East meets west astrology: capricorn in relation to the chinese
zodiac
Read how a Capricorn can be influenced by the year he was born
under his Chinese zodiac sign. Information on two different
astrological systems.
CAPRICORN THE GOAT (born December 22 to January 20): The
Capricorn is a very pragmatic, down to earth, dependable
individual. He can also be stingy, pessimistic and cold. He is
not the most social of creatures, and generally has few friends.
Though he may enjoy the company of a close friend or family, he
needs equal time alone. He is not very aesthetically inclined,
and tends to prefer function over form. If something works, he
doesn't worry too much about how it looks, and no matter how
well something works, if it isn't useful, he doesn't need it. He
rarely has high ambitions- if he simply sees a need for
something, he tries to fill it.
GOAT/RATS: Born in 1912, 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984,
1996. With the Rat's influence, the Goat is inclined to be a bit
of a pack rat. He will always worry if he might need something,
stash it away and refuse to part with it on the off chance he
might get stuck without it some day. He particularly loves
gadgets- he'll have a gadget to do just about anything you can
think of. If he doesn't have it already, he wants it. He is more
likely to give his romantic interest a blender than a bouquet of
roses- to the Goat/Rat, the blender is a superior expression of
love. The roses will only die in a few days, but the blender
will be useful for years to come. Family is important to the
Goat/Rat, and he prefers to live in a family in which everyone
keeps to their assigned role and function.
GOAT/OX: Born in 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985, 1997.
The Goat born in the year of the Ox may appear to others to be
stuck in a rut. He is all about routines, and he hates to have
to waver from his daily rituals. To the Goat/Ox, however, a rut
is not only acceptable, but preferable. Don't expect a life of
excitement if you want to become permanently involved with him.
You can, however, expect a life of consistency and
dependability. He has a hard time getting along with people
because of his stubborn nature- it will be very difficult to
make him vary from his chosen path.
GOAT/TIGER: Born in 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986,
1998. If there is any tedious, mundane task that needs to be
tackled, call on the Goat/Tiger and he will take care of it. He
works tirelessly. He may seem a bit quirky, as he will come up
with creative solutions to solve his daily problems and use
items in ways they were not intended to be used. He'll plant an
herb garden in some old shoes he came across, or use a hair
dryer to blow the leaves off his porch. The Tiger, who is
creative and rebellious in his own right, will influence the
Goat to fly in the face of convention. As long as something
serves his purpose, he is happy with it.
GOAT/HARE: Born in 1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987,
1999. The Goat/Hare is gentle, soft spoken and has the capacity
to be very kind. However, don't irritate him, or he'll lash out
at you and run away to brood. He won't invite many people into
his life or home, but when he does he is a gracious host and
will provide for all of your basic needs. He is not very
judgmental- live and let live is his motto. As long as you are
not bothering him, quite frankly, he doesn't care much what you
do. He's a very cautious individual, particularly with his
money. He will make sure his family's basic needs are met, but
will not be tempted to spend on anything he sees as excessive.
GOAT/DRAGON: Born in 1916, 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988,
2000. The Goat/Dragon has a tendency to be gentle one moment,
and harsh the next. This is because he cares deeply for his
cherished friends and family, but will not coddle or indulge
people. If he thinks you need to take your medicine, he'll give
it to you straight, just as he takes it. Though he can be
irrational at times, particularly when he wants his way, he is
not petty. He is not one to play games, and expects to be
treated with dignity. He will be straight-forward with you, and
expect you to be the same with him.
GOAT/SNAKE: Born in 1917, 1929, 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989,
2001. The Goat/Snake is often socially withdrawn. When he finds
himself with other people, he will be the observer rather than
the participant. He will listen when you talk, but have few
words of his own to say. He will watch you as you act, but
rarely join in. It is hard to know what he is thinking or what
he will make of a situation. He can be downright miserly with
his money, and most people will think he is much more
financially worse off than he is. He is not easily fooled. He is
likely to be very superstitious, however, and will take old
wives tales seriously.
GOAT/HORSE: Born in 1918, 1930, 1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 1990,
2002. The influence of the Horse makes for a very perceptive
Goat- nothing gets by him. He watches and observes everything,
and if you are close to him he may share his insights. He likes
to solve problems, for himself or for others, and feels it is
his duty to go where he is needed. In his determination to solve
it he will work around the clock until he is satisfied.
Everything in the household is likely to revolve around him, and
he probably won't notice that it does. The Horse/Goat is not as
much a slave to routine as other Goats; he takes every moment,
decides what needs to be done and proceeds with it, no matter
what time it might be or what might be going on.
GOAT/SHEEP: Born in 1919,1931,1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991,
2003. The Sheep has a way of softening the Goat's commonly harsh
ways. He is much more gentle, and much more flexible under the
influence of the Sheep. He is often prone to depression, for he
is sensitive and harbors insecurities. He doesn't come out and
talk about things easily, he'll let them stew until you pry it
out of him. Once he is able to get his problems off his chest,
he'll feel better for a while. He will frequently bounce back
and forth from optimism to pessimism, depending on how things
are going for him. When the outlook is bright, he'll see only
good; when things are bad, he'll expect them to just get worse.
GOAT/MONKEY: Born in 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992,
2004. The Goat/Monkey has a more playful nature. He'll always
look for the fun in his daily work and as he goes about his
routine. He'll try to draw you into the fun, particularly if you
look like you need a good time. He is comfortable participating
in social situations, though he won't often seek them out. Every
now and then he likes to break the monotony and does something
spontaneous, though it is short lived. He is willing to try new
things, though he will quickly revert back to his old favorites.
He has a good disposition and is not easily depressed.
GOAT/ROOSTER: Born in 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993,
2005. The Rooster teaches the Goat that the shortest distance
between two points is a straight line. With much self-control
and self-discipline, he will work straight through to get the
job done before he lets anything distract him. He is very
direct, sometimes even thought to be rude, even though it is
without mal intent. Even though he is practical by nature, the
Rooster's love for things that are colorful and gay will rub off
on the Goat, and he may have a collection or two of something
frivolous. It will be his pride and joy and he will spend hours
delighting in it.
GOAT/DOG: Born in 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994,
2006. For the Goat/Dog, his world is his home, and he loves it
dearly. He will care for it, protect it, and want to make it as
comfortable as possible for himself and his family. He is a good
listener. You can tell him your innermost thoughts and know that
your secrets will be safe with him. He is honest and
trustworthy, the one all the neighbors leave their keys with
when going out of town. He wouldn't even think of betraying a
confidence- it's just not in his nature. He is very affectionate
with his family for a Goat, and will enjoy rough-housing with
his kids or just sitting by the fire with his spouse in a
contented, mutual silence.
GOAT/BOAR: Born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995,
2007. The Goat/Boar is often a very plain, simple person. There
is nothing extravagant that he wants or needs in his life. He
takes pleasure in simple joys, such as a clean home or a job
well done. He is behind the times- he doesn't adapt easily to
new technology or drastic changes. He prefers to do things the
old-fashioned way. He doesn't mind if it will take longer or be
more work- he will take his time and do things his own way. He
is quiet, polite, and somewhat naive (though he's nobody's
fool).
