The CAPRICORN Child

"Oh, how I -wish I could shut up like a telescope! I-think I could, if I only knew how to begin ..."

"Pat her on the head, and see how pleased she'll be!... A little kindness- and putting her hair in papers- would do wonders with her-"

Should you be one of those individuals who perceives newborn infants as miniature old men and women, mothers will not object if you reserve such descriptions exclusively for Capricorn babies. These tiny goats possess a striking resemblance to miniature octogenarians. They exhibit an aged countenance in their youth, only to appear refreshingly youthful in their later years. That wrinkled visage in the bassinet will one day transform into a smooth, unlined face when others are plagued by the wear and tear of time. Perhaps it's connected to being born in January, bridging the gap between the old year's end and the arrival of the New Year. This peculiar juxtaposition mirrors the image of an aged man with his careworn face juxtaposed with the newborn infant of the New Year, bearing a visage as pure as Ivory soap.

If you are blessed with a Capricorn child, you shall swiftly realize the paradoxical nature of their being. Even as an infant, your self-possessed little Capricorn will make you slightly uneasy with their peculiar maturity. You may utter cheerful phrases to them, such as "Does the itty bitty Baby Boo desire a scrumptious sugary cake?" In response, they will offer a serious, contemplative gaze, as though pondering just how absurd you can be. It doesn't require many of those piercing looks to shame the average parent into abandoning baby talk altogether.

Capricorn children possess strong wills and definite preferences, yet they don't create a scene to express them. Your little goat won't throw a temper tantrum or dramatically slam their fist into a mound of mashed potatoes. Nevertheless, they possess a talent for communicating their displeasure with remarkable clarity. A mother may experience a vague sense of intimidation in the presence of a Capricorn baby, although she may struggle to pinpoint the exact reason. Somehow, he or she makes her feel- well, foolish and not quite up to the mark. Let's be candid. The child's demeanor causes the mother to feel like the child, rather than the parent.

This infant is not the type to waver or succumb to wishful thinking. They crawl or waddle purposefully towards their intended destination. One might get the impression that they carefully organized the entire plan in their mind while their diaper was being changed, and now they are resolutely executing it. They are nothing if not decisive. Capricorns never shy away from making their desires known. Their message is crystal clear. Then, they patiently await your response. Suppose you respond with a "no." If it's a matter of little significance, they will likely accept the disappointment without shedding tears. However, if it's something they've deemed truly important, they will obtain it, one way or another. Your "no" holds little sway over them. Rather than engaging in a battle, they will ignore your denial and bide their time until they gradually wear you down, until you ultimately relent.

As they grow older, your Capricorn child will naturally develop a sense of routine in their life. They will ensure their toys occupy a designated space, and will become perturbed should you move them or disrupt their carefully organized system. If they embody the quintessential Saturnian child, they will willingly adhere to schedules for meals and bathroom breaks. Their interest in childish pranks or playful antics may be limited compared to other children. Even at a tender age, these boys and girls exhibit a distinct preference for the comfort of home life. The little goat would rather go on a picnic with their parents, or sit at home while the adults engage in conversation, rather than venture outside to join a group of children their own age. They seldom seek out large groups of friends. Instead, they may have a select few close companions, or perhaps only one special confidant with whom they share their innermost secrets.

School is rarely a struggle for young Capricorn students. Unless their ascendant clashes with their Sun sign, or the Moon was in a restless position at their birth, these children generally excel academically. They will arrive home, hang up their coat, and immediately sit down to tackle their homework. If they are true Capricorns, they cannot fully enjoy their playtime until they have attended to their duties.

When leisure time arrives, Saturn's play often manifests as an imitation of adults. Little Capricorn girls adore dressing up in their mother's clothing. On occasion, they may propose, "You be the baby, and I'll be the Mommy." This scenario might make you feel slightly uncomfortable, as the tot convincingly assumes the reverse role. Standing in the playpen, gurgling while peering over large spectacles, clad in your high heels and pearls, she firmly states, "Do be still, or you'll be sent to bed without supper." You get the peculiar sensation that you'd better halt the game swiftly, lest she truly tucks you into bed. Capricorn boys, on the other hand, enjoy pretending to be teachers, doctors, executives of vast corporations, or even their own fathers. When your young son dons your husband's overcoat and grasps his pipe, you may inexplicably feel tempted to request that he drive to the supermarket and procure a carton of eggs. Of course, you quickly remember that he cannot operate anything more complicated than a scooter, and he frequently ends up with scraped knees from that. Capricorn children also take pleasure in painting, drawing, and listening to music, but they seldom waste their leisure hours on aimless games. They are often engrossed in creating something practical, even if it's an exceptionally thin pot holder or a comically wobbly pencil case. Encourage them to engage in outdoor activities. Though they may not exhibit great enthusiasm for seeking sunshine and breathing in the fresh air, it is beneficial for their well-being, as it clears away the gloomy cobwebs of Saturn that sometimes cloud their young minds.

