The ultimate realist, Capricorns know there is no gain without hard work. They have a strong sense of duty and are quite willing to wait patiently to fulfill their ambitions. They will eventually climb to the top of that mountain even if takes them a whole lifetime.

Hardworking, diligent, and determined, Capricorns need to have a purpose, for without a precise goal they are lost. They desire order and structure to make them feel complete and usually write out daily to-do lists. Security is important to them, and influenced by their ruling planet, Saturn, they take a cautious and conservative approach to life. They show a respect for the wisdom of age and experience. This extends to their work. They are conscientious, too. However, they could be cold, stubborn, and calculating.

They are practical and dependable; they take responsibility very seriously. Home and family is at the top of their priorities. Unfortunately, they have tendencies to be pessimistic and are prone to depression.

Beneath the slightly shy and reserved exterior is a wonderful, dry sense of humour and a tenacity that comes from inner discipline. When others need assistance, they know they can always count on a Capricorn.
