Typical Traits of a Capricorn

It’s Capricorn season! Capricorns are born between December 22nd and January 19th and belong to the Earth element of the zodiac – which makes sense considering how grounded they are in reality when it comes to making their dreams happen. Capricorn is the tenth astrological sign in the zodiac out of twelve total zodiac signs, originating from the constellation of Capricornus, the horned goat. So, what are the traits of a Capricorn? Keep reading to learn all about them.

They’re Persistent

Caps may not be the fastest, cleverest, or the most talented, but hard work beats talent every time when talent doesn’t work as hard. That’s why so many Capricorns make it – they never give up.

They’re Ambitious

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.

They’re Disciplined

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.

They’re Realistic

There are literally no flies on them as 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”.

They’re Sensitive

Capricorns have zero-tolerance when it comes to being made fun of, like, ZERO. They will hunt someone down if they feel mocked or undermined by them. It’s a sin that won’t be forgotten in their book.
