Through the Part of Impartial Consciousness in Capricorn, a person sees and understands the energy of aspiration.

Both signs are distinguished by strong energy in the direction of activity. Capricorn energy is motivated by a vision of the desirability of the outcome. Thus, in the Part of Impartial Consciousness, the end usually gives the impression of justifying the means. Cancer energy, on the other hand, is based on action for action’s sake.

The youth and vitality of Cancer is balanced by Capricorn in his search for wisdom and maturity. Thus, a person does not have to delve into the Part of Impartial Consciousness if he is to achieve complete joy from all the seeds he sows through the Part of Fortune in Cancer.
