Capricorns are sometimes stereotyped as buttoned-up sticks-in-the-mud who work hard and never relax. And while it’s true that these sea-goats are ambitious and goal-oriented, they’re also tons of fun. Capricorns make great bosses and coworkers, true, but they’re also known for being loyal friends who are always there for you when you need them—and they tend to have a dark or dry sense of humor.
As earth signs, Capricorns are concerned with the material world—they focus on the things they can touch and hear rather than abstract ideas. Like all earth signs, that also means Caps are particularly ~sensual~ (not to mention great in bed). As cardinal signs, they’re natural leaders who have no qualms about stepping up to take charge. Ruled by Saturn, planet of limitations and structure, they’re responsible and practical—they were born grown-up.
To get an idea of Capricorn’s overall vibe, look at a list of Capricorn celebs like Michelle Obama, Dolly Parton, FKA Twigs, Regina King. Whatever their field, they’re at the top of it—and they got there with lots of hard work, a no-nonsense attitude, and plenty of empathy.
Whether you’re a Capricorn yourself or you want to celebrate a Cap friend/S.O./family member, you’re in the right place. These quotes are perfect for a blank b-day card, an Instagram caption, or a DIY poster–maybe even a tattoo!
