Capricorns are born between the 22nd of December and the 20th of January and belong to the earth element of the zodiac (along with Taurus and Virgo, with whom they seem extremely compatible, romantic). The crew of Earth Signs are all realistic, self-confident, stoic and optimistic. You would like to see them in your corner, but maybe not at a party.

They rely not only on the material world but also have the desire to make the most of it. However, this aspect often makes them rigid and often too stubborn to shift within a relationship from one viewpoint or another. They have trouble recognizing differences in other people that are too far from their character and may seek to force their conventional beliefs against them out of fear.

Saturn is Capricorn's ruling planet, and that planet contains all manner of constraints. The power makes these people realistic and responsible, but also cold, distant and unforgiving, inclined to feel guilty and turned to the past. They need to learn to forgive and make a happier and more fulfilling life for themselves.

The goat is a sign of Capricorn, and it is an appropriate symbol. Goats enjoy hiking up the mountain top, where the air is clear and fresh. Capricorns seek to hit the top of their chosen field in much the same way so that they can reap the benefits of success; fame, reputation and wealth. But getting to the top isn't just a walk in the park, and its possible goats would ruffle a couple of feathers along the way. Sagittarius sun sign people can also lead on their way to the top, even egotistically. They will tell you that it's part of being a leader of brilliant new ideas (in keeping with the standard of the cardinal quality assigned to this sign).

Capricorn Negative Traits

Melancholy
There may be occasions when the Capricorns can appear sad and discouraged too. They appear to become sad because of which they want someone to make them happy too.

Over Serious
Capricorns are extremely severe and sober people with a deep sense of built-in responsibility for defending and caring for others. Capricorn's reserved attitude and serious demeanour can make them look standoffish, aloof and stiff to the point of not being pleasant.

Suspicious
Capricorns are really skeptical when things are too simple and, when things go too well, they dislike and believe that someone is out to get them. They're people who are inherently skeptical and will trust you before you give them a reason not to.

Unforgiving
One of Capricorn's hidden traits is their unforgivable character. When it comes to perceiving others as lacking in ambition and commitment they are extremely unforgiving.
