From early childhood, most Capricorns are self-disciplined, serious, determined, mature and able to persevere in the face of adversity. Capricorns tend to work hard and rise in their chosen fields to achieve positions of status. In their careers, they often end up in positions of power, earning the respect of others rather than simply asking for it.
Most Capricorns keep their promises and fulfill their obligations. They are less likely to stand people up or waste their time than those of other signs, and they have little tolerance for “flakiness” or unreliability in others.

Capricorns have an excellent sense of humour, which tends to be rather wry or dark. When Capricorns feel hurt, this humour can become sarcastic and cruel, but the rest of the time they are inclined to be diplomatic, preferring to avoid unnecessary conflict.

Capricorns can be over-conventional, afraid to break with tradition or try new things because they are more comfortable with what has been proven reliable over time. They are slow to trust, and they don’t let their emotions show easily. Most have a deep fear of public humiliation and a strong streak of self-consciousness, which prevents them from making dramatic fashion statements or emotional scenes in public. When they are feeling anxious or low, others rarely know it.
Capricorns don’t usually bring their problems to others, but instead suffer in silence. They find it hard to open up to other people and so have difficulty establishing deep relationships, though when they do they tend to be very loyal, reliable and trustworthy friends.

    Akkra

    Woooo!! Yes, thank you Anna! I love this very much. I like that it’s so earthy and warm with all the aspects of nature around it. Spooky that I bare a slight resemblance to the lady sat on the goat (I’m not saying I’m a model or anything! lol).
    I don’t normally hold with astrology descriptions of peoples personalities but this one is so exactly right that I’m starting to believe that you’ve been spying on me… hmm… lol.
    This is a fave xx

  • Anna Shaw replied

    Dear Akkra, what a lovely comment to receive. You do indeed have the look f the model – how weird is that? Thanks for the fave too, wonderful.
