Each sign has internal, external and structural rulerships. Externally, Capricorn rules the joints (especially the knees), hair, teeth and skin; internally, the mucous membranes, the peripheral nerves and portions of the stomach. Structurally, it rules the skeleton, bones and patella.
The Sun is weak in this sign, but Capricorn does tend towards longevity unless afflicted by the Moon or Saturn. Many diseases result from business anxieties. The accidents from this sign are broken bones, sprains, dislocations and hurts from the knees and below. Sensitive skin, allergies, and broken bones are problems, while worrying too much can also result in physical disorders. Capricorn suffers from insecurity and anxiety in youth, but blossoms under Saturn in the later years.
Capricorn people do not readily yield to disease, but once sick they hold onto the symptoms and can become hypochondriacs. Worry and anguish can also result in health problems like heart attacks if they are not careful to relieve their stress with proper exercise. The pathological tendencies are crystallization, dryness and constriction. Routine massage and foot reflexology can be of considerable benefit.
Aquarius, the Water-Bearer, is the third sign of the Air triplicity and the eleventh sign of the tropical zodiac. This intellectual and unorthodox sign is ruled by Saturn (structure; karma) and Uranus (sudden changes; unexpected upheavals). The key phrase for Aquarius is “I know”.
Saturn, considered the great malefic, harbinger of stasis and disease and also the planet of structure and reality, is the traditional ruler of Aquarius. This is the sign of deep intellect and the struggle for freedom from restriction. Aquarius is often emotionally detached.
The new-age ruler of Aquarius is Uranus, planet of eccentrics and the unorthodox. Aquarians express Uranian qualities by being unpredictable, determined and stubborn. Aquarians consequently favour the unique, as well as the traditional. They often adopt lifestyles and ideas that run counter to current trends.
Aquarians are somewhat prone to immersing themselves in unorthodox fields of study and can make significant discoveries off the beaten track. Astrology could become a passionate concern, as may other investigations of the limits of consciousness and human abilities. A lover of science and originality, Aquarius treasures the unique while immersing itself in the traditional.
Aquarian people readily adopt life styles and ideas that run counter to the mainstream and they try to visualize any situation objectively, as a kind of mental exercise. In relationships, their intellectual approach makes them seem interested, but not particularly passionate or possessive. Of course they do not really lack passion, for when they focus their feelings, their passion is as intense as it is inspirational.
The appearance of calmness is deceptive, as they are often nervous and apprehensive. Women of this sign often exaggerate their problems to the point of getting ill.
