Capricorn: dates and personality

What Capricorn is like

Capricorn is the energy of structure and achievement: it climbs the mountain step by step. Its archetype is the strategist and mature authority, disciplined, responsible, with a long-term view. Time is its ally: it improves with age. Its challenge tends to be harshness with itself and confusing worth with performance.

In love

In love it is serious, slow to commit but solid: it shows affection through deeds and steady presence. Beneath its reserve lies deep loyalty and an endearing dry humor.

At work

At work it is ambitious, methodical, and born for responsibility: it holds structures together and reaches the goal. It excels in management, leadership, and long-haul projects.
