Capricorn II: Cathedral

Written By Laura Joyce

Cardinal earth: relics, centuries, buildings

  • Atmosphere: Cathedral

  • Sign: Capricorn

  • Plant: Hawthorn

  • Planet: Mars + Venus

  • Dates: 1 January – 12 January

  • Tarot: 3 of Pentacles

And then we’re both laughing and she’s moving into me harder and my body fills with light and air, is as expansive as an empty cathedral.

– Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin, Ordinary Saints

Capricorn II is about stability and grounding. Like all earth signs, Capricorn wants to build something lasting.

I think of Capricorn as the sign of cathedral-building, and Capricorn II as the most cathedral-building part.

The person under this decan know that they may not see the work completed in their lifetime, but that doesn’t stop them taking care with every piece of stone, nor will they rush and compromise on quality just to get to the end.

Capricorn II is about consistency, habit, and routine, but only because this is the best container for wild creativity.

Capricorn II asks what environment is needed for the deepest work, and how you will use time, the most precious resource.

Capricorn II will support you to dig deep, find the most luscious materials, and create your cathedral.
