Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac and symbolized by the goat. It is ruled by the planet Saturn and is an earth element.

Capricorns are attractive with finely chiseled features and a stately carriage. Most Capricorns have a striking angular beauty which makes them very photogenic. They have a secret desire to be admired by family and friends.

Capricorns have a strong will to be achievers in life and are strongly motivated by factors like money, success, status and power. They are extremely industrious and do not mind burning midnight oil at work provided they are convinced it will take them up the ladder. This could turn them into workaholics. Therefore, it’s vital that they learn to maintain a work-play balance.

Capricorn Compatibility

This is the most compatible with Taurus, Scorpio, Virgo, and Pisces. They are cautious when it come to love. However, as they move deeper into the relationship their cool exterior melts to reveal warmth. Once they fall in love, they stay totally committed. They go that extra mile to make their partner happy. Capricorns are not into casual sex.

Capricorns’ most pronounced negative trait is their pessimistic attitude. They are not very tolerant of those who do not measure up to the exacting standards they set. When it comes to money, Capricorns can be pretty tight-fisted and cut corners wherever they can. They are conservative and can have elephant-sized egoes.

Capricorn rules the bones, joints, knees, and teeth. They are susceptible to problems like neuralgia, stiff joints, arthritis and orthopedic problems.

Capricorn ruling the first house raises the competitive spirit and by no means dictates the presence of a sombre or colourless personality. On the contrary, it implies individuals with overcompensatingly cheerful personalities, who willingly accept responsibilities and hardships which they feel they were born to endure. There is always a choice to be made and the right one is never easy, because it usually involves success which must be earned.

Those born under the Capricorn sign are notably ambitious but not blinded by it. Their sense of discipline demands a more realistic approach to things which keeps them focused on long term goals. Patience usually pays off and therefore, Capricorns generally achieve what they strive for.

Ruler – Saturn

Saturn demands from Capricorns structure and meaning in all their plans. It fosters a responsible and conservative nature that demonstrates patience and prudence.

Personality

The goat that represents the Capricorn sign is no stranger to going it alone. Should Capricorns look up at the climb of a rocky mountain ahead, they will take each step with careful consideration. Solitude is important to this personality as it implies that they can accomplish things on their own terms.

A fear of rejection or ridicule can motivate Capricorns to be cautious about revealing too much of themselves to others. However, once this sign decides that you are trustworthy, a strong friendship can be established.

Relationships

If the Capricorn sign entrusts its heart, it will probably be to someone who will guard it carefully. They play for keeps and are not likely to have casual affairs. They exude confidence and aloofness which attracts the opposite sex, but they are not easily won over. Capricorn people are loyal friends and lovers who can be quite possessive, jealous and are not likely to forgive, if betrayed.

Careers

People born under the Capricorn sign are hardworking, shrewd, and drawn to money making professions. Their structured personalities make them great financiers and managers. It is in their nature to wheel and deal, making them good stock market brokers or real estate agents. A natural sense of authority could gear them towards politics or any career that requires management or organization. They also possess a love for music, and if their passion is strong enough, it could lead them to success in that field.
