CapricornDecember 22 - January 19 • Capricorn, the tenth sign of the zodiac, is all about hard work. • Capricorns are both ambitious and determined: they will get there. Life is one big project and they adapt to this by adopting a business like approach to all most everything they do. Capricorns are practical as well, taking things one step at a time and being as realistic and pragmatic as possible. • The Capricorn-born are extremely dedicated to their goals, almost to the point of stubbornness. • The Goat symbolizes Capricorns, and an apt mascot it is. Goats love to climb to the top of the mountain, where the air is clear and fresh. In much the same way, Capricorns want to get to the top of their chosen field so that they can reap the benefits of success; namely fame, prestige and money. • Capricorns are industrious, efficient, organized and won't make a lot of waves.
