I stated on the Paul Newman post that I have had the ambition to not only live well but to die well and Jessica asked:

“Why do you say 8 years old, Elsa? Isn’t that about the age you got into astrology, too?”

Jessica, it is. For this Capricorn rising, 8 years old (give or take) was a defining moment in life. This coincides with the first Saturn square which is invariably inordinately important for for Saturn types.

My son has Saturn conjunct his Sun and I wrote about his first Saturn square a few times. One example I also went on record to say I thought it quite possible his life would never be as difficult as what he endured 7-8 years old and this the the point:

Answering dreamsAreality’s very good questions:

“Elsa, you said: “My partner is emotional, needy, and dependent. That’s not me or anything…”

Were you being facetious here????”

No I was not being facetious. What Capricorn wants to admit they neeeeed anything? That’d be the other guy!

“I’m confused now. Am I supposed to be looking at what’s IN my 7th House AND what the cusp is?”

Yes.

If so, how to integrate it is the key to something? WHAT?

No you don’t “integrate” it because it is already integrated. Your seventh house is part of you not the other guy. It’s your chart so how could it be theirs? So forget integrating that which is already integrated.

Dear Life,

I feel sorry for you. It’s obvious from your chart that your life is authentically difficult and burdened and I wish I had some trick or way to show you an easy way out. But the fact is, if you want anything to change you will have to change it yourself. Because as you know people are not in the habit of giving you a break. So what’s that mean?

It means you have to give yourself a break. It means you cannot wait or rely on anyone to let you out of these oppressive contracts and obligations. You have to take responsibility, not for others but for yourself.

To do this, please define your goals and once you have, start to move slowly and methodically in a direction that brings you nearer to them. And I think you will be very surprised at how the universe will support your right action. A little at first and then more and more as you move further along.

But it’s up to you. You have to stop telling yourself that you can’t and start telling yourself that you must. And as a fellow Capricorn rising and a person who escaped decades of oppressive family obligations, I can tell you this can be done. But if you do not decide to save yourself and start to work your way towards a satisfying life of freedom, I am afraid like you, that there is no hope. Because your family is not going to cut you loose, are they?

Start small, but start today. Start carving out chunks of time and space that are your own. And understand you are not here to sacrifice your life so that others can remain dependent, but to manifest your own life… one that makes you feel proud and satisfied. In other words, you have permission to live a happy life.

Much love and good luck.
