For Jan 2009 : Happy Birthday, Capricorn! Unlike some Capricorns, you possess a sunny, apparently easy-going disposition much of the time. You instinctively understand the importance of balancing responsibility with play and relaxation. You are more likely to anticipate miracles than most Capricorns. Your pronounced creativity and vivid imagination make art appreciation part of your lifestyle. Some of you become artists, while others collect favorite works and raise money and consciousness in the name of art. You take a very democratic approach to the art world. The more you know about a particular painter, musician or architect, the more curious and enthused you become. Very few of you are art snobs, assuming that only a rarified group can understand or participate in creative expression. Most of you enjoy all forms of artistic expression. The older you get, the more appreciative you are of indigenous or primitive art. You're very aware of presentation. That might include everything from the frame or lighting enveloping a painting to the lot a new home is built on. Stability, staying power and structural integrity have great value for you. Unlike some Capricorns, you tend to give others numerous second chances, and may get burned from time to time. It's not in your nature to be punishing or vindictive. In fact, you'd rather punish yourself instead of anyone else. Only the people you're closest to - the ones that have been part of your life for ages - know about your fears and demons. The rest of the world gets treated to a bright smile and what appears to be a happy life. You're actually very private and unwilling to discuss personal matters with others, possibly because you find it distasteful to reveal so much. You also suspect that others have only a fleeting interest in the details of your life. It's important to do daily stretching to enhance flexibility and strength, particularly for your hips, knees, and shoulders. And make sure you're getting plenty of calcium in your diet.
