❤️‍🔥LOOKING AT THE VENUS SIGNS: WHERE WE CANNOT SETTLE ❤️‍🔥
*do not plagiarize my writing under any circumstances.*
🥀Venus Sickness is a possible side effect of plants used to produce oxygen on planet Venus in an episode of cowboy bebop. Some people who came into touch with the spores became blind. They’d drift down gently, and you’d have no clue if they’d hurt you or not. This small scene beautifully captures Venus’ dark side. Nothing in life is free, and beauty is no exception. 🖤
🔥Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. You might not think of hell when you think of love, balance, and beauty, but I believe this shows that wherever Venus is in our chart, we must learn not to settle. We must realize that delivering justice without being assertive is ineffective. Many things in love are worth fighting for. Where Venus is in our charts is where we must make sure we have a backbone and stand in our truth when it comes to our values. ❤️‍🔥
Venus in Aries and/or the first house: It’s occasionally amusing to watch others attempt to label you or demand an explanation for your conduct because they are too terrified to live out their wildest ambitions the way you do. However, as you age and gain greater control of your strength and confidence, others will eventually recognize that you do not adhere to anyone’s rules. And if anything, you create them just to break them all over again. When it comes to your appearance, style and relationships, you should never settle. What good is love if there is no fascinating and exciting sense of urgency? After all, it should be something that revitalizes you. That has the potential to ignite your passion and push you to new heights. When it’s your time to shine or you want to wear something you’re a little self-conscious about, this means not asking for permission or waiting for approval. Keep your head held high and do what you want with your appearance since, in most circumstances, you’ll be the trend setter anyway. Don’t waste time waiting for others when you already know what you want to accomplish. When it comes to partnerships, you need someone who will strongly love themselves so they don’t project their fears onto you. This is especially important because all eyes are on you anytime you walk into a room and having an insecure partner will hold you back. When it comes to your personality, health, appearance, individuality, and self-awareness, don’t compromise your values. You always make a strong impact no matter where you go, therefore you can’t let weak people try to sabotage you or dim your light. You have no reason to feel guilty about treating yourself first. People will naturally flock toward you, hoping to catch a glimpse of your beauty or simply to be in your presence, but no matter how loving you are, not everyone will be worth your time. Determine how to filter out those who are only there for superficial reasons. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Taurus and/or the second house: When it comes to your self-care, how you advocate for yourself, your resources, self-worth, and how you make money, you can’t afford to settle. If you’ve already explained how you want to be loved and they haven’t been able to meet your needs, don’t allow yourself to lower your standards in the hopes of keeping someone. You need someone who will share your passion for the finer things in life. When it comes to defending your security, stability, and comfort, especially in your relationship, don’t be afraid to be assertive. Don’t believe anybody who tells you that stability cannot be soft. What could be more wonderful than being with someone who makes you feel at ease, where there are no games and you both understand how to fulfill one other and what each must contribute to the table? You need someone who will share your excitement in all the beautiful moments of life and everything in between, as well as your exploration of sensual desires. When people try to rush you or pressure you into doing things you don’t want to do, stand your ground. You, more than anyone, understand that we all have a lot more control over our lives than we believe. Prior to trusting anything else, ensure that your feet are firmly planted on the ground and that you trust yourself. That is the first step toward success, whether in the workplace, relationships, or on a new journey. You are not required to provide an explanation or justification for the things you cherish and cultivate. You are allowed to stand up fiercely for anything you love. There’s a lot of emphasis on making your physical world as beautiful as possible, and you can’t let someone shame you for demanding the recognition you deserve. Preserve your loyalty since it should only be given to those who truly deserve it and who reciprocate the energy you give them. You need someone who actually values your perspective and is prepared to set aside their concerns about what other people think; otherwise, it’s difficult to see how they’ll keep you around for long. While making connections, your values should be non-negotiable because the things someone cherishes in life reveal their true character. