Introduction: Characteristics of Capricorn

Capricorns are perhaps the most loyal and hardworking people under the Zodiac. Blessed with patience and endurance, they make ideal workers and trustworthy people.

But Capricorns have another darker side. If you’re a Capricorn, you may be more likely to become depressed and to lose your drive in life. Capricorns are not only hard on themselves but also slow to share their feelings. Signs of this despairing, apathetic spirit are only revealed when they turn to flippancy. Their mood swings are clearly evident to all, hence the word made for them - capricious.

Love

The majority of Capricorns marry for life. Although they tend to be critical and wary of the opposite sex, once they do find their mate they are loyal and dependable, even if sometimes inclined towards jealously and suspicion. Capricorns tend to make quiet and reticent people and attract others that want to get to know them. The mystery is part of their appeal as is their darkness and profound sense of irony.

As family members, Capricorns are fiercely loyal and tend to establish and follow a strict chain of command.

Finance

Capricorns are well known for their intensity and their deliberation. They’ll often think for months before coming to a financial decision and then are prone to worrying about it.

As such, Capricorns are advised to play the safe route in their investing and consider multiple safe ways to invest their money without putting it all into one place. Some such investments include:

Low risk stocks from well established companies
Government issued bonds
High-yield savings accounts
Retirement accounts including 401Ks and IRAs

Career

Capricorns make the ideal worker, but as a Capricorn you should carefully consider what would make you most happy. Don’t just go along with it because it seems like the safe thing to do. Safety and security is important but so is your mental health.

You should pick something challenging and secure in a friendly workplace environment where your boss and co-workers respect your dedication.

You may be well suited for the following professions:

Teacher
Banker
Real Estate Broker
Farmer
