Capricorns want to get ahead and usually do. Money, social position and power are very important to them. Determined and focused, people born under this sign rise to the top slowly and stay there.

A Capricorn feels that there is one person in the world they can count on, the one they see in the mirror. This comes across sometimes as coldness or selfishness. Deep down, however, they are caring and sensitive.

People born under this sign value security above all else. They are conservative, particularly with money. Capricorns appreciate money for the stability it provides. Luxury seems like a waste to them.

Capricorns test the loyalty of those who care about them. They need to feel loved, wanted and needed. A Capricorn won't let on that they crave these things . They often mask their vulnerability with sarcasm and humor. Once you get past a Capricorn's tough exterior you find a caring, loving person.