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Gemini and/or the third house: When it comes to your conscious mind, communication, near environment, short travels, how you learn, self-expression, neighbors, and relationship with your siblings, you cannot settle. It would help if you did not allow others to make you feel terrible about your appreciation for the simple things in life; you are free to see beauty in everything around you. You have a natural talent for it. Don’t let somebody make you feel wrong about your vivid imagination and creativity simply because they are too dull to think beyond the box. Don’t let people make you feel like a fool just because you’re living in your truth and they’re too scared to genuinely live in theirs and be who they really want to be. When it comes to your relationships, don’t let anyone tell you that you’re too much to keep up with; on the contrary, you deserve someone who is equally as adventurous and intelligent as you are so that you can both stay stimulated. I know people may easily rely on you as a peacemaker; after all, you can be pretty charming, but when it comes time to stand up for yourself and speak your truth, do so without hesitation and with confidence. When people want to limit you and push you to stay where you are, you know it’s time to go. The worst thing you could ever do is allow people to have you questioning that brilliant mind of yours because of their projections. It’s your life, and you have the right to make it as fulfilling as possible in a way that caters to you. I understand you want to find beauty wherever you go and in your immediate environment, but you must also recognize that you are the beauty itself and it’s been an irreplaceable part of other peoples memories with you. Therefore, why would you want to avoid all the words, ideas, poetry, symphonies, and stories whirling around in your head? Don’t worry about whether or not other people understand it. Just share it. The people who are the right match for you will know precisely what you mean.❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Cancer and/or the fourth house: When it comes to your roots, home, family, traditions, and values, you can’t afford to settle. The moon’s influence brings out your intuitive side regarding how you love and show how much you care about others, especially your friends and family. You have a natural ability to look after others, and when you’re in love, you can find yourself thinking about doing just that. However, it would be ideal to be assertive about your obligations and highlight what you genuinely value. Don’t allow people to ruin your plans because you care about them. You can see when something wrong is coming from a mile away, don’t allow love to become something that requires you to sacrifice yourself or have to alter yourself to someone that is exhausting to be. Don’t let people say that you’re too emotional when in reality, what they lack is emotional intelligence. Of course, having a beautiful and harmonious workplace and home is also very beneficial to your mental and physical health, and you’ll go to great lengths to achieve it. Remember, you must become accustomed to the sensation of being in love with someone who adores you, does not make you doubt your values, and does not make you feel as if they are about to pull the rug out from under you at any moment. Having the power to manage your own emotions and understand the feelings of people around you is fantastic. Still, it’s even better when you have boundaries in place to make sure you have healthy relationships. You, more than anyone, understand that love isn’t as cut and dried as it’s made to be. Allow yourself to let go of your preconceived notions of who you should be and allow others to see you for who you are. Accept vulnerability wholeheartedly.  What makes you vulnerable is what makes you lovely and you can still do so while also making it clear how you expect to be treated. It is unpleasant, but it is necessary. All of the things that others consider to be weak are precisely what make you courageous. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Leo and/or the fifth house: You should never put your creativity, personal self-expression, sources of devotion (whether they are children, pets, or partners), vacations, hobbies, or abilities on the backburner. All of these things are worthy of your love, attention, and time. You’re naturally gifted, so you may feel like what you are doing is not much at times, but you’re the star of the show. Your degree of dedication and passion is unmistakable; without question, you leave an unforgettable mark on everyone you meet. Indeed, those around you might not have the same love language as you, but it’s your sign to leave when your efforts are not appreciated.  You must not put your happiness in jeopardy. It’s lovely to be with someone who makes you laugh, but you must make sure they can understand, nurture, and love you for who you are, especially in the moments when you’re not feeling your best. You can easily create an environment of joy and constant amusement, and when your loved ones are in distress, you can show up and comfort them, diverting their attention away from their pain. However, you should communicate your needs as well, as they are equally important, and you do not always have to be the go-to person to cheer people up in the moments they are feeling down. Do not be prideful or fearful of asserting what you need, since this will allow you to know who is truly there through thick and thin. To be honest, you are the epitome of beauty and brains. Because the sun’s influence compels you to channel your leadership abilities, willpower, creativity, spirit, purpose, and identity, you must be assertive when it comes to what you truly want to accomplish in life. Don’t apologize for the way you fiercely love and lead in life. However, it would be best if you gained the awareness necessary to discern when you’re genuinely leading with your ego or when others are making you fall victim to their envious projections. