Cardinal signs imply action, initiative, determination and a desire to succeed. A dislike of close discipline. Earth signs imply practicality, reliability and personal stability. They are thorough and careful, and not given to extravagant behavior. They can be fussy and selfish at times. The Feminine association is one of receptiveness, introspection and non-assertion. Appearing weak or fearful, although appearances can be deceiving.

Interpretation of the natal chart can be thought of in terms of three major facets of the individual. How you appear to others, your innermost desires and aspirations, and what you are really like. The characteristics associated with your Sun sign, Capricorn, are not absolutes and should be seen only as likely dispositions.

Capricorns are tied to the earth and what it offers. Not given to daydreams, concerned with the practical, the achievable and the here and now. Perhaps this is due to the innate need for security that characterizes the Capricornian personality, rather than avarice. At best, you are reliable and dependable. You tend to be disciplined and determined, with a well-developed and dry sense of humor. At your worst you are an inflexible pessimist and overly conventional. You can be mean and miserly. Ambition figures prominently in the nature of a Capricorn. Both in the business and social sense, those of the tenth sign will devote their primary energies to climbing to the top. This is not due to a Capricornian desire to dominate others, but because you feel most comfortable in exalted positions. Capricorns are not renowned for being talkative or expressive. It is not unusual for a dry, if not caustic, sense of humor to be present. In close emotional relationships, difficulties can be encountered in the expression of intimate feelings. However, those with the Sun in Capricorn make loyal and cherishing marriage partners.

In career terms, you will rise through steady progress and make an excellent administrator in any profession. Those Capricorns that are not ambitious should seek positions that allow a modicum of independence and well defined responsibilities. Above all, the Capricorn is a creature of habit.

As a parent should beware of becoming preoccupied with the success of children and a tendency to be dominating. Use of the sense of humor is encouraged. The Capricornian child may be serious and somewhat of a loner; not very good team players but good individual athletes with a love of reading.
