It is a difficult job to understand the character of a Capricorn. It takes patience and some experience to learn to recognize this sun sign. Look at the snoozing spider in the corner. Can it measure up to the swift-winged insects? But here they are caught in the invisible threads of his web and… the spider wins. Remember Aesop's Fable? There, the clumsy tortoise slowly but purposefully makes his way to the finish and finally wins, while the haughty and self-confident rabbit, convinced of his capabilities, snoozes under a tree.

See how the goat climbs the chukars.

It seems that there is no chance for him to escape from the snare of the clever and all-powerful people who are after him. But here the hunters fall behind, and the strong goat stubbornly overcomes bair after bair and finally manages to escape. Now look at a Capricorn. Wondering where to find it? Look for him wherever he has the opportunity to develop and improve himself. Wherever he can advance and fulfill his secret ambitions. Look around while you are visiting or at a reception. Keep your eyes on the frivolous revelers. The goat we are looking for is not only a rock climber but also a social ladder climber.

Therefore, I recommend that you go to a diverse company of more wealthy and influential people. You can also try among people of more limited means and opportunities, but the further down you go, the less likely you are to meet a representative of this sun sign. The person we're looking for is unlikely to dance alone on the dance floor, pretend to be a jerk and draw attention to himself. On the contrary, he will stand on the sidelines and absorb everything that is happening with shining eyes, without intruding. At first, you will hardly notice him, because he meekly and silently follows with his eyes the bright, assertive, charming, brilliant, extravagant and aggressive personalities circulating around him. Some of these personalities are just pretending, others are fearful, but all have impeccable manners. Compared to them, Capricorn seems to be in a very unenviable position. But don't doubt that he will still win.

Some time ago I visited a famous New York astrologer in his own bookstore.

Showering him with wisdom and unsolicited advice about the books he should get, I argued with him about astrological topics and learned that his zodiac sign was Capricorn. He found out that I am an Aries. I guessed his ascendant with unconcealed pleasure, talked and gestured excitedly, and generally felt like I was on a stage. Then he sent me off with a kind smile, and at parting said something strange in his interesting Hungarian accent: "The Goat always stands above the Aries."

His words sounded casual and I looked at him in surprise, but he was completely serious. As I walked away, I thought condescendingly, “What self-confidence! Who can beat a double Aries?” And do you know what happened from that day forward? If I can't find a book long gone from bookstores, my Capricorn finds it. Gradually I found myself forced to respectfully acknowledge his superiority. And now I see in this zodiac sign qualities that I lack and for which I envy him. Did you see? Capricorn won.

I'll admit one more thing.

As a typical Aries, he does not tolerate other people's advice and guidance. And there is no Aries writer at all who would accept interference in his works. That's why when I was offered a Capricorn woman as an editor, I was furious. Out loud I said I didn't mind, but inwardly I decided I wasn't going to let her change a single line of my genius bordering on perfection. I was only thinking of pretending to agree with her. But she began to present her remarks timidly and meekly, and I reluctantly had to admit how apt and accurate they were. I cursed myself in my head for not having thought to replace that word with another or to cross out that phrase. After following all of her recommendations verbatim, my book became decidedly better. Capricorn won again. Finally, my aggressive sheep brain realized that it was completely pointless to fight the Goats. My advice is to do the same.

As we have already said, the Goat is difficult to recognize, since it does not intrude and instinctively hides somewhere further back in the company. Even less will you tell him apart by his physical marks. You can find all kinds of Capricorns - strong and stocky, lean and wiry or clumsy and plump. In any case, however, you will not leave the feeling that the given individual weighs in place.

Melancholy and seriousness invariably accompany personalities ruled by Saturn. Along with them go strict discipline and self-denial.

Most Capricorns prefer comfortable, not necessarily elegant shoes. They are dexterous with their hands, and in their voice - even and calm, you will perceive a kindness that both flatters and convinces. This is typical for Capricorns - supposedly they caress you with a feather, but in reality they touch you with an iron glove. They are tireless workers and stubbornly swallow insults, disappointments and unpleasant duties with the same concentration with which a goat calmly chews on rusty fence wire, glass shards from broken bottles or discarded cardboard boxes. And they, like her, have good digestion and sharp horns. While cheerful extroverts waste their energy on whatever, Capricorn won't budge an inch to the side. He climbs the precipice with a dogged faith in the safety of the beaten path, scornfully avoiding the tempting scenic paths along which you can easily slip into the precipice.

Capricorns have as an example those who before them walked the path to the top and established the rules of this ascent.

For them, authority and tradition stand above everything. Many of the more impulsive and energetic people perceive them as dry and limited. For their part, Capricorns could judge their critics as hasty and stupid. But in most cases they are wise and prudent enough to create enemies with such self-defense. Sons and daughters of Saturn generally tend to accept other people's assessments and learn from them. Or maybe they're just pretending to be.

Capricorn's tactic is to let others pass before him and, against all logic, reach the finish line first.

