A true Capricorn and the desire for perfection.


I am a Christian woman, but this is not about that.  I believe that our birth is a planned event.  That we are meant to be born at a certain time at a certain place, and it's all planned by our Creator.  With that being said, I am a Capricorn by birth.  My best friend and I are in fact, both Capricorns, we have a tattoo of the symbol (above) on the inside of our right foot, below our ankle.  But, being a Capricorn is more than just a symbol . . . it is this:


1.  It is very difficult to define the characteristics profile of a Capricorn girl exactly. She can be the sexy babe on the beach or a scientist sitting in the laboratory, doing experiments that can save mankind. Whatever she is on the outside, when you look inside you will find a girl who looks for security, authority, respect and position. It is an entirely different matter how she seeks to achieve these goals. It may be as the president of a country or as the wife of an ambitious man. She seeks recognition and it doesn't matter how she gets it. 

A Capricorn female is like that goat, which has to reach the top of the mountain. It doesn't matter what position she starts and how slowly she walks, she will be at the top much before those, who were running in front of her. She will do it with such subtlety that you wouldn't even know when she crossed all the milestones. She has her aims and ambitions, but they don't come before her family. She can enjoy the role of a wife or a mother as much as that of the CEO of the biggest MNC. However, you will have to provide her with equivalent respect and security. 

Almost all the Capricorn women have immaculate etiquettes.  They have an inherent sense of social elegance, modesty and conventional look. Though she looks completely calm, composed and balanced, don't think she doesn't have mood swings. She can become really depressed if she thinks that someone has misjudged or ill-treated her. In such a case, she may brood for months at a time. This stems from the fact that she does not feel as secure as she seems to be and fears being ridiculed or laughed at. 

It is advisable not to tease a Capricorn girl; she may take it too literally. Though she may pretend otherwise, she seeks as much compliments as the other girls, probably even more. Show her that you appreciate her and make her feel secure. It will help her in opening up and showing her deliberately controlled passion. A Capricorn girl's personality doesn't include the trait of wishful thinking. She sees only those dreams that can be converted into reality. She enters a boat only when she knows that the waters are safe. 

She will emphasize heavily on social etiquette and you never see her serving the guests in anything but crystal cutlery. There will always be something fresh about her beauty and she will never ever be unattractive, even when she is wearing those hair-curlers. A Capricorn female will appear to be extremely confident, but inside she is quite unsure about her appearance. You will have to reassure her time and again that she is attractive. She will always be honest and will expect the same from you. 

At the same time, you will have to respect her family. Remember when you marry a Capricorn woman; you marry her family and relatives too. If ever you criticize her family members, better ensure that the criticism is constructive or she will never forgive you. Her love for you will never prevent her from taking care of her family. The plus point of this attitude is that she will be equally considerate towards your family too and give them the same respect as her own fellows. She will never mind if you cancel your holiday trip to pay for dad's operation. 

The home of a Capricorn female will always be sparkling clean, that to with effortless ease. She is a realist and daydreaming is not her idea of passing the time. She has the ability to make even the dullest of surroundings looks warm and attractive, with her earthly passion. She will never stop you from dreaming, as long as there is bread in the house and the dreams have at least some chances of turning into reality. As a mother, she will teach the kids discipline, economy, practicality, etiquette and respect for elders. Make her feel loved, protected, needed and cared for and in return, she will support you in realizing your dreams and give you a deep, lasting love!


2.  The Capricorn Woman


Dressed in a sharp suit and peering over the top of her horn-rimmed glasses, you'll find a Capricorn woman chairing the executive meeting, spinning big deals out of thin air. Climbing every mountain and crossing every stream, she is the powerhouse of the zodiac. Her lofty ambition and inner drive often leave everyone else behind in the dust. Beware those delicate horns though, as she will toss anything or anyone out of the way to make her date with destiny. 


