Capricorn Traits & Personality

Capricorns are the workaholics of the zodiac. If there’s one thing that they take seriously, it’s their job. They are here to build and leave a legacy, no matter how large or small this is in the grand scheme of things. This is a moving, active earth sign, signifying work to be done on the material realm. 

The life lesson of a Capricorn is self love and self-acceptance. Displaying approval-seeking behavior by becoming a workaholic or success and status-obsessed individual will not bring ultimate fulfillment. It will keep them trapped in an endless cycle. Success comes when you accept that you’ve already “arrived” in life. Identify with the soul, not the material.

Capricorn Destiny & Soul Purpose

The Centaur represents the conflict between the lower-half of man, animalistic urges and impulses, and the higher half, elevated human thought. The archer drawing back his arrow shows the necessity for Sagittarius to have higher goals and aspirations in life, to see the bigger picture of life’s suffering and to accept how it all interconnects to form a meaningful story.

Sagittarius must find a philosophy or purpose that can propel them and those around them to greater heights (e.g. overcoming suffering). These souls are here to spread the truth to others, to teach, share wisdom, and bring more positivity into the world. They are here to take risks and move towards the biggest adventure or calling in their lives. Sagittarius must follow their inspiration at all costs.

What is Capricorn Like in Love & Relationships? 

When it comes to emotionally connecting with someone, Capricorns are the opposite of the ooey-gooey, emotionally comforting sign of Cancer. It’s just not their thing. 

They show love through what they do for the other person. They are, however, very practical, supportive, committed, family-oriented, dependable, and trustworthy — albeit a little slow to open up. 

Capricorn Soulmate 

Capricorns love being with partners who can be there for them emotionally, even mother them sometimes. After duking it out in the professional sphere of life, they want to come home to someone who is like family, someone who can give them comfort and emotional support.

Usually the best partner for a Capricorn is Virgo. They are both earth signs that work together to make life easier, focusing on things like paying the bills and planning vacations on a budget. Another great match to Capricorn is Taurus. Taurus can put a lot of trust in Cappy to pay the bills and take action, whereas Capricorn can find a lot of pleasure and fun in a relationship with the creative, sensual sign of Taurus.
