Capricorn Has Too Much Work

We've all had a Capricorn sun, moon or ascendant person who we've heard complain day after day about how much work they have... 

No one does any work except them!  They have had to work so hard all of their lives!

There are many more of these typical Capricorn complaints about work.  Do they really work harder than the rest of us, or do they just complain about it more?  We really can't be sure, but we do know that they talk about it too much!  The worst offender is probably the Capricorn moon.  The suns and risings do it too, but the moons are the worst.  The moon represents your inner feelings and drives.  As a Capricorn moon, your feelings are ruled by the task master of the zodiac, Saturn.  So you are at least going to feel like you work harder than anyone else.  The pressure is real.  The pressure to succeed, to achieve and to accomplish your daily tasks in going to weigh on you minute by minute.  A good way to vent the pressure is to talk about it.

All Capricorns are acutely aware of what work needs to be done.  Beware if you are responsible for any of that work.  They will not let you forget it.  If you don't do it, they will cover your ass and make sure it gets done, but they will remind about how you didn't do your part for the next month, at least!  They will also resent you.  They really can't stand people who don't pull their weight because they just can't help themselves from always pulling theirs.

This intense sense of responsibility for work often leads to depression in Capricorns, again, especially the Capricorn moons.  They have to be responsible about work, but they honestly don't want to be.  They would love to run free and not care about any of it.  But, because they can't bring themselves to do this, they resent those who can. The resentment can drive them away from people and leave them alone and depressed just thinking about all of the work they have to do and how no one else cares.  It's a sad scenario.

Luckily, many Capricorns manage to have a sense of humor about it.  Because Capricorns eventually realize that real complaining just drives people away, they learn to put a humorously, dry and sarcastic spin on their complaints as they mow through their day.  This is great self-therapy for them and helps to keep them sane.  So the next time you're around a Capricorn and hear them complain about working too much, even if it's funny, remember that they really do mean it.  Offer to give them a hand, and don't worry.  They're so responsible that nine times out of ten, they won't even take your help.  But they will definitely appreciate the offer.
