Capricorn Horoscope for week of October 8, 2009
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
John, a colleague of mine, is a skillful psychotherapist. His father is in a similar occupation, psychoanalysis. If you ask John whether his dad gave him a good understanding of the human psyche while he was growing up, John quotes the old maxim: "The shoemaker's son has no shoes." Is there any comparable theme in your own life, Capricorn? Some talent or knowledge or knack that should have been but was not a part of your inheritance; a natural gift you were somehow cheated out of in your early environment? If so, the coming weeks will be an excellent time to start recovering from your loss and getting the good stuff you have coming to you.
I know the answer to this. Both my parents were able to draw and paint. They were creative people. Maybe that's part of why being parents didn't sit well with them.
Art, at least in my case, was not genetic.
Maybe all you arty people out there whom I love so deeply are really the parents I never had.
Heh, yeah, think about that & try to sleep tonight... Good night, moms and dads...
