What Are the Personality Traits of a Capricorn? A Complete Guide to the Zodiac Sign

The holidays are in full swing, which means it’s officially Capricorn season.

Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac, falling after Sagittarius and before Aquarius.

Out of the four elements (earth, fire, water and air), it is categorized as an earth sign. Earth signs are usually associated with more “down-to-earth” character traits, such as being stable, logical, and pragmatic.

According to astrologer and bestselling author Lisa Stardust, Capricorn is represented by the sea goat, “which is the cosmic savior of the zodiac,” she explains. “Capricorns have a serious demeanor because they always look out for others. But they have a wild side when they are off duty and can relax.”

Although they are often thought to be too focused on money and power, Stardust says Capricorns are misunderstood in this way. “They are very different from that,” she says. “The sea goat likes to share the good life with those they care about. In essence, they are extremely good-natured and sincere.”

From personality traits to compatibility, here’s everything you need to know about the Capricorn zodiac sign.

What are the Capricorn dates?

Capricorn.

Capricorn season is from December 21 to January 19.

What are the key personality traits of Capricorn?

Capricorn constellation.

Stardust describes Capricorns as “hardworking, persistent, creative, honest, thoughtful, protective and sensitive.” Being earth signs, she adds, they “enjoy the material and physical world.”

He also notes that Capricorns are a “cardinal” sign, meaning they initiate the start of the season. The beginning of the Capricorn season coincides with the winter solstice.

Other cardinal signs are Aries (marking the beginning of spring), Cancer (summer) and Libra (autumn). Cardinal signs are associated with a sense of urgency or immediacy, and are said to be movers, trendsetters, and innovators.

Which zodiac signs are most compatible with Capricorns?

Scorpio and Capricorn.

According to Stardust, Capricorns relate to their fellow earth signs, Taurus and Virgo, on a “spiritual and spiritual level” because of their shared practical and rational mindset.

They also tend to bond emotionally with Scorpios, she adds, “because they’re both intuitive and have a tough exterior that hides their tender hearts.” The astrologer notes that these two signs also understand each other’s desire for success.

A surprisingly compatible sign for Capricorn is Gemini. Stardust says the two signs get along “because they both have a need to rush to achieve goals.”

Which zodiac signs are least compatible with Capricorns?

Capricorns tend to clash with Aries, as both signs like to take control.

“They are both cardinal signs, which makes them initiators and full of energy,” says Stardust. “Their lively attitude and desire to be the best can make them come off as bossy. When two dominant powers come together, it could lead to a frustrating relationship.”

Another cardinal sign that Capricorns can clash with is Cancer. These signs also sit opposite each other on the zodiac wheel.

“Cancers are very emotionally open, and Capricorns tend to hide their feelings,” explains Stardust. “The other can have a hard time understanding and relating to their opposing natures, which can create problems between them.”

How does Capricorn season affect Capricorns?

Capricorn.

According to astrologer Valerie Mesa, Capricorn season is an opportunity to “clean up, review and plan your next big move.”

Mesa adds that this is the best time to “take control of your goals, refresh your look, and embrace more self-love” during this solar return. At the new moon on December 30, this is an opportunity for Capricorns to set intentions for the new year ahead and “start planting the seeds of success.”

While the season may include some periods of work-life struggles and mental overload, Mesa says this time will bring plenty of opportunities to shine in the spotlight.

“You’re unstoppable when you combine strategy with a little magic!”
