Understanding Lilith in Capricorn
Symbolizes in a general sense: arrogance, snobbery, persistence, sterility, widowhood, sadism, isolation, ambition, coldness, withdrawal, silence, denial.
A native with this Lilith placement wants to dominate. One of the strongest characteristics is pronounced ambition, whether material or moral. And it is precisely in these areas—having control over everyone and succeeding in their ambitions—that this person encounters obstacles in achieving what they want. The native must learn flexibility, to let go of rigid behavior, and to be content with ease. They must learn to accept circumstances as life presents them, especially when these circumstances are in conflict with their desires and ambitions.
He has a hard time accepting periods of solitude, and during those times he tends to become very negative. He has a highly developed self-protection mechanism. Throughout his life, he usually learns to build a wall between himself and his surroundings. One of the lessons he must learn is patience, and another is endurance. Life will place him in situations where his patience and endurance are pushed to the very edge, precisely so that these lessons can be learned.
He often puts obligations and routines above everything else and pushes aside pleasures. His behavior in everyday life can be very irritating and can sometimes function as a kind of punishment toward others, and on an unconscious level, toward himself as well. This creates a risk of frequent nervous breakdowns.
The native often puts duties and habits above everything else and dismisses pleasures. Their behavior in everyday life can be very irritating and sometimes come across as a form of punishment toward others, and on an unconscious level toward themselves as well. From this arises the danger of frequent nervous breakdowns. The native tends to withdraw into themselves due to obstacles, unfulfilled desires, and ambitions. As a result, they end up rejecting their desires and goals, and stop believing in any kind of success. Some with this placement, faced with collapse and the inability to solve their problems, even choose suicide. Defeat is extremely difficult for them to accept.
The periods of asceticism imposed by life are experienced by him as if they were a kind of death, and he is guided by the feeling that all hope is lost. But this leads to another problem: deep down, he holds a superior opinion of himself, yet he cannot express it outwardly because the environment in which he lives will not allow it. This Lilith strives for wholeness—both emotional and material—but if she cannot attain both, she settles for the material alone.
Life constantly pushes him to endure, and as a result, he develops a very cold attitude toward others. This behavior simply protects him when life’s crises and problems arise. Another lesson he must master is learning to separate feelings (emotionality) from ambition (materiality). He needs to learn how to establish control (or a sense of dominance) in a far more humane and gentle way.
In past lives, he most likely held a very high position and ruled with great cruelty over others. He probably relied on strictness and punishment—at times even sadistic forms of discipline. Placing others in a miserable position and accumulating material wealth were at the forefront of his actions.
In the present life, he is being taught self-control. The soul has returned to the body of an ordinary man or woman in order to learn the lesson of humanity and simplicity. If this lesson is mastered in this lifetime, then in the next one he may become a ruler again—but with the right attitude.
