Capricorn

The tenth sign is endowed with great strength and tremendous will power, and like the goat that symbolizes its energy, Capricorn never stops going until it reaches the summit of whatever area it inhabits. The goal is top priority for this cardinal sign, which produces some of the most capable leaders of the zodiac. Authority is Capricorn’s middle name, and these doers will stop at nothing on their way to the top of the mountain.

These earthy people are pragmatic and physically fit and never seem to run out of steam. Their authenticity is unequalled. They aren’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and work as much as necessary to take another step up the ladder to success. Tradition and family values matter a great deal to them. So do rules and regulations. The law is Capricorn’s ultimate authority. Capricorn will go to great lengths to uphold what is tried and true and proven to work.

Every Capricorn is here to take on the authority that is his or her birthright. However, this humble and rigid sign is often unable or unwilling to accept its position, because it has a hard time believing in its right to be in charge. Like its ruling planet, Saturn, this sign lives by the scarcity principle, is almost always understated and tends to experience various forms of oppression as a state of existence. It is every Capricorn’s purpose to overcome this aversion to believing in its own greatness, and to step into its rightful authoritative place in the world in order to provide for the people it leads so capably.
