Cardinal sign of Earth, ruled by Saturn. Capricorn is a conscientious and responsible sign, perhaps a little slow of resolution, but always sure of the goals it wants to achieve and that, in fact, it achieves based on work and patience.
Capricorn is the sign of social achievements, of commitments and of the ability to assume long-term goals. Throughout his life he builds solidity and confidence based on the sum of knowledge and his own experience. Those born under this sign will hardly make hasty decisions that have no foundation.
