One of the tremendous traits of this bunch is their superb sense of humor and wit. And they really do act the goat, making you laugh until your sides split.

This is a sign that believes in experience with a capital "E" and then seems to do a lot of learning through it. Many of them will have had cramped childhoods and terrible twenties but they'll have terrific thirties, fantastic forties and naughty nineties for sure!

Capricorns are cardinal, making them astoundingly ambitious, and even the domestic ones will be determined to do well. Capricorns need security and anything with a past, because then, they can feel safe. Capricorns are conservative and cautious and are extremely suspicious of new things, until they get used to them.

They're also very wary of overindulging in money though more positive goats would call themselves careful, only spending a lot when they can truly afford to! Guilt is a very goaty thing, and some Capricorns thrive on it. They can set themselves impossibly high ideals and goals and then loathe themselves when they fail to reach them because they simply abhor failure.

They are so deeply determined and disciplined, they often drive themselves to reach heights others only dream of. Love isn't a splendorous thing to Capricorns. Its not an easy emotion for them to feel. Some of them are more at home with ambition than amour. That's probably because they perceive it as being more safer, and very often they erect obstacles between themselves and the objects of their affections.

The trouble is that they are absolutely terrified by rejection and will do anything to stay far away from it though, the irony is that they make perfect pals, and are loyal, level-headed and a lot of fun. They are supportive and sensible and can be real pillars of strength. A Capricorn chum will stand by you through thick and thin.

In their professional lives, the one thing that makes their heart beat extra-fast, is work! They love it and because this is the sign of status and public recognition, they love jobs in which they can rise to great heights and if not, they will tend to make sure it's a company of great repute and pay's good! They can be such workaholics that they feel guilty if they spend ten minutes in front of the telly, although they enjoy being home, its really where they are happy.

Their homes are almost always comfy, cosy, tasteful and traditional, without doubt, the goat will spend most of his time in the study where he / she can get buried in work. Relaxing for them means reading, sipping on some favorite wine, listing to soft music or even just sitting in silence enjoying the solitude.

Goats also enjoy creating things. They'll love tapestry and candle-making will be really glad if he / she can sell them later at a profit.

Health-wise they tend to exaggerate and can be major hypochondriacs, always moaning and groaning. They could however, suffer from arthritis.

To sum it all up, there are there golden rules that you must follow with these goats. No matter what, punctuality is a must. They hate to waste even a minute. Secondly, offer to pay when you are out for a meal and lastly, make them laugh. Do all this and you'll be well on the way to success with them.

DO'S:
Capricornians are strong and dependable. Hence, if you want to put your money on anyone it is of course this zodiac sign. They are practical and conservative in their outlook and they expect you to blend in their colour. They set certain standards for themselves in their life and they will always try to maintain those standards. For them social status and image is very important in life.

DON'TS:
Do not expect a Capricorn mate to open his/her heart and pour everything to you. They are very secretive and reserved people. They are very thorough in all their affairs and hate any kind of sloppiness. People born under this zodiac are very tight-fisted and economical. Do not expect lavish gifts from them and if they do give you any gift (that is very rare) it will have some practical use (no romance please) but that does not mean you will be deprived of anything; on the contrary you will be well provided.
