Capricorn Weakness Keywords:

dictatorial

conceited

distrusting

Capricorn and Independence:

Capricorns are very independent because they know their capabilities and therefore

they rarely trust others to finish details, they like to do it all themselves. Capricorn is

the longer of all zodiac signs.

Capricorn and Friendship:

The Capricorn is the strong friend, they will always be there to help, they are very

sympathetic, caring and helpful to a friend in need. A Capricorn will get someone

back on their feet again with a steady plan for success and for all this, they expect

nothing in return. The Capricorn friend is deep and mysterious and full of intrigue,

there always seems to be something going on in their mind.

Capricorn and Business:

The Capricorn personality is geared towards that of leadership and achievement, they

always want to climb the corporate ladder and be the best they can be. Capricorns

have excellent sense of time and manage it very well, they are excellent organizers.

Capricorns are very creative, not spontaneously creative but it is incorporated into

their time management skills and their ideas for executing a plan. Capricorns make

good, wise investments because they look at the long term and what will be the most

beneficial down the road.

Capricorn and Temperament:

Capricorns might seem melancholy and stern because they live by self-discipline and

responsibility. They evaluate everything and they don't take daring chances without

weighing the advantages and disadvantages first. To the onlooker, they might seem

boring but it is the serious drive and structured way of life that the Capricorn feels

safe with. Capricorn's self-sufficiency is often mistook for coldness, they are not as

cold as they seem, this might be apparent just because Capricorns like to do

everything themselves this way there is no worry about something not finished or not

done properly. It is all about control of their surroundings and their daily lives and

sometimes this spills into other people's lives. They believe they can give structure

and organize other people's lives too, which they can but others might see this as

intrusive and not welcome the Capricorn's suggested changes. According to

Capricorn, there is only a right way and a wrong way to do things and this idea makes

some Capricorns closed minded, stubborn and reluctant to agree with others. This is

an ongoing lesson for Capricorns, knowing that there is more then one way of doing

things and even though their way is usually right, it does not mean that they have to

impose their ways on others.

Capricorn Deep Inside:

Capricorns have this sense of melancholy and necessity for structure and work

because inside they feel they are unworthy and need to continuously prove their

worth. Once they realize that all they need is self-love, door will open and they will

see the world in a new light, one that allows for pleasure and guilt-free fun.

Capricorns most important need is security, financial and material security. This is the

driving force behind their ambitious character and all other personality traits of desire

to succeed. They are very concerned with their public standing and their prestige.

Capricorns are loners but they also need to feel appreciated, but they are excellent at

hiding this truth. Capricorns are very self contained and they have many faces they

present to the world, they are known as aloof and indifferent but this is them

concealing themselves from the world, unfortunately, they may never know who they

really are. This causes feelings of insecurity and causes them to question their own

self worth. Capricorns make it difficult to get close emotionally because once they let

someone in, they do not want to let them go and emotional connection makes them

feel vulnerable yet satisfied at he same time. This is an ongoing internal conflict of

contradictions inside the Capricorn's mind.

Capricorn in a Nutshell:

Capricorns are very ambitious people, they always have something they are pursuing

and they want their lives to be fulfilled and important. Capricorns are extremely

patient and will wait a long time for something they want, when the opportunity

arises, they will plan their steps carefully to others, they might appear hesitant but this

is not true, they know that there is only one chance to succeed and they are filing

together their information to take the proper steps to accomplish their goal with flying

colors, not just second rate. Capricorns have a very active mind and strong powers of

concentration. Capricorns like being in control of their surroundings and everyone in

their life. Capricorns are very cautious but this only to survey the situation before

leaping in, they will never make a hasty jump in. They accept change but introduce it

slowly so they can get used to it and incorporate it into their life. Capricorns tend to

see life in black or white, definitive's only. There are no gray areas for these are areas

that are not understood and this makes Capricorn feel uncomfortable. They tend to be

in control in a romantic relationship that way they are never vulnerable to another

person.
