The mountain goat, Capricorn scales the peaks and Capricorn crawls the valleys. They are loners, prone to melancholy and pessimism yet capable of enormous success in life and work.

Capricorns have a tendency to engross themselves in work to exclusion of all other things. They are excellent in business and administration and will achieve success through careful planning and steady progress. They are natural leaders and must take the final decision - and the praise or blame.

As partners Capricorns can often be moody and distant but their amazing, offbeat sense of humour can make them rewarding to be around.
