January borns are generally talkative and like experimenting with new things. They will keep you entertained and it is difficult to get bored when they are around.

People born before January 20 are Capricorns, while people born toward the end of January have the sign of Aquarius. Capricorns are said to be very independent, disciplined, and organized, often making strong leaders. Aquarians are reportedly in touch with their emotions and have strong humanitarian instincts.

As a Capricorn, you are sensitive and sensual in bed. You tend to see sex as another task to be completed to the best of your ability — which means you are always willing to put in the time and effort needed to satisfy your partner!

The three zodiac signs that are a soulmate for the Capricorn are Taurus, Virgo, and Pisces. Capricorn and Taurus have a practical and sensible relationship. These two zodiacs are down to earth and very dedicated. They can work together to make the connection last because they have the same outlook with relationships.

Capricorn will most likely meet her soulmate when she is in her early 30s.

Capricorn will find themselves drawn to Virgos, as a result. Then there is Pisces, who may fall for a Virgo because they are on the opposite sides of the astrological chart, “thus creating a magnetic attraction between the signs,” Damron says.

The primary sign Capricorns can’t get along with is Aries. Aries is too hot-headed towards objective Capricorn, which makes contentions more exceptional and sensitive between these two signs. This state of mind conflict might be a lot to deal with. The second sign Capricorns battle with is Gemini.

The most common negative traits linked with Capricorns are that we’re melancholy/negative, boring and goal-oriented/ambitious. Those can be a combination of traits that, at an extreme can be abrasive. One thing to note here is that people are a combination of their sun, moon and ascendant signs.

Of these two Star Signs, Libra just qualifies as the worst possible compatibility match for Capricorn. Due to its laid-back outlook and need for constant companionship, Libra may find it harder than most other Signs to cope with Capricorn’s unrelenting self-discipline and workaholic lifestyle.

Capricorns give all of that and more to their partners. Capricorns are attractive because they give love the same way that they wish to receive it. They will proudly do anything they can to show their partners that they love and care about them deeply.

The overall appearance of Capricorns is very attractive. In the childhood years, Capricorns may be on the slimmer side. It may be noticed that physically, they have a tendency to be on the weaker side. Capricorns usually have a long nose and deep-set eyes.

Capricorns are the ultimate worker bees. They’re ambitious, organized, practical, goal-oriented, and they don’t mind the hustle. “They’re ready to give up a lot in order to achieve that goal,” Verk says. They also love making their own rules, which means they strive to reach high career positions.

Bad Capricorns, too, can inspire cultish devotion, and they use their powers for evil, and often hide behind excuses about having committed atrocities for some larger good, and claim only to be dedicated to their work.

07/13Capricorn They are cold, vicious and pretty calculative. They will know at once, if something is wrong, or if they are in any danger. They won’t necessarily strike first, but if the issue is too grave, they will completely wipe out the person’s existence off the earth. They’re that evil and dangerous.

Capricorn: World Domination If you ever wanted to take over the world (which we all know you do), your enemies would be under your rule in no time. Your power would weigh over your royal subjects and no one could ever disobey your law.

Capricorn (December 22 January 20) You are a heartbreaker because of your pure inability to adapt to anything that doesn’t go according to plan. You are quite the planner and the visionary. You like to stick to a very strict timeline that you set for yourself.
