Were you born towards the end of December and before the end of January? Then you’re likely to be a Capricorn, represented by the goat in the Western Zodiac. Capricorns are known for being very well-balanced, easy to be around, kind, and intelligent. But, as everyone does, Capricorns do have their downfalls, too.

1. Capricorns are extremely loyal people.
Capricorns are known for being great friends and partners. This is because they are kind, strong, reliable, and very loyal. You are also very forgiving, but if you do reach a point of no longer being on someone’s side, it’s because they pushed you too far, and there will be no going back.
2. You’re a great listener.
As a Capricorn, you will happily sit back and let someone get everything off of their chest, go on a tangent about something that fascinates them, and even listen to lectures. You do not interrupt unless necessary and are happy to absorb everything you hear.
3. Capricorns are frequently hard to read.
As loyal as Capricorns are, it takes some time to gain their loyalty. And, just because you might believe you are in with them, does not mean that you are. In fact, they can easily change their opinion of you, and if they do, that’s it – no loyalty can be expected.
4. They’re very likable people.
One of the best things about Capricorns is that they get along with almost every star sign! You like making others feel at ease and are so genuinely interested in others that you’re a great companion for even the shyest of star signs.
5. Capricorns are born workaholics.
Another quality, which can also be a curse for a Capricorn if you’re born in that zone, is that you are a workaholic. You will work yourself to the bone to get what you need. Your ambition drives you, which is great, but remember to give yourself a break every now and then!
6. They spend a little too much time on the dark side.
Some Capricorns are a little withdrawn. They can also be fairly negative at times. However, others are known for being really upbeat and friendly! They just tend to feel negative moments deeper than others – it doesn’t mean all goats are pessimistic.
7. Some of the most inspiring people are Capricorns.
The world has been blessed with many famous Capricorns, and with such ambition, none of us are surprised! Some of the most famously successful Capricorns include Michele Obama, Denzel Washington, Dolly Parton, Bradley Cooper, Timothée Chalamet, Jim Carrey, Lin-Manuel Miranda, John Legend, Betty White, and Mary J. Blige.
8. Don’t test your limits with a Capricorn.
Again, Capricorns are among the nicest star signs out there! However, it is never a good idea to rub them the wrong way. Fortunately, Capricorns are incredibly patient. But, once they are pushed past a certain limit, there’s no going back, and, believe us, whoever sets them off will be the worst off by the end of it.
9. Above all, a Capricorn is careful and measured.
Capricorns are big thinkers. They do not like to be rushed into anything, and always like to take their time to think things through. However, once they have committed to something, you can be sure they thought of all of the eventualities beforehand!
10. Capricorns take note!
Capricorns should, ideally, avoid pairing up with Sagittarians for their laid-back natures. Gemini, too, conflicts commonly with the star sign, meaning a love match is unlikely to work well.
