Capricorn's Planet: ♄ Saturn.
Meet a Capricorn woman before she's twenty and you may be pleasantly surprised by how little interest she has in heavy makeup. Among friends in full glam, she stands out with natural brows and a fresh, unpainted glow. By forty, the contrast can be startling: she looks so young, fresh, and natural that you might need to see her ID to believe her age.
The secret of this apparent eternal youth is more surprising still: a healthy attachment to the tried and true. The Capricorn woman is so certain tomorrow will be at least as good as today—including where her looks are concerned—that she seems able to persuade her body clock to agree.
Her confidence can work greater wonders than that. While some women make vulnerability part of their charm, Capricorn draws on a tremendous inner strength. You'll marvel at her determination to overcome obstacles and achieve her goals, all while looking perfectly sweet and charming.
How to Win a Capricorn Woman's Heart
Almost from childhood, the Capricorn woman wants to achieve a great deal. That ambition gives her discipline and strengthens her character. Intelligent, well mannered, educated, and driven, she usually builds a good career before marrying. She's also keenly aware that women don't always get the same opportunities as men to fulfill their ambitions. So although she marries for love, the man she loves needs promising career and financial prospects, too.
That sometimes earns her the accusation of marrying for money, but it misses the point. She can happily say yes to a broke student. A couple of years later, though, don't be surprised to discover that he's exceptionally bright and has a job offer in Silicon Valley.
There's no getting around it: the drive to succeed is central to Capricorn's character. She can spot success in its earliest stages. She wants to fulfill her own potential and help her husband reach the top, too. Who better to support him, inspire him, offer sound advice, restore his confidence, and help him through every setback?
A man with no great ambitions, on the other hand, barely registers with her. To her, a lack of drive is as unappealing as a lack of physical attraction might be to someone else. Bear that in mind if you're hoping to win her love.
In a Relationship with a Capricorn Woman
Marry a Capricorn woman and another pleasant surprise awaits: she's a superb homemaker. She's quite capable of leaving the career-building to you and devoting herself to home and children, bringing the same high standards to that work. She cooks beautifully, keeps a clean and welcoming home, and manages money expertly, all with evident pleasure. Good traditions matter to her, especially those centered on home and family.
Family ties are sacred to Capricorn. She'll treat your parents with the same respect she gives her own. A dinner for the extended family feels like an honored responsibility to her, rather than an unwelcome burden.
You needn't brace yourself for wild mood swings or plates flying across the kitchen, either. Even when she's unhappy, the Capricorn woman sees little point in losing control. What would it achieve? Why not sit down and talk through the problem together?
Sometimes, though, sadness lies beneath her usual composure. For all her resilience and vitality, she's prone to spells of pessimism. Help draw her away from thoughts of aging, death, and missed opportunities before they cloud her life. Praise her often and acknowledge what she does; above all, avoid picking her apart. Your approval matters deeply to her.
Reserved with people she doesn't know well, Capricorn is capable of powerful, lasting feelings. Once she chooses you, her stiffness and carefully maintained severity fall away. She gives herself wholeheartedly: the tenderness, vulnerability, romance, and passion she hides so carefully from everyone else are yours.
Her love can light up your life, helping you reach new heights in your career—and in happiness.
The Capricorn Mother
The Capricorn woman doesn't spoil her children. She's a caring but firm mother and a capable guide, teaching them from an early age to appreciate order and organization.
