Capricorn (Dec. 21 – Jan. 20)
Capricorns are mature, responsible characters displaying a sense of commitment
Capricorns are mature, responsible characters displaying a sense of commitment and a need to function well. They tend to be pessimistic and always aim to maintain self-control.
Capricorns assume reality is never as good as it appears to be. They are characterized by cold realism and a search for clear, rational facts. Capricorn is also the sign of time, the clock, and history.
Capricorns are quick to judge, criticize, doubt, and reject. They see matters in black and white, and lack the ability to recognize intermediary shades.
The British people and England are known for typical Capricorn characteristics. Capricorns want proof, not tales, and search for facts as opposed to relying on imagination.
They are strict when it comes to completing tasks and following a schedule, otherwise they may be ridden with guilt. In general, Capricorns are burdened by deep guilt and even a certain fatalistic religious nature.
For Capricorns, work comes above everything and no shortcuts will do. They also value hierarchy, the establishment, and status. Richard Nixon was a typical Capricorn, unwilling to give up the presidency.
They are often afraid of emptiness, and strive to closely follow the ticking of the clock. The sign represents limits and frameworks and is associated with a sense of contraction, limitation, and minimization.
Home and family
Despite the desire for harmony at home, Capricorns often find themselves embroiled in struggles, and may even experience aggression at home. The family atmosphere is impulsive, energetic, and restless.
Capricorns tend to prefer penthouses and value esthetics, design, and beauty in the house. At home they may serve as mediators and imposers of justice, and are also likely to welcome guests warmly.
Marriage, relationship, and love
The male Capricorn searches for a woman similar to his mother. Relationships tend to fall into a routine, and at times there is an inability to express emotions openly.
The partner would tend to be a serious, hard-working person, and the first meeting may take place under professional circumstances.
Capricorns also have a traditional, religious side to them and a connection to the past and to history, which is often manifested through conservatism. When it comes to romance, money and resources are related to love.
Capricorns tend to maintain relationships at any price, and have a hard time handling breakups. The Capricorn woman could get involved with a man from the past, and tends to be attracted to the shy, solid type. Moreover, the female Capricorn is often required to serve as her partner’s advisor and psychologist.
Sexuality
Despite the conservatism and seriousness associated with this sign, a surprising sexuality that is open-minded, primal, wild, and dramatic, is not uncommon. Capricorns are also open to bisexuality, and in general tend to indulge in unconventional sex lives.
Attitude to innovations and the future
Capricorns are often afraid of innovation and the future, preferring to maintain the current existence and not tamper with the daily routine.
Career, work, and finances
Capricorns are suitable for management positions, law, tourism, fashion, cosmetics, teaching, instruction, subjects related to foreign countries, and academic institutions.
Despite their natural shyness, at work they are forced to become more extroverted and need exposure. Construction and geology are also related to this sign, as well as administration and politics, orthopedics, and dentistry.
School and foreign countries

Health
Skin, bones, teeth, joints, the spinal cord, respiratory system, lower back, liver, and calcium levels are susceptible to health problems.
Dress, fashion, and clothes
Capricorns typically favor heavy, official, professional, and somewhat old-fashioned clothes.

Attitude to God/religion
Mysticism is possible, as well as confusion and vagueness. A need for religious harmony and a connection between religion and romantic relationships are common.
Attitude to the past/future

Time perception
The passage of time is kind to Capricorns, who tend to become better looking with age.
