Capricorn the Goat represents the tenth sign of Zodiac.

It is often shown with a fish’s tail, and is sometimes referred to as “The Sea Goat” or “The Goat Fish”.

Saturn is the ruling planet of this earth sign, and people born under this sign are considered to be the most opinionated and self-centred of all the Zodiac signs… they are always right!

Typical Capricorns have good organizational skills and are very neat and tidy, self disciplined, responsible and practical.

A Capricorn can seem to be sombre and reserved in dealings with others, but once you gain their trust they are very loyal and true friends.

Ambition is one of their strong traits and they will put this ahead of personal relationships, which can be abandoned if necessary.

They will plan very carefully to achieve their ambitions, which often include becoming wealthy.

A Capricorn will be economical without meanness and can often achieve results with minimum effort and expense. Also, they can suffer extreme mood swings alternating between ecstatic happiness and utter misery.

Other traits are they can be very witty and subtle and then ruin things with irresponsible bouts of flippancy, thus deserving the adjective based on their name – capricious.

Personal note: The new year is going to be a very lucky one for Capricorns, and you will enter a time of intense personal power. In January, listen to what a partner is saying in the early part of the month, even though it may seem overly emotional, just don’t ignore it.

A big financial opportunity could come your way mid month but be very sure to read all the fine print.

Travel also figures highly for business as well as pleasure, and January will prove to be a month in which you can be influential in a quiet way.

Famous Capricorns include: Nostradamus, December 24; Annie Lennox, December 25; Mao Tse Tung, December 26; Marlene Dietrich, December 27; Anthony Hopkins, December 31; J. Edgar Hoover, January 1; Mel Gibson, January 3; Diane Keaton, January 5; Elvis Presley, January 8; Joan of Arc, January 14; Aristotle Onassis, January 15; Mohammed Ali, January 17; Dolly Parton, January 19.

Pet Horoscopes

Dogs: Capricorn dogs are very intelligent and can start to be trained as soon as they are weaned. This sign favours breeds which can withstand cold climates such as Saint Bernards and Huskies. They are hard working, but very slow, so taking a Capricorn dog for a walk is not a very energetic affair. If you have something they want they will be your best friend.

Cats: Capricorn cats are very selfish. They will eat your food and treats then walk away as if you don’t exist. For some reason, Capricorn kittens are often abandoned when very young, but when they are lucky enough to find a home they worm their way into your affections and end up sleeping on the bed.