Capricorn women can be stubborn and are not easily led astray from their chosen paths. Their independence and natural leadership skills are often the envy of the rest of the herd. This is an alpha female who will kick out if provoked, though she seldom loses her cool, preferring a lighter touch to obtain results. Incredibly tough, a Capricorn woman will weather any storm, disappointment or tragedy, calmly rising ever upwards. Famous Capricorn women trotting into the limelight include Siena Miller, Kate Moss, Marlene Dietrich and Janis Joplin.

Capricorns in Love


A Capricorn woman neither falls in love at first sight, nor wastes time on mindless flirtations. Love is serious stuff and should not to be trifled with. She believes in love, but she will have no truck with fate. Ever confident of her own abilities, she takes matters of the heart into her own hands, though it may be awhile before she makes her move. Observant and discriminating, she spends some time to get to know her partner, and will only allow herself to fall in love completely when all the outcomes have been considered. 



Capricorn and Relationships


Appearances may be deceiving when it comes to Capricorns. Although outwardly submissive in relationships, her innate independence will never allow a Capricorn woman to let a man lead her by the yoke. She is an equal partner in a relationship, and will stand by her mate when the going gets tough. The perfect relationship with a Capricorn woman is one with a combination of money, power, and the golden touch of success. Add a dash of unpredictability to keep things exciting, the odd social occasion to flaunt some glamour, and you have a winning partnership that will go the distance. 



Capricorn and Friendships


The Goat has a pragmatic approach to her friendships. She has her own cliques, which may be difficult to break into. However once you've learned the little ins and outs of the social group, the herd will accept you as one of their own. Expect some mothering from your Capricorn friend. She will be on hand with guidance and advice should you ever need it, and will sometimes make plans for you that you didn't know you had. Devoted to those who have made the grade from outsider to inner circle, the Capricorn woman will often go to great lengths for her friendships. She is most often found socializing with Scorpio and Pisces.



Capricorn and Sex


While the Capricorn woman would like you to believe that she is the epitome of cool, calm pragmatism, nothing could be further from the truth in the bedroom. If you unpeel a Capricorn woman out of her boardroom suit of armor, you will find a willing, passionate lover, eager to experiment between the sheets. She won't need flash or fanciful fantasies, just an emotional connection with her lover. Only strong, thoughtful and sexy partners need apply, as the Capricorn woman will take you through your paces and is likely to outlast you! 



Capricorn and Fashion


Status and image are important to a Capricorn, and you will never find the goat with a messy coat. Her outfits are sharp and individual, much like herself, and usually comprise business suits and pointed heels when at work. Off duty, her style is relaxed but never overly casual. A Capricorn woman is always dressed for success. She is not a label diva, preferring practical clothes over ridiculous straight-off-the-catwalk concoctions. Accessories and expensive jewelry are a Capricorn's favorite splurges. 



The Capricorn Woman: Fashion & Style

The Capricorn woman is the essence of practicality. Her mind is set on more important things than mere fashion, but if fashion can help her reach her goals, then she's all over it. She may even choose fashion as a career, but she won't be romantic about it. Quality and durability are her watchwords, whether she is dressing herself or others.

Her wardrobe might be quite sparse, by fashionista standards, but everything in it will be there for a purpose. She will choose her casual clothes with as much care as her dressier styles, and her office wear. Like all earth signs, she cannot bear shoddy workmanship, or clothes that don't fit the occasion. She accessorizes with discriminating taste. Not for her the cheap and gaudy trinket or the wildly eye catching bling. A neat watch, a tidy chain, and even a string of pearls may be all she owns.

The tailored look suits the Capricorn woman to a T. She thrives in the corporate atmosphere, or anywhere she can exercise her practical skills, and will dress accordingly. She doesn't care for fuss, although she likes to look her best. Oddly enough, her hair may be the one area where she breaks out. Although she will usually have it in a neat, easy care 'do, she may suddenly turn into a blonde or a redhead on a whim. Everyone has their wild streak.

