Zodiac stereotypes are meant to be a funny and easy way to understand someone born at a particular time. However, relying on them too much can cause confusion and friction when trying to get to know a person. Capricorn stereotypes, in particular, have kept many people away from getting to know the person beneath the sign.
Capricorns, born between December 21 and January 20, are earth signs known for being nurturing and disciplined. They ruled by planet Saturn and are cardinal signs. This means that typically Capricorns are natural leaders and understand how to assert themselves.
While people born with the same zodiac sign may possess similar characteristics, it is important to recognize that everyone is different. As the season comes to a close, here are some Capricorn stereotypes that you may want to drop moving forward.
Capricorn’s Are Ruthlessly Hard-working
One Capricorn stereotype that is often used is that they are hardworking to a fault. Capricorn’s typically are motivated by their achievements and crossing off tasks on their to-do list. Sometimes, people associate this with Capricorns being all about work. However, there is more to their personalities.
While Capricorns go hard to reach their goals, they also put the same energy into their pleasure and fun. They are no strangers to hard-work; however, they live for a good reward.
Capricorns Are Unforgiving
Another Capricorn stereotype is that they are too busy for their emotions; however, that is not the case. As an Earth sign, alongside Virgo and Taurus, Capricorns are grounded. They are willing to get their hands dirty and do all the work they need to do to succeed by their standards. Whether it is physical or emotional work, they don’t do well with leaving things unfinished. They usually address emotions upfront and move on to release stagnant emotions, like unforgiveness.
Capricorns Step on Anyone in Their Way
Capricorns are often confused as being ruthless in their rise to success. The reality is that this Capricorn stereotype is more about the perception of success than this zodiac sign’s nature. Capricorns are practical and enjoy the company of like-minded folks. They believe that if everyone wins, they win. There’s nothing more fulfilling for a Capricorn than being on the winning team.
Capricorns Only Care About Money
Capricorns are very capable of getting what they want. This sign is associated with having good fortune because they like stability. However, money is not all they care about. Capricorns like to nurture good and lasting friendship groups. They are loyal to the people they love.
