Capricorn: the most important characteristics at a glance

Capricorns have a strong will to screen for every partner: these are some of the more common assumptions about your sign. But what about the real thing? Time for a basic lesson in astrology.

Capricorn characteristics - 'Setting goals is my comfort zone'.

22 December - 20 January

Capricorns are loyal, goal-oriented and optimistic. They always strive for better and more, without selfishness. They are also serious and stable and no zodiac sign can be trusted as much as a Capricorn. They work hard and take responsibility for their actions. In short, they are the ideal colleague, if you can see through their being anything but aloof.

Youth

Capricorn children have a strong will from an early age, which they make known loudly and clearly - literally. Squealing turns into talking loudly when they are able to do so. They also have a need for regularity and punish their parents for a lack of it. Fortunately, Capricorns do become sweeter and less ruthless with age. They make friends quickly, but do get jealous when others get more attention or are favoured.

Love and sex

Capricorns never lose sight of their goals in love. Love at first sight does not exist for this sign, as a potential partner must first be screened - does he or she meet the Capricorn's goals? Capricorn also remains faithful to his or her career, as well as to love. A sympathetic ear is therefore crucial to Capricorn.

Taurus goes best with Capricorn. Between these two, passion can run high in bed, which keeps the love alive for a long time. They like to skip the foreplay and quickly move on to the deed. Virgo's relationship looks different, but that is not necessarily a bad sign. On the financial front, they get along better than all the other constellation combinations put together. Capricorns often need time for themselves. So if they go for each other, many psychologists recommend separate bedrooms to keep things more exciting in the long run.

Dealing with

Capricorns are headstrong and need time for themselves - both in and out of a relationship. An evening alone on the sofa is music to Capricorns' ears, as long as it is interspersed with social activities. If you have a Capricorn as a partner or an ordinary friend, give him or her some space. The fact that he or she prefers to spend time with him or herself rather than go to the pub with you says nothing about the status of your friendship.
