Capricorn Character

Accomplishment

Traditions that dignify life are important to you for above all, you seek respect from your family, your peers and all who know you. Your rise in life occurs from hard work and applying yourself steadfastily towards goals you set, for you are not a slacker.

You tend to be fearful of new experiences, liking old staid yet protected feelings of staying with what is familiar to you. Yet, you believe in advancement in life, and will go out of your way to achieve, often accepting difficult challenges that others would shy away from.

Protectiveness

You believe in the value of time and how to use it wisely. In this respect you are frugal with your energies and focused in what you put your mind into. To others you appear to be an under-reactor to life's emotional circumstances, yet this comes from your father-like protective feelings towards those you love and your efforts to assure them of being safe in your presence.

Lineage

History, geneology and lineage all play an important role in your life. Conventional wisdom is your master and one of the greatest influencers on your life comes from your relationship with your father, for he has set ways that will leave a lasting impact on you for many years to come.

Relationships
