Capricorns

Capricorns are people born under the zodiac sign Capricorn, roughly from December 22 to January 19, depending on the year. The symbol is the Goat, sometimes depicted as the Sea-Goat. Capricorns belong to the Earth element and have a cardinal modality, signaling leadership and initiative. The traditional ruling planet is Saturn, with some modern traditions noting additional influence from Pluto.

Capricorns are commonly described as practical, ambitious, disciplined, and reliable. They value structure, long-term planning, and material security. They tend to be patient and慎慎, able to persevere toward goals, but may also be reserved, stubborn, or pessimistic at times. Strengths often include self-control, responsibility, and organizational abilities; drawbacks can include rigidity or a tendency toward workaholism.

In astrology, Capricorns are associated with the 10th house, which governs career, public life, and reputation. This placement emphasizes achievement, social status, and a measured approach to success. In relationships, Capricorns typically prefer loyalty and commitment, often taking time to build trust and ensure stability. Their compatibility is commonly discussed with fellow earth signs Taurus and Virgo, as well as water signs like Cancer and Pisces, though individual charts determine harmony.

Mythology and symbolism tie the sign to resilience and ascendance. The sea-goat image reflects the Capricorn drive to navigate difficult terrain and rise to higher ground, balancing ambition with practicality. Capricorn is one of the twelve signs of the zodiac, forming part of the earth element’s trio alongside Taurus and Virgo.
