Those
born under the Western Zodiac sign of Capricorn are responsible,
patient, and self-sufficient. They respect self discipline and pride
themselves on their resourcefulness and perseverance. When Capricorns
put their mind to a goal there is no stopping them. For people so
deeply interested in their own success, members of this sign are also
surprisingly sympathetic, helpful, and caring. Capricorns enjoy rising
to a challenge, whether or not that challenge is their own or a
friend’s. This ambitious and dedicated sign likes to put in a good
day’s work and earn the respect of others as well as themselves.
Capricorns
have big plans, which means that they are very cautious about letting
others into their inner world. To disrupt their plans, even
unintentionally, is like spitting in their faces. Capricorns rarely
trust anyone else to do the job right and may come across as controlling
or even dictatorial at times.
This is not the most imaginative of the Western Zodiac signs. Instead, Capricorns enjoy playing by the rules, painting by the numbers, and knowing that they have taken all of the recommended steps toward success. They are a great combination of practical ability and ambition. There is little a Capricorn can’t do when they dedicate themselves to a goal. However, Capricorns can also overwork themselves to the point where they are wasting a lot of energy instead of stepping back and looking at challenges from a different angle. Feeling “stuck” is the worst case scenario for Capricorns, and usually means they need to take a break.
The sign of Capricorn is all about playing by the book and succeeding, but what they want to succeed at specifically has more to do with other zodiac influences than an inherent Capricorn interest. Each Capricorn has a corresponding Chinese Zodiac sign that can help shed quite a bit of light on the approach to life that each Capricorn chooses to take. The 12 different Chinese Zodiac sign combinations are listed below. If you don’t know your Chinese Zodiac sign, you can find both Western and Chinese signs using your Primal Zodiac sign, which can be found on this chart.
Capricorn born during the Year of the Dog...
Capricorns born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Dog are represented in Primal Astrology by the Boxer. The Dog intensifies Capricorn’s existing loyalty, helpfulness, and caring nature, but it also brings with it a tendency to be overly emotional and anxious. Boxers are not the most socially adept of Primal Zodiac signs but they are one of the most sincere. The life of a Boxer is more about overcoming internal indecision and inhibition than about finding external success, though in a perfect scenario they could go hand in hand.

Capricorn born during the Year of the Dragon...
Capricorns born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Dragon are represented in Primal Astrology by the Eagle. Eagles are proud, hard working, and extremely ambitious. The Chinese Zodiac’s Dragon brings a flair of nobility and a rather tireless sense of self confidence, though it also increases the likelihood that these Capricorns will become too black-or-white judgemental and get stuck defending their beliefs rather than questioning them. Eagles can easily overwork themselves and fill their days with more promises than they can keep. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Eagle by clicking here.
Capricorn born during the Year of the Horse...
Capricorns born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Horse are represented in Primal Astrology by the Salmon. Salmon are more outgoing and energetic than most other Capricorns, but they also have a tendency to be more moody and self-centered. Salmon are often restless and love to start new project and come up with new goals, but the downside is that they are less likely than other Capricorns to actually finish what they start. Still, this is a very self reliant sign that must be careful to stay open minded on their journey through life. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Salmon by clicking here.
Capricorn born during the Year of the Monkey...
Capricorns born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Monkey are represented in Primal Astrology by the Woodpecker. Capricorns are known for being resourceful but not necessarily innovative. Woodpeckers are more likely than other Capricorns to be clever, curious, and imaginative. Like those born under the Year of the Horse, these individuals often like to jump from project to project and don’t always finish what they start. However, they usually remain cheerful and upbeat and along with Capricorn’s natural perseverance, this can be a powerful combination.

Capricorn born during the Year of the Ox...
Capricorns born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Ox are represented in Primal Astrology by the Ant. In the animal kingdom ants are famous for regularly carrying a far greater burden than they seem capable of. This is an apt description of the influence of the Ox within the personality of a Capricorn. Those born under the sign of the Ant are blessed with an almost inexhaustible perseverance. They are quiet, serious, and focused on completing the task at hand. There never seems to be enough time to do all of the work that Ants want to do, but there are also no end to the projects they will take on.

Capricorn born during the Year of the Pig...
Capricorns born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Pig are represented in Primal Astrology by the Spider. Spiders are more likely than other Capricorns to be perfectionists, as well as give up their own happiness for others and/or the greater good. These are very determined individuals who enjoy taking time to relax and be social than most other Capricorns, but they also give of themselves to others quite often. They are likely to be drawn to money, status, and authority. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Spider by clicking here.
Capricorn born during the Year of the Rabbit...

home more so than other Capricorns. They are also more creative than
most. While still ambitious, Weaver Finches have a harder time than
other Capricorns dealing with stress or adversity. They prefer to only
think about that which they want to think about and leave the messy
details to someone else. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Weaver Finch by clicking here.
Capricorn born during the Year of the Rat...
Capricorns
born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Rat are represented in
Primal Astrology by the Aardvark. Aardvarks are more likely than other
Capricorns to keep their true thoughts and feelings to themselves, but
they are also better than most Capricorns at expressing these same
thoughts and feelings. Aardvarks are protective of themselves and their
work, but they can also be very charming in social situations. Finding
their own individual balance in life is a key for most Aardvarks. You

Capricorn born during the Year of the Rooster...
Capricorns
born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Rooster are represented in
Primal Astrology by the Bee. The Rooster brings a colorful radiance to
the typically indifferent Capricorn as well as an increased ability to
handle the small details. Bees are hard working and organized and feel
that they deserve to be honored and respected for their contributions.
The Rooster also brings a controversial communication style to Capricorn
and if left unchecked Bees are in danger of becoming self-absorbed and
egotistical. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Bee by clicking here.
Capricorn born during the Year of the Sheep...
Capricorns
born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Sheep are represented in
Primal Astrology by the Mole. Moles are interesting because they often
defy Capricorn’s need to be in charge. The Sheep’s influence helps
Capricorn to let go and work with a team instead of just individually,
to trust others more, and to know when to cash out and start a new
project. Moles are thinkers and often loners, though their elegance and
well mannered nature never fails to impress those around them. You can

Capricorn born during the Year of the Snake...
Capricorns
born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Snake are represented in
Primal Astrology by the Alligator. Alligators are among the most clever
Capricorns and can turn on the charm and grace at a moment’s notice.
The Snake brings a strong instinctive quality and adaptability to
Capricorn along with a reduced chance of taking unnecessary risks.
Alligators win by outsmarting the competition and using Capricorn’s
patience along with the Snake’s strategic mastery to strike when and
where no one is expecting. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Alligator by clicking here.
Capricorn born during the Year of the Tiger...
Capricorns
born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Tiger are represented in
Primal Astrology by the Komodo Dragon. Komodo Dragons may be the least
Capricorn-like of all Capricorns. While the Tiger shares Capricorn’s
resilience, intensity, and dedication to their beliefs, it also brings
with it unpredictable and often volatile emotion. Komodo Dragons
succeed best when dedicated to a cause that they believe in. They have
all of the tools to make their visions come to life as long as they can
keep moving forward without self destructing. You can read more about the Primal Zodiac sign of Komodo Dragon by clicking here.
