In the month of Capricorn - Overcome pride and showing off

Those born in Capricorn often try to show off. Showing off means that you are identified with your physical, emotional, and mental outer shells; you are becoming the charcoal instead of the fire. A person shows off because he wants to prove to himself that he exists. He does this because he feels that he is empty inside, that he has no inner resources.

It is very important to understand that when you show off, you externalize yourself; you become matter, emotion, and thought. But you do not come closer to your True Self, which is beyond your personality.

People usually show off for only one reason -- because they feel a void inside them which makes them think they need someone else to prove they exist. They put their physical, emotional, and mental bodies on display so that people will say, "You are here. You are beautiful. You are funny."
