What it means

Goals are set for years and reached by plan, step by step. Anger isn't spilled out but turned into work and endurance. Difficulties and responsibility add to your strength rather than take it away.

The flip side is severity toward yourself and others; it's hard to allow yourself rest and spontaneity. Cold anger frightens more than shouting.

This isn't about you if you act on mood and long plans bore you.

How to check it on yourself

Check it against your past — write your answer down before you look at the chart.

  1. If your Mars is in Capricorn

    What should match. Recall your last three big goals. At least two you've pursued by plan for over a year, and your anger at obstacles goes into work, not quarrels.

    When it’s not about you. Two out of three were dropped after a month or two or were done on a whim — this isn't about you.
