The Goat



Capricorn, symbolized by the Goat, is a Cardinal Earth sign. Like the goat, Capricorns want to climb to the top of the mountain. Ruled by Saturn, they are ambitious, determined, persistent and willing to do the hard work necessary to achieve their goals. Career is important. Underlying their determination to succeed is a desire for recognition, status, and prestige. Capricorns are responsible, conscientious, efficient, organized. They can be domineering, bossy and unforgiving of those who are not as diligent as they are. Consistent with their Earth energy, they are practical, sensible, down-to-earth, dependable and conservative. Capricorn is also cautious and somewhat inhibited.
