Capricorn Zodiac • Personality & Characteristics

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)

Like the goat that represents your sign, Capricorns are strong, sure-footed, hard-working, and determined. You are ambitious and goal-oriented and will stop at nothing to achieve what you set out to do, making you very successful in your career.

Your offbeat humor and dry wit are some of your most endearing qualities, and your people know they can always count on you to lighten the mood. You can be a bit of a stickler for traditions and tend to be inflexible. However, those who know you best know that you are simply trying to maintain a sense of order in an otherwise chaotic world.

Capricorns are ruled by the planet Saturn. Saturn is a planet of responsibility and hard work. It is also a planet of limitations and restrictions. This reflects in the fact that you are often very disciplined and self-controlled. You are also very patient and are not easily discouraged.
