A Feminine Negative Cardinal Earth Sign

Polar or Opposite sign: Cancer

Colour: Dark brown, black and grey

It is difficult to prise you out of your work ethic, but take time to traverse this room

You have a self-made brick wall around you. You are a bundle of contradictions. You are laidback, but can be fiercely ambitious when required to be. You experience a reverse ageing process. You are as serious as an owl in your youth, but you relax gradually as you mature. You are reverent about family ties. You take time to fall in love, as you look for a secure relationship. Financial security comes first to you.

You suffer because you detest mushy, romantic declarations of love. But once you are guided and tutored in the fine act of love, you become the companion everyone envies.

You have a practical, sensible manner, and a steely will to snag the right man. You value security, authority, respect and position. You seem to be even-tempered and steady, but that is just a facade. You can flare up, when you get really hot under the collar.

You need to be assured of complete commitment, before you plunge into a relationship. You are unusually attractive. Yet, you are unsure about your appearance. You need constant reassurance that you are pretty.

You make an excellent wife. You have a tight hand, and run a smooth home. You also have reality firmly in your grasp.

You are often traditional, somewhat reserved and usually cautious. You take some time to size up the stakes in the game of love. You know what you want, and once you fix your eyes on the prize, you will work hard to get it. You are a winner and often attract the same. Focussed as you are on appearances, you are likely to lure an attractive lover.

Where the 'us' thing is concerned, you keep the ground rules pretty simple: Those with money, power and the trappings of success should step up to the plate. You will work hard at taking a union with the right person to newer heights. If your lover can throw in a dash of excitement, all the better. A bit of solidity, along with excitement and passion, is just the right mix.

1. Understand that between you and work, the Capricorn devotion to duty wins hands down.
2. Wait for a commitment. If the Capricorn is sure of the relationship, he is yours for life.
3. Surprise your Capricorn from time to time. Little gifts are all it takes to have the Goat committed to you for life.
4. Make promises you can keep.
5. Spend some time on personal grooming. The Capricorn appreciates good taste.

1. Don't ever embarrass the Goat in public. Capricorn has a strong sense of integrity.
2. Have a hold on your purse strings all the time. The Capricorn is appreciative of people who can save.
3. Don't go back on your word, ever.
4. Don't blame your Capricorn for being wedded to his job. That is how it will be.
5. Don't accuse your Capricorn of being stuffy. It will take him a while to lighten up.

Practical and conservative, you enjoy working hard and getting things done, and your patience helps you persevere where others might give up. You enjoy being a leader, since it gives you a measure of control, which is soothing to you. You are image conscious and are likely to insist that co-workers look as respectable as you do. You are highly organised, so being on your team is a study in cool efficiency.

You are always disciplined and focused. You work hard for your money and enjoy the benefits. It's your temperament that makes you follow a slow and steady climb up the mountain. You expect things to be tough since you tend toward pessimism. In the end, however, it's exactly what will spur you on, because you do want to get to the top of that mountain in the worst way. You are among the shrewdest people at making and keeping money. Money gives you a feeling of strength and accomplishment and a delicious sense that you have arrived. You do not get carried away by get-rich-quick schemes. You also need to have a nest egg set aside for a rainy day, thanks to that lingering sense of gloom. Managing money comes so easily to you that you could keep accounts in your head. Once you set your mind to making money, no one will work harder than you toward that end. And you will probably make it to the top!
