Capricorn will make a lot of money in their lifetime—and most of that money will stay in the bank. Some will go into some smart investments. They like having a large “rainy day” fund to make them feel safe and secure. Capricorns could be millionaires and they’ll still be clipping coupons. They believe that full price is the “sucker” price, and they’ll continue to brag about the deals they got. They are the type of people who still have had the same phone since 2010 with a cracked screen. “It still works, why get a new one?”
When a Capricorn does have to make a new purchase, they will spend hours doing agonizing research trying to find the best product for the best price. In their youth, Capricorn will be very careful with their money, so generally they’ll build a nest egg early. They want to live comfortably later on. Capricorn might retire early or be more willing to spend their money later in life.
Not a Team Player: Capricorn is the sign of the Seagoat, but they act like a lone wolf—both in work and in life. Sure, they may team up with a business partner or some co-workers in order to get a job done, but Capricorn is looking out for number one: themselves.
Burn Out: Capricorn is the workaholic of the zodiac. They are willing to work overtime, stay late, and power through anything in order to get the job done. Blessed with stamina, Capricorn will work for days without rest or food—running solely on fumes and caffeine.
Condescending: It’s not that they think they’re better than everyone, it’s just that they believe they have a higher calling. Because Capricorn is serious and monotone, people think that they’re talking down to them, when really Capricorn is just trying get straight to the point.
Greedy: Capricorns love money, but they can’t bear to spend a dime. If they are in charge of a business or working in accounting, they’ll be very frugal with money. They love getting raises and promotions, but don’t give them out easily.
Overly Ambitious: Ambition is Capricorn’s greatest strength and its greatest weakness, depending how they use it. Once Capricorns have their sights set on a goal, they will stop at nothing to achieve it—even doing somethings that they may not be proud of.
Computer Programmer: Capricorn loves to solve complex problems, which is why you’ll absolutely see a Seagoat in Silicon Valley. Computer jobs are always in high demand, which gives the job security that Capricorn enjoys—plus the room to climb the cooperate ladder.
Teacher: Capricorn has a lot of knowledge about many different subjects and have the ability to share that knowledge with others. Capricorn is the “strict parent” of the zodiac signs, so they have no problem laying down the law in their classes.
Accountant: With a love of money, creating structure, and helping others fix their lives, accountant is the perfect job for the Seagoat. Capricorns are hardworking, dependable, and pay attention to the smallest detail.
CEO: With Capricorn, they are in their career for the long run and are happy to climb the ladder to get to the very top. Capricorns are not bossy, they’re the boss.
Politician: Capricorns are natural-born leaders and crave to be in charge. The Seagoat’s ambitious nature certainly meshes well with a career in politics, either as a congressperson, governor, senator, and even dreams of the Oval Office. Enduring, organized, cunning, and ambitious they would do well in the political arena.
While Capricorns have a lot of strengths and talents, they do have some weak spots that they don’t want you to know about.
Pessimistic: Capricorn has a no-nonsense, realistic view of the world, which means that they have a very cynical view of the world, as well. They see the glass as half empty, bracing themselves for the worst possible situation. Capricorns rarely appreciate when things are going right in their world.
Controlling: Capricorn is a cardinal sign, meaning that they have a dominant personality. Because of their need to be in charge, they have a tendency to be controlling of both other people and their environment. Capricorns want to be in charge of everything because they believe that they know best.
Ruthless: Lord help you if you get in-between a Capricorn and their goal. When a Capricorn wants something, they will do whatever it takes to get it—even things that would raise the eyebrows of other zodiac signs. Capricorns are loyal and caring to their friends and family, but could easily sell-out co-workers and acquaintances to get ahead. They aren’t afraid of getting their hands dirty and taking advantage of any opportunity.
Brooding: Serious and stubborn, when Capricorn doesn’t get what they want, or feel that life is being more unfair that normal, they will start brooding. Their natural pessimistic viewpoint on life, coupled with being overworked, could lead a Capricorn to feel pretty sorry for themselves.
Penny-Pinching: Capricorn can be tight with their cash—not willing to part with a cent if they could help it. They are types who break out the calculator when a group of friends goes out for dinner. They’ll wait until something is broken before replacing it, even if they have money to replace it sooner. They want money because money equals status and success, which means a lot to them.
If a Capricorn has decided to break up with you, it’s usually because he or she had to choose between his or her ambitions and your relationship. Spoiler alert: They usually pick their ambitions. If they get a big promotion that takes them halfway across the country and their partner doesn’t want to move, Capricorns are still packing their bags. Nothing will get in the way of their goals, not even love.
Capricorns are looking for a partner who has the same dreams and vision as they do—someone they can work with. If someone is making them choose between them and their career—it was never meant to be. And Capricorn will be hurt that their lover had to make them choose. Capricorn will also break up with someone if they feel their partner is not ambitious enough for them. Capricorn wants a partner who is just as hardworking, accomplished, and talented as they are—the Seagoat cannot stand lazy people. They will not tolerate someone who lays around all day and won’t get a job. They don’t have the time for that.
