Driven to do their utmost best, Capricorns never let themselves off the hook. They're determined to show other people what they're made of. And, let's face it, a little bit obsessed with status and the trappings of success.

There are clear-eyed, perceptive, down-to-earth and worldly-wise characters. Their feet are so rooted on the ground that sometimes their gaze tips downwards, and they'll focus on the negatives rather than the "possibles".

If the 12 signs were given that toddler test about eat the sweet now or wait and get two sweets... Guess who'd be a winner? Right. Any Capricorn could sit there in that laboratory for years if they thought this was a battle of wills with a tangible reward. Caps can make sacrifices. They can control their urges. They are rock solid.

Capricorns aren't ones for flights of fancy or dreaming up new worlds, but instead interested in making things better in the real world. They're always smart and intuitive about how things work, and like to get involved and just do it (rather than read/write/watch/listen to it).
