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.

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.

What qualities does a Capricorn personality have? - These folks have HUGE hearts

Despite their introverted behavior, Capricorns have many strong points that make them exceptional and very appreciated. Your first quality is undoubtedly your unfailing determination. 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.

What are Capricorn's biggest flaws?

Nobody is perfect, not even you dear Earth sign! Here are a few things you can do to erase your slight imperfections. First, work on your pessimism. That's right, you have an awful habit of seeing the glass half empty and imagining the worst all the time. What a pity, because by imagining the worst, those bad circumstances become your reality and end up happening. 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.

What does it mean to have Capricorn as your rising sign?

To have Capricorn rising in your natal chart means you have a particular approach to life and events, yet you know how to protect yourself when need be.

Capricorn compatibility: Taurus is their best match

This pair is the best match because they are equally cautious and pensive when faced with decisions. This duo is on the same wavelength because they are both Earth signs and therefore really understands each other's quirks. Their levels of sexuality are also quite similar, although Taurus will coax some serious passion out of these natives. This duo has a great shot at setting up and leading a quiet, yet sometimes monotonous life, but it suits them. As two possessive souls, they reassure each other and will always remain faithful and sincere.

Their best matches in love are: 

Flirting

These natives like stability, they need to feel confident to fully invest themselves in a relationship. Their alter ego is a determined, ambitious and a little cold at first sight, but that being said, they dream of meeting stable and focused. That's right, they hate exuberant or wobbly people!

Who don't they match well with?

This zodiac sign is totally zodiac sign incompatible with Aries and should avoid spending too much time with these natives because they will exhaust them. They are too different to get along. Aries is by nature very active, impulsive and often tactless. These natives will never be on the same level and will struggle to see eye to eye.

Incompatibility

They should also be wary of Leo, who may betray their trust by abusing their power!
