More about you
Capricorn is one of the most stable and serious of the zodiacal types. These independent, rocklike characters have many sterling qualities. They are normally confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking, unemotional, shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and cautious to the extreme persons, are capable of persisting for as long as is necessary to accomplish a goal they have set for themselves. They are reliable workers in almost any profession they undertake. They are the major finishers of most projects started by the 'pioneering' signs.
They have a great respect for authority but may not, if they reach high rank, be willing to listen to other opinions on things they are directly responsible for. As the ranking authority figure in a given situation they expect their underlings to be as self disciplined as they themselves are, and to perform every task undertaken to the highest standard. They are, nevertheless, fair as well as demanding. Among their equals they are not always the most pleasant of work fellows for they are reserved and too conservative, valuing tradition more than innovation and they are often humorless. There is also a tendency to pessimism, melancholy and even unhappiness which many Capricornians are unable to keep to themselves, especially if they fail personally. They can be surprisingly and suddenly witty and subtle for the quiet, reserved individuals they seem to be, and they also have a tendency to ruin things by unexpected and utterly irresponsible bouts of flippancy. In certain individuals in whom the characteristic is strong, the temptation to do this has to be resisted with iron self-control. Another unexpected quality in some Capricornians is an interest in the occult.
Their intellects are sometimes very subtle. They think profoundly and deeply, throughly exploring all possibilities before deciding on a 'safe' alternative. They have good memories and an insatiable yet methodical desire for knowledge. They are rational, logical and clearheaded, have good concentration, delight in debate .
In their personal relationships they are often ill-at-ease, if not downright unhappy. They are somewhat self-centered but not excessively so, preferring not to meddle with others, thus they tend to attract people who do not understand them. Casual acquaintances they will treat with diplomacy, tact . They make few good friends but are intensely loyal to those they do make, and they can become bitter, and powerful enemies. They sometimes dislike the opposite sex and test the waters of affection gingerly before judging the temperature right for marriage. Once married, however, they are faithful, though inclined to jealousy. Most Capricornians marry for life.
Personality:
You are prudent, cautious and hard-working. You are active and vigorous, and, at the same time, plodding. You are serious in disposition, and humility is one of your chief characteristics. You are endowed with a spirit of service, and have a strong sense of duty. You have initiative that brings you success. You are practical and economical in spending. You are loyal and conscientious in your work. Your practical nature, at times, gives the impression that you lack warmth. But actually, you are loving and devoted. You will meet opposition from persons occupying high or low ranks, but will, ultimately, surmount all obstacles. You will have powerful patronage of a very high personage, particularly, if you are in the armed forces. In service, you will give satisfaction to your superior. You often rise high in politics too.
Business and Finances: Generally, you are ‘self-made’. You are versatile and shrewd in business. You earn money on your own and not due to any windfall, legacy or inheritance. Money also comes to you late in life, after the 42nd year of age.
Your Hobbies:
Your hobbies vary from listening to music, especially the old songs, to collecting clocks and watches, books, lamp shades, vintage wines and vintage furniture, playing with investments, gardening, walking in the mountains, skiing, and taking holidays abroad. Collecting unusual pieces of furniture or ornaments also appeals to you as does mastering the latest computer software and working out in the gym. Generally, while you enjoy your hobbies, you don’t often like talking about them unless asked.
Moods:
While a 'cocky' mood generally boosts your productivity it also brings a certain amount of trouble in its wake. It's when you're somewhat unsure of yourself that your ultimate productivity levels reach new levels of excellence. And when you're in a confident mood, when you're sure of yourself-- guess? You become a trend-setter, reeling off one productive idea after another : you become a leader in your own right, a leader who's willing to put every little idea of productivity under public scrutiny. It's when you're in a mood, where you're trying to level scores with others that your productivity tends to enter a trough.
Avoid taking decisions when: Your moods tend to swing between highs and lows..
Your Drink:
Most of you have highly developed tastes when it comes to drinks, and generally, the tastes develop early. While many of you are great beer fans, an equal number enjoy hard drinks in the manner of a connoisseur and your tastes are regal more often than not. Curiously, you hold drinks well and even though your speech may slur your thinking processes tend to remain remarkably clear. Soft drinks are fine, but come way down the scale for most of you.
To tipple the scales in your favour: The afternoon hours would strengthen your hands business wise, while the evening hours would enhance your social standing.
Fabrics:
Cottons, especially those in thin stripes or checks are for you, as are the lighter silks. While the `tere's' in general will be beneficial, polyester's are out for you, even in blended form. Black, maroon, and blue in all it's shades in your choice of fabrics will be the colours which will influence the outcomes for you and often enable you to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat as it were. Chinons will emphasise the softer side of your nature and cast a protective aura around you. Wearing fabrics which have undergone a process of resist-printing would give you an edge in negotiations, as would those which have been through an indigo process.
A special tip: For romance, black and maroon fabrics will give you a clear advantage, especially if they're non-silk
Furniture:
Sleek, elegant furniture would go down well with you. Lots of shelves and large tables with comfortable executive chairs would be your working choices. But within the home, `extras' around the home would tend to rankle and you'll want them out of the way. `Quietly stylish' would be your preference for most furniture. Usually, you'd much rather leave the final choice to other people at home. Many of you tend to get `attached' to certain pieces of furniture such as a favourite chair or a favourite table. Furniture with inlay work would appeal to you upto a point. As a rule, your taste in furniture tends to be the most `sober' out of all the zodiac signs.
A tip that won't give you regrets : Sagwan and teak wood furniture would be lucky for you.
Accessories:
Quiet and sober appear to be the qualities which your accessories must have, along, of course, with class. And it's these `quiet' choices of yours which will attract the eye because they're often so different from what most people would choose. Your hand bag for example, is likely to be the kind that's immediately associated with you. And shoes and chappals - yes, you tend to be very particular about them. They're usually a certain cut and a certain colour. If you're a male, a scarf would go well with you and certainly bring you glances from the opposite sex.
A special tip:
Except in the case of scarves and ties, the light colours would be preferable.
Safety:
Sure-footed like your symbol, the goat, you are, in many ways, the safest amongst the signs. Your very `earthiness' is a major protective factor. Your life generally takes a course in which, even when you're at a strange place, you're amongst familiar people in `reputed' surroundings. Besides your approach to most things is so rational and cut and dried, that you subconsciously gravitate towards situations where the risks are minimal. Unpleasant situations riddled with safety loopholes are not for you. Getting caught off guard will happen rarely, if at all. And if it does, you'd prefer to cut your losses than be pointlessly valiant and come to harm.
Your safety rating on a scale of ten: 9
