星座商业伙伴之摩羯篇

 　　CAPRICORN

　　December 22 to January I9

　　The Capricorn person is fairly will adapted to partnership¹. Natives are honest, dependable and tremendous workers. Their special talent is business and the whole commercial scheme. It appears from these statements that they would make exceptionally good partners, and as far as the business procedure and routine go, they are well-nigh perfect.

　　But the disposition² of the Capricorn person is against him. The moon in Capricorn has been called the “Figure of the Devil”, and though the solar position is a little less intense, the qualities are almost as forbidding, austere³ (almost inhumanly⁴ so), dogmatic, and whose final word is law. Harsh, driving and severe, the manner is always dour⁵, suspicious and unrelenting. These qualities do not make for a reasonable business relationship, no matter how much capability⁶ is brought to bear.

　　The Capricornians themselves prefer to work alone, and are frequently specialists in their line (whatever it is), so detailed⁷ and exhaustive are their research and study.
