Capricorn - What kind of spouse are you?

 THE CAPRICORN HUSBAND: DECEMBER 22 / JANUARY 19.

The Capricorn husband falls in readily enough with domestic scheme but adds little to its spiritual success. This type of man usually marries but his reasons are supremely selfish. Of course selfishness has been ascribed to plenty of other kinds of men but the basic nature of Capricorn is selfish.

As husbands these men are good providers for they are ambitious and successful in business most of the time. They do not allow much freedom of action to their wives so that even if there is plenty of money in the home the wife is not free to spend it. A Capricorn husband is very dictatorial as well as conservative and lays down hard and fast rules for the spending of his money. In fact the entire household is directed by this type of husband to whom his wife is a lieutenant. As a commanding officer he is exacting tyrannical obstinate and unreasonable laying down laws for the family routine that may be in accordance with good discipline but wholly unsympathetic to a happy home.

He is generally not a good emotional companion for his wife having neither the ability nor the willingness to give even a part of himself to create an atmosphere of enjoyment much less to add to the real pleasure of the moment. He demands that everything be given to him and examines whatever he gets with caution and suspicion. He would never believe that some contribution from himself was necessary to heighten his own enjoyment and he would never be willing to give of himself even if convinced. His passions are strong but quick and he considers them entirely animal to be satisfied and disposed of without development or delicacy.

Naturally the harsh tone that this birth figure casts over a personality is usually tempered by the other configurations. In that case many of the sober Capricorn qualities are embellished by softer moods making of course a much more agreeable person.

THE CAPRICORN WIFE: DECEMBER 22 / JANUARY 19.

The sign of Capricorn does not favor women. That is not in the sense of creating a womanly woman intuitive sensitive variable and spiritual. The Capricorn woman is rather masculine in her appearance and in her temperament as well. She is capable faithful dependable and systematic.

Household routine is a joy to her and she is one of the finest housekeepers of all of the Zodiacal types. She is a cook she is an economist she is somewhat of a hostess and she is very ambitious for her husband’s and children’s success in the world.

With all of these necessary virtues brought to such a high scale of perfection it is somewhat odd that the Capricorn wife is not advertised from the house tops as being the ideal of wives.

What the Capricorn female personality lacks is the soft feminine sympathy the plaint submissiveness and the physical responsiveness of the Libra or the Pisces woman. The emotional generosity of the Aries or the Leo woman is absent. Even the hearty comradeship of the Sagittarian woman is not there. In its place we find the efficient trained house keeper scrupulous in her integrity and a slave to her duty.

Many men prefer less perfection and more warmth. In many ways this is all very unfair to the Capricorn wife. She is really an admirable kind of women needing most of all encouragement and affection to call forth all of her deep loyalty which once given, lasts a lifetime.

Men of a more serious practical nature who do not seek spiritual or emotional companionship from their wives but wish their home life to run along smoothly rather like a high–class hotel will find this type of wife very satisfactory.
