Rendering service in the third degree means that the soul knows what it must do and seeks for the means whereby it may lavish itself upon the world.
These people are invariably of a generous and helpful nature. Often they discover that life places them in circumstances through which their ability to serve becomes an essential part of their living. Quite frequently they become involved with responsibilities for family or friends, by means of which they are committed to the care of an ailing relative or dependent child, neither of which may be capable of coping with the normal demands of daily living. The Capricornian servers willingly and lovingly bear such burdens and may even undertake further responsibilities through which they can lavish their unstinting and generous affection.
These people need wisdom, for in their unstinting generosity they may have a tendency to try to smother the people they love with an over-concern which sometimes resolves into irritating fussiness, or with such an abundance of loving gifts that the recipients feel overburdened. Many of their relationships with other people are destroyed in this manner and the generous Capricornian often feels hurt and frustrated because the recipients are unable to respond satisfactorily.
As the earth needs balance between itself and the elements of water, fire and air to keep it sweet and fertile, so these people need to understand the importance of a correct balance in their human relationships, by the understanding of themselves and their basic life lesson of serving. When lacking such knowledge, they can become like sterile soil, or soil producing a wealth of unhealthy growth. Similarly these people can produce the weeds of unhealthy imagining and fancied insults, which when held in the consciousness for a length of time may have a reaction on the physical heart through the emotional restlessness, with the result that faulty circulation may cause the fluids of the body to be so disorganised that the system can become waterlogged, as in dropsical or chronic catarrhal conditions.
Calcium Phosphate is the basic remedy needed by these people and it is significant to notice that calcium is needed by the bony structure as well as the blood cells. The bony structure supports the whole of the body and for these people it is of especial importance because the parts of their body most liable to injury and weakness is the spine, legs and rib cage. If a shortage of calcium occurs in the system, these parts of the body may easily succumb to fracture or bone weakness.
Unfortunately, this type of person often refuses to take care of their body, and frequently they consider it unnecessary to take any remedies. They know intuitively, if they can continue to pour out their energies in service, so they will be restored from the great source of Cosmic Energy. This intuitive realisation is very true if, after learning to give wisely and without resentment, they can live happily because they are in 'tune' with the cosmic forces, as the earth can be in tune with the same powers when it is producing harmoniously. Often the Capricornians state that they feel the cosmic energies flowing through them in great pulsations of renewing life. When in the positive aspect of their nature, these people can become powerful agents for the healing of world wrongs and for the creation of centres of healing and wisdom, in which their example often inspires others to live in the same state of generous service.
Calcium plays an important part in the system of people under every astrological influence. The body is supposed to contain four pounds of Calcium Phosphate when in a state of perfect health; it contributes to the strength of teeth, tissue, blood cells and bones, though it may need to be combined with other biochemic salts in the later years of a person's life. It ought to be used after the healing of fractures, surgical operations and conditions in which the eating of food has been restricted for a considerable length of time, such as lengthy diets for slimming, conditions of anorexia or living in areas devastated by war or famine.
Calcium Phosphate is reputed to make iron more easily assimilated by the human body. It ought to be taken by all Capricorn subjects, in small amounts, as an adjunct to other medical treatments to help them maintain the radiant good health which is their right. It would be wise for them at all times to make sure that the diet contains plentiful amounts of nature's own calcium-containing foods such as can be found in nuts, dairy produce and humble sea food such as sprats, sardines and herrings.
If calcium is deficient in the system, the whole body may become weakened and inefficient, with possible illnesses such as anaemia, nervous exhaustion and the subtle conditions which arise when brain cells seem to be starved of the essential nutriment. Unfortunately, illness conditions seem to aggravate emotional disharmonies, creating a condition in which people eat food hurriedly or partake of the wrong kinds of food as a panacea for injured emotions or to soothe wounded pride, instead of a deliberate effort to restore harmony by the wise eating of correct nourishment.
