Zodiac Sign Capricorn

Written by Kurt Franz

Capricorns (Symbol: ♑) are ambitious, conscientious and well-balanced people. They do not jostle forwards, but rather seem to stand quietly to themselves. That's why they can get to power anyway and even as quickly as other Zodiac signs. They are known to do so through their tireless diligence and their incredible tenacity.

They cannot resign from their goal of having something, because that is their principle of life. Setbacks see Capricorns as ordinary people, who must be overcome. They are like climbers who climb into the mountain until they find the right passage up.

They are realists who stand with their feet on the ground. Their goal is the material well-being in this world. Life is the work and the area of their business. Their capacity to adapt, their sociability, and their good behavior make them pleasant partners.

However, they are not generally considered friendly persons. It can take a long time to get warm with them. They often have some invisible armor around them, creating a distance to their fellow human beings. They are not arrogant, but somewhat unapproachable. But when it comes to their goal, namely to achieve material values, they take the direct and consistent route.

This fact often makes them seem ruthless and calculating, only looking for their advantages. Their thriftiness is proverbial, and sometimes it can get quite bad in old age and degenerate into pronounced avarice. But then their heirs will have the benefit of it. Everything lavish and flighty is an abomination to them. They are dutiful workers who are hard at work on their positions in business, culture, and politics. An existing building will not break down until the new one is ready for occupancy. And that can sometimes be their weakness because they could miss the connection, the more risk-taking competitors then have already hit.
