Character
Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn, the planet of structure and time. It is disciplined, ambitious and patient, willing to work steadily towards a long-term goal and to take responsibility along the way. Capricorns often seem older than their years when young and more playful as they age. Beneath a reserved manner there is dry humour and a strong sense of duty.
Love and relationships
In love Capricorn is cautious at first and then deeply loyal. It shows commitment through reliability: providing, planning and showing up, rather than through words. Allowing itself to relax, to say how it feels and to leave work at the door brings its relationships closer.
Work and money
Capricorn thrives in management, finance, engineering, government, law, construction and any field with a clear ladder to climb. It is dependable and organised, and it rises steadily. With money, Capricorn is usually a careful saver and planner, though it may postpone enjoyment until the goal is reached.

Compatible signs
Taurus, Virgo, Pisces and Scorpio are the traditional matches for Capricorn: the other earth signs, and the two signs of the complementary element that sit 60 degrees away. Earth signs share Capricorn's practical values, and water signs help soften its reserve. Other cardinal signs bring energy but can compete with Capricorn over who leads.