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Virgo and/ or the sixth house: I understand how difficult it may be to be on the receiving end of someone’s appreciation. To not be the only one that is constantly doing it all for the ones you love. It may be an odd sensation, but you must remind yourself that you are thoroughly deserving of love and that becoming preoccupied with little details that your brain convinces you must be checked off is not the ultimate aim. You must not settle when it comes to your routine, health, everyday activities, and commitments. This means that if someone enters your life, they should simplify your life and daily routine, not complicate it. It’s precisely because of your meticulous attention to detail that you are such a great lover and friend. Be assertive when it comes to your love language. There is nothing wrong with desiring to be treated similarly to how you treat others; do not allow yourself to feel guilty or undeserving of it. Others see how attractive, intelligent, and considerate you are. Don’t let yourself be the one person that does not. You can appreciate what you have while simultaneously being more vocal about your needs. Do not allow yourself to suffer in silence. Success and satisfaction in your everyday routine and love frequently go hand in hand in your life. You put a high value on your accomplishments while remaining humble about them as well. You’re labeled as devoted, perfectionist, and service-oriented. However, believe it or not, there is nothing wrong with expressing your feelings and concerns in a vulnerable manner. It doesn’t make you weak, just human. You are a highly action-oriented person who does not simply say what you mean. You prove it. At times, you will go to great lengths to ensure that everyone is happy. Whatever comes your way, you always seem to be able to fine-tune it as you work your way through all the nooks and crannies, looking for methods to minimize any flaws. It’s okay not to have all the answers or to be the one who fixes everything. Acceptance of the chaos in the midst of it all is, after all, what life is about. There will always be details we wish to change or improve when we zoom in on them but remember to keep the big picture in mind. That is how the best relationships and memories are made, not despite all the mistakes but because of them. You need to be more assertive when it comes to appreciating yourself. You don’t need to find reasons to be good to yourself or treat yourself kindly only when rewarding yourself for an accomplishment. You must love yourself just because you are here, and that is enough. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Libra and/or the seventh house: Being in love with love itself. You must not settle when it comes to your partnerships, relationships, marriage, concern for others, negotiations, and peers. When it comes to these partnerships in life, you must have strong enough boundaries to determine where you begin and they end. In the house of projections, other individuals can copy your behavior and serve as a mirror for you, or you can take on theirs subconsciously, revealing aspects of themselves they would rather not see. It might be challenging to establish boundaries with someone we care about, but you must be vocal about your own needs and desires. You thrive on the commitment, the love, and the beauty of it all, but there is only so much you can give others when they are causing you harm. You don’t have to keep giving people the benefit of the doubt if they’re showing you who they are through their actions over and over again.  You can indeed be the ultimate delegate, able to read other people’s demeanors, preferences, and dislikes with a keen and analytical eye and showing up when they need you the most. When you couple up, a significant shift occurs, and their lives appear to blend with yours—however, it is critical to maintaining control over your own life. Independence is essential to relationships. Healthy, thriving relationships enable both parties to develop a bond that allows them to grow together and independently as individuals. Maintaining your sense of freedom is critical while also feeling dependent on one another. Let me tell you now, you don’t need to get lost in the other person looking for yourself. On your own, you are already whole and complete. Once you recognized and truly embraced your power, you could move mountains. Be bold when expressing your uniqueness. You don’t have to ask for permission. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Scorpio and/or the eighth house: When you talk about love, it’s natural for people to nod their heads and say they understand. Still, you know deep down that they’re not even close to articulating or comprehending the waves of emotions running through your body, the depths of the oceans within you. You, more than anyone, understand how the lines between love and hatred blur, as they do not exist on a separate axis. You press your body against your lover as if you could discover a way to become one. You must hold your ground regarding money, trauma, resentments, baggage, s*x, spirituality, and your beliefs about death, birth, and transformation. You don’t have to put a label on everything in life. If anything, you’ve never been interested in doing so. You must develop an ability to trust your body. Never abandon your body or your instincts. When your heart beats faster, your stomach tightens, and your heart drops. Those things show you how much your body cares for you and protects you when your brain is fogged by infatuation and illusion.  