Capricorn~ The Witch of Zodiac

Saturn’s magic is embodied in this, often underestimated, winter sign.

Born in the longest night, Capricorn, The Sea-Goat, rises from the deepest darkness to reach the highest point in the sky (Medium Coeli ~ MC).

Being Saturn-ruled is like answering to a higher authority in life…always. There is an acute awareness of the limited amount of time & resources we all have. Capricorn is walking the path with an end in sight since the first step. There has to be a meaning behind the actions, meaning found during the Sagittarius phase ~ a search. Now, we have the meaning & the ending.

All we have to do is ~ make it all count.

As with every sign, there is a potential for greatness and a potential for a Fall.

A wise witch (Capricorn) will always remember what being witch is all about:

Now that’s what I call magic—seein’ all that, dealin’ with all that, and still goin’ on. It’s sittin’ up all night with some poor old man who’s leavin’ the world, taking away such pain as you can, comfortin’ their terror, seein’ ‘em safely on their way…and then cleanin’ ‘em up, layin’ ‘em out, making ‘em neat for the funeral, and helpin’ the weeping widow strip the bed and wash the sheets—which is, let me tell you, no errand for the fainthearted—and stayin’ up the next night to watch over the coffin before the funeral, and then going home and sitting down for five minutes before some shouting angry man comes bangin’ on your door ‘cuz his wife’s havin’ difficulty givin’ birth to their first child and the midwife’s at her wits’ end and then getting up and fetching your bag and going out again…We all do that, in our own way. That is the root and heart and soul and center of witchcraft, that is. The soul and center!
