zodiac sign Capricorn Characteristics

 

Capricorn: Consistent 

Methodical, practical and determined, there is no deterring a Capricorn once they have a goal in their sights. Not one for small talk and vain flattery, this quest for keeping things real means that your inner circle is small but loyal. 


Capricorns are overachievers, persistent, practical, and sensitive. They're known for their hardworking habits, and they're overachievers who make success look effortless — even though they put a lot of time and care into their careers and relationships. They're powerful enough to run a company and a household at the same time, due to their "can do" attitude. Capricorns are notorious leaders who demand the best — in return, they give others the world. This is why Capricorns make the best CEOs and business owners. They give a lot to their career advancement and take success in strides, and this tends to be the path of everything they do.

Most people attribute Capricorn's hardworking spirit to their planetary ruler, Saturn, who's considered to be the rule-maker and authoritarian of the zodiac — "the daddy," as some may say. These qualities give them the drive to provide for themselves and others while being the top Sea Goat in charge. But they're not all business; Capricorns do have a very tender side, even though their brash and tough exterior hides it well. When they let this part of themselves be seen, they can cultivate lifelong relationships and friendships, as well as business alliances.

How Capricorn Traits Manifest In Each Planet

Reminder: You are more than your sun sign. In your natal chart, you can see if there were any other planets in the sign Capricorn when you were born. Then see how Cap shows up for that specific planet below.

Capricorn Sun

The sun (which represents one's vigor, sense of self, and drive in life) in Capricorn is known to be someone who takes life seriously, is persistent, and has a clear sense of direction. They can also be very intuitive, level-headed, and austere at times.

Capricorn Moon

The moon — which acts as your inner emotional compass — is in its dignity in Cancer (meaning, it's at home there). Therefore, it's to its detriment in Capricorn (because these two signs oppose each other). This means that the moon performs to its fullest capacity in the water sign Cancer, and, on the opposite side of the spectrum, it's limited in the earth sign Capricorn — indeed, the Sea Goat is practical about its emotions and has a tough exterior. The moon in Capricorn is known to be a tad less emotional than other moon signs, often being resilient and hard-headed when it comes to sentimental affairs.

Capricorn Rising

Capricorn rising people are known for their determination and drive in attaining material wealth and success. They're self-starters who will work hard at cultivating their goals and end game — no matter what they have to sacrifice in the process. 

Capricorn Mercury

Those with Mercury (the planet of communication, transportation, and technology) in Capricorn have a sarcastic sense of humor, which can be dry at times. They often state facts over fiction, and never tell a story that is exaggerated. They are known to be extremely direct and concise in their communication.

Capricorn Venus

Venus in the sign Capricorn is known to work hard when it comes to love, relationships, and money. They will always put their best foot forward and want to take matters slowly with caution before diving in headfirst.

Capricorn Mars

Mars (the planet of sex, energy, and anger) is in top form (or "exalted" in astrology lingo) when in Capricorn because this is a placement in which activities are completed and finished. When Mars is in Capricorn, sexual proudness will be heightened, there will be enough energy to see matters through, and there will be a strong conviction not to give up on a fight until it's been won.

Capricorn Jupiter

Being that Jupiter (the planet of luck and fortune) is a planet that focuses on expansion and Capricorn is a sign that limits, this placement means that risks are calculated. Jupiter is in its fall in Capricorn, which means that it moves at a slow pace and worries about veering from the straight and narrow.

Capricorn Saturn

Saturn (the planet of boundaries, restrictions, and separation) is the planetary ruler of Capricorn, which is why you can rely on this planet to make sure that you're able to take care of business. Saturn is about authority, while Capricorn focuses on respecting elders. Therefore, it's no wonder that they go hand-in-hand, focusing on tradition and carrying out tasks that need to be done in accordance with society.

Capricorn Uranus

Innovation and rebellion start within the system when Uranus (the planet of rebellion, revolution, and creative breakthroughs) is in Capricorn. In order to make a change, you must start at a grassroots level and work your way up by changing the foundation.

