The most ambitious sign of the zodiac, Capricorn represents focus, caution and common sense. As the cardinal earth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn knows how to make the best use of what exists here on earth. The patience and determination seen in Capricorn can help to provide a stable foundation for growth. But Capricorn can also become too controlling, inhibited or rigid. Symbolized by The Goat, Capricorn prefers the sure-footed path to the top, and will stand firm for a long time rather than back down.

When hurt, Capricorn can be melancholy, and when uncertain, Capricorn can be driven by fear. Sometimes considered to be miserly, Capricorn prefers to be responsible and frugal, and can make the best use of all resources. Through its connection with the energy of Saturn, Capricorn signifies the quintessential authoritarian.

Where you see Capricorn in your chart you find a need for structure and conscientious effort.