It can be easy for manipulative people with malicious intent to gaslight you into believing that you’re just being paranoid.  However, we are both aware that this is not true. When Venus is in this placement, she can leave a legacy of luxury earned after a great deal of effort. You can find beauty in hitting rock bottom because you know that only greatness awaits as you rise from the ashes and reincarnate as someone new on many occasions. Become new over and over again as many times as you need to. Don’t let people guilt you just because you’re outgrowing them, and they’re staying the same. Like they say, “anything that isn’t growing is dead.” Do not settle for individuals who refuse or cannot provide you with a sense of security from the start. You have the right to draw attention to yourself. There is no requirement that someone be there to introduce you or vouch for you. Prove yourself on your own. Do not let anyone have such complete influence over you that they can drive you insane. Additionally, this placement might elicit extreme reactions from others, such as an overwhelming desire to touch or possess you. This may surprise or startle you, so never feel guilty for telling someone to back up when they’re in your personal space. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Sagittarius and/or the ninth house: You can go beyond boundaries that others would never even consider. Where others perceive and experience restraint, you recognize the possibility of transcending limits and reclaiming your independence. You’re on the hunt for knowledge, love, adventure, and everything in between. The world is far too large for you to resist exploring and experiencing pleasure; in fact, doing so would be a disservice to you and it. Be assertive regarding your philosophies, religion, higher education, ethics, and travel plans. Do not allow anyone to force you to fit into a box or live by a strict code if that is not how you truly function. If anything, things that work for you do so not because you are lucky (although you are), but because you maintain a certain level of calmness in the face of unpredictability and change. You trust the universe and make your own decisions because you understand better than anyone that society will make them for you if you do not. You can discover love abroad and even be in long-distance relationships. You value philosophical connections and seek wisdom in your lover. You’re looking for someone who can expose you to new ideas and facets of life, something much more than what your hometown offers. It is critical for you that this individual shares your ideals and lives according to their values. The more you travel and discover the world, the more you learn about yourself and the person you truly desire to be. However, it can be a paradox because the more you learn, the more you realize how little you know, and there is an insatiable desire to appreciate life. To savor and feel every moment. Every kiss, every debate, every meal, and every laugh. The way you speak is passionate and enticing. You can preach to a crowd without feeling pressured or overwhelming them; when you speak, people want to listen, their eyes looking away for a second in shyness under your direct and powerful gaze. However, there are occasions when being firm about your intentions and decisions is necessary. They do not have to be understood by everyone, but your loved ones should respect them. Believe in who and what you are, and the universe will unexpectedly assist you. Never alter your behavior to gain acceptance from others, since what and who is meant for you will undoubtedly cross your path. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Capricorn and/or the tenth house: Constantly finding yourself in the center of attention, even when you’re not searching for it. Having to cope with other people’s projections on a regular basis when it’s their fault they formed this image of who you are in their heads rather than getting to know you. When you’re in a relationship, you can become a victim of nosy and prying people. Your attractiveness is refined and exquisite, and people are unable to take their gaze away from you. This placement exudes ageless beauty, as you could be dropped off in any decade and still fit in and shine. It’s aggravating to feel like a late bloomer in love and then have to deal with frequent criticism on top of that. You must be assertive when it comes to your public reputation, status, ambition, career, and obligations. You possess an endearing personality and attractive characteristics that benefit future employment and a solid reputation. You can quickly earn admiration, act as an inspiration to others, or be considered a leader. However, you are not required to accept what you are not comfortable with in order to preserve a positive image or a brave face. Allow yourself to burn it all down when it is no longer useful to you or when others are attempting to exploit you. If they’re already watching, might as well put on a good show for them. You are not required to feel guilty for prioritizing yourself and refusing to give in to momentary happiness when you are aware that something more stable is available. You deserve someone who is equally committed and invested as you are. You are not obligated to remain in situations you do not fully enjoy or feel guilty for establishing boundaries and refusing to settle in relationships. Why are people so critical about this placement? If anything, they love you with every fiber of their being and are eager to devote their lives to you if they believe you are the one. This is a love that is yearning but not entitled, a love that is intensely gazed upon, a love that lasts a lifetime. