The Capricorn may look super cool on the outside, but on the inside he is gripped by a passion and that’s called ambition. Persistently, yet without too much grumbling, he keeps on heading for the lofty heights of success and nothing would satisfy him more than gaining a position in life that would give him social recognition. But he’s not the type to get to the top through bribery or knowing the right people.
No, Capricorns have got much too much integrity. They want to go through life on their own merit and with their specialist know-how and persistence they are able to pass by any competitors without them even noticing!
They don’t choose to make a big fuss, but prefer to operate in a more level-headed manner channelling some kind of inner strength and calmness, which enables him to progress further than others in the long run. The Capricorn never forces himself on anyone, nor is he in it for the razzle-dazzle, because he prefers anything that’s down-to-earth and has an extremely modest attitude.
The others can be zany if they want to be and carry on impressing others day after day, because he lives according to the principle "Peace lies in strength". He’s no storyteller or dazzler who you don’t see for dust when things start getting tough.
No, on the contrary, the Capricorn in a shining example of showing a sense of responsibility and so there are really no better people to provide you with advice if you seem to be in a completely hopeless or unclear situation or are right in the middle of an acute crisis.
Capricorns will give you sensible and sound tips that will really help you come back to reality. And even if they are not the most passionate comforters, who bandy soothing words about them, they are a real rock for the people who put their trust in them or seek their sanctuary and even stand by them after the last friend has stolen away.
One of their main character traits has to be endurance, which they impressively put to the test in all situations in life. In critical times when everyone else is just buzzing around and nearly having a nervous breakdown, Capricorns stay cool and take over as if they are planning a military operation until order has been regained again.
Make sure not to swamp Capricorns with sentimentalism, because only the hard facts count for them! And the best way to get them to listen to you is by producing logical arguments – that way you'll soon have their undivided attention.
But anyone who thinks that a Capricorn is just a mechanical robot with no feelings in a human body is completely barking up the wrong tree. They are definitely able to experience deep emotions, but they just don't like showing them as much as other star signs.
You might hardly believe it, but deep inside the Capricorn there's an extremely soft-hearted soul that has to be protected from pain and that's why most Capricorns build a massive wall around themselves. No matter how much stability there is, the self-confident exterior of a Capricorn isn't as strong as they make out and they quickly doubt themselves and worry about receiving little or even no recognition from the people around them.
In moments like this they tend to withdraw to quiet remote places to wallow in melancholy with the sadness of the world on their shoulders. It would do them extremely good not to take everything going on around them so seriously, but they are just not able to be at ease and take a light-hearted view of life, because this would then collide with their strong sense of duty.
When a Capricorn can be persuaded to enjoy his spare time then he won’t just choose any pastime, but go hiking up a mountain where he can only enjoy relaxing without any pangs of guilt after he's finally reached the summit and is then able to look down on the path he’s already covered leading back towards the valley with deepest satisfaction.