The Capricorn woman shops with precision. She studies the catalogues and makes note of the stores that stock what she likes. She isn't averse to a bargain either, and will shamelessly haggle if she thinks something is overpriced. She knows her own style and won't be talked into buying what she doesn't want - she is the bane of shop attendants, since she will return anything that doesn't live up to its advertising and demand a refund. She will usually get it too.

There is a warm and nurturing side to a Capricorn woman, though, that makes her a well loved friend. It will be rare to find anyone in her circle that will say a word against her. They can all cite times when she was the only one there for them. The loyalty of a Capricorn woman is something to cherish.

She is rarely as loyal to her beauty routines. She likes to keep them as simple and no fuss as possible, and hates to have a dressing table cluttered with products. She will buy the best, if she can afford it or not, but may be so sparing with it that she misses most of the benefits. Going to a spa for a pampering weekend or even an hour in the beauty salon seems like an incredible extravagance and a waste of her precious time, but if someone offers such a treat as a gift, she is surprisingly grateful.

What the Capricorn woman most appreciates is a little 'me' time. For her, the height of luxury is to take the phone off the hook, run a warm scented bath, and luxuriate until the water gets cold. As long as she remembers to put nutrients for her skin into the bath along with the fragrance, this is fine. Often she will find making up her own cosmetics and skin care products to be an enjoyable hobby. It has the added advantage of being practical as well as relaxing.

In relationships, the Capricorn woman's practicality can be a dampener on romance at times. Her mind might be elsewhere, even making up a shopping list, and not on the pleasures at hand. It takes a skillful and sensitive lover to wean her away from the many things she worries about. It's worse if she has kids - she will be alert for every little sound.

Who can chip away at her heart and expose the warm and tender kernel inside? Another earth sign, Taurus or Virgo, can do it, though Virgo may be so caught up in its own worries that it forgets to be the sensitive lover inside. Taurus is a good bet, because Taurus loves to cajole and spoil, and Capricorn may not be able to resist for long. But it is the Capricorn woman's opposite sign, Cancer, that is most sensitive and aware when it comes to emotional needs.

The Capricorn woman is not easy to get close to, but once the right partner touches the right nerve, magic happens.

3.  Controlled is a very apt word to describe Capricorns. In control of their emotions, their actions and their course in life, their sign is the embodiment of “calm, cool and collected”. They need that control because they are a walking contradiction. Deep underneath that cool veneer is a warm and tender woman. It simmers just beneath her surface but feels no need to show itself unless there is a damn good reason to. High standards are something she has in spades so it will take more than cutesy creativity to see beneath that exterior.

To be completely honest, you might lose faith before you get anywhere with her. You may go through a period of time where you feel you have exhausted all your resources. Her sign is notorious for having walls as high as the Sears Tower and fortified like Ft. Knox. It is likely you may not even get in the front door as her friend the first time around. This woman has all the patience in the world and isn't afraid to use it. She doesn't need a partner but eventually she will want one. The secret to making her want is to simply be the warmth that melts her ice.

For the strong women of the zodiac, often times they secretly appreciate when their partner is the one that takes a certain amount of control. The Capricorn woman is one of them. There is no rushing seduction and there is no margin for error. Slow and steady wins you this race for her heart. The best relationships with a Capricorn are those that stem from a natural progression. Befriend her and keep personal tidbits to a minimum. Early conversations should be light hearted and general. You let her in as she lets you in and before you know it there are quiet dinners for two in the privacy of her own home.

Privacy is another important notion to a Capricorn. Over exuberant public displays of affection, everyone and their mother knowing all of your business and gossips have no place in her life. She values intimacy and likes to keep her personal life tucked neatly behind closed doors. No one but you two need to know what is going on. Over time, as your comfort levels grow, you can initiate a subtle public display of affection. Just let her take it as far as she is comfortable with.

So you have taken the time and asserted yourself in her life. While being a constant you have gone along with her program and actively given as much as you received. By now she should be comfortable with you and feel a level of security that she can let you underneath her armor. Start paying attention when she does little things for you almost like a personal assistant. This is her way of showing interest and wanting to move forward.