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Aquarius and/or the eleventh house: Be assertive regarding your hopes, wishes, community, goals, ideals, and friend groups. You emphasize mental stimulation and connection, rarely revealing your true self to unintelligent people who are uninterested in learning about all of your unique facets. You tend to be years ahead of others in terms of style and relationships, liking things long before they become popular, as others attempt to conceal the fact that you did it first. You can be an expert at mobilizing people and bringing them together for a noble cause if you can hold space in ways that others simply cannot. The people you attract may be pretty unique, unconventional, or possess some distinctive physical characteristics or personality traits that lure you to them. You understand that labeling every aspect of love in life is pointless. You cannot tell the difference between a lover and a friend because you, more than anyone else, understand the existence of platonic soulmates. Do not let anyone shame you for your passions or for your unconventional approach to love and life. Do you believe you are as cold as people claim, or do you simply not have time for the bs? When you’re around people, you can effortlessly improve their lives by sharing knowledge, resources and learning all the little facts about them that they believe are forgettable. However,  you always remember. Do not let anyone make you feel bad about wanting to establish the foundations of your relationships from the very start. You are deserving of friendship, respect, and patience. You infuse any space you occupy with sudden and unexpected change and transformation. Friendship and romantic relationship breakups affect you more than others believe. Even if you move on on the surface, it’s upsetting because when you care about someone, you’re prepared to go to great lengths for them, and betrayal feels catastrophic. Generally, however, your friends and companions will be supportive and always have your back because you are unlike anybody they have ever met. However, do not be afraid to use discernment when dealing with someone who claims to be invading your space out of concern when, in fact, they are attempting to lead you astray. As you mature, you learn through experience that some individuals are trustworthy and others are not. Do not feel guilty about restricting access to yourself when others become excessively entitled. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥
Venus in Pisces and/or the twelfth house: You are the embodiment of love. Your style of loving, nurturing, and caring for people transcends earthly limitations. In your relationship with your unconscious mind, traumas, anxieties, emotional responses, automatic responses and attitudes, self-deception, and karmic patterns and concerns must be assertive. Never accept less, and the first red flag is when you find yourself gradually lowering your expectations in an effort to keep someone. Do not let anyone tell you that you are too much to love when they are so accustomed to putting in the bare minimum that your effort puts them to shame. You may initially be reluctant when it comes to love, but a part of you constantly seeks intimacy and vulnerability, so you don’t simply fall in love; you sink and sink until it consumes you. When it is supportive and has boundaries, it has the potential to transform lives. However, chaos, misunderstanding, and heartache ensue when it is not. You’re so loyal to the people you care about that you’re willing to make any sacrifice for them. When someone takes advantage of you, and you remove them from your life, they can rapidly become obsessive and entitled, and they will find ways to track you down. This placement can easily attract stalkers or people who have been crushing on you that you are unaware of, so do not hesitate if your instinct is telling you something is wrong or making you feel uneasy. You can be a quiet person who yearns for silence. You cannot feel guilty when you need alone time to rest, meditate, or simply recharge your energy. It is beneficial to you. You have more control than you believe, and labeling yourself a victim is a disservice when you are sometimes the only thing preventing you from creating a life worth living. You are protected in various ways, whether spiritual or by individuals who feel an overwhelming need to protect and care for you. They may appear at the most unexpected but much-needed moments. However, keep in mind that they are there to assist you, not to save you, as you are entirely capable of protecting yourself. Never downplay your intuition. It can be confusing when you can’t put your emotions or what you’re feeling into words. The good thing is that you don’t have to. ❤️‍🔥⚔️❤️‍🔥

okay so here is something I'm just reading in liz greene's "saturn: a new look at an old devil". i think it's beautiful and true and it speaks about something that folks who are into astrology and similar esoteric studies often forget: the truth of the body. and how complex it is, how intricately it connects to every corner and crevice of our mind.
