<p>Capricorn, the 10th sign of the zodiac and ruled by Saturn is arguably the most ambitious of the twelve. In fact, Capricorns are masters of what I call the "letter game". MBA? No problem. CPA? What, are you kidding me? J.D.? Can you please make this more challenging ?? Ph.D ? Yawn, I need another goal !! I think everyone knows somebody that follows Army’s slogan that: "we do more by 6 am than most people do all day". Some of these goats can put other signs inclined to procrastination (*ahem*,Sags) to total shame.<br /><br />Once Caps get a goal in sight, decide it’s worth their time, energy and commitment, there’s very little that they won’t endure to ensure that they come out successful. When you look at Capricorn, you’re looking at the CEO who started out in the mailroom and steadily climbed his way to the top.<br /><br />Some people may be initially impressed with "flash in the pan" syndrome, but the goat knows that it’s slow and steady that wins the race. Patience comes naturally to these folks as they know "haste makes waste" and not to sacrifice accuracy for speed. Capricorns are born strategists and have incredible intuition regarding whom they need to allign themselves with to further their professional endeavors. When they walk into a room, they are able to zero in and identify the power brokers right off the bat.<br /><br />These are the people that you won’t have to push to work the overtime, do the side projects or participate in professional development programs. It’s literally in their blood. To be accomplished and also competent in the field of their choice is the reward that Capricorns strive for. To have all of their hard work, dedication and commitment to yield tangible results in the physical world: this is what makes the goat sleep soundly at night.<br /><br />If there was ever a sign that the phrase "quality over quantity" applied to, the Caps have it.<br /><br />At what price, you ask?<br /><br />On the flip side, in striving for all of these rewards and recognition, Capricorns are very capable of leaving everybody in the dust. This includes family, friends and co-workers. And the list goes on. Caps are definitely the workaholics of the zodiac. Sometimes they need a little nudge and someone to tell them that they can have BOTH, meaning a rewarding personal AND professional life. You don’t have to sacrifice your friendships or your family to be a success. You don’t have to step on your co-workers(and caps aren’t above this) to get ahead. Caps could learn a lot from Librans in the way of balancing their lives.<br /><br />Misusing their energies, the natives of this sign turn cold, aloof, rigid, stiff, and start to resemble a cardboard cut out. Memo to Capricorn: Relaxation is a positive force which enables us to regnerate our spiritual, emotional and mental faculties, which will in turn, make you more effective and energetic in the pursuit of your goals. It’s okay to enjoy yourself. Work hard, play hard and celebrate your achievements.<br /><br /><br />Capricorn keywords: ambitious, focused, practical, reserved, shrewd, cold, aloof, successful, goal-oriented, accomplished, competent, professional, stiff, formal, calculating, repressed, snobbish, orderly, thrifty. miserly, responsible, mature, authoritarian, organized, committed.</p><p>Capricorn, Saturn and 10th house representatives include: executives, politicians,elders, ambition,briefcases, organizers,structures, traditions,employers, social standing, reputation, bones, skeletons, age, professionals, old buildings, foundations, time, fear, maturity, classics, commitment, discipline, work, patience, caution, history, managers, bosses, goals,methods, benchmarks, standards, integrity, civil service, government, crystallization, economics, masonry, usefulness, advancement, follow- through