He has a flair for dangerous obstacles and underwater rocks and rarely steps wrong. He is not looking at the stars, but stands firmly on his feet and looks straight ahead. Jealousy, passion, anger, impulsiveness, laziness, frivolity - these are all obstacles. However, they are for others, not for Capricorn. He will look back for a moment at those who have failed, give thanks for advice or assistance, and continue his steady march upward toward the goal until he reaches it. Some Capricorns are delightfully romantic – they are enamored by the moon's reflections or the lovely colors of butterflies.

But facts and reality will always prevail over feelings.

This is especially true of the typical representatives of Saturn. If the Capricorn gives free rein to his imagination in the creation of a beautiful poem, then the subject will necessarily be serious, and the punctuation - without error. The main idea will be expressed clearly and simply, without exaggeration. If you want to earn Capricorn's respect, don't declare yourself against conventions in life. He tries to always follow what is accepted in society. Public scandals and primitive passions disturb and confuse him. Sometimes there are Capricorns who hardly hide their ambitions and refuse to work if they are not accepted as leaders from the first moment. Such people become scapegoats who hold and insist on starting at the highest rung of the hierarchy because they believe it is their calling. They remain gloomy, pessimistic, cold and selfish and hard to please. But after getting scalded once or twice, they quickly get on the right track.

Like the Chinese, young Capricorns treat their ancestors and older people with reverence and respect, the wisdom and experience of years.

When they reach adulthood, and the venerable elders in the family have already passed away, the conservative Goats are frightened and embarrassed by the debauchery of the younger generation. They shake their heads and mumble, clucking their tongues, constantly comparing how it was in their day. However, most of them quickly adapt to the new circumstances. There are two types of adult Capricorns - one is forever sour and dissatisfied with something, the other enjoys life and without thinking about it embarks on reckless youthful antics. There are also those who, from a middle position, look on smiling, hiding their excitement, and tap their feet in time with the music.

You will rarely see a Capricorn gossip or poke their nose into other people's affairs.

He doesn't tend to give life advice without being asked, but if you ask for help, he wouldn't hesitate to give you a hand. Capricorn is used to dealing with obligations and difficulties and swallows failures relatively easily. So if you don't heed his advice, he's unlikely to waste his time mentoring you or sympathizing with you much. You must have read somewhere that Capricorns marry for money and social status.

This is greatly exaggerated, although it is to Capricorn that the following statement belongs: "To fall in love with the conductor and flirt with the second fiddle is equally easy." The practical nature of the Goat does not allow him to enter into a deal or conclude a marriage without being prepared for the first financially, and for the second - psychologically. These people often act strangely in the name of security. They never forget the elders in the family and like to visit uncles and aunts.

The goat never waits for the bird of fortune to land twice on its shoulder.

He will catch it the very first time, having prepared for it for a long time. As children, Capricorns are weaker and get sick more often than their peers, but over time, their health and immunity to disease strengthens. The sober and moderate nature of Goats suggests their amazing endurance. These people have such powers of resistance and ability to survive that they often exceed a hundred years. If it weren't for fear, uncertainty, worries and dark feelings, Capricorns could even live without doctors and hospitals. However, pessimism is more dangerous than the deadliest virus. Therefore, if people born under the sign of Saturn wish to avoid getting sick, they need more outdoor sports and strive to build a more positive and open character. Fresh air in nature would do wonders for them and their health.

Generally speaking, Capricorns possess remarkable vitality as long as they manage to avoid illnesses caused by depression or pessimism.

However, it is not much luck to outlive the eagles if you suffer from arthritis, lumbago or rheumatism, for example. To be healthy, Capricorn must seek the sun's rays, the cool forest air and not be afraid of the rain. People of this sign seem shy and kind, and even if they sometimes show stubbornness, they are rarely stubborn. They are ideal if you are looking for someone you can trust and rely on - they know how to get under your skin. You would hardly suspect them of ambition. And they actually use your weaknesses and your foolish arrogance all the time to impose themselves. They are so useful (at times even indispensable) that you yourself offer them to take the reins. And then they arrange themselves secretly, behind the scenes and pull the strings of power.

Capricorn neglects its own self in the name of what it really desires - the role of a true leader.

Carefully and wisely, with a firm hand, he does not allow the past to be forgotten, prevents misunderstandings in the present and builds a bright and secure future. He need not stand at the head of the troops with fanfare and drums. The important thing is that he sets the pace and the route. The daring acrobatic tricks of the circus trapeze are unthinkable without Capricorn's strong and secure net, in case the acrobats fall.

The serious and formal black and navy blue, the brown signifying practicality and the dark green, the color of reasonable dreams – these are the colors of his not particularly variable palette. Make your way slowly through its silent forest, carpeted with velvety moss and fragrant flowers, and search for the eight hidden treasures of Saturn. Beautiful bright red rubies are buried under the weeping willow of Capricorn. Stay a little longer and you will appreciate the deep beauty of dark matte onyx. Capricorn's lead is hard, and its coals keep the fire going for a long time.
