We may fear becoming bag ladies, or simply alone; that’s a Cancerian fear, born of estrangement from the root system that nourishes us. Or we may fear that we’ll die without having achieved any of our goals, unknown; these Capricornian fears tell us we’ve lost sight of what makes us truly important….
