You’re extremely loyal to your family and can be quite traditional at heart. Your natural strength and stability causes family to lean on as their rock. In many ways, you love this role. You’re a strong provider and you’re at your best in a crisis. It’s tough for you to show that you're struggling, and only your family sees your sensitive side. Capricorns from unhappy or unstable homes can suffer for years. You may isolate yourself from relatives, even growing bitter and distrustful. Work on forgiving your family’s shortcomings, and lean on your lifelong friends as an extended family.
Issue to Manage: Being too attached to your family
Family loyalty is beautiful, but there’s a time to break away. If you
come from a stable home, your parents may be your best friends. If you come
from a tougher environment, you may resent your parents, blaming your unhappiness
on their mistakes. There’s a time to cut the cord and forge your own
identity. Don’t let your irrational fears stop you from discovering
who you are.
