Being the tenth sign of the zodiac, this sign is all about hard work. Those born within the dates 21st December and 19th January belong to this astrological category.



The natives of this sign are quite ambitious and more than readily put in extra hours at the workplace to get to the top. They are extremely dedicated to their goals along with being immensely practical and realistic to the core.

The mascot of the Capricorns is the ‘Goat’ which showcases their want to reach the top of their field just like the animal loves to climb to the top of mountains.

They are industrious, organized and even egoistical on their way to the top. They are ruled by the planet Saturn who was also considered to be the father of many Gods in ancient Roman mythology. Just like him, those born under this sign prefer leadership and aim to be the top dog.

Earth being their element, they are unsurprisingly very down to earth beings and would rather stay put and work than going around the world. They are reserved and traditional beings. The Sumero-Babylonian name of this zodiac is “The Goat-Fish”.

    The Capricorn man in a relationship-

A Capricorn man yearns to be with a person he can count on. He prefers a stable relationship without much drama and conflicts. He wants his partner to be loyal and honest to him. When he first falls in love, he will behave strange but with time he will get settled down with his partner. He prefers to stay in the same relationship for a very long time and sometimes even forever. He is one of the most emotional, stable and stubborn sun signs in the zodiac and doesn’t take anything lightly. He is not an easy person to be with and requires a lot of efforts to adjust with a non-compromising and inflexible person as him. But once he falls for someone, there is not a thing in the whole world that he wouldn’t do for his partner. In general, he fears a guilty conscience and is not likely to hurt or cheat anyone intentionally.
