	Aries individuals do not like to deviate but like to take the most direct route to reach their goals, and their love of adventure, willingness to take risks and courage are helpful to this end. Their natural optimism and self-confidence usually help them to overcome any difficulties they face, and their abandon, which sometimes leads them into difficult situations, usually gets them out again. And finally, the spontaneity of Aries individuals makes it easier for them to meet the new challenges that can arise at any moment.

	The constellation shows a creature with the head and front legs of a goat and the tail of a fish. The Babylonians were already aware of this symbolism which unites [[earth]] and [[water]], the material and the emotional. [[Jung, C. G.\|C.G. Jung]] writes "''The Sun climbs like a goat up the highest mountain and is like a fish in the depths of the ocean''". Sometimes the goat is associated with the unicorn, an ancient symbol for the higher worlds to which the Capricorn aspires to climb.

	Both Capricorn and its opposite sign of [[Cancer]] are orientated towards the past: In Cancer's case this is the family history, whereas Capricorn is interested in the existing social structures. Capricorn, like the other earth signs [[Taurus]] and [[Virgo]], is pragmatic: Taurus is pragmatic in the service of comfort, Virgo has a pragmatic attitude towards everyday life and Capricorn uses pragmatism in order to advance its social standing. Capricorn can learn important lessons from the two signs that stand in archetypal square to it: From [[Aries]] the art of being spontaneous and from [[Libra]] the appreciation of beauty.

	Optimism and enthusiasm are qualities that Aries shares with the other fire signs of [[Leo]] and [[Sagittarius]]. However, Aries symbolises the initial spark, Leo the long-lasting warmth of the glowing embers and Sagittarius the flickering flames of the fire. The theme of relationships is common to both Aries and its opposite sign of Libra - however, the former is concerned with self-assertion, whereas for the latter the relationship itself is the important thing. From the two signs that stand in square to it, Aries can learn the value of emotional depth ([[Cancer]]) and patience and perseverance ([[Capricorn]]).