Capricorns are always calculating and planning. Once she starts doing little things for you she is probably beginning to think of ways to seduce you. By now you have seen her some of her warmth and you want more. Meet her halfway with a little bit of confidence. Coy yet sincere flirting, in private, will get you where you want to go. Be creative. Being able to smile at something only the two of you would know racks up plenty of brownie points in your favor.
Just because she may try to seduce you or respond to your advances does not mean you are off the hook. Of course be yourself (better have been this entire time) but understand at any time before you get official status confirmation, you can be tossed aside. You will know when she trusts in you and feels secure. While it may seem as if the heavens open up and angels start to sing, you will feel the shift in your relationship. When you get a chance to look back, you will see its natural progression and feel a rightful sense of achievement.

One of the many benefits to being with a Capricorn woman is their greatest secret. The phase “a lady in the streets but a freak between the sheets” definitely applies to them. All her seriousness and calm exterior gets left at the bedroom door. When that door closes, she all about play time with you. Capricorns are so sexual that the thought alone could arouse them. She is very mischievous and adventurous in bed. She adores the feeling and emotions that come with passionate and intimate sex. You will get to benefit from her adoration.

There IS something delicious in the power of “I know something you don’t know”. The Capricorn woman harnesses that power every day. She doesn't feel the need to advertise her worth; she understands she is a gift. She understands that she is worth all the things she tries so hard to obtain and so much more. She likes having her lives separate. Her personal relationships are her reward for the hard work she puts into her professional life, something just for her. She is just as cautious and devoted in her personal relationships as she is her professional, making sure that each are the best they can be. Just don’t give up on her. She may take her time but once she gets there the rewards are priceless.

Mental Montage

Randomness

Since I have been slacking on my blogging as of late.  I plan to cram as much as possible into this one post.  Be warned, it could get long.  Hahaha.



First, several weekends ago (approx. October 14 or 15).  We took Kylie to the Al Menah Shrine Circus.  And I, of course, forgot my camera.  Oops.  But, let's just say it was awesome.  She had such a good time, thankfully my sister was there and got some video.  And Kylie's grandparents got to be there (along with her great-grandmother), and of course grandma didn't forget the camera, thankfully.  So, we have a least some pictures to remember the occasion with.  Kylie couldn't stop talking about the elephants and tigers.  She thought they were the greatest, but only liked them from afar.  Once we had the chance to go see the elephants, she said they were too big and she was scared!!  That is not surprising   Haha.

So, we did get around to taking Kylie the pumpkin patch. Thank goodness. She had a great time. She got to pick out her own pumpkin.


She got to walk around the corn maze.




They had animals.  She wanted to touch some of them.  They had pigs, cows, goats and chickens.  She loved it!!  There was a turkey too.  It kept putting it's head outside the fence and she would run after it.  She thought it was fun.




She got to climb an airplane shaped playhouse.  She's a girl after my own heart.  She already loves planes!!!  It had a slide in the back.  That was her favorite part.  She likes slides.


But, I think the best part of the day was Kylie milking the cows.  She went to every one of them (I think there were 3).  And she tried each one.  And then, we couldn't get her to stop.  She didn't want to leave, hahaha.  It was so funny.  I was totally grossed out, but she seemed to enjoy it, so, who am I to discourage fun!!!





And my mom and my sister both got to go with us.  It was good to see them and for them to be with Kylie.  So, all in all it was a good weekend.  I'm going to try and make the pumpkin patch something we do every year.  We always have fun.  And each time we get Kylie to try something new.  This year she wanted nothing to do with the hayride.  We tried to get her on the tractor/trailer for the hayride, and she had a mini-meltdown.  She started towards it, but then realized she didn't want to go.  So, we sat it out waiting for my mom and sister to return. Maybe next year she will be brave enough to try it.  It looked like a lot of fun!!


So, I think that about wraps up the festivities for the last month.  Now, what else to write about?!?! Um, let me think and I'll get back with ya.
