MANTRA: I use

☽ Down-to-earth

For the mountain goat of the zodiac, it is all about hard work. Capricorns are both ambitious and determined. This is the time of year when the sun’s heat and light are at their lowest, with the night outweighing the day. Capricorn’s affinity for resourcefulness and preparedness is mirrored in the activities of the Winter, where we enter a hibernation and conservation mode. This probably explains why this archetype is practical as well, taking things one step at a time and being as realistic and pragmatic as possible.