also here's another post where I'm simping for earth signs.

what’s this misconception about earth signs being obsessed with material things and money? yes, the earth element rules over values. but it is also known that the earth is driven from its core (in a person from their inner self worth). earth is magnetic, feminine and inward meaning everything is focused within’ first.
earth signs spend their lives distinguishing between what is truly important to them and what is not. the earth element teaches that material things alone bring a false sense of security and values. earth teaches real value, and that everything revolves around the core.
your core consists of your inner values, your heart, your truth, your fears, and desires. it’s not the material things that adds value to you, but you who adds value to outer things by the way you experience it.
earth is about staying true to who you are, keeping your values, promises and commitments you made to yourself. many earth signs learn to build a character that is solid and unmovable and strive to fully accept themselves.
that’s why when taurus has their mind set, no one can move them. they know who they are and refuse to let anyone push them or shift them out of their position and beliefs. they honor their inner values too much to be easily influenced.
that’s why virgo can look at themselves or any situation or person, take it apart by looking at it from the inside and find a solution. they know that to heal themselves, they have to go within and cleanse all the spaces, leaving no rock unturned.
that’s why capricorn is always being tested. they go through many obstacles to see if they can stay committed to who they are and their true values. they know that with time, all their answers will come with clarity and that their problems will be resolved.

Okay, One Last Thing
For now.
I think people get the material world wrong. Like, Earth signs, and especially Capricorns, are pegged as boring and overly realistic and obsessed with the material, right?
But I think a lot of people ignore the material world in search of something closer to “enlightenment” or just something more “flashy.” But the material world isn’t just money and luxury clothes. That’s why I don’t identify at all with the “Capricorns are all CEOs” thing. 
Because the material world is the Earth and nature and all the things we love about being alive. It’s stinging cheeks and belly laughs and hugging one another. It’s the burn of muscles and sweat and hard work. It’s literally all the things that remind us that we are here and have a place in the world.
We conflate the material with more modern, capitalistic ideas. That’s why our connotations of the physical world feel cold. Sterile. That’s not earth. Like, yeah it’s solid, but not lasting. Not breathing. Not alive in the same way earth and stone is. 
In fact, I would think that a sign like Capricorn would test something like that. Test existing structures to see if they have anything real behind them, or if they’re unsustainable and flimsy. Capricorn asks “is this worthy of becoming a tradition?” “Is this worthy of being upheld?” “Is there soul behind this?” Because Saturn is the patriarch and protector. So if something doesn’t protect his family, then it’s useless. And if it actively harms?  Hasta la bye bye. 
Air is the intellect that informs us, water is the intuition that guides us, fire is the passion that fuels us, and earth is where we put all those things to use. Where we use that intellect and passion and knowing to create something lasting and good.

Okay, One Other Thing
Since it’s not like anyone is gonna see this blog and know I lied. 
Capricorns are not cold and emotionless. The Capricorn symbol is not just the goat, it’s the seagoat. If the goat can climb to the highest peaks of the tallest mountains, then the fishtail allows us to swim to the deepest depths of the ocean. Like, deep deep. Like, no one is going to know what you’re feeling deep. 
