Unexpected job fields Goats would excel in!
Do traditional Cap-made careers seem boring to you? Well, luckily a determined Goat can do well in just about anything. Why not consider these lesser-known jobs that are suited for Capricorns:
Blogger. Teach, discuss and inspire others on any subject near and dear to you.
Yoga instructor. You could use a little de-stressing, and once you master your moves, you can teach like no other. Especially Iyenger style, which focuses on precise postures.
Bakery owner. You can follow the exact measurements and times it takes to make wonderful baked goods. And you will practice until every roll is perfect!
Stylist. Yes, really. You could work for high-rollers who need to boost their appearance.
Are you projecting the right kind of public image?
You like to be in control and might think others admire your take-charge attitude. While many probably do, you might also come across as a bit (or a major) control freak… and that probably isn’t a good thing.
Do you refuse to let others do certain tasks because they won’t do them “correctly”? Are you always the first one to speak up about what needs to be done first, second, third… and what is a waste of time? Do you only ask for help if you’re feeling like a sinking ship?
Loosening up a little and letting others’ feedback and job performance shine will not only ease some stress off your shoulders, but it will make others feel that you value and respect them more. Win-win!
Should you ever try to mix business with pleasure?
With how much time Capricorns spend on their work, it seems natural that you might fall in love (or at least lust) with someone you work with. But should you act on your attraction?
Honestly, it could be a recipe for disaster, especially if the other is a workhorse like you or your opposite in that they will deter you from projects and sap your energy doing too many things that, be honest, you could feel waste your time. Then there’s of course the case of your love affair going sour. Having to see and commiserate with this person will be super uncomfortable, distracting, and might even make your other colleagues feel weird, gossipy, or jealous.
So, ultimately, keep your work and personal life separate unless you truly fall head over heels and just can’t stay away.
These famous Capricorns had major red carpet mess-ups!
People think Capricorns are sort of boring in the fashion department. Well here’s proof that’s a total misconception!
Marilyn Manson. Rainbow leopard leisure suit, siren red tresses, and a date in a see-through dress? YIKES!
Rod Stewart. He really lived up those 80s trends back when he was with model Rachel Hunter. Bright purple, polka dots, mix in some pin stripes, plaid, and a winged collar… and don’t forget his “timeless” shaggy, spiky hair!
January Jones. Sure, this Mad Men beauty can rock the red carpet, too, but let’s not forget the 2013 Met Gala scariness… weird sparkly black eye liner, part-braid-part faux-hawk, heavy, full-coverage metallic black gown. It wasn’t Halloween!
These Cap celebrities are workaholics…
Everyone knows Capricorns work hard and are determined to succeed. But these Goats took it to an extreme and hold multiple highly successful careers!
Ryan Seacrest: DJ, radio personality, TV show host, award show host, producer… he’s been nominated for several Emmys and won one for producing.
Jared Leto: He started as a TV star, switched over to lead singer of a popular rock band (and writes songs, too) while doing major films, and recently won an Oscar! He’s also a director, producer, activist, and philanthropist.
Zooey Deschanel: She’s an actress both on the big and TV screen, musician, has graced many ads and magazines for her quirky yet sexy persona, and is also a song writer.
What few know Capricorns can do so well…
So, all Capricorns are practical, serious workaholics, right? Totally wrong! Caps might get a reputation for being too stuck in routine, stubborn, and, well, kind of boring. But anyone making that judgment just hasn’t been lucky enough to see the real Goat!
Capricorns are incredibly creative. Their artistic side is often stifled because most fields in the arts don’t pay enough to make a decent living or even get by on. But you can find Capricorns lost in painting, outside taking amazing photos, and creating other unique masterpieces with their own two hands and imagination. So, don’t sell yourself or another Capricorn short—art runs in their blood!
You may have trouble working with these signs…
Capricorns can work with anyone, because they have a solid work ethic and are able to focus on the tasks at hand. But that’s not to say you like to work with everyone. Here are the signs to be weary of, and ideas for how to keep the peace between you.
Gemini: You don’t like that they can be hard to figure out and a little too silly. They don’t like that you’re “too serious” and controlling. Learn to appreciate their quirks—being a little goofier might actually be fun for you.
Leo: You can’t stand a show-off… especially when you don’t think they live up to their hype. They need the attention and might try to steal some of your ideas. Be strong and silent around them. Listen but never feed into their gossip or brain-picking.
Cancer: Their outward displays of warmth and sensitivity can get on your nerves, as your “coldness” might get on theirs. Be the father to their mother… firm but fair. And allow them to be emotional. It’s not your problem, really.
This Goat no-no might cost you that raise or promotion…
Do you ever feel like you are pulling way more weight than is fair? Or do you just love putting in the long hours—maybe overspending time doing personal things like seeing friends and loved ones, going out to eat at a reasonable hour, etc. Well, a little self-sacrificing can lead to burn out, build a wall between you and others, and even cost you advancement because you’re just too independent and could seem to be a live wire ready to explode if it all gets to be too much.
So, what to do? It’s easy! Relax. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Focus on doing things well over taking on everything. Spend time with those who really matter and will help refresh you during time off… pets, friends, family, even “you” time. You’re worth it—and that work perk!
Wise Words from Famous Sea Goats
Here are some of the best words, from funny to profound, from Goat stars:
“I’ve always liked Saturn. But I also have some sympathy for Pluto because I heard it’s been downgraded from a planet, and I think it should remain a planet. Once you’ve given something planetary status it’s kind of mean to take it away.” – Jared Leto
“Life’s too short to deal with other people’s insecurities.” – Anthony Hopkins
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” – Dolly Parton
“They’re funny things, Accidents. You never have them till you’re having them.” – A. A. Milne
“Fish and visitors stink after three days.” – Benjamin Franklin
“The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.” – Carl Rogers
“My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.” – Cary Grant
“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – E. M. Forster
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
The critical factor in winning a Capricorn’s heart…
It’s no secret that Sea Goats need to feel secure in their relationships and that loyalty is crucial. But the number one love need for Capricorns is feeling respected. If you feel you aren’t being valued, appreciated, and adored as much as you should be, forget it!
Some advice for anyone dating a Capricorn: if you want the relationship to be happy and possibly permanent, never use disrespectful language, statements, or judgments to their face. There’s a way of sugar-coating by pointing out positives and using a little psychology to let a Capricorn figure out their own shortcomings. Just don’t be the one to point them out!
