The Goat December 22 to January 20 Traditional Capricorn Traits Practical and prudent Ambitious and disciplined Patient and careful Humorous and reserved On the dark side.... Pessimistic and fatalistic Miserly and grudging Capricorn is one of the most stable and (mostly) serious of the zodiacal types. These independent, rocklike characters have many sterling qualities. They are normally confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking, unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for as long as is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for themselves. They are reliable workers in almost any profession they undertake. They are the major finishers of most projects started by the 'pioneering' signs; with firm stick-to-it-ness they quickly become the backbone of any company they work for. Capricornians make of themselves, resourceful, determined managers; setting high standards for themselves and others. They strive always for honesty in their criticism of self, they respect discipline from above and demand it from those beneath them. In their methodical, tough, stubborn, unyielding way, they persist against personal hardship, putting their families and/or their work before their own needs and welfare to reach their objectives long after others have given up and fallen by the wayside. In fact when practical ability allied with the drive of ambition are required in employees to make a project succeed, Capricornians are the people to hire. They plan carefully to fulfill their ambitions (which often include becoming wealthy), they are economical without meanness, and able to achieve great results with minimum effort and expense. Because of their organizing ability they are able to work on several projects simultaneously. They have a great respect for authority but may not, if they reach high rank, be willing to listen to other opinions on things they are directly responsible for. As the ranking authority figure in a given situation they expect their underlings to be as self disciplined as they themselves are, and to perform every task undertaken to the highest standard. They are, nevertheless, fair as well as demanding. Among their equals they are not always the most pleasant of work fellows for they are reserved and too conservative, valuing tradition more than innovation, however valuable the latter, and they are often humorless. There is also a tendency to pessimism, melancholy and even unhappiness which many Capricornians are unable to keep to themselves, especially if they fail personally. In the extreme this trait can make them a very depressed individual; ecstatic happiness alternating with the most wretched kind of misery which is so subconsciously buried that he or she should seek help if such emotions become frequent. For the above reason, capable Capricorn should spend many hours in meditation, gathering the strength to control such inner emotions. The swings in mood are not the only reason some Capricornians deserve the adjective based on their name - capricious. They can be surprisingly and suddenly witty and subtle for the quiet, reserved individuals they seem to be, and they also have a tendency to ruin things by unexpected and utterly irresponsible bouts of flippancy. In certain individuals in whom the characteristic is strong, the temptation to do this has to be resisted with iron self-control. Another unexpected quality in some Capricornians is an interest in the occult which persists in spite of their naturally skeptical turn of mind. Their intellects are sometimes very subtle. They think profoundly and deeply, throughly exploring all possibilities before deciding on a 'safe' alternative. They have good memories and an insatiable yet methodical desire for knowledge. They are rational, logical and clearheaded, have good concentration, delight in debate in which they can show off their cleverness by luring their adversaries into traps and confounding them with logic. In their personal relationships they are often ill-at-ease, if not downright unhappy. They are somewhat self-centered but not excessively so, wary and cautious around people they do not know very well, preferring not to meddle with others and in turn not to allow interference with themselves, thus they tend to attract people who do not understand them. Casual acquaintances they will treat with diplomacy, tact and, above all, reticence. They make few good friends but are intensely loyal to those they do make, and they can become bitter, and powerful enemies. They sometimes dislike the opposite sex and test the waters of affection gingerly before judging the temperature right for marriage. Once married, however, they are faithful, though inclined to jealousy. Most Capricornians marry for life. Their occupations can include most professions that have to do with math or money and they are strongly attracted to music. They can be economists, financiers, bankers, speculators, contractors, managers and real estate brokers. They excel as bureaucrats, especially where projects demanding long-term planning and working are concerned, and their skill in debate and love of dialectic make them good politicians. They are excellent teachers, especially as principals of educational establishments where they have the authority to manage and organize without too much intimacy with the staff members. If working with their hands, they can become practical scientists, engineers, farmers and builders. The wit and flippancy which is characteristic of certain Capricornians may make some turn to entertainment as a career. The Birth story. I woke up on sunday 2 of january at 8:45 when i heard a loud popping sound, i realized straight away that my waters were breaking and jumped out of bed. It was like a scene in a movie and the water came gushing out and i started loughing histerically and called out to Stephen to hand me some towels, he did that after making a loud oughh sound haha. I called the midwife and she told me she would be there soon, then i called everyone else that were going to be there. I told Stephen to go back to sleep and went into the kitchen and waited to feel the contractions and didn´t have to wait long. They were very mild at first and were coming every 5 minutes or so. The first person to arrive was my cousin Bylgja and very soon after that the midwife came. My mom and my sister followed and then Ásdis. Áslaug (the midwife) put a acupuncture needle in my forehead to calm me down and ran me a bath, when she examined me i was only about two centemeters dilated but she told me to go in the bath anyways to relax (the bath can slow down the dilation) i stayed in the bath for about two hours and by that time Ósk had arrived armed with a video camera. The contractions were very mild still and very short so Áslaug told me to come out of the bath and try and walk around a little bit and she also wanted to examine me, there had been no changes and i was still only about two to three cm dilated and she told me i had to try and move around for something to happen. She then told me she needed to go away for a half an hour or so and i was very comfortable with that as i wasn´t in much pain at that time. As soon as she left i started walking around a little and it didnt take long until the contractions started coming on stronger so i sat down in the kitchen with everyone by then the time was around 12:30, suddenly i felt i needed to throw up and ran to the bathroom and threw up for abour 5 minutes or something with strong conractions coming at least twice while i was at it outch!! After that i went into my bedroom and went on the bed the contactions were getting very strong at that point and i really couldnt speak while they were. I probably stayed on the bed moaning into my pillow for about 20 minutes with my mom rubbing my back and then i told her i wanted to go back in the bathtub, she ran the tub and as soon as i heard it was ready i ran to the bathroom and threw off my clothes and jumped in the tub. When i got in the tub the contractions started to get very strong and i wasn´t a very happy person. It was around 13:30 and Áslaug had told me she would be back then so i was keeping calm and she arrived just in time as the pain started to get REALLY BAD. The bathroom was full of people, there were Áslaug, my mom, my sister Kristín, my friend Ásdís, my cousin Bylgja and Ósk sat on the toilet with the video camera,and Stephen sat behind me on the floor, so a full house but i was so far away in my own world i didn´t notice any of these people exept maybe the midwife. About half an hour after Áslaug came back i felt i wanted to start pushing and sort of moaned it to her and she examined me and told me i was 9 cm dilated and that it was ok for me to push with the next contraction, when she said that i sort of came to and i remember that it felt like ages until that blessed contraction came but finally it came and i sort of pushed slowly but very strongly once and the head was born. Then i gave one more little push and little Aþena was pulled out of the water crying and all pink and covered in fat at that time it was 14:03. Áslaug gave her to me straight away and i remember that i didn´t look at her strayght away couse i felt i couldnt open my eyes just yet couse i´d had them closed for such along time. I finally looked at her and she was so funny looking all squashed and very unhappy to be pulled away from such a warm cozy place. Ásdis then got the honors of cutting the cord as Stephen didn´t have the stomack for it and the Stepen got to take her away to the bedroom to be dressed. The placenta came 5 minutes after the baby and was perfect and not to be forgotten Aþena got a whopping ten out of ten on her apgar score as soon as she came out!! I stumbled out of the bathtub and into the bedroom for the midwife to examine me yet again and happy happy no stitches needed:) When everyone had left that night it really felt like nothing happened wich was so strange as something really amazing had actually just happened!!;) |
