Capricorn is serious and responsible, and loves to uphold traditional values and practices. They are also highly independent and have mastered self-control. They make concrete plans for both their future and for others, making them great managers and leaders. Mistakes are only learning curves which help them to get further to their goals, once they have learnt from them. Below explains everything you need to know about a Capricorn, their personality and characteristics, which zodiac signs they are most compatible with, the jobs they are most likely to have, and their relationships with the ones closest to them.

Being an earth sign, Capricorns can become attached to material things quite easily, but it also means that they are extremely grounded. However, it also can make them stubborn and reluctant to see from different perspectives other than their own. They can find it difficult to accept and understand differences from the people around them, and can try to put their views and traditional values onto them instead. The ruling planet of Capricorn is Saturn, and it represents restriction, as well as responsibility and practicality. The effect from Saturn makes them prone to feeling guilty, putting blame on themselves for past mistakes, and can make them seem cold and distant. 
  
Capricorn and Love

They may have their walls up high when it comes to their love life, but once you break it down they are committed to you for eternity. Showing vulnerability is difficult for Capricorns, and they can be closed off until you get to know them and gain their trust. Showing sensitivity comes usually through acts rather than words or other forms of communication, and it may take a while for them to talk about difficult subjects that involve their emotions. However, once in a committed relationship, their partner can rely on them for anything, including helping them further their own goals, not just their own. Granted, they do find it difficult to compromise, so important decisions such as buying a house together may be delayed if an agreement isn’t reached on their part. 
  
Capricorn and Friends/Family

Because they are stable and reliable, Capricorns make great friends. But they need to be friends with people who understand that there needs to be boundaries between them, that they need to be less inquisitive about Capricorn’s secretive nature, as well as being warm and loyal. Capricorns tend to not have too many friends, instead keeping to a small and close circle of friends who understand and respect them. They need calm influences over their life, as well as individuals who are honest and truthful. With family, they have a full understanding of their traditions, and will keep a hold of sentimental childhood memories. They love special events such as birthdays, Christmas, and new years, and will love to reflect with others about cherished past memories. They tend to put a lot of emphasis on their father being a big influence in shaping them as a person, and will blame them if things have gone wrong in their life. 

Capricorn and Career

Capricorns put a lot of pressure on themselves to be constantly perfect, and that applies with their professional life too. They give themselves a hard time trying to be dedicated to achieving their goals and will put in a lot of hard work to do so. When they maybe feel like they aren't up to scratch intellectually, they keep colleagues who have the attributes they desire close to them. They don’t mind working long hours, and will concentrate on getting the job done, and to an adequate level of quality. Career areas that they excel in include: finance, management, programming, law, and so on. They love jobs that need a lot of organisation, and are one of the only zodiac signs that prefer paperwork over being out in the field. They also love to follow rules, but that doesn’t mean that they are pushovers, and they can think outside the box when necessary. 

Capricorns can be difficult to open up once you first meet them, but give it some time and they will trust and be loyal to you forever. They value hard-work, honesty and intelligence in everyone they meet. Hopefully the above has given you a good understanding with this star sign, especially if you are a Capricorn yourself, or if you know one personally.
