Capricorn man profile - personality traits & characteristics

Down to earth, practical, ambitious, driven, patient, self disciplined and responsible. The Capricorn mans greatest strength is the ability to set goals and pursue them until attained. Nothing gets in the way of a Capricorns plans and ambitions, and they don’t like taking shortcuts or cheating – as either devalues their later satisfaction. They value steady progress over short bursts of activity, and are exceedingly patient. Bad news affects them less than other signs, and rarely holds them back for long.

He may have an intrinsic need to climb proverbial mountains and challenge himself. Sometimes pessimistic by nature he may fear failure, which drives him so hard to both succeed, and stand or his own two feet doing so. Respect, recognition and praise are important to him, as is his public image.

Work is very important to Capricorns and they do not take it lightly, holding fast to duty and responsibility. They place a very high value on material security, which can lead to efficiency, thrift and being somewhat of a packrat!

Capricorns like to plan their every move, weighing all the pros and cons of any issue in advance, and often rehearsing exactly what they want to say before they say it. They are very dependable, particularly in a crisis, though they dislike chaos and unpredictability where avoidable. When asked, they give sound, practical advice. As a rule they’re not aggressive people, and only express hostility as a defense.

Visitor Question - Are Capricorn men afraid to express their feelings?

Afraid is the wrong word for it, though this is a valid question, as they often come across this way. Capricorn men typically enjoy people, though they are often thoughtful, self-contained and shy. Their quiet exterior can make them appear to be loners, often building a wall of reserve around themselves. They are very loyal to those they care for, but often cold to those outside of their circle of friends and family. They are often highly cautious and analytical when making new friends.

Capricorn man as a lover - Capricorn man sexuality

Your Capricorn man is likely to be a very adventurous lover, which may come as a suprise when compared to his otherwise restrained and stand-offish exterior. Contrary to his cool demeanor, he is remarkably playful in bed, and will prefer ‘fun’ sex to the heavy or serious. He will also enjoy laughing in bed, and appreciate a sense of humor. Don’t be surprised if he suggests making love at either your place of work or his, it seems to be a common fantasy with Capricorns!

The Capricorn man is as romantic and emotional as anyone else, but can be somewhat inhibited in expressing his emotions, sometimes preferring to perform practical tasks to help loved ones in preference to making purely romantic gestures. If he seems more interested in being your personal handyman than getting you into bed, this is just his way of showing he cares!

He will be exceptionally cautious of making a commitment until he knows that your traits and lifestyle are compatible with his. He is very cautious by nature, and not one to rush into anything, so again don't be misled if his interest appears mainly platonic for a long time. Once married the Capricorn man is exceptionally loyal and will seldom divorce, because he feels that any situation can be worked out, and he will nearly always be willing to put in the effort to do so, if his partner is.

Ideal partner

Security is very important to this man, and he will prefer a stable and down to earth lover. He often admires those who are hard-working or have ambition over those who are more physically attractive but lacking in ambition. He has very little tolerance for lazy people, and often enjoys the company of optimists over pessimists

Using astrology to really understand a Capricorn man

It’s important to note that we’re only considering a persons sun sign in this article. There are many other planets which can have an equal or greater effect on their personality. Makes sense, as ultimately everyone is of course unique.

Your own personality is also a significant factor. How you see someone, and how they see you is a matter of personal perspective. It’s why you may think someone is wonderful, while your friend can’t see it.

To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them (the two are ultimately the same thing) we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results.

This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information – everything from how they view you, how to turn them on, how to avoid arguments etc. If you would like to explore this further please see the astrology compatibility reports page.
