The force of will · Earth, cardinal

You want to get somewhere and organize your effort in steps, accepting years of work for a result that only appears later. You do not waste a fight: when you are dissatisfied, you do not shout, you simply stop counting on the person, and that silent withdrawal is usually much harder than an argument.

The light of this placement

Your persistence is the most reliable there is: you keep going after the enthusiasm is gone, which is exactly when most people stop.

The shadow — what to work on

You treat your own body as an unlimited resource, pushing rest off to later, and can be harsh with yourself in a way you would never be with anyone else.

Mars: what it means in the chart

It shows how you fight, desire and assert yourself. It's the planet that explains why one person explodes and another stews for days, and why some only find out they were angry long afterward.

Capricorn

Capricorn is the sign of those who take on early what was never meant to be theirs. It builds to last, measures effort by results and distrusts shortcuts. People with it strong tend to mature ahead of time and relax later: life gets lighter as they prove to themselves that they can handle it.
