Extended Health Tips for Capricorns

Bones, skin, and joints are extremely sensitive in a Capricorn's body.  Therefore, calcium consumption, hydration, and keeping active are rather important lifestyle choices for Capricorns.  We are blessed with rather nice bone structures, but they need to be maintained through regular calcium consumption (something I majorly fail at).  Staying hydrated is not only the best way to get over illness, but it is also one of the best ways to avoid becoming ill in the first place.  Our skin also has a tendency to dry out more easily than most other zodiac signs, so it is important to keep ourselves hydrated to help avoid this.  Also, it is a good idea to act preemptively in dry environments by wearing sunscreen, chapstick, and lotion.  As rulers of the knees, our joints tend to be achy; hydration and regular physical activity minimizes joint ache, so both are recommended.

Capricorns have a tendency to do things in excess; exercise, occupations, diet, and mood.  We are almost always obsessing over something from hobbies to people to our careers (or whatever the equivalent would be in each Capricorn's phase of life).  Usually Capricorns will persevere until a task is complete as best as it can be.  For this reason, Capricorns have a tendency to keep whatever hours they like in order to complete these tasks and then often shut down in seclusion for long periods of time afterwards.  This can be very inconvenient to those around us, but it is difficult for a Capricorn to put down their work when it is half-finished.  We are the type who would sit down at a puzzle and persist on finishing it long past dark circles under our eyes and then when it is complete avoid any mental stimulation for quite some time.  Therefore, we must make sure we do not bite off more than we can chew at any given time because that will lead to frazzled behavior.  And, we must make sure that after we complete a task, we give ourselves the necessary amounts of time to recover from it before we begin a new one.

This Capricorn excess can also translate to exercise.  Because joints are so sensitive to us, we should avoid intensive sports, especially because we have a tendency to get too into intensive sports; this is either because we are trying to perfect our skills or because we begin to have a lot of fun and do not wish to stop or because we are trying to prove that we can be the best at it.  I suggest leisurely walking and yoga as preferred exercises.  Swimming may also be a good exercise for Capricorns as long as it isn't done in excess; salt water will agitate the skin and chlorine will agitate the lungs (and fresh water is just gross to swim in).

Again, excess may also translate to diet.  Typically, Capricorns are not particularly gluttonous because of the discipline Saturn bestows on us, but we can become excessive drinkers and health-food crazy.  Capricorns can also become excessively melancholy, especially if they go too long without something to do, something to work for.  Capricorns need their ambition to drive them, or they can end up in depressed stupors; although, usually we can get ourselves out of this by forcing ourselves to get up and do other stuff (if you are not a Capricorn and are reading this for advice on Capricorns, do not try to force us to do stuff, we have to develop our ambitions on our own - but suggestions on potential ambitions may be helpful to give).

Part of the reason why Capricorns are so successful is because of our excessively obsessive behaviors; it is an important part of us.  However, we must remember to not bite off more than we can chew and take the time we need to regain our strength after each goal/task we complete.
