being representative of material tethers like unfulfilling jobs and relationships that are only there to satiate Capricorns desire to persevere in society, no matter the personal and spiritual cost. Capricorns challenge is to rise above all that. In fact, the goal of Capricorn is to reverse this card which would then have the star pointing right side up, symbolizing their evolved choice to not settle for societies expectations and letting those same expectations and the conquering of them, define them. It is for them to learn how to acquire wealth outside of the terms with which society defines wealth which is entirely monetary.
