Planets in Capricorn will express themselves in a determined and serious manner, striving for honour and some kind of recognition in society. There is a desire and ability to reach the top through hard work and perseverence. Status and executive power are important - as is social position. There can be a certain formality and lack of spontaneity with planets in this sign, due to setbacks at early stages of the life. There is a tendency to control feelings and exert considerable self-discipline, but it would be advantageous if a greater emotional sensitivity and concern for others could be integrated into the nature.

You have rather conventional tastes and quite a strong sense of morality, and you will be looking for qualities you can respect in a partner. You tend to judge weaknesses rather severely and expect a high standard in your relationships. As you are strongly motivated by your ambitions you may have a tendency to neglect your emotional life in favour of your professional interests. It is essential to find a balance between your professional and personal life. Public commitments can often take priority over private, though you will always be conscientious in your duty to the family. Partners can find you rather stiff and unspontaneous, and although this may be the case, you are normally loyal and responsible as regards family life. You are generally a person who can be trusted. When your outer facade melts you can be quite soft and sensual, and very devoted.
