Capricorn Sun Sign and Essential Oils

Capricorn, 10^th sign of the zodiac falls between Dec 22- Jan 20.  Symbolized by the Goat, Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign meaning they are ambitious, creative initiators with a grounded practical energy.  Capricorns are conventional, cerebral, cautious, hard working and reliable.  Many people go to a Capricorn because they are the “rock” they need to lean on.   Capricorns have a need for purpose and direction which comes from their ruling planet Saturn.  Saturn, in astrology represents structure, boundaries, time, caution and wisdom.    Capricorns take on too much and deplete themselves, always needing to be needed.  I’ve known a few Capricorns who were guilty of this, always worried about security in all forms: financial, emotional and physical, not just for themselves but for others as well. This can be exhausting to anyone on the outside looking it.  Capricorns are goal setters with definitive guidelines as they need structure.  More often than not, once a goal is reached they will soldier on to higher and better aspirations.   The Saturn power helps the Capricorn with discipline, strength and staying power to achieve goals they set.

You will find a Capricorn is quite active with hiking, running, you name it they are involved in it or at least have tried it.  With all this movement they may have to tendency to complain about their joints and muscles.

The Capricorn ego can get on the nerves of others, as they believe their way is the best way, no matter what way it is! They are often hard on themselves, being a perfectionist who is never satisfied; the Cap needs to remember they possess a goofy goat inside. 

Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanoides) essential oil aroma is grounding, earthy, heavy yet sweet, often is associated with the Capricorn.   Commonly referred to as the Oil of Tranquility in Sri Lanka, this essential oil is superb for the Capricorn who is burnt out physically, mentally and emotionally.  Vetiver essential oil is also associated with the root chakra, as is the Capricorn.  Another purpose of Vetiver is alleviating muscle and joint discomfort, indeed useful for the active Goat!  Being secretive and somewhat of a loner are two more Capricorn traits.  Vetiver can stir those deep soul secrets, softening those emotional blockages by awakening the Capricorn to recognize they are actually not alone in the world. Vetiver promotes wisdom, as does Saturn, self value and integrity.

Lemon (Citrus limon) with its high vibration can boost any sour mood with joy. Its light, clean, fresh aroma engages the psyche with liveliness and an aura of happiness.  This invigorating scent bestows clarity, awareness and direction to those to inhale the aroma.  A wonderful olfactory morning treat to help set the tone for the day ahead.     Lemon can also be calming yet uplifting to those washed-out Capricorns who are emotionally strained. Capricorns need to lighten up at times and the lemon aromatic bliss can facilitate that.

Pine (Pinus sylvestris) has a clean, woody leafy aroma that resonates with the Capricorn month of December, January. When I look at a Pine tree I notice its straight trunk, reminding of the logical and practical Capricorn. Pine encourages direction, self confidence, positivity, patience and strength assisting  Capricorn with their task lists.  Pine is also known to have stimulating action on circulation which may help with aches and pains Capricorns often feel – try a mixture of Pine and Vetiver diluted with an unscented massage oil.

Fun fact: Elvis Presley was a Capricorn
