The Capricorn must remember that his ruling planet, Saturn, is the "planet of Karma."  That has an awful lot to do with the Capricorn. The Capricorn has the task of putting in whatever hard work it takes to reap the handsome benefits of their labor.

And a Capricorn understands Karma - often very intuitively and with a much deeper understanding that other signs. The Capricorn knows that what he does today affects his tomorrow. What he did last lifetime affects his current last time.

The Capricorn has also learned that there is a route to travel and time to traverse through before he will reap his reward. This is why he has such patience and discipline. These are his lessons of karma. He is a practical and steady mountain goat, traversing that rocky path with caution and perseverance. He will succeed. It's his karma.

Capricorn has been identified as one of the most stable signs in the zodiac. When you need a steady hand or a calming voice. You will get this from the Capricorn.

When the emergency arises and the people are in a panic, you will see it is the Capricorn that is calm and soothing. He will panic later, when the crisis has passed and there is no one who is depending upon him. But in that moment of crisis, he will be patient and reserved, calm and steady.

Yet for all the "Rock of Gibraltar" ways, the Capricorn is also quite capricious and often shows the humorous side of himself. The Capricorn can have such a spirit of play and wonderful bouts of flippancy. Most of them need to indulge in this side so much more than they actually do.

The Capricorn is also the intellect. He is a profoundly deep thinker, exploring all possibilities before deciding on the safest alternative. They have excellent memories and an insatiable desire for knowledge. They are clearheaded, rational, and logical.

In their personal relationships they are often ill-at-ease, if not downright unhappy. They are somewhat self-centered but not excessively so, wary and cautious around people they do not know very well, preferring not to meddle with others and in turn not to allow interference with themselves, thus they tend to attract people who do not understand them. Casual acquaintances they will treat with diplomacy, tact and, above all, reticence. They make few good friends but are intensely loyal to those they do make, and they can become bitter, and powerful enemies. They sometimes dislike the opposite sex and test the waters of affection gingerly before judging the temperature right for marriage. Once married, however, they are faithful, though inclined to jealousy. Most Capricornians marry for life.
