Dearest hardworking Capricorn
Noone is as tireless as you
No matter what challenges and obstacles
You meet on your path
You continue your journey up the mountain
Step by step by step
Purposefully and focused
Patiently and disciplined
You know that it takes will and dedication
To make your dreams and visions come true
You’re a leader
You’re not afraid to take the lead
To walk alone
In the cave of loneliness
And the melancholic silence
You know that you have to do what you can
And it is rare to meet someone
With as much integrity as you
You don’t try to be someone
Or something
You aren’t truly
It takes time really getting to know you
To get you to open up and share
Your vulnerability, you sensitivity, your insecurities
You prefer being the strong one
That others can lean on
Being a rock for your friends, your family, your partner
You feel you best when you’re the one
Who’s in control
And it can be very hard for you to give in
And let go
And trust that the world doesn’t fall apart
Just because you sometimes do
There’s always another mountain to climb
A taller one with even harder terrain than the previous one
You never stop
To just be
Enjoy the fruit of your past labours
And give yourself the recognition you deserve
All we want for you is
To be more gentle and accepting and loving
Towards yourself
And by that, also towards others
To give yourself permission to rest, calm down and restitute
Just like all other living beings need
You’re an old soul
Wise and clever and thoughtful
You’re like the mountain goat that reaches the top of the mountain
Gaze out at the horizon and see what long and twisted distance
It has crossed
From here you touch the celestial sphere
Let experiences and insights from your path
Merge and integrate
In the hour of inauguration
You connect the earthly with the spiritual
The human and the soul
You recognize that your existence is not complete
In one or the other
But that the two together
In harmony and cohesion
With both feet planted firmly on the ground
Dear Capricorn
Trust yourself
Trust the world around you
And that there is a bigger meaning to it all
Do what you can
Do what you must
