Hi everyone! I am new to lindaland and I am enjoying this website so much. I just recently got into astrology, I became hooked when someone did my chart and I saw how accurate it was. It explained why I am the way that I am. Now I am an "astro-addict" and I can't get enough. Which brings me to the point of my subject. I am a capricorn and I have been reading alot about capricorns as well as other signs. The universal statement about cappy women is that we are "practical", "conservative", "goal-oreinted" and blah, blah, blah. Boooring! Then I read about signs like scorpio's (which is my mother's sign as well as many of my close girlfriend's) and it goes on an on about how "sexy", "sensual" and "exotic" they are; "powerful", "magnetic" and the list goes on. This is all true of course. My mother and my friends are all those things but why does the capricorn woman have to be all work and no play? And might I add that many of the most beautiful, sexy, magnetic women in the world just happen to be capricorns. Supermodel's Kate Moss, Helena Christenson, and Kristy Turlington. Film legend Ava Gardner and late R&B singer, the stunning Aaliyah. It doesn't get any sexier than that! I just wanted to express that. Any cappy women who want to speak on this subject, please do! And for the record, I am far from practical, prudent, organized etc. I am a wild girl, who loves to party, flirt and have many new adventures. That is why my chart was eye opening to me because every time I read about capricorns I thought; "That's not me." It is in some respect but not totally. I am very determined and goal oriented though, that is correct. SUN~ Capricorn MOON~ Sagittarius ASCENDANT~ Pisces MERCURY~ Capricorn VENUS~ Scorpio MARS~ Gemini JUPITER~ Aries SATURN~ Leo URANUS~ Scorpio NEPTUNE~ Sagittarius PLUTO~ Libra TRUE NODE~ Scorpio P.S. If anyone knows of a website or book that talks about the other qualities of capricorn's besides us being "determined goats that slowly climb their way to the top of the mountain" please let me know. Thanks!IP: Logged |

Don't worry Sxygrl7 Capricorns are sexy too.The first thing that popped out at me was your Venus in Scorpio. Astrologer Isabel Hickey describes this placement as: "Venus in Scorpio is in detriment. Venus cannot function well in a domain ruled by Mars. Passion and aggressiveness need curbing when Venus is in Scorpio. There is a selfishness masked by a friendly outward manner. Selfish desire and self will are too strong. Can be cruel or suffer from cruelty because of karma tied with the misuse of the love principle. Makes individual strongly passionate yet can be very inhibited. The love nature needs regeneration and reorientation. Though they can be very attractive to the opposite sex, their love is usually a stormy one until the lack of real lovingness is recognized and redeemed." Also, by looking at the houses each planet is in will give you a better understanding of how these planets are operating. Not to mention the aspects between the planets. You also have Uranus and the north node in Scorpio. Depending on how close these planets are, there may be a conjunction. Which would give even more insight into your nature. Astro.com is a great website where you can learn alot about your own personal chart by typing in your birth data into the My Astro part. Unlike just telling you about your sun sign like alot of sites do, this sight goes in depth, because it uses your unique birth info. And it's free. IP: Logged |

Caps can be quite sexy, particularly with venus in scorpio. With a Pisces ascendant, the sensualnous would be increased.Caps have their serious side, but they are very sexy when the mood hits them. Lanny IP: Logged |

Hi Sxygrl7. Cappys boring? Not the ones I know! My husband is a Cap. He is also a spectacular singer, musician, and performer, plus being the sexiest man I've ever seen. (He looks like a cross between Johnny Depp and Pierce Brosnan with black hair and sky blue eyes.) Plus he has the very Capricorn attribute of not aging. He looks almost the same now as he did 10 years ago. Since he is Sag rising, he is also much more of a free spirit than the average Cap. For you, with Pisces rising and a Sag moon, forget dull and plodding...you can fly, swim, or climb anywhere your heart takes you.IP: Logged |

Thank you Llog and 26Taurus. I do know the houses that they are in but not quite sure what it means. Astro gave me a bit of a description but if you know more great! Venus is in the 9th house, True node is in 8/9th house, sun is in the 11th house, mars is in the 4th house, and jupiter is in the 1st. I'm still learning the meaning behind all that. 26Taurus, that venus in scorpio description is pretty accurate. I have had many passionate yet tumultuos relationships and I can be overtly sexual one minute and a complete prude the next. That can be a bit confusing to the opposite sex I have learned, IP: Logged |

I'm an Aries...with moon, jupiter and saturn all in Cappy. I don't think anyone would tell you I'm boring! A little too blunt sometimes, but not boring. I love sexy stuff...and I have been told that I have been blessed with the Cappy lack of aging. For which I am truly grateful. I love Cappies! And FK...you are soooo lucky. IP: Logged |

That lack of aging trait is a good one I admit! I seem to look younger as I get older but I'm not complaining. IP: Logged |

The aging thing also effects those with Cap Ascendants. I'm 62 and most people think I'm in my late 40's. Of course the gray dosen't help, but its the skin that doesn't seem to age. No wrinkles or other signs of aging.Lanny IP: Logged |

The last time I went to 'the bar', this man who had seen me there before, said I was 'better than Penthouse' This is a compliment? I mean, he meant well .... and he couldn't place my age. This other woman said she pegged me for twenty. (I told her I loved her) I have a Cappy moon. He also said " Who's that other hot red head you come here with?" ( ahhhh.. such a way with words...) That hot redhead? My Capricorn mother, who looks like she's my Capricorn older sister. I certainly told her about the compliment! (I guess it was a compliment....) Yep, she does seem to improve with age.IP: Logged |

Cappy rising here and ' 'gulp' I`d like to think I`m aging gracefully too. ?------------------ If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans. ~James Herriot IP: Logged |

