Capricorn Midheaven: Your Success and Fulfillment
If you have your Midheaven in Capricorn, you need a career that allows you to be the boss and leave your mark on the world.
Creating Success
Capricorn Midheaven’s achieve successful outcomes when they rise above emotional situations, take charge, and become the CEO. It is key for them to both set a goal and ensure that it is accomplished. For example, if the Capricorn Midheaven individual’s objective is to bring a domestic matter into greater order, their willingness to direct the situation, without being diverted by sub-dramas, is the approach that will lead to success. Integrity, honoring their commitments, and keeping their word are crucial! Their willingness to take responsibility opens the way for self-respect and earns the respect of others.
For the Capricorn Midheaven, this can be scary for them at first, since they are so deeply attuned to the emotions around them that they equate their safety – and their success – with the uninterrupted emotional interdependency of their “family.” But seeing others as responsible for their success is profoundly disempowering for them.
When the Capricorn Midheaven individual rises above the conviction of dependency, they are free to achieve their goals with or without the support of others, to responsibly manage people and situations in order to reach a common goal. The natural byproduct of their willingness to take charge is the secure and joyous feeling of being in charge of their own life.
Happiness enters into every area of their life when Capricorn Midheaven’s attitude of personal vulnerability, neediness, and dependence on others is replaced with an attitude of personal authority, responsibility, and the willingness to honor their commitments.
Their Achilles Heel
Capricorn Midheaven individuals cling to their “safe” role as dependent, emotionally sensitive, and vulnerable. They avoid establishing their own direction in life, not wanting to risk losing the dependability and warmth of close family attachments. This stance is a survival tool they developed in childhood that no longer serves them in adult life.
It invites the unhappiness of not feeling truly capable or in control of their own destiny, since they are constantly at the mercy of the whims and moods of those close to them.
When Capricorn Midheaven individuals maintain a position of extreme sensitivity and defenselessness, they open themselves to the disappointment of other people “letting them down” as they attempt to gain emotional breathing space. Their need to possess those close to them in order to feel secure may cause others to pull away from the limiting, stifling closeness they demand. Thus their yearning for the security of this total – and unwittingly smothering – attachment may bring only frustration as their own need to protect others’ individuality repels them from drawing close.
Fulfillment
Happiness enters into every area of Capricorn Midheaven’s life where the willingness to take responsibility for the direction of their life and create joy within it replaces this attitude of personal vulnerability, dependence on others, and emotional neediness. An attitude of personal authority is key to their success—both personal and professional.
For the Capricorn Midheaven, personal joy is theirs for the taking when they cease to perceive their security as based on whether or not those close to them care for them. That is, when they begin to accept their responsibility as the authority within their own life, and the author of it. The Capricorn Midheaven will gain the respect and caring of those close to them, not by conscious design but as a natural byproduct of their willingness to serve as an example of responsibility in the world.
Capricorn Midheaven’s willingness to attain self-sufficiency will empower them to release the tight emotional holds they have imposed in their intimate relationships. This allows people the room to be truly themselves, and to lose their fear of being emotionally available to them. Others can allow themselves to draw close without risking the destruction of their individual purposes. Capricorn Midheaven individuals experience happiness in any area of their life where instead of attempting to monopolize others’ emotions, they focus their energies on attaining their own goals and on being the kind of person that others can look up to.
Their 'Home Base'
Capricorn Midheaven’s early environment was in many ways very caring and protective; they learned early on that the family unit was key to their personal safety and survival. Carried into adult life, however, this can lead to a fear of venturing outside the family to position themselves in the larger world.
For the Capricorn Midheaven, their survival tools included a hyper-awareness of other people’s emotional states, since their home environment, though protective, was moody and unstable in the sense of lacking unconditional love. Family members had to do things in a certain way to be well-thought-of and to avoid emotional upsets within the family group. Consequently, in the adult life of the Capricorn Midheaven individual, they may dread the idea of someone close to them becoming upset, and thus allow the upsets of others to distract them from their own path.
Good Career Choices
Capricorn Midheaven’s best bet for professional happiness is to hold a position where they are the boss. When they are the CEO, everyone wins. They know how to organize others to meet a common goal because they have a natural business sense. They excel in positions of management, where they are organizing others to produce results.
For the Capricorn Midheaven, their best professional choices will activate their ability to take charge and be responsible for creating successful outcomes. They know how to operate in a situation in which sensible business practices prevail. They have a natural sense of the “pecking order” and are not hesitant to step to the front of the line and assume the position that earns them respect and status.
Self-contentment is assured to the Capricorn Midheaven through allowing the world to see them as worthy of respect: responsible, organized, competent, in control of their own life, and able to manage a variety of situations to the best possible, mutually beneficial outcomes.
