Capricorn at work

IF YOU want something done, do it yourself.’ That’s the Capricorn’s motto and it works every time and then the conscientious Capricorn will add: And if a thing’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well!’ You’ve got to admit they’re absolutely right!

Capricorns may be momentarily captivated by soft lights and sweet music, but what really gets their hearts beating extra-fast is work. They love it! Because this is a conservative, careful sign, you won’t find many Capricorns working for fly-by-night firms, doing daredevil jobs, or something outrageously out of the ordinary. They don’t even dare be self-employed in case the business goes bust and they find themselves bankrupt. Instead, they’ll choose a company that has a pronounced path of promotion, which the Goat can scamper up as though it were the Yellow Brick Road.

Some Capricorns with get-up-and-go are astoundingly ambitious and dutifully diligent. They may start their careers at the bottom, but you can bet your bottom dollar that they’ll end up being in charge every day of the week! You might have a pal who seems to be dawdling about on the slopes, but just wait. Some signs make a song and dance about their aspirations, but Capricorns keep quiet and plod along determinedly. Remember that slowly but surely wins the race. Most ambitious Capricorns get what they want in the end, long after acrobatic Arians and jumping Geminis have fallen fiat on their faces.

Because this is the sign of status and public recognition, Capricorns love jobs in which they can rise to great heights. Some Capricorns will be custodians of social mores, and become politicians and Members of Parliament. Others may become local councillors and end up being mayor or mayoress. It could mean the Capricorn is just the greatest grocer for miles around, or wins the Queen’s Award to Industry. But Capricorns aren’t constantly looking for pats on the back, like Leos though they do like their hard work to be appreciated. Then, they’re happy.

Because of the Saturnine link with teeth and bones, Capricorns make delightful dentists and outstanding osteopaths and as you might have gathered by now, they make fantastic financial directors, telling other people how to spend their money! They also make marvellous mathematicians and stunning scientists. Creative Capricorns will plump for practical professions, such as pottery. They like to know they’re working twenty-four hours a day for a good reason.

Capricorns will burn the candle at both ends, then try to have a go at the bit in the middle, too! This is a stupendous sign to have around, work-wise, but you may find your dear old Capricorn starting to look a teensy-weensy bit haggard. You see, they have dreadful difficulties in delegating, and prefer to do everything themselves.
