Capricorn is the tenth Sign of the Zodiac. After Scorpio and
Sagittarius' discovery of other people through emotion and
intellect, Capricorn focuses on ascending through life through
hard work. People born under this Sign are both ambitious and
disciplined; determined and dedicated to achieving their goals.
They are also practical and realistic, cautious not to get in
over their heads. As the tenth Sign, Capricorn also rules the
tenth House: the House of Social Status.

The Sign In Depth
The Astrological Symbol of Capricorn is the Sea Goat. They start
from the Sea and ascend to the highest mountain tops, working
their way upward with every step. While the path is not always
smooth, their determination to succeed ensures they will push
on. They can also be rigid and unforgiving when others stand in
their way. They are business leaders, often starting businesses
or coming up with new ideas. In this way, Capricorn exemplifies
the Cardinal Quality assigned to it. They are conservative,
rarely risking too much, but their tendency toward conformity
make stifle them at times. Their organizational ability combines
with their diligence to help them achieve, but they can be
narrow-minded and over-critical of people not as ambitious as
they are. Within the Zodiac, Capricorn is opposite Cancer, the
Sign of Home. Cancer finds status within the family, while
Capricorn is about social status. Their business achievement and
reputation as solid citizens helps them reach a high position in
society, but they may also be moralistic toward others.
Capricorn is ruled by the Planet Saturn. In ancient Roman
mythology, Saturn (and his Greek equivalent, Cronus) was the
father of many of the Gods, including Zeus. Saturn is about
discipline, hard work, and responsibility. It rules both
Capricorn and Aquarius; Capricorn is the feminine, or night
aspect and Aquarius is the masculine, or day. Both Signs are
about achieving goals through hard work, but Aquarius works hard
to achieve their visions, while Capricorn uses hard work to gain
authority and social status. Appearances are important. As a
result, Capricorn is loyal and charitable, self-controlled and
self-reliant, but this may also lead to inhibition or fatalism.
They are dependable and serious, never giving up on their goals.
Other people may see their ambition as domineering or a
reflection of egotism, but they are patient and purposeful when
working toward what they want.
The Element associated with Capricorn is Earth. Earth Signs are
practical: they tend to respond to the world through
practicality, rather than physical action, intellect, or
emotion. They are the businessmen of the Zodiac, and when Earth
is combined with the action-oriented Element of Fire, they
become the Capricorns who start businesses and lead companies.
Capricorns are economical and scrupulous, but they can also be
materialistic and greedy. They tend to be conventional, rather
than rebellious or flashy.
Capricorns are among the responsible and traditional Signs. They
are generally reserved, careful, and stable. Sometimes they may
be overly critical, even bossy, but this is due to their strong
desire to achieve their goals and not to a desire to be rude. In
fact, Capricorns are generally polite because they understand
that making enemies will not help them achieve in life.
In their leisure time, Capricorns enjoy competition with other
people. They tend to enjoy team sports, but it can be difficult
for them when they lose through no fault of their own.
One-on-one competition also appeals to them, and especially
enjoy golf and martial arts. In love relationships, Capricorn is
devoted, not daring!
Capricorn rules the knees, teeth, and bones. People born under
Capricorn may be more susceptible to dental problems and broken
bones than people of other Signs. Capricorn's colors are the
Earthy colors of brown and khaki.
The great strength of the Capricorn-born is in their ability to
set goals and keep working until they achieve them. Their
ambition is inexhaustible, and they are not easily deterred when
their goals are in sight. Their hard work makes them one of the
most successful characters of the Zodiac.
