Capricorn



Capricorns are known for their ambition. Where the Aries is a trailblazer that tends to fizzle out, the Capricorn endures. They will not progress as fast as the other signs, but will stay the course until the job is finished and often far exceed the expectations of the task. This can also be their folly, as Capricorns are known to get stuck in an ideal and prod on despite the costs. When this happens the only way to make them change course is with a rational argument. Emotion and pathos arguments are character flaws to Capricorns, but logic can move mountains.

Capricorns are headstrong and traditional in relationships, preferring stability over novelty. This makes them very loyal spouses, but perhaps a bit predictable at times. Anyone in a relationship with a Capricorn should be vigilant not to be lulled into a false sense of stagnation. Behind the stoic façade, a Capricorn’s mind never stops. Though valuing tradition they are always on the lookout for how to “improve” things. This is often beneficial, or at least harmless, but sometimes these improvements do not sit well with those around them. This, combined with their propensity for knowledge and strong personalities, can make life with a Capricorn unexpectedly exciting.

For the Capricorn life is a constant classroom, the world a source of knowledge. Unlike the Aquarius, this knowledge often results in power driven ambition even if the Capricorn does not consciously realize it.
