Horned Signs - The land of the stubborn

Aries(the Ram), Taurus(the Bull), and Capricorn(the Goat) have a little discussed commonality and are sometimes referred to as "The Horns" since all three animals have horns. I have heard it said before that only Horns can handle Horns as if these three should only date and mate with each other. That's a bit farther than I am willing to take it, however there is definitely a sense of sameness about these apparently unrelated signs.

The main component of this commonality is the ability to butt things down with their horns. This requires a dogged determination that leans toward blatant stubbornness. Faced with a challenge, Aries will try to go thru it, Taurus will want to trample it and Capricorn will attempt to go over it. These three love to have their way and will got to great lengths and even subject themselves to suffering to get it.

Whether this can be considered a good thing or a bad thing depends almost entirely on the maturity of the person in question. The stubbornness we are discussing here is the foundation for plunging into situations they aren't prepared to handle as well as having the willpower to continue to wear away at a challenge until it is defeated. In this context the Characteristic of Taurus, can be seen as strong, stubborn and slow but inevitable. The Aries personalities characteristics of aggression, domination and selfishness define this concept. The Capricorn traits would be disciplined, determined, stubborn and authoritative. While Taurus is a fixed sign and resistant to change, Aries and Capricorn are both Cardinal signs and considered initiators. Whatever their separate nuances, these three Horned Signs will get the job done - One way or Another.
