Prudent, practical Capricorns are the sensible sign of the zodiac, no flights of fancy here.

Born with an underlying ambition to succeed, a characteristic not noticeable to the casual observer, they plot and plan sometimes years in advance. Many Capricorns quietly and steadily create profitable empires through hard work and a commitment. Reward and profit may not be seen for quite a few years down the track but they are determined to wait. These notable entrepreneurs built their empire through dedication and a desire to prosper in an affluent world.

Many would assume that they are shy with their reserved nature but they prefer getting to know people first. Generally robust with a strong constitution, they are born with good bone structure but susceptible to problems with the knees. They have a natural beauty to their presence with determined focused eyes.

Symbol: The goat yearns to reach the summit of the mountain, but there is a rocky road on the path ahead. Life for a Capricorn is fraught with difficulties, but through virtue of hard work and perseverance they finally reach the peak.
