PICTURE A MOUSY, conservative banker who one day rips off her horn-rimmed glasses, tousles her hair, and lets her inner freak run wild. That's Capricorn for you. They are hardworking, persevering people who will travel life's hardest roads...but they also have a secret kinky streak down the middle.

Life often seems like an uphill battle for many Capricorns, and some can fall into pessimism. Others, like Capricorn Dolly Parton, take on life's realities with an infectious, "that's the breaks" sense of humor. In the end, most Capricorns are innately practical. They are realists who operate on an even keel, and as such, appreciate that life is ultimately a long learning process.

Because Capricorn rules the bone structure, many Caps can be identified by chiseled cheekbones, chins, and jawlines. (Picture Capricorns Elvis Presley, Ted Danson, and Nicholas Cage). Many tend to be thin and "bony" early in life. Capricorns can also be spotted wearing very serious, even blank, facial expressions. However, their senses of humor are quirky, and they come to life telling eccentric jokes or stories. This sign can be the epitome of both cool, reserved dignity and straight-up weirdness.

Capricorns are often drawn to traditional or conservative fields like finance. At the very least, they like to make money. Even artistic Capricorns tend to take a systematic or professional approach to their crafts, combining creative pursuits with a strong business sensibility. "How can I make money at this?" is a commonly-asked Cap question. Because this is an earth sign, Capricorn is concerned with accumulating material comforts, and feels most at ease and uninhibited with a base of wealth or security in place.

Capricorns are born professionals, cautious, polite, and responsible, with souls that are hard to understand, but also impossible to break.
