January 18

Ambition is the name of this Capricorn's game. You know what you want and when you want it, and you will move heaven and earth to make it happen. Others would normally perceive this as bossy and headstrong, but there's a secret underlying all that drive: you treasure the philosophy that there is more to life than just money and power. So, you use considerable amounts of your personal resources for helping others. And thanks to a Virgo decanate, it's easier to communicate the reasons for those actions to everyone!

Professionally you would thrive as a healer, a social worker, or designing life-improving items. Having a birth number of 1 certainly supports this kind of focus with a moralistic and idealistic vision. The only drawback is that you need to develop more patience. Not everything can move quickly, and pressing the issue often backfires.

Humor is your greatest coping mechanism. Sure, it's partially a way to offset hidden personal insecurities, but it also brings everyone onto the same playing field. When you laugh, the world willingly laughs with you, and feels better for it! In love it's best for you to find others who share a charitable vision. Otherwise your partners feel slighted by the time and energy given to your humanitarian causes. When partnered with someone who's challenging and insightful, you become passionate and supportive.

Gift idea: a donation made in your name to one of your beloved charities.

The Capricorn personality is ideally suited to leading, facilitating, administering, and engineering. This practical, smart, and infinitely patient Goat loves to keep things under control. Nonetheless, the Goat doesn't lead with an iron hoof. Rather, he has a way of bringing out co-workers' finest attributes and using them effectively. Capricorns like a small team environment in which they're more than happy to carry a fair share of the work. But, take care. Those born under this sign sometimes neglect personal needs in order to get a task done.
