What are Capricorns like?
Along with Taurus and Virgo, Capricorn is an “earth sign”, which makes Capricorns practical and strong.
They can also be ambitious, driven, persistent, self-reliant, and as stubborn as, well, goats.
Capricorns tend to be self-reflective and integrity is important to them.
Add this to their cool-headed, pragmatic nature and you have someone who’s wise and great at giving advice.
All this can make Capricorns a little serious, but they’re known to let loose around their close friends.
And when it comes to friendship, Capricorns are thought to be loyal and supportive, so you’ll want them on your side if you’re ever in a tight corner.
