About Capricorn
Capricorn, the tenth Sign of the Zodiac, is all about hard work.
Those born under this Sign are more than happy to put in a full
day at the office, realizing that it will likely take a lot of those
days to get to the top. That's no problem, since Capricorns are
both ambitious and determined: they will get there. Life is one
big project for these folks, and they adapt to this by adopting
a businesslike approach to most everything they do. Capricorns are
practical as well, taking things one step at a time and being as
realistic and pragmatic as possible. The Capricorn-born are extremely
dedicated to their goals, almost to the point of stubbornness. Boy,
those victories sure smell sweet, though, and that thought alone
will keep Capricorns going.
It's the Goat which symbolizes Capricorns, and an apt mascot it
is. Goats love to climb to the top of the mountain, where the air
is clear and fresh. In much the same way, Capricorns want to get
to the top of their chosen field so that they can reap the benefits
of success; namely fame, prestige and money. Getting to the top
isn't always a walk in the park, however, so it's likely that Goats
will ruffle a few feathers along the way. These folks can indeed
be domineering, even egotistical, on their route to the top. They'll
tell you it's part of being a leader with bright new ideas (in keeping
with the Cardinal Quality assigned to this Sign). Capricorns are
industrious, efficient, organized and won't make a lot of waves.
They are scrupulous with details and adopt a rather conventional
posture in business and in life. These folks feel best playing it
safe, since this is a fail-safe way to get to the top -- eventually.
Thankfully, Capricorns are patient, too, and are happy to wait for
their ship to come in. The flip side to this staid behavior is that
Goats can become quite unforgiving of those who aren't as diligent
or ambitious as they are. Capricorns need to remember that they
do need allies along the way, ambitious or otherwise. In any case,
once Capricorns receive the recognition and social status they so
fervently crave, it's likely that all will be forgiven.
Capricorn is ruled by the Planet Saturn. In ancient Roman mythology,
Saturn was the father of many of the gods. Consider him top dog,
if you will, and then you'll see a parallel to Capricorns. Those
born under this Sign also want to be the top dog, and they're smart
enough to know that the title won't simply be handed to them. Caps
are happy to work for it, and luckily they possess enough discipline
and sense of responsibility to get them there. Capricorns tend to
be mature and are amply blessed with common sense, two more qualities
which help their success-driven endeavors. With any kind of luck
(make that considerable work), Caps will find themselves on that
top step, but they should also remember those who have helped them
on their quest. They are traditional (but not quite the button-down
stiffs some would suggest) and somewhat inhibited, prompting others
to wonder if they can ever enjoy success and its rarefied air. Rest
assured, these folks will be smiling inside.
The Element associated with Capricorn is Earth. There's no surprise
there! Caps aren't interested in wild ideas or round-the-world dreams.
They would much rather stay put and get to work. Remember, these
are the businesspeople of the Zodiac, so in their sensible and economical
way, they'll get up every morning and see to it that their job is
well done. While Caps can occasionally get a bit materialistic and
greedy (hey, everyone needs a few perks), they are far too dignified
and practical to get carried away. Plus, they love tradition and
reserve and want to appear polite and friendly.
Capricorns at rest (yes, there is such a thing) enjoy leisurely
sports such as golf and croquet -- so long as they have a chance
to win! Playing with a crew is also nice, since it brings to mind
their beloved workplace. Team colors for a Capricorn are likely
to be earthy brown and khaki, much like the relaxed slacks they
like to wear. Sports-bound Caps also need to watch their teeth and
knees, and they shouldn't be too daring, lest they break some bones.
When it comes to love, Capricorns are ever devoted and never emotive.
The great strengths of the Capricorn-born are their willingness
to work hard and their determination to succeed. Their ambition
is boundless, yet they are cautious, responsible and always play
fair. That's why their successes are all the more sweet.