Teachers generally find Capricorn children pleasant to instruct, though they may occasionally become impatient with their slow, stubborn learning style. Nonetheless, the teacher will rarely complain of frivolous daydreaming or neglect of studies. These young scholars tend to perform exceptionally well academically once they have grasped the fundamentals. They may not learn quickly or display flashy brilliance, yet they are meticulous and diligent. The concentration associated with Saturn is not to be underestimated. It leads to accolades and top grades.

When your young goat arrives home with a report card boasting high marks for obedience, studiousness, and reliability, but with comments such as "reluctant to participate in class discussions," "refuses to recite," "timid, lacks confidence, and struggles to mingle with other students," you may begin to worry that you have raised an introverted bookworm, an individual hopelessly averse to social interaction. Then, one day, your little Capricorn casually mentions that they must arrive at school early to call the roll. You inquire, "Why must you call the roll?" Their response will astonish you. "Oh, because I'm the class president." When you exclaim, "Why didn't you tell us?" they will casually respond with modesty, "Well, it's not that important." Yet, a blush will creep upon their cheeks, revealing their delight. This pattern often repeats throughout their lives. Although they may appear slower than others, seemingly introverted and shrouded in shadows, they will quietly and inevitably assume positions of leadership, as the extroverts recognize them as trustworthy and responsible individuals. Capricorn may be assigned the task of guarding treasures and maintaining records, while the gregarious ones indulge in play and dreams. Yet, they will never feel burdened by this responsibility. What they seek is respect and authority.

Occasionally, a Capricorn child may assert dominance over weaker friends or siblings with their stubborn will, which can border on childhood cruelty. However, more often than not, the Capricorn child submits to the influence of stronger Sun signs. This can lead to issues where siblings or peers boss the little goat around, and you may feel that they are being unfairly treated. Do not fret. Capricorns possess the ability to take care of themselves. I know of a particular Capricorn girl who wholeheartedly defers to her older, more assertive Sagittarian sister. With the patience typical of earth signs, she obediently follows the orders of her fiery sibling. She never talks back or argues. However, after enduring an especially severe bout of bossiness, the older sister inexplicably finds her shoes, hairbrush, or favorite sweater "missing." Eventually, these items are recovered, and nobody in the family has the faintest idea how they became "lost." For several weeks thereafter, the bossy sister becomes significantly more considerate. Never underestimate the power of Capricorn's self-preservation instincts. Somehow, the scales always find a way to balance.

In the presence of individuals of the opposite sex, little goats tend to exhibit shyness but intense curiosity. You may hear them make remarks such as "Boys are drippy goons" or "Girls are stupid creeps." Yet, they become mysteriously excited when Valentine's Day approaches at school and they send a multitude of cards, all signed with a teasing "guess who." The adolescent years can be emotionally tumultuous for them. They will require encouragement and sensitive guidance when they start dating.

Being the parents of a January-born boy or girl is a true blessing. With few exceptions, it feels like receiving a gift from the divine. Unless pushed too far, at which point they may utter something cruel and cutting, Capricorn children are generally as sweet as the "sugy cake" they claim to abhor.

If you find yourself short on rent money, you can always borrow a few twenties from their well-stocked piggy bank. They will exhibit politeness towards their elders and obedient behavior without needing frequent reminders, except for occasional stubborn streaks. They will organize their tasks diligently and possess a genuine concern for their future, although you may need to remind them to scrub behind their ears. They will remain devoted to their home and family, seldom leaving you wondering where they are. Most of the time, they will be right beside you, cherishing every moment spent together. They harbor their own bright, grounded, and pragmatic dreams. Fear not if they overlook Sleeping Beauty and Goldilocks. When you reach old age, feeling lost and forgotten by a thoughtless younger generation, your Capricorn son or daughter will genuinely respect your wisdom. They will enthusiastically extend an invitation for you to visit or even make your home with them. It's almost as if the Capricorn child is saying, this time for real, "Now, I'll be the Mommy (or Daddy), and you be the baby. You cared for me with love, and now I'll take care of you." There will be no pretense in their actions, and Hans Christian Andersen himself could not have written a happier ending.
