Capricorn
(December 22 - January 20)
Beyond all the usual guff about Capricorns being the perfect business managers (which, let’s face it, they usually are), this is actually kind of a difficult sign to describe. I usually get around it by saying that Cary Grant is the perfect epitome of a Capricorn (he was one, you know), and people will nod their heads as though that really means anything.
And on a certain level, it does. Cary projected this unbelievable confidence, this solid dependability, to the world, even when – you could argue, especially when – he felt threatened. That’s the Capricorn’s fallback: dependability. Not to say they’re not glamorous – the women are the most put together, the men the most suave, sophisticated creatures you could ask for. These people are Ambitious, capitalization definitely intended.
Ambition can be their making or their downfall – these people have such concrete, lofty goals in mind that they can sometimes seem like the perfect set-up for a Greek tragedy. Don’t worry too much about them, though – they can take care of themselves, and usually far better than anybody else could take care of them.
They know their business. That’s their blessing and their curse.
Biggest Insult: Nobody thought you handled that the right way.
Quickest Way to Get Capricorn into Bed: work as their secretary. Be a lot younger than them (although the men are often attracted to older women). Work with them on a business project, in the board room, after hours.
Most Likely to: have his secretary call to reschedule your date.
Should Have Been Born: in board room. OBVIOUSLY. These people were born to wear business suits.
To Make Capricorn Forgive You: get them a surprise gift of a rapidly-appreciating stock that shows long-term growth potential.
