If a Capricorn thinks you can not do anything for them, it may be difficult to break into his inner circle. If, however, you have something to offer, the Capricorn will embrace you for life. Expect yours to be a structured friendship. If you make plans, your Capricorn buddy will schedule an itinerary for you. At times, the Capricorn may seem to you more like a parent figure than a friend. They might think they have all the answers and will try to impress you with their knowledge on any practical subject. If you have impeccable manners, are successful in your own right and manage to win the affections of Capricorn, you will find that you have earned an extremely devoted friend. A Capricorn who has once had their trust betrayed, by anyone, takes a long time to heal.
Love can at times be difficult for Capricorn. The measure of mistrust might well be attributed to a fear of losing oneself in affairs of the heart. The good news is that with the right one, the Capricorn positively blooms in love, and is a loyal and devoted partner. When they give their love is total and which they will work hard to keep. The often traditional, somewhat reserved and usually cautious Capricorn is certain to take some time to size up the stakes in the game of love. Capricorn knows what they want, and once they fix their eyes on the prize, will work hard to get it. Where the 'us' thing is concerned, Capricorn keeps the rules pretty simple: Those with money, power and the trappings of success should step up to the plate. If their lover can throw in a dash of excitement along the way, all the better, since the Capricorn loves a splashy social occasion and the chance to flash some finery. A bit of solidity, along with excitement and passion, is just the right mix.
Capricorn children benefit from being introduced to a variety of experiences. They should be praised for effort rather than for achievement. In time, their achievements will be as great, if not greater, than their efforts. Allow them to accept responsibilities early. Because they appear to be very wise for their age, it is easy for their parents to unburden their troubles to them. This causes the child to lose their own small amount of optimism, since they are not old enough to help their parent solve the problem.
Capricorn Parents are family oriented and enjoy their children. They must watch a tendency to want to dominate their children. Since it is easy for them to get sidetracked in their own work or projects, they must make a conscious effort to bring fun into their children's lives. It would help a Capricorn to set aside a certain time each day to do something with their children. Otherwise, time will elapse without their being aware of it. The children can learn much from a Capricorn parent because of their parent's sense of responsibility. A Capricorn woman enjoys working but should, if possible, avoid going back to work until the child is in school.
