Zodiac Profile: Capricorn - The Stoic Masters of Ambition
Immortal Gazette Exclusive: They May Not Smile, But They Sure Know How to Succeed
Alice tapped her fingers against her teacup, looking vaguely amused. “Ah, Capricorn. The ones who make you feel like you’re wasting your life... because they’re always five steps ahead of you. Like a chess player - always thinking, calculating, and then BAM! They’ve already won.”
Loki smirked. “It’s not like it’s a bad thing. Someone has to keep the wheels of the world turning, right?”
Alice arched a brow. “Oh, sure. Keep turning those wheels. It’s just that Capricorns make you feel like you’ve got to work for everything you’ve ever wanted, and I’m talking hard work. You know the kind where you’re up at 3 a.m. trying to finish something you didn’t even want to do, all because Capricorn put it in your head that ‘success is the only thing that matters.’”
Rumple leaned back in his chair, a look of mock horror on his face. “Are you telling me the mighty Capricorn doesn't understand the value of fun, then? No. No. Not possible.”
Alice laughed, clearly enjoying the chaos. “Oh, they get fun. But to them, ‘fun’ is climbing a metaphorical mountain and planting a flag at the summit. Every single thing they do has a purpose. They don’t waste time. If they’re going to do something, it better be part of the master plan. Like those evil geniuses in stories - except they’re just going for business success, not world domination.”
Loki nodded thoughtfully, clearly taken by the challenge that Capricorn presented. “You know, there’s something oddly attractive about their no-nonsense attitude. They might not be flashy or fun like a Sagittarius or a Leo, but when they get things done, they get it done. With that kind of ambition? It’s hard not to respect them.”
Alice rolled her eyes, but there was a hint of agreement in her voice. “Yes, they’re respectable, in that ‘I’ll get everything I want because I’ve already planned for it’ way. They make everyone else seem... like amateurs.”
Capricorn Breakdown: The Workaholics of the Zodiac
- Element: Earth (Grounded, practical, and always with a plan, they make sure everything they do is deliberate and aimed at success.)
- Strengths: Disciplined, hardworking, and resilient. If you need someone to pull you out of a mess and get you back on track, look no further than a Capricorn. They’ve got a plan for everything—and they stick to it.
- Weaknesses: Pessimistic, workaholic, and can be overly critical. Capricorns can’t seem to relax. They’ll work themselves to the bone, and if they can’t see results, they’ll beat themselves up over it. Also, don’t expect them to go easy on you if they think you’re slacking off.
- Compatibility: Capricorns love partners who can keep up with their ambitious pace—Taurus, Virgo, Pisces. They need someone who understands the importance of hard work and can take the long, winding road to success.
- Famous Capricorn: Michelle Obama—known for her endless work ethic, dedication to making a difference, and ability to balance ambition with real-life humanity. She’s like a living embodiment of everything Capricorn stands for.
Rumple’s expression softened. “Capricorns, like Ares, seem to understand that without ambition, everything else crumbles. What’s the point of living forever if you don’t have something to strive toward?”
Loki raised his glass, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “You sound like you’re talking about a noble cause, not a boring ‘do-lists-for-days’ kind of vibe. But maybe that’s just me. Not everyone can live like it’s a game.”
Alice smirked, sipping her tea. “Oh, they know how to play the game. Just don’t expect them to play for fun. They don’t do ‘fun.’ They do ‘winning.’ The rest of us just get to watch and wonder how they managed it all.”
Loki raised an eyebrow. “And when they win? It’s not even for them, is it? It’s all for the legacy. They want to be the one who built something. I guess there’s something... admirable in that.”
Alice narrowed her eyes, then added with a half-smile, “Yes, admirable. But don’t expect them to share their winnings. They’ll take care of you—if you earn it. But good luck getting them to make you a partner in their success. They’re the ones who’ll always be on top.”
And that’s Capricorn: the master strategists, always working, always building, always climbing toward that peak. No frills, no extra drama—just an unwavering focus on success and the future, whether you can keep up with them or not.
