What Is A Capricorn?
This is the tenth astrological sign in the zodiac which is assigned to people born between and including December 21 to January 19. It is symbolized using the animal ‘goat’ and describes those people who are built for hard work. They are very disciplined and are good managers especially of themselves.

The birthstone of this sign is Garnet but it is also associated with other stones such as Blue Topaz, Ruby, Onyx and Turquoise.
The element of Capricorn is earth which gives it a sense of practicality and an urge to accept that which is relevant to the five senses. Capricorns focus on sensation which means they will give value to that which can be seen or experienced with their five senses and hence tested and proven. They do not rely much on what goes on in their mind or what intuitions they may receive. Also, being earthly, they value practical steps. They will aim high but not unrealistically; they do not like idealism but prefer to be practical.
The ruling planet of Capricorn is Saturn; the planet with rings. This is an interesting planet that focuses on the possibilities in life. If you give in to the limitations of life you will live within a certain framework. However if you challenge yourself you will be able to achieve what you desire. Also, this planet signifies the concept that you get what you deserve. This is what pushes Capricorns to work so hard; they want to be rewarded for their efforts. They do not believe in luck.
The Personality Traits Of Capricorns.
Hard Workers.
Never underestimate what a Capricorn can do! They are diligent workers who know they need to work hard in order to achieve their goals. They will put in all their effort to learn skills or complete tasks they have or manage projects they have undertaken. Putting in their time, money and physical effort, Capricorns are the ‘all or none’ type who will go the extra mile to achieve the milestones they have set.
These are the people who stay up and study for their tests or spend extra time at the office to get tasks done or prepare beforehand for a meeting. They will spend more time working for causes they believe in trying to focus on stuff so that it can be done well.
Even if they do not have the skills, these zodiac signs will put in effort to learn them or work using another strategy! Nothing stops them.
Ambitious
Capricorns are very ambitious. This is the motivation or drive that pushes them to put in all that hard work and time in their projects or tasks and pushes them to finish off things and not leave them hanging. These are the types of people who will carefully set their goals in a practical manner; this doesn’t mean they are easy to achieve. They are challenging but the Capricorn is careful not to set any goals that are unrealistic which will lead to demotivation and wastage of efforts.
Once determined, the Capricorn will not step back. If they have to get something done they will and won’t let anything come in between them and their end goal. If they do not have the means to achieve something they will create the means and if they don’t know how to then they will go and learn how to from someone. There is just no stopping them.
So next time you are working with a Capricorn you are in luck! They are going to be one of those people who will make sure things reach a conclusive end.
Focused.
Paying attention to the detail, Capricorns have great skills when it comes to engaging thoroughly in a task. They will be able to zone out all other things and focus all their attention on what they are doing. Probably because they have command over their senses, they are able to manipulate their attention and thus do their job well.
Responsible.
If a Capricorn is given a duty, they will perform it well so don’t worry! Yes they are very responsible creatures who value people’s trust and will ensure they do not break it. If they need to get something done on time like completing their homework, meeting a friend or planning for a party they will do things timely. Even if it is a boring task that they might dread their responsibility and values of commitment will push them to complete things.
Capricorns are someone you can count on! Don’t get anxious if you have asked them to do something for you. They are pretty responsible beings and won’t disappoint you!
Self Control.
Yes self control is very important especially when you need to get a lot of things done and those too challenging! Capricorns are very disciplined beings who know when they need to get back to work and stop playing. This trait helps them develop others; they are able to focus on the task at hand, ensure they have enough time to get work done and meet deadlines. Hence they are people who are focused, disciplined and responsible.
These are the people who can keep an eye on themselves. They are great at telling themselves what boundaries they need to set and make sure they do not slip. People with self control have control over their lives and make sure their desires do not prevent them from reaching their goals.
Great Managers.
All these qualities in Capricorns make them very good managers because of the very fact that they can get work done on time! Capricorns not only manage themselves but they can manage others very well! They will set up great schedules for their team and ensure they meet them by helping them focus and be responsible. They are not only good managers but great team leaders because they can instill the ambition they have in others!
Pessimistic.
Sometimes these creatures can become very pessimistic! They will adopt a very negative attitude towards how they view themselves and their work as well as the world! This is because they are very involved and are on most part perfectionists – anything below their standards will disappoint them.
Also they focus on how things look rather than how things feel and this is what leads to further negativity. Something can be fun to do but the results may not be so great but as long as you enjoy it it doesn’t have to count. Capricorns however adopt a more strict rule when it comes to life. They always want to be productive!
Burn Out.
All that work, energy and focus can quickly tire out a Capricorn. However, out of habit, they will keep on going until they experience a breakdown. They will feel like they have no energy left and they won’t be able to do even the tiniest of tasks.
If you’re facing this, it may be a good idea to seek the help of a therapist or other mental health professional. You can find a therapist at BetterHelp who can help you learn how to cope and address it.
Rigid.
Sometimes Capricorns are stubborn and this may be because they have a very hectic and strict schedule to follow. If they move out of line they may not be able to complete their work on time hence they do not incorporate flexibility into their routine partly because of the lofty goals they have set that require work around the clock.
