Capricorn Personality: Astrology Insights On This Sign

Capricorn: A goal-oriented personality from December 22 to January 19 ♑

Capricorn is one of the Earth signs, meaning security is a concern for these natives. Like Taurus and Virgo, these guys appreciate life-ordering values like family and tradition. Their perfect self-control can help them to become great leaders or executives, as long as they evolve within a well-defined structure.

Their nature is calm, collected, and thoughtful. Saturn, their planet, brings them prudence, moderation, and wisdom. With implacable logic, their reasoning guides them more than their intuition. These natives are always in perfect control of their emotions and hate the thought of looking weak. Under the influence of Saturn, these folks are very reasonable, they save money for their future and work hard to achieve their goals 💪.

They are determined, tenacious and hardworking folks who will only stop once they have reached their goals. This explains why they are often perceived as workaholics. Their seriousness and rigor ensure that they succeed in everything they undertake. They dislike change and prefers to stay on familiar ground. 

Like their symbol, the goat, Capricorns can be stubborn, but thanks to this tenacity, they are able to reach the highest summits. Their seriousness and independence ensure that they succeed in everything they do. However, they may struggle to accept everyone's differences and may feel the need to control their environment, or to impose their own values. They sometimes think that they are the only ones who are capable of getting results.

Honesty

These natives strive to find great stability on all levels, be it emotional, family, professional or economic. They like to be helpful and remain honest throughout life. They stick to their promises and never betray anyone.

Capricorn woman personality ♀️ - Bold and determined

The Capricorn woman is ambitious, stable, patient, cautious and persevering. You have a reputation for being reliable, organized and structured. You often see further than the end of your nose. Not always cordial or tolerant enough, you're nevertheless true to your word and often shine in your sense of responsibility. You're dependable. You need to be in control of as many things as possible in your life: you combine discipline, anticipation and willpower to avoid minor slip-ups (and the possibility of something getting out of hand). Staying the course (no matter what), banishing sloppiness and following through on ideas: that's your strength!

Capricorn male personality ♂️ - Focused and detached

The Capricorn man gives a rather distant and cold image of himself. Because of his shyness, he hides behind great discipline, clear ideas and good organization so as not to need to reveal himself. It's only when he's intimate that he lets his sensitivity emerge, but he needs to find someone capable of understanding and accepting him as he is. He makes it a point of honor to be faithful in all his relationships, whether friendly or romantic. He's always keen to forge solid, sincere bonds.

It's quite simple, no matter what happens and no matter how long it takes, you will see your project through, whether it's personal or professional. It may well take you years but no matter, patient and determined, you take the time to reach your goal. You are also very ambitious when you set goals, you set the bar high, now, this would discourage many, but certainly not you. 

We also like your discipline and your wisdom, you respect the rules and don't understand why everyone else doesn't do the same. You are a model employee who can always be counted on. You are also extremely loyal, when you commit, you commit for life and never change your mind. Plus, you never betray a promise, and your foresight is also a great quality.

So, stop wallowing in your misfortunes and instead, change your outlook on life, adopt positive thinking and everything will be better. These natives often appear cold at first glance and make those around them feel uncomfortable because they seem so insensitive. 

You also need to loosen your purse strings because your stinginess is annoying! You are naturally very thrifty, you love to put money aside and see your savings swell. That's all well and good, but you need to remember to treat yourself and your loved ones from time to time, after all, their satisfied smiles are worth a few bucks. You should also try to become more outgoing because of your introverted side, which makes you difficult to access. Indeed, you are too focused on your thoughts and your goals to let other people into your world.
