Virgo: This power couple was written in the stars. These earth signs are instantly drawn together, attracted by each other’s intelligence. Both Virgo and Capricorn are hardworking, driven, and value loyalty above all else. They want to help each other change the world. Both are homebodies, and are more interested in having close intimate relationships than having a lot of acquaintances.
Scorpio: This pairing works great as a couple. Both are highly intelligent, disciplined, and are highly accomplished individuals. They can easily work together to achieve a common goal and problem solve as a team. Scorpio’s possessive nature will not scare off Capricorns because they see it as security, which Capricorns loves.
Pisces: Opposites really do attract in this couple. Capricorns provide stability and security that the flighty Pisces craves, while Pisces gives Capricorns affection, praise, and admiration they need. Capricorns are dominate, which suits the submissive, giving Pisces. Both Capricorn and Pisces are extremely loyal and prefer to spend time at home together.
In the beginning… At the start of a relationship, Capricorn will be very difficult to read. Reserved and aloof, the Seagoat is not the one to open their heart up easily—even when they are in a relationship. They like to keep their guard up at all times. If they decide to be in a relationship, they’re in it for good. If their partner is patient and gentle with Capricorn, they’ll eventually let their guard down and start becoming more vulnerable.
When things are going well… In relationships, Capricorns are looking for someone to help take over the world with them. They want to be a part of a “power couple” dynamic. Capricorn can and will stay single until they find that someone who is just as ambitious, accomplished, and talented as they are—while sharing the same vision. Once Capricorns find that person, they’re completely smitten with them. Always thinking in the long-term, Capricorn is already planning for the future.
When things are on the rocks… While Capricorn may appear confident and sure of themselves on the outside, they do have deep feelings of insecurity and self-doubt. They need constant praise and affirmation from their lover in order to feel safe and loved in a relationship. (Yes, even if your Capricorn doesn’t give you words of affirmation in return.) If Capricorns aren’t getting comforting words from their partner, they will retreat back into their shell. Next thing you know, their walls are back up. Sometimes defined as moody, Capricorns are prone to giving the silent treatment if they feel like they’ve been slighted by their lover or feel like they are not being appreciated enough.
Similar to the ruling planet, house, and element, numerology has a direct influence on zodiac signs. This is because each planetary body is linked to a single digit number. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn which, in numerology, is ruled by the number eight.
Eight is the “executive” of numerology; giving off a strong, successful, vibration. It’s the number of ambition and gaining both monetary and material wealth. Eight is the number of rewards that come after a period of intense struggle—the prize at the end of the race. The number eight is also in the same shape of the infinity sign, which holds both the highest point in life and the lowest point in life.
People with an eight life path number will experience both tremendous success in life and painful failure. However, this is comforting because it brings balance. When an eight life path is going through a rough patch, they can be hopeful that their luck is going to turn around soon. If the eight’s life is going great, he or she should celebrate with some caution, as nothing is ever permanent—there are still more mountains for him or her to climb.
Capricorn is ruled by the element earth, along with Taurus and Virgo. Earth signs’ core characteristics are practical, patient, hardworking, loyal, productive, controlling, reliable, and grounded. Earth signs are the builders of the zodiac. They manifest their desires into tangible realities.
The Devil—the fifteenth card of the Major Arcana—is one we might automatically associate with fear, unnerve, and anxiety. It doesn’t take a genius to understand that this tarot card isn’t the most welcomed in the deck, but it can be harder to understand why “the devil” is portrayed as a goat. Does it make sense now that you know this card is ruled by Capricorn—the Seagoat’s zodiac sign?
This tarot card appears when we have a toxic relationship with something—such as a person or a substance. It can also appear as a sign that we’re slipping into a toxic mindset. For example, we might be falling into materialism or striving for the very best… at all costs. For that reason, the Devil is a signal that we’re giving too much of our attention to something that is adversely affecting our health, wellbeing, and relationships with others.
As the overzealous worker bee of the zodiac, Capricorn makes a perfect connection with this card. This zodiac sign has a tendency to put all their effort into their work in an impossible pursuit to claim perfection.
Capricorn is ruled by the tenth house in astrology, the house of career and public roles. It is also the house of social status. In astrology and birth chart readings, this house reveals insight on where we get our attitudes toward long-term goals, ambitions, achievements, reputation, professions, and prestige.
This house is a little different than other houses—the tenth House is also known as the Midheaven or MC. In a birth chart, the Midheaven is at the very top of the chart, symbolizing a person’s most prized aspirations. The zodiac sign that rules your tenth house represents who or what qualities you are inspired to become or achieve. Since Capricorns govern over the tenth house, they are driven and determined to be the best and be “on top” in life. They care deeply about success, achievement, and how people perceive them.
Capricorns are workaholics, ruled by the hardworking element of earth. However, Capricorns work so hard because they want to achieve something great in this life. They want to be the top of their field and change the world—even if it’s only through their own personal work. It’s not enough to be good, Capricorn strives for greatness.
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of structure. In Roman mythology, Saturn is the god of agriculture, credited as being the founder of civilization and social order. In astrology, Saturn represents our obstacles, limitations, restrictions, and disciple. Saturn’s influence can be seen in your routines, your reasoning abilities, and how you plan out your life.
Saturn acts as an overprotective father figure—which is similar to how Capricorn comes off, as well. Capricorns act like a strict authority figure who are protective of others. They always look and act mature for their age—as well as easily and eagerly take on responsibility.
Capricorns are very structured. They enjoy the routine they so carefully built for themselves. They have their goals set and marked in stone, knowing that if they just keep working hard, they’ll eventually be rewarded for their efforts. As Saturn is slow to move around the sun, Capricorns are not known for the speed in which they achieve their major goals. But for what they lack in haste, they easily make up for in endurance and stamina.
Capricorn is a cardinal sign—meaning, they are the initiators of the zodiac! If you need something done and done right, then this is the season for you! With Capricorn season being right at the height of winter, there’s an element of conserving energy and resources: Two skills Capricorns are quite adept at doing! This is a time of doing things with the intention—to ensure every step we take has purpose. Why? Because the days are short and the nights are long. Action is a must!
Ironically, because we have so much time of inactivity, Capricorn season gives us some motivation to continue being productive. What do you want and why do you want it? Capricorn gets so much done because they don’t just react and go from idea to immediate action. While their creativity allows them to see the big picture, their earthy nature enables them to think before they act.
