The saying goes “stubborn as a goat” and this was probably invented to describe a Capricorn. Those born under this zodiac sign are dedicated, reliable, and they can persevere when others give up. And sometimes, they are just plain stubborn and don’t know when to let something go.
An Earth sign, Capricorn is reliable and trustworthy. Ruled by Saturn, when they give their word, they intend to keep it, and they expect the same from others. While Capricorn is generous and doesn’t like to say no to others, as a Cardinal sign, they put themselves first. They have their own plans and their own goals, and they don’t really like to make compromises to those things for anyone.

Capricorn Traits, Strengths & Likes
Capricorn is one of the most disciplined of the zodiac signed. They have the kind of self-control that others envy. They have no problem sticking to a diet, committing to a workout routine, or putting in the long hours looking at the details until the work is done. They love the feeling of accomplishment that coms with meeting goals, and always makes sure to celebrate their successes.
This sign is also incredibly reliable, and if they say that they are going to do something, they will do it. They firmly believe that you get out of life what you put in, and so they work hard, help others, and they are always as good as their word. They appreciate the respect that they receive from being reliable and dependable, and they generally like to have their hard work acknowledged. They are happy to put in the hours, but expect appropriate recognition.
Capricorn is also highly ambitious, and always has their eyes on a goal. They also have a detailed plan of exactly how they are going to get to their destination. This sign doesn’t tend to leave things to chance. They like to think everything through, assess all the options, and make rational decisions about the best way forward. As a result of this, they tend to have stable and secure lives in terms of work and money. They appreciate the freedom that comes along with this type of stability.
Sagittarius Challenges & Weaknesses
Capricorn can sometimes be a little too focussed. Their eyes can be so trained on their destination and plans that they can miss out on the unexpected opportunities to pop up around them. They are often so committed to their goals and plans than they can struggle to make genuine compromises to accommodate others.
Capricorn’s plans generally involve self-improvement, as they have a tendency to be pretty self-critical. They set themselves strict rules by which they choose to live their lives, and they can be very hard on themselves when they fail to live up to their own gruelling standard. As a result, you can always take Capricorn at their word. But be warned, they are pretty unforgiving when others let them down.
While Capricorn will always happily extend a helping hand to others, they can’t bear to ask for help themselves. They honestly believe that they can handle anything that life throws at them on their own. Asking for help is a sign of weakness. They can also struggle to say no, or admit that they don’t have the time or energy for something. If they let things get out of hand, they can sometimes find themselves backed into a corner and under a lot of stress.
Capricorn Love, Sex & Compatibility
Compatible Signs – Cancer and Virgo
It can be hard to get Capricorn’s attention. They are so focussed on their own lives that they don’t always look up long enough to see the opportunity for love. In fact, when it comes to finding a partner, they probably have a list of exactly what they are looking for. This sign can also be pretty ruthless in writing people off. That said, Capricorn is pretty connected with their heart and desires, and they will find themselves updating their list to fit when the right person does eventually catch their eye.
Relationships are hard for Capricorn as they have firm plans and they like to have things their way. Compromising and making space for others in their lives can be a real challenge. For this reason, they thrive better with someone who is dedicated and hard working, like they are. They don’t do well when more chaotic people enter their space. But when they find a partner who matches their ambition and dedication, there is no holding them back!
Capricorn Compatibility
Cancer craves safety and stability, as will be drawn to Capricorn as providers of this. Cancer is also the kind of flexible person who is happy to build their lives around another person, which will suit Capricorn’s rigidity perfectly. While the relationship may seem uneven from the outside, it works for these two signs.
Virgo also makes a good match for Capricorn, but in a more challenging way. Virgo matches Capricorn for their ambition and dedication, but needs to forge their own path and won’t bend. This can be challenging for Capricorn, but in a way that is healthy for them. Virgo will also fuel Capricorn’s ambition as the two get involved in a little healthy competition.
Capricorn doesn’t tend to mix will with Aries or Leo, as these signs also tend to put themselves first. With no one willing to compromise, making it work just becomes impossible.
Capricorn Career and Money
Career
Capricorn are both ambitious and diligent, which means that they are pretty much always successful in life. They are the person who is first in and last out of the office, ad the one putting their hand up for every opportunity. Nothing holds them back from getting ahead.
And at the head of the table is where they want to be! Capricorn never dreams small. They don’t want to have their own business, they want their own internationally successful company. They don’t want to be the head of department, they want to be the CEO. This sign is ambitious. But they are also moral. They won’t do anything to get ahead and would never throw a colleague under the bus. They believe they hard work is the answer and that their hard work will earn them they recognition that they deserve. They aren’t braggers, they don’t need to be.
Capricorn make good leaders as they are good at analysing different points of view to come to a decision. They also aren’t afraid to take responsibility for their decisions, even when they don’t work out. However, they often find themselves with too much on their plate as they struggle to delegate. They believe that no one can do it better than them. Things only start to give when they realise that they time they are giving to the little things are limiting the time they can commit to the big things.
Money
Capricorn are good with money. They are good at making it, investing it, growing it and keeping it. However, they can be a bit stingy with it. They always research the best deals and get frustrated if they discover they over paid. They will always want their change when splitting the bill, and they never tip in excess. But this is part of the reason that they rarely have financial worries.
Capricorns crave stable and successful lives that involve a good job, their own home, and stable investments. They have the ambition and the discipline to make these a reality.
Capricorn Self-Care Tips
No one can fault Capricorn for their ambition and dedication, but it can sometimes get them in trouble. They never embark on a new adventure without a plan. But they can be so strict with themselves when it comes to sticking to the plan, that they can fail to see other opportunities. They also have a tendency to take on more than they can handle. They get particularly stressed when they then fail to deliver, as this sign is scrupulous about their word. Those born under this constellation need to practice saying no and delivering better on less.
