The Capricorn Aromatherapist and Couch Clients

Capricorn
Element: Earth Quality: Cardinal Planet: Saturn
Approx period: 22nd December to 20th January

Star Qualities:
Patient, (over) cautious and shuns the limelight. Conservative, staid, self-disciplined, practical and industrious. Has business acumen and quietly ambitious. Can withstand set-backs in life as probably is accustomed to them. Can be old-fashioned and conventional. Capricorns will appreciate the traditional background of the therapy and will tell their business colleagues.

Rulerships:
Capricorn rules the structure of things, the skeleton, the skin and the knees. By reflex to Cancer, the digestive system.

Physical attributes:Known for their longevity, diseases of age are common such as arthritis, rheumatism, poor circulation, liver spots, dry skin, intestinal blockages, kidney and gall stones.
With a somewhat pessimistic outlook on life, they can also suffer from bouts of depression and look old before their time.

Herbs/Oils: Anti-depressants, tonics, digestives. De-toxifyers and skin conditioners.

Treatments:
Beware of injured joints and skin eruptions that make massage impractical otherwise use gentle aromatherapy massage paying attention to the abdomen and legs. Suggest baths and scrubs for skin treatments. Crystal therapy may be a worthy addition to the repertoire.

Other: Capricorns will persevere in most regimes if required with careful attention to diet to relieve digestive problems.
Tai Chi and yoga may help suppleness but Alexander technique would suit their more conservative self-image if there is a postural problem. Swimming could be good if they can swim as would the occasional mountain climbing expedition!
They may need referral to an osteopath or chiropractic.

Therapist:As a therapist, if you are not already an osteopath, consider further study in this direction or work alongside such practitioners. The Alexander technique may appeal too as indeed, working with the elderly and using crystals.
With firm and steady actions, massage would well be appreciated by your clients. Make sure that you do not take on their problems too - psychic protection is a must as you've enough on your shoulders already. Set aside some time to enjoy the lighter side of life.
