People relate to the goat picture so here’s this from, May 2007 regarding Saturn in Virgo:

I chose the charity walk-a-thon analogy because Virgo is a do-gooder. But I thought I might point out some other things…

For example when you get to one of the water stations along the route, you are given water and nothing more. In a Dixie cup, no less. Not much is it? There is no foot rub, no applause, no massage and no one fawning over you. Just the bare minimum you need to keep going, water and a perhaps a smile or slight word of encouragement.

But as is the case with all things Saturn, once you accomplish something like this it cannot be taken from you.

To this day I can say, hey! I walked 20 miles for MS when I was 6 years old (with Henry). And because we did this every year for at least 5 or 6 years I have always known that if I had to walk 20 miles, I’d be able to do it. And if I can walk 20, I am sure I could walk 40 because all it would be is more of the same and I have proven my ability to persevere.

And then someone comes along to tell me I suck and I get to think, whaaat? I don’t suck. I can walk 20 miles in the sun without a blink, you foolish fool!

Or to quote my sister, a Capricorn rising dancer, once some gal with a privileged background was condescending towards her because of her late start in training. “Excuse me? I broke my back and I can still dance better than you,” she said. And it was a fact.

Don’t mess with a Capricorn who has paid their dues, that’s all I can say. Character is one heck of a commodity and I only know of one way to get any.

How did you earn your character?