During… If a Capricorn is getting dumped, he or she will be quiet and stoic during the process. Capricorns won’t ask why, and their pride will stop them from begging their ex to take them back. They are just waiting for the conversation to be over so they can leave. The ex might feel like Capricorn didn’t care at all because they didn’t have a reaction to the relationship ending. But that isn’t true at all: Capricorn cares deeply and will be devastated when a relationship is over. But they won’t be vulnerable to someone who is breaking their heart.
After the breakup… After the breakup, Capricorns will throw themselves into their work, staying late and working overtime. This is meant as both a distraction and because they are building new dreams and goals for themselves. Capricorn will block their ex on social media and even delete their number—even if the breakup went OK. Out of sight, out of mind. They will be a lot moodier and brooding than normal.
Long-term… Pain and struggle are common for Capricorns as they adjust to the highs and lows of life. In time, Capricorn can laugh about their breakup, but they are not quick to move on. Oftentimes petty, Capricorn may resort to looking at their ex’s social media and compare how successful their ex is to how successful they are. If the ex is more successful in life and has moved on into a new relationship, Capricorn will be salty. If Capricorn is the more successful one, they’ll be pretty pleased with themselves, making it easier for them to move on.
The biggest obstacle when it comes to seducing Capricorns is how to get past their shyness. Capricorn is naturally reserved, keeping large walls around their heart to not let any emotions or vulnerability out. In fact, a Capricorn can come off as very intimidating because of their aloofness. Part of that is because they have a lot of prestige about them (since Capricorn usually has a high power job or high social status). They can be hard to approach, especially because Capricorns can be so withdrawn.
There are two ways to do this. First, you could try impressing them by looking great, showing off your success, talents, and experiences. Nothing will turn a Capricorn on more than someone who’s just as ambitious and accomplished as they are. If you can make yourself seem like Capricorns’ dream match, they’ll push through their own shyness and make the first move. Capricorns are dominate people, and when they want something or someone, they’ll go after it.
While Capricorn is serious in the streets, they are freaks in the sheet. Sensual, physically sensitive, and strong, Capricorns make excellent lovers. Ambitious and driven, Capricorns like to feel like they’ve made a conquest, that they wooed and seduced their lover into bed. And next, they are going to do whatever it takes to please and satisfy their lover. Gifted with patience and stamina, Capricorns can make love for hours without stopping. They also crave physical touch so expect a lot of caressing, squeezing, and massaging during the act—and a whole lot of cuddling afterward.
Capricorn is cardinal sign, so they like to take initiative—both in and out of the bedroom. Being the boss of their own lives, they tend to be pretty dominant in bed. Capricorns are interested in dominant and submissive foreplay, where they take consensual control over their lover. In all things, Capricorn loves being on top. While Capricorns may seem boring and predictable in real life, they are very kinky in the bedroom.
Capricorns are not famous for their declarations of love. They’re reserved and shy when it comes to emotions. They aren’t the first ones in a relationship to say, “I love you,” and will probably just mumble it out. That is, if you can get them to say it without them making a joke. Their communication style is blunt and serious. Capricorns are not the type for flowery love poems, long-loving Instagram posts, or even a birthday card.
When a Capricorn proposes, it will be a simple affair. They’ll just hand their betrothed a ring or simply ask, “Hey, do want to get married?” Same with the vows. Always wearing a poker face, Capricorns can be difficult to read, and loved ones could wonder if they really care. Capricorns tend to be moody and temperamental, lashing out after periods of stormy silences. But Capricorns truly do care, they just aren’t good at expressing themselves with words.
Aries: Both Capricorn and Aries are strong-willed leaders, who won’t back down from an argument, which could lead to some intense fighting. They each live their lives completely differently. Capricorn is calculating and likes to plan out his or her every move, meanwhile, Aries is impulsive and wild. Aries’ living-in-the-moment attitude will drive the goal-oriented Seagoat mad. They also don’t forgive easily, and past conflicts will easily be brought up again and again.
Gemini: Capricorn may be blessed with a great deal of patience, but that won’t be enough to deal with the excitable, disorganized, extravagant, Gemini. These two have completely different ways that they live their lives. Capricorns are ambitious, hardworking, and strategic—they play the long game and will plan for years in advance. Meanwhile, Geminis will have changed their minds about their own ambitions five times before breakfast.
Leo: Leo is impulsive while Capricorn is a planner. Both are dominant personalities that will bow down to no one. Both crave to be completely admired, but are uninterested in sharing the spotlight. Unless one can take a backseat and compromise (a word neither Capricorn or Leo have ever used), this relationship should be avoided.