Everything with Capricorn is intense, and that includes emotions too. But we keep it inside to appear strong and in control and so that nobody drowns in our depths. Especially when we’re barely keeping afloat. 
Same thing with intuition. Nobody thinks that Capricorns engage with something as abstract as intuition, but that’s how we know where to place the next foot. Where to lay the next brick. It may not always look like psychic visions and spirit guides (although it may). Sometimes it’s just an uncanny knack for reading the world and seeing the warning signs.

Saturn’s Truth
So I literally made this blog to post one thing and probably disappear, but I see a lot of people saying that Capricorn’s are meant to live hard lives. And in part that seems kinda true: hard childhoods, hard work, lots of challenges. It teaches us to be strong and to bear that weight. 
Buuut I don’t think that’s all we’re supposed to do with that. Saturn is the harshest planet, the planet of limits and restrictions, and by all accounts that seems to mean reminding us of our limits. Painfully. All the time.
But it’s known that Capricorns have a habit of overthinking and perceiving limits that aren’t there and just stress us out. That doesn’t seem right for a sign whose major trait is realism. Blowing fears out of proportion is just as bad as being naively optimistic. So...what gives?
I don’t think any planet is there just to hurt you or guarantee a hard life. Saturn is the planet of limits because it’s the last planet that can be seen by the naked eye. It’s the planet with the heaviest energy. It’s the planet of realism and winter and harshness and cold. But it’s not actually the last planet in the solar system. And it’s the lightest planet. And for all of it’s harshness and cold, winter is the most festive season and Saturnalia was a merry celebration.
I don’t think Saturn is the planet of imposing limits. Saturn is the planet that asks you to defy yours. Of course running against those restrictions repeatedly in early life would make it feel like they’re unmovable, but Saturn is asking if you’re going to take those limits as fact, or go beyond them, much like we had to advance to see past Saturn to the other planets.
Saturn asks you to learn what limits are real and what are just paranoia, illusions meant to keep you small. Saturn asks you to know your limits so well that no one can impose their own on you. And that means knowing your strengths and testing yourself, defying old limits and finding new ones to overcome. That’s what makes us immovable. That inner core of iron and diamond. That inner mountain of adamant that means no matter what the world throws at us or which way Fate turns, we will hold our own. Because we’ve been through worse. And we can go through more. 
That’s why Capricorns become less stressed as they get older. Because they’ve finally learned how to carry that weight, and how much of it to let go. We hold onto everything, every past mistake and hardship, but winter is the season of letting go. More so, it’s the season of destroying what doesn’t serve us. Spring might be the season of new beginnings, but winter is the true fresh start. The blank slate. It’s looking out onto the world and seeing infinite opportunity to leave your mark.  
The burden it seems Capricorns bear is that sense of responsibility thrust on us, like that Saturn in our charts is forcing us to bear something we can’t handle. But we don’t have to carry anything we don’t want to. And the things we do carry give us control over our own lives. With great power comes great responsibility, yes, but with great responsibility comes great power. Choosing what parts of our lives we are responsible for means we have the power to change those things and make anything out of them. They become less burdens and more testaments. Like how Saturn effortlessly holds its rings together. 
That’s why Capricorns or people with strong 10th house placements want to be in the spotlight. We want to lead, we want to take responsibility for our lives and for the world. So we can help. So we can protect. Because we are the strongest and the oldest. Because we can. 
So my Dearest Capricorn Kings and Queens and Royals, hold your heads high. Much like our ruling planet, we carry crowns of diamond and ice. We have cores of iron. We are meant to live our lives full of love and hope, with the will to achieve whatever we want,  and the strength to defend it. We are meant to carry the traditions that mean something -the ones that hold our families together- into a future we carve with our bare hands. And if there are limits? If there is red tape or brick walls? Well, we break through them like they’re nothing. We destroy them and leave something new in its wake.
