Capricorn – The tenth astrological sign of the zodiac
Capricorn - the goat. The tenth astrological sign of the zodiac
Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac. It gets it’s name from the constellation Capricornus, but due to the precession of the equinoxes it’s no longer in alignment with it. Capricorn is ruled by the Sun. If your birthday falls between December 21 and January 20, your astrological sign is Capricorn.
Capricorn is a feminine / introverted or negative sign. This implies a sense of caution and a more reserved facet of the Capricorn’s life. They also tend to be sensitive and somewhat distant.
It’s also an Earth sign, which means that it’s associated with a realistic and practical approach to things, while maintaining a strong sense of stability within their lives.
As one of the four cardinal signs, Capricorn signals a change. This change takes the form of autumn to winter in the northern hemisphere, and spring to summer in the southern hemisphere.
In Greek mythology, Capricorn was thought to be the goat that provided milk or ambrosia to Zeus when he was a baby. To show his gratitude, Zeus placed the goat in the sky which became the constellation Capricornus.
People that are born under the Capricorn sign tend to be very practical and hard working individuals. Ambition and persistence are a couple of their hallmark traits. They’re rational, disciplined, and career driven individuals that take a very serious, yet somewhat overly focused approach to their careers. They tend to be in positions of authority, where responsibility and strength is a requirement. It’s best to not stand in the way of a Capricorn and their goals since they’re very competent at what they choose to do.
Some typical career choices for the Capricorn include anything that involves a position of authority. Or anything that requires a methodical approach to things. Lawyers, government officials, managers, politicians, engineers, doctors, and teachers are a few great matches for a Capricorn.
Some famous Capricorns include Howard Hughes, Anwar Sadat, Mao Tse Tung, Louis Pasteur, J. Edgar Hoover, Barry Goldwater, J.R.R. Tolkein, Walter Mondale, Elvis Presley, Richard Nixon, Muhammad Ali, and Dolly Parton to name a few.
