Capricorn Description | Rashi Characteristics, Personality, Description, Nature, Traits | Indian Astrology

People born under the Zodiac Sign Capricorn (Makar), the tenth sign in the Zodiac calender, are represented by the mountain Goat. They are ruled by the planet Saturn, which makes them serious disciplinarians – hard working, dedicated and loyal. The Capricorn individuals make their way to the top in whatever sphere of activity they choose for themselves, with utmost caution and a steadfast approach. They are traditional and conformists by nature.

People of this Zodiac Sign are modest, solid people who are cautious about their approach. They tend to see hard work as the only way to progress and prosper, and dislike any short-cuts. Considered as cold and snobbish, they in fact need tender, thoughtful nurturers, if their affectionate and caring side is to be revealed. Given to their work and ambition, the Capricorn individuals will happily slog the day off at office with an aim to reach the top. Their determination and sense of responsibility are beautiful, and they possess a knack to crack the toughest of the deals. Practical, meticulous and realistically pragmatic, the Goats are extremely dedicated to their goals, almost to the point of being stubborn. They like to reap the benefits of success – fame, prestige and money – and might ruffle a few feathers along the way.

Diligent, conscientious, ambitious, tolerant, patient, and confident, Capricorn individuals seldom allow any sort of permissiveness, which makes them most reliable people to work with. They endure all hardships with discipline and are self-contained and path-finders. With a superior sense of duty, selflessness and devotion, they are admired for tenacity of purpose and will. Often this gives into them being moody and fairly self-destructive too, but they are also called the sage later in life for their experiences in life.

Ruled by the spiritual Saturn, they set high standards for themselves and guard their private space zealously. It is this quest for privacy, which at times result in difference in their private and public behaviour.

Capricorn individuals make shrewd business people and unlikely to take any rash decisions. Ambitious as they are, they will ensure that their better halves climb the ladder, even if they are not much up to competitions and will work at their own pace and deliver the best they can. Academics, industry, agriculture, antiques is where they deal favourably, though the money accrued is always hard earned.


Being one of the most stable Signs in the Zodiac, the Capricorn offer security, comfort and everlasting support to their partners. They are most dependable individuals, and their attention to detail can make the person of the opposite sex feel wanted and desired. Capricorn-Taurus, Capricorn-Scorpio and Capricorn-Virgo make very good life partners.
