Capricorn Traits & Personality

Capricorn Traits & Personality...

It really isn't all about money for Capricorn but sometimes it certainly does seem that way. They like money and the security it gives, but they're really more concerned with status, success and achievement. Money just happens to be the usual symbol and reward for these pursuits. Capricorns can't help being preoccupied with a desire to increase their status in the world. Status and money make them feel safe, secure, and sure of themselves.

From childhood, Capricorns have a built in sense of seriousness and responsibility. Most often, this is actually felt most strongly in childhood and less so in old age. The idea is that if you come out strong right out of the gate and achieve when you are young, you will be able to relax in your old age. This is really an unconscious drive, but nonetheless, it is felt strongly in Capricorns.

The more outgoing Capricorns will often dress in a flashy way that displays their wealth. Jewelry, expensive shoes, handbags or cars are common tools used by Capricorns to make the world feel that they have achieved high status and success. Even if they really haven't achieved a high level of success, they will at least want to be perceived as though they have. The Capricorn suns are generally the more showy types. They love jewelry and expensive cars. They want the world to see them as successful. Capricorn moons prefer to keep their money in the bank where it makes them feel most secure. Security is essential for them. This need for security can also make Capricorns pretty tight with the purse strings. You can't blame them for wanting to hang on to that money which gives them so much security, and which they worked so hard for. Yep, some people call this "cheap". Don't tell them that though! If you come across a Capricorn sun who doesn't seem concerned with status and money and they aren't all that showy, then they are concentrating their energy on their family.

Family is the other area of importance for Capricorn suns and moons. Capricorn personalities will make huge sacrifices for their families. They will take care of the elderly and the young alike. A Capricorn is likely to offer a room in their home to their ailing parent or parent-in-law. They are also likely to have their children in an expensive private school. Having a child in a private school satisfies their need to care for their family in the best fashion possible and also gives their family the sense of an elevated status. Capricorns will have an aura of strength about them. Many are strong, silent types who somehow seem older than their peers. While others are more outgoing. Either way, they will have a definite presence when they are in your company.

There are the "Godfather" types who sit quietly in the background while they somehow grab the respect of everyone present without seeming to try. Then there are the "big personality" types who take over the room with their loud voices and commanding attitudes. Whether it's a quiet strength or an outgoing strength, it's unmistakable and, for the most part, it isn't unmerited. Capricorns are reliable and hardworking people, and can be counted on when they are needed.

In fact, rare is the Capricorn who doesn't remind the world that they are reliable and hardworking. Yes, they will talk about it. They always have so much work to get done and so many responsibilities to juggle. God forbid you tell them that you have more to do than they do. No way, they will always have more chores and responsibilities than you. According to them, they carry the world on their shoulders, and they usually aren't happy about it. Don't worry though, they will absolutely get the work done, but they will also absolutely complain about it along the way. This can actually be quite funny. They have a very dry, negative sense of humor and their world is constantly caving in on them. Just go along with them. They need to vent sometimes. All of that seriousness and responsibility is a heavy burden. If they need to vent with sarcastic, depressing but somehow hilariously cutting remarks, let them, because you will want them on your side when you need a rock of a person to count on!
