The Goat (December 22 - January 19)
Capricorns are serious-minded people who often seem aloof and tightly in
control of their emotions and their personal domain. Even as children, there
is a mature air about them, as if they were born with a profound core that
few outsiders ever see.

This sign's nickname, the goat, represents Capricorn's slow, steady rise
through the world. They are easily impressed by outward signs of success,
but are interested less in money than in the power that money represents.
Like Scorpio, they feel the need to rule whatever kingdom they occupy
whether it is their home, work place, or business. Like Scorpios, they prize
power and mastery over things, but then tend to be more subtle about it.

Capricorns are true workers .. industrious, efficient, and disciplined. They
deplore inertia in other people. Their innate common sense gives them the
ability to plan ahead and to work out practical ways of approaching goals.
More often than not, they succeed at whatever they set out to do.

In a crowd, Capricorns are not particularly easy to spot. They are not
physically distinctive the way Scorpios are, and they are not the life of the
party like Sagittarians. But they possess a quiet dignity that is unmistakable.

Capricorns are natural worriers. Even when they have done their homework
and taken all the precautions they can possibly take, they fret that they have
forgotten something. They benefit from the cultivation of "perfect faith"
that whatever they do will work out fine.

They are not the body-builder types. But because they are earth signs, they
generally appreciate the benefits of exercise and have something physical
that they do regularly. Their knees tend to trouble them. Because this sign is
sometimes repressed emotionally, Capricorns benefit by venting what they
feel, which in turn improves their physical bodies.
