The Capricorn man
The Capricorn man is sincere and earnest. He sets high goals, plans carefully and works with steady determination until he succeeds. He can be serious and even stressed about work, and he keeps his deeper feelings to himself without becoming bottled up. He tends to hold conservative, traditional views and shows great respect for his elders.
He is a little shy, yet he has strong leadership qualities. He is careful with money, sometimes to the point of seeming stingy, and his leadership can come across as formal, but underneath he is easygoing and makes an excellent adviser. In love he likes to be cared for, enjoys making his partner happy with romantic words, and is faithful, responsible and close to his family. He often takes two or three years to be sure before marrying.
The Capricorn woman
The Capricorn woman likes to feel special and valued, and she is hurt if she learns that someone has gossiped about her private life. She can seem slow or relaxed to others, but she moves forward step by step with great stability, and she is just as ambitious as the Capricorn man.
She is choosy about partners and treats any relationship as a serious matter, partly because she is strong-willed and firm-hearted. She looks for a partner who is serious, hard-working and patient, with a stable job and home, who can make her happy and be loved by her family. Once she loves someone, her love is sincere and wholehearted.
