How they combine
Clouds hitched to a mountain ridge: the Dragon's aspiration, Capricorn's stairs — aiming the highest and actually climbing them, one flight at a time. The gift is "building legend into institution" — only merit that outlives its maker counts as merit. The risk is nature wrestling duty: one wants to ride the clouds, the other to clock in, and neither clouds nor clock end up pleased.
The Dragon side
Its strengths are lofty ambition, infectious energy, and daring to think what others will not; its weaknesses, self-regard and impatience with detail — when the ideal burns, it can burn through reality. The Dragon’s rival is never another person; it is landing.
The Capricorn side
Its strengths are discipline, responsibility, and turning "the long run" into instinct; its weaknesses are severity and inhuman standards for itself, demanding that even rest prove its eligibility. It is the late bloomer of the twelve — and sometimes simply late.
