Capricorn profile: Capricorn is an Earth sign

People of Earth signs tend to be practical, loyal, responsible, down to earth and cautious. They tend to prefer to plan things down to the last detail and to avoid unnecessary risks (they don't get a thrill from risk taking like some other signs do). They typically prefer long term relationships over one night stands, and are often more concerned with practicalities than being swept off their feet, and tend to value stability and loyalty from a partner.

Capricorn profile: Capricorn is ruled by Saturn

Appropriately, Saturn (the ringed planet) represents boundaries and limitations. It represents the belief that we reap what we sow, and that structure, stability, responsibility, tradition, discipline, authority and similar concepts serve our best interests and ensure that everyone gets what they deserve.

Capricorn profile: Capricorn is associated with the 10th house

The 10th house represents how the world see us. Our results, status and achievements. What we pursue and what we are recognized for. Our lifes work. Conceptually the 10th house represents ambition, persistence, expertise, authority, monuments, legacies.
