Capricorn
In the personality
Most fundamental for Capricorn is the doubting mechanism here - everything seem to be under a question mark until it shows undeniable, perceivable proof to its validity. This dynamic often serves to undermine their own confidence, making them very anxious about change or taking chances. The natural tendency is to look somewhat negatively on things, contemplating at the reasons they cannot work. They naturally have a strongly critical eye and this makes them rather niggling and perfectionistic, but helps them avoid dispensable hardship and failure.
As a result of these internal processes, this sign tends to avoid impulsive changes or risk-taking, and usually makes an effort to conserve what he has and build upon it without risking it. It also makes them rather ambivalent about things while their nature has not been established appropriately, which also makes them appear less excitable about things than other signs may be. The combination of fear, ambivalence and unaffected nature may have them stay passive in situations where other signs will be more mobilized to action.
This sign is also very sensitive to its image in the eyes of others, and a shyness may reflect off of their terrible fear of making a fool of themselves. It needs to be taken seriously, as there are usually some issues of low self-esteem in this sign. This often serves to drive them to big achievements, so may not be so disadvantageous after all. The sign can be somewhat self-conscious and timid at times, and is essentially reserved, but usually does not let this interfere with his goals. Capricorn usually craves attention under its cool façade.
Capricorn is emotionally complex, a strongly repressed sign - this gives rise to the rest of its basic characteristics. The Capricornian influence is rooted in basic lacks, which served to mold this personality type. It usually rises from an early setting where love and positive emotional interaction was somewhat scarce, or at least not openly expressed. Often, a parent was too busy or too remote to give proper attention. The result is a kind of desert inner world, which they often attempt to fill with alternatives to love, as it feels kind of awkward to them. This gives rise to Capricorn tendency to become career-oriented, seeking to be respected instead. A more spiritual, NeptuneSymbol of Neptune influenced Capricorn tends to be more monastic in demeanor.
Although they tend to be more conservative in nature, they don't let society mold them in ways that go against their beliefs and world views or that limits their personal goals, whichever these may be. In this light, they may be considered opinionated. This is even more pronounced with strong Mercury-Mars contacts.
Being of a crystalline earthy make up, they may become brutal when strongly annoyed. They can be a bit stubborn sometimes, however are usually willing to consider hard facts. Capricorn individuals may be a bit difficult to delineate as they tend to assess things too minutely while missing the big picture.
Strong
Although there is often an underlying issue with insecurity, Capricorn individuals nevertheless tend to have a strong and enduring character, and are usually rather self-reliant. The personality is more stable under this sign, it is cool and less sentimental. There is also a good degree of self-restraint, certainly when it is in their favor. Capricorn Suns are able to withstand great adversity without "caving in". In fact, in a weak astrological chart the personality may react badly when life becomes too easy.
Serious
Capricorn is a more serious sign. It is usually quite ambitious, although not as obsessed as Scorpio, and has a more responsible attitude. It has a no-nonsense demeanor and a sharp wit, and can be rather critical. It has a rather sarcastic, "smart" humor. They tend to have a professional demeanor, and dislike incompetence or foolishness. They can become mad when other people's shortcomings reflect badly on them.
Exclusive
The sign has a certain exclusive side to its nature, often preferring to associate itself with people it deems worthy and being somewhat more remote and aloof with other people. It may feel snooty to some, but this is a pattern that is actually more of a backlash against a subtle internal inferiority complex than truly egoistic.
Leo influences may alleviate this somewhat.