Capricorn Neptune

Capricorn offers harsh realities for elusive Neptune (planet of spirituality and mysticism), who likes to live in a dream world. When Neptune is in Capricorn, you can see the truth of matters and understand that's all is not as it seems.

Capricorn Pluto

Pluto (the planet of death, rebirth, and transformation) destroys structures that have been in place for centuries, which juxtaposes the energy of the sign Capricorn, which represents the passage of time. When Pluto is in Capricorn — which it's currently residing in from 2008 to 2024 — you can expect to see changes in the world that have been in place for many years fall down in order to be rebuilt properly with the current times.

North Node of Destiny In Capricorn

The North Node — not a celestial body, but one of the points where the moon's orbit intersects the plane of the solar system — sheds light on your current life's purpose.With a Capricorn in this placement, it's important for you to maintain a work-life balance instead of giving your all to your professional aspirations.

South Node of Destiny In Capricorn

The South Node — opposite the North Node, and the other point where the moon's orbit intersections the plane of the solar system — represents lessons you bring with you from previous lifetimes. With a South Node in Capricorn, it's important to learn how to create your own traditions within your family instead of relying on structures from the past. You can create your own rules. 

Capricorn Compatibility

The Capricorn friend and partner is dedicated and loyal. Their love will grow and transform over time as they dedicate themselves to the long haul in everything they do and with everyone they care about. They're such hard workers that people don't realize they're also very sweet and loving, but these, too, are notable Capricorn traits. Read on for a glimpse into Capricorn's compatibility with each of the other zodiac signs.

Capricorn and Aries

Capricorn finds the energy of Aries to be refreshing and enjoys their fiery banter. Both signs are focused on success and will help elevate each other's personal and professional status to the highest level.

Capricorn and Taurus

What a team! This earthy duo certainly does enjoy each other's company. Capricorn is great at planning and Taurus loves to follow the plans made by their sweet goat partner. Not to mention, how sensual the vibe is between these two — straight-up steamy.

Capricorn and Gemini

The Sea Goat gets a kick out of Gemini's tales and their ability to multitask, acknowledging the work ethic of the twins. Capricorn appreciates Gemini's desire to make this pairing work at all costs.

Capricorn and Cancer

Known for their serious nature, Capricorn's have a soft spot for their opposite sign, Cancer, as Cap's feel they represent the gentler sensibilities of the goat. This romance can be a roller coaster as Capricorn may feel Cancer's emotions are too topsy turvy for their liking.

Capricorn and Leo

Both signs are loyal by nature and try to stay true to their partner. This pair just has different emotional styles. Leo likes to lavish freely with attention and Capricorn opts to work hard for attention and love. (

Capricorn and Virgo

This is a pair that's frequently attracted to each other because they share earthy needs. However, Capricorn can feel a little stuck because they tend to share an affinity for the same mundane activities.Both have a practical nature which can draw them closer, but it can create issues down the road as Capricorn may outgrow the relationship.

Capricorn and Libra

Capricorn sees Libra as their ticket to success, which is very fitting because Capricorn is known to be a hard worker. Libra may elevate their public standing or social circle through their connections, which will make Capricorn feel sexy and popular as a result.

Capricorn and Scorpio

This hot pair has the steamiest sex, filled with excitement and lusty interludes, making them uncontrollably attracted to each other, craving each other all day and night.

Capricorn and Sagittarius

At times, Capricorn may be suspicious of the archer's carefree attitude towards responsibilities. This relationship can work with compromise, but Capricorn may be unsure or feel Sag is too complicated due to their changeable desires and energy.

Capricorn and Capricorn

Together, they both feel secure and stable. Two Sea Goats accept the unpredictable side of the relationship for the promise of steady comfort and overall reliability, which they both love.

Capricorn and Aquarius

The signs may become entranced with each other very quickly! Capricorns remain steadfast in their attraction but may grow detached from their Aquarian partner at times when they feel the cupbearer is being aloof. The match can work if they commit to talking things out.

Capricorn and Pisces

This is a lovely coupling that allows Capricorn to soothe their rough and tumble mindset and let go, rolling steadily through the Piscean sea of intrigue, mystery, and glamour as Pisces enjoys the depth of Cap's commitment.
