only add to his dignified, Dickens-like appearance, and he still doesn't quite fit the picture of a mod swinger. 

Speaking of jewelry, many Capricorns and Taureans share with Leo a love of precious gems and metal.  The flamboyant-type Leos like to wear them, the flashier the better.  The Bulls like to dig them out of the ground, creatively stirred by the excitement of discovery, as they burrow deep into the bowels of the earth for turquoise, gold, silver or diamonds.  Capricorn likes to mold them into practical art objects, and the Goat often satisfies those secret artistic yearnings while burnishing the brass and leaning over the Bunsen burner.  However, the final objective of both the Taurus Bull and the Capricorn Goat is to find the vain Lions or Lionesses to buy their wares, so they can make Money, which is spelled S-E-C-U-R-I-T-Y.  By he way, Steve Mackin, the Colorado Cappy jeweler 
mentioned, doesn't always buy his metals from a Taurean miner.  He finds many of the materials he turns into jewels fir for a pharaoh - in junkyards.  What more appropriate place for a billy goat to roam and nose around in?  The great talent of the Saturn-ruled lies in finding hidden treasures, buried among the discarded trash, twisted tin and broken glass of Life.  Both literally and symbolically. 

Capricorns become adults somewhere around the age of two or three.  Taureans decide on the scope of their future financial empires at around the same age.  So it doesn't matter how old or how young these two are when they tem up.  Their goals will be identical.  Both the Bull and the Goat are wise to the ways of the outer world.  It's their own inner worlds that give them trouble.  Each is brimming over with a sentiment he or she won't show - and each is deeply in need of affection and appreciation for which he (or she) won't ask.  So there they stand like two mountains, side by side, starving for human comfort and closeness, each stubbornly resisting the other's timid overtures of friendship or demonstrations of open affection. 

Children are tiny persons who see, and demonstrate with simplicity, the magic their elders have forgotten as they've passed through Life's sobering experiences.  Since Taurus and Capricorn have spent so little time as children (having grown mature at the age of two or three) they may have missed some magic tricks along the way.  How can they make up for those lost years of childhood?  East.  Taurus can say to Cappy, "Let's go skinny-dipping in the creek, and the last one in is a rotten egg!"  Then Cappy can say to Taurus, "Let's go down to the junkyard and shoot off some fireworks!"  While they're there, they can climb an apple tree, play frisbee with a frog, smell the sweet peas and zinnias, swing in an old tire, and then - ONE-TWO-THREE-GREEN-LIGHT!  They're both home free.   

two shall be born… the whole wide world apart
and speak in different tongues… and have no thought
each, of the other's being… and no heed

and these same two
o'er unknown seas, to unknown lands, shall cross
escaping wreck, defying death
and all unconsciously
shape each act, and bend each wandering step
to this one end…
that one day, out of darkness
they must meet
and read Life's meaning in each other's eyes

and these same two
along some narrow way of Life shall walk
so nearly side by side
that should one turn, ever so little space
to left… or right
their needs must stand acknowledged, face to face

and yet…
