Have you ever read a horoscope or article about your zodiac sign and thought, “That’s so untrue!?” While every astrology sign certainly takes its turn being thrown under the bus, it seems that Capricorn may well be one of the most misunderstood signs out there.
They’re boring, overly ambitious, and cold as ice, right? Wrong! There’s a reason that the old saying goes, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” While Capricorn may seem to be less than enthused, still waters run deep and this sign can be just like a glacier – while it may appear that not much is happening up top, beneath the surface lies a stream of activity. Just think of famous Capricorns Michelle Obama, Benjamin Franklin, Martin Luther King Jr., and Al Capone!
Let’s take a look at the Top 5 Myths about the Capricorn sign today.
This is Capricorn to a tee. They have the ability to laser focus on what they’re doing – and they can be pretty unshakeable in their composure at the same time. Don’t harshly judge them for being boring – they’re just better at keeping their stuff together and are not attention-seeking.
Side note: You’ll never catch Capricorn gossiping – they simply prefer to mind their own business. If you think making stuff up about other people makes you more interesting, then you’re probably not going to be convinced against your opinion of Capricorn being boring. In reality, they have better things to do.
Accomplishment is crucial to the self-esteem of this sign, but some things are sacred. Family and especially traditions are held in extremely high regard to Caps, as is integrity. As much as they want to achieve and climb that ladder, they’re not likely to take shady shortcuts to get there. They have the stamina to work through the night and twice as fast as everyone around them, so they have no reason to cheat. Working hard is its own reward.
Reputation is extremely important to Capricorns, so they are more likely to try and remain in control at all times, reserving any strong feelings or reactions for a more private time. They freak out just like everyone else – sometimes more – it’s just that they would rather risk appearing cold-hearted than reveal something before they are ready.
It may seem like they never want to take the dare, but actually, they will if it seems like a good reason to do so. They just won’t be hurried into it. There’s a difference between being a risk-taker and being spontaneous. They don’t necessarily go hand in hand!
Capricorn is related to the 10th house of career, so they understand that sometimes the best thing you can do in your job is to try something different, to think about a problem in many ways, and to keep going until you’ve solved it. They are definitely planners, but Cardinal signs like Capricorn are leaders and they want to get things started.
Yes, they can be harsh when it comes to their opinions, but they simply prefer to cut to the chase instead of feeding you unhelpful tripe. It may seem condescending, but likely, they are just trying to shake you into being your best, and they deliver it with a shot of realism.
Remember to give the benefit of the doubt and to ask questions of someone if you are unsure of where they’re coming from.
