Capricorn is the Cardinal Earth and in negative or yin polarity. Earth is a symbol for direct sense experience of the physical universe, without ideas, concepts, beliefs, or wishful thinking to cloud perception. It practical and grounded and ask for results. It symbolises the quality of being substantial and material. Earth is the ultimate arena in which the acts we perform become manifest, it is effective for actualisation, for turning dreams into reality. This element has an appreciation of linear time and letting job unfold, not wanting to feel rushed and pushed. Unlike Fire, the earth signs natural inclination is to move slowly and cautiously. Resources are important when Earth is involved in vocation. You can find these qualities in Taurus and Virgo as well.

When there is lacking, the sign is often reduced to bitter complaints and deep anxiety.
