Goats slowly and steadily climb to the top of the mountain, and that is what Capricorn natives are all about – they are the most determined sign in the zodiac and are driven by success, never stopping till they reach the top no matter how long it takes.

While serious in nature, they also tend to have a great sense of humor.

Capricorn is an Earth element; therefore, they are practical, resourceful, and grounded to the earth. They are patient and enjoy working diligently to slowly manifest their dreams into reality. They are in it for the long haul and have no problem with that.

Capricorn natives can be extremely hard on themselves. They long for authority and want the responsibility that comes with being on top. They are task-oriented, enjoy following the rules, and they are always thinking.
