Capricorn at a Glance

• General

  • Ambitious: Known as incurable workaholics, there’s no wonder why these natives have the drive to make it to the top

  • Cold: It’s hard to tell if they like you… I promise, they treat everyone like that!

  • Patient: Saturn is literally Father Time, so having him as their ruler makes them aware of the long game

  • Calculating: I can’t lie, the previous thee points all culminate in this one and they all sound very “Super Villain”

  Symbol

  • The Sea-Goat, Capricornus

  • The sea-goat is jus that: half-fish, half-goat

  • She represents the diversity each Capricorn has within to dive into the depths of their emotional being while also climbing to the top of the material world

  • In Greek mythology, she’s identified as Amalthea, the goat who suckled Zeus while Hera hid him from his father, Cronus (or Saturn, in Roman mythology). This represents the status of Capricorn as an elder in the Zodiac, as well as a parental (though, mostly paternal) figure.

• Element

• Earth

• their realism, with practicality always in the forefront of their mind

• their down-to-earth demeanor; nothing seems to get these signs out of the present (unless it’s thinking about their projected future)

• their consistency; some call it boring; I call it dependable
  

• Modality or Quality

• Cardinal

• their direct nature

• their driven attitude

• their ability (nay, need) to cut through the illusions of others

Hardcore.

• Ruler(s)

  • Saturn, God of Time, the Capitol, Wealth, Liberation, and Agriculture

    • He is the more war-like version of Cronus, father of Zeus, who actually has no title beyond Leader of the Titans

    • Capricorn’s focus on maturation, reaching their definition of material success, and leadership places them firmly within Saturn’s grasp

• Hidden Trait

  • Humorous: Dry witticisms, deadpan humor, and AMAZING timing all equate to a natural comedian; their disposition just would not suggest that

• Deadly Sin

  • Greed: I was wrestling with Pride, but I think their need for success and all the spoils of it points toward greed

• Crime if Arrested

  • White Collar Crime: 3-to-5 in minimum-security federal prison; likely Martha Stewart’s old cell (which is great because she left a wonderful recipe for jailhouse hooch)

• Loves

  • Making money; I don’t think they’re materialistic, so much as they just want acknowledgement for their hard work

• Hates

• Being embarrassed; seeking public praise indicates that public embarrassment would have the opposite effect

• Will

• Turn inward rather quickly; it may seem random to you, but it’s necessary for them; try not to take it personally

• Won’t

• Let you down; that is, unless you’re not worthy of their time
