Capricorn
December 22 to January 19
The patient climber who plays the long game.
Understanding Capricorn
Capricorn is the cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn, the planet of time, structure and mastery. Capricorns are ambitious in a quiet, durable way, willing to climb slowly toward goals that matter and to do the unglamorous work others skip. There is real integrity in how they build.
The strength of Capricorn is discipline that turns into lasting achievement. The growth edge is permission to rest and to feel, because a life measured only in accomplishment can forget to be lived. Capricorn grows by learning that worth is not only earned.

Capricorn in love
Capricorn loves with loyalty and the long view. They may be reserved early on, but they take commitment seriously and become a steady, protective partner who shows love through reliability and effort. They want someone who respects their drive and shares their values. Capricorn often harmonizes with the earth and water signs, especially Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio and Pisces.
