Natives born under the cardinal earth sign of Capricorn the goat, ruled by the planet Saturn, are practical, efficient, persistent and patient.
There are two types of Capricorn individuals, one is ambitious and will work hard in a disciplined manner for whatever they want.
These individuals are cautious, and any risks taken are calculated to ensure a steady, sure footed climb higher and higher like the mountain goat, until they reach the top in whatever activity they pursue.
The other type of Capricorn individual is happy to spend their life in a more limited sphere, like the fenced in domestic goat, concentrating on providing for their family through practical sensible work in order to sustain a living.
Capricorns tend to be serious and will accept responsibilities. They can do well in big business, politics, building and construction or education.
