Capricorn Traits

The strongest of Capricorn traits is steadiness. Ambitious, determined, hard working, disciplined, focused and security minded, Capricorn is the taskmaster of the zodiac. Somewhat stern and sad, Capricorn finds his long hard road to the top a struggle that often leaves him feeling alone. All this practicality and sense of purpose is slightly offset by your grand sense of humor.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn the planet of restriction, obstacles, responsibility, limitation and discipline. Your self-sufficiency distances you from others as you may appear cold. Underneath, though, you are a compassionate, sensitive, sympathetic person. The quintessential strong silent type, Capricorn works hard and reaps the rewards.
