Capricorn is an Earth Sign, meaning they are generally preoccupied with security. Like fellow Earth Signs Taurus and Virgo, these natives value tradition, family, and all the structures that make our lives disciplined and livable. They're masters of self-control, and can become wonderful leaders or managers, as long as they're working within a structure like a business.

Saturn, planet of restrictions and limitations, rules Capricorn. This planet can help solidify all of our abstract ideas into concrete reality, and make us responsible enough to truly live our lives like adults. Because of this ruler, Capricorns can be very practical people, saving money for the future and putting their plans into effect through hard work. They are the masters of pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, and proving everyone else wrong in the process.

Capricorn's symbol is the Goat, and like many goats, people born under this sign can be stubborn. But through their tenacity, they're capable of climbing the highest mountains. They may take the tried-and-true path to the top, but their seriousness, not to mention their staunch independence, can make them formidable in whatever they undertake. 

The part of the body associated with Capricorn is the bones and teeth, and these areas should be cared or and checked often if you're born under this sign to ensure your best health during this lifetime.

Challenges for Capricorns can arise when they're placed in close proximity with others. Capricorn can have a hard time allowing personal differences and may need to control their surroundings or impose its own traditional values. These natives may believe they're the only ones who know how to solve a given problem, but they need to learn how to forgive others, allow them to be as they are, and stop judging. They're a lot happier when they do so.
