Ruled by taskmaster Saturn, our Cappy friends are a disciplined bunch who know that it takes nothing less than hard work and commitment to realise their dreams. Capricorn is highly ambitious and the mountain goat’s climb to the top can be a ruthless one.

These workaholics aren’t backwards in coming forwards when a promotion is up for grabs, there’s no room for sentiment when there’s money to be made.

Yes, Capricorn has a reputation of being quite materialistic. They’re definitely not shy around a pound (or any other currency for that matter), they work hard for what they have and tend to be quite frugal, preferring to save and slowly but surely build on their status. 

Capricorn is cautious, conservative and reserved, as the natural ruler of the 10th house, their reputation and public standing is of the utmost importance. You’ll rarely see a Capricorn losing their composure in public, they’ll always try to put their best foot forward.

Capricorn also appreciates good quality and understands that to buy cheap often means to buy twice. So despite appearing miserly to some, it’s really a question of being sensible when it comes to economics - they’re certainly not cheap.

This sign has an appreciation for tradition, a respect for the old school and can be quite judgemental towards those who flout the rules. They have firm beliefs and are quite rigid in their way of thinking. 

When it comes to relationships, Capricorn takes a practical view, they need to be able to see you in their future otherwise they just won’t waste their time. They need a partner they can respect and equally, they won’t tolerate any disrespect.

Capricorn takes love seriously and wants a committed long term relationship with someone they can build a future with. If you can meet Capricorn’s high standards, you’ll see they do actually have a very warm, loving and sensual side. They don’t fall in love easily but when they do, it’s for keeps.
