Those born under the sign of Capricorn are all about hard work. They’re ambitious and determined as well as practical and realistic. Shrewd and to the point, they’re meticulous with details and produce the maximum effect with the minimum of effort and energy. They’re masters of self-control, able to learn from their mistakes, and are first-class people to have in charge.

Saturn’s influence makes Capricorn practical and responsible. They can be a tad materialistic bordering on greedy, but never carried away by it. They often have an economical streak, especially with words – they say what they have to say in the fewest words possible. This way with brevity can make them appear domineering, cold, distant, and unforgiving.

Capricorn represents time and responsibility. They set high standards for themselves and are usually clear headed and self-critical. They tend to be over serious, pessimistic and emotionally inhibited. They’re often serious by nature and prone to guilt feelings and focusing too much on the past. However, they’re also said to age backward, becoming increasingly youthful, optimistic, and playful as they mature.

Famous Capricorn include: Mozart, Schubert, Martin Luther King Jr., Benjamin Franklin, Anthony Hopkins, Elvis Presley, Al Capone, Howard Hughes, Robert W. Service, Isaac Asimov, A.A. Milne, Rod Steward, Orlando Bloom, Diane Keaton, and Dolly Parton.