I am also Cap. rising and get mistaken for looking much younger than I am. I don't mind one bit. Hopefully it stays that way. IP: Logged |

sxygrl17-hi! I am a capricorn with pisces rising too. there is an interesting thread about rising signs and what influence they have on our looks. You should check it out. There are two of us pisces rising's on there and we both look similiar. Interesting. How old are you? That whole capricorn boring thing can almost give a cappy a complex cant it? I find that how I look on the outside is, on occassion, completely mistaken. Sometime I feel happy and silly, but people think I am totally serious. Not always, but it has happened. And I find that sometimes I have to consciously make sure i have a smile on my face so that people dont think that! Pisces rising makes me feel sensitive and Capricorn can make me look totally opposite. it is weird and CAN be frustrating. I find that people really have to get to know me before they realize who i really am. i dont just indulge that right away. Pisces rising has to do that! IP: Logged |

Thanks Crystelle, that was a cool link. I loved the pictures, everyone is so gorgeous!So we both have the same sun and ascendant, you are the first person I know that has shared that with me. I am 28 and I have similar features as well. I am 5'6" with dark brown hair. I am of mixed decent (black, french and native american) so my hair is really curly. It looks thick but when I straighten it, it is fine. I have a curvy medium athletic build (I've been told I have an "hour glass shape" ). My eyes are also dark brown (almost black) and almond shaped. My skin is an olive tone, a little on the fair side. I am one of the lightest skinned siblings and I also have a few freckles sprinkled across my nose. I have full lips and high cheekbones and big white teeth as well. That's pretty amazing that we have many similar features and we are probably of a different race.My skin is also very soft and I either burn or tan easily in the sun. My look is exotic, people always ask me what I am. They also can't quite figure out my age either. I've been told that I can look like a teenager one minute and a grown woman the next. Do you get that? Also, I have a sophistication to me. Even if I am in sweats and a baseball cap I look as if I was bread in royalty. I know that is a cappy trait that I like. People's first impression of me is class and grace and they watch they're language around me. Then when I open my mouth and throw a few "bad words" in they are shocked. It's funny, I have a bit of a trash mouth but I am working on it. But I have noticed that all the cappy women I know have that regalness to them. It's a nice and not so boring quality I guess.

I have no cappy in my chart, so I went out and got me one! heheAnd me, a gemini... Good thing he's got a gemini asc/libra moon, and me with libra asc and taurus moon...it's and he's not boring, not at all...I love cappy humour. And what becomes of a gemini/cappy relationship? You have a saggy boy, with a cappy moon and a big heart (and that wonderful sense of humour! lol) Even though I DO have to keep face, so I tell my cappy that he actually really wishes to be a gemini, that he got lucky enough to get the ascendant...have a hard time getting him to believe me. Man, it's hard to convince a goat! Nackie IP: Logged |

nackie, I am a capricorn and my partner is a gemini. For some reason, I actually really attract and am attracted to gemini's. we think it actually works well, and we learn a lot from one another. Although, i have no gemini in my chart, he says i have some invisible gemini in there. With our ascendents both in water signs, we think that helps us connect.Sxygrl17- I am 26. When i was in elementary school, i was always told I look older than my age. But as soon as i graduated from high school, people began to say I look younger. I am small in stature, and people always call me "little innocent crystelle" until they get to know me. those same people then say to others "dont let her fool ya". And i think people have these preconcieved ideas about who I am, and each time they are often very different impressions. I guess that is Neptune. My partner says I have so many different looks to me (our cat is also a pisces and she takes on differnt looks often). Being a gemini, this adds interest from his perspective, so important to gemini. I also have native american decent, so that does explain some of our similarities in appearance i suppose. my moon- virgo mercury- sagittarius venus- capricorn mars- leo jupiter- cancer saturn- virgo IP: Logged |

Ah, little "innocent Christelle." Yup, I get that too. Wow, that is so amazing! We look like but really were Nackie, I dated a sag with a cap moon. He was great but couldn't be with one woman. I was crazy about him but soon had to let it go. He needed to grow up. IP: Logged |

ummm... don't know how i missed this thread!right on, Sexy, cappy women ARE much more than meets the eye - and that can be an eyeful, too! i often give a first impression of being aloof or snobby, but it's really that i just take time to observe - and THEN the cat gets let outta the bag! that's okay - i don't mind being underestimated but the driven-capricorn-intent-on-wealth-and-prestige thing gets old, huh? i'm a cap sun. i have cancer rising and moon in aries - so our elements are the same, too. i'm 5'4" with medium length, very curly hair - light auburn when i'm not in the sun too much - in summer it gets blonder. smallish light blue eyes - which i couldn't have escaped - and like you i have "a curvy medium athletic build" (yup, you could tell time by it). i have very fair skin, though when i do manage a tan (which is a sloooooow process) i often get mistaken for foreign. i think it's the wacky hair and the high cheekbones - but in the winter i look fairly irish. not much to say about nose - it's not really an impressive nose. i like my hands - they're strong but not too manly. ummm, i guess that's about all. oh, VERY big forehead - unfortunately! i think my biggest hats-off to my cappie sun is that i dress pretty conservatively (i like to say "classic" ) - but definitely throw in at least one funky/retro/trendy accessory. is their a planetary position in charge of accessories? hehehe - by the way, my dad's a cappie and when he and i go out we get mistaken for a couple - !!! i can't wait to see this reverse-aging thing in action IP: Logged |

Hey Xelena! It's so funny, I try very hard to not come off as conservative but no matter how hard I try my best friend (who is a ) just laughs and says "You are still conservative but that's a good thing." NO!! It can't be! Yup, I'm a capricorn. But at least I still get carded when we go out together. IP: Logged |
