All about Capricorn Man

Capricorn Man - December 22 - January 19

Remember the most popular guy in school? How he used to woo your best friend, who happened to be the most attractive girl in class? Let me tell you something… that girl got tired of him soon as he spoke only about himself.  But it was no loss for him as he was seeking out the next pretty face the very next day. A Capricorn guy through and through!

A typical Capricorn male will be charming and ebullient yet he would be intense to the core and often somber. And then there’s this incorrigible habit of covering up all his feelings. He will continuously make and break your impression of him. Now go figure out this man!

How to identify a Capricorn man in a crowd?

 

Loud, flamboyant, centre of attraction and oodles of charm… that’s the briefest description you can get of a Capricorn man. This is how you can identify him too. He travels in flashy cars, stands surrounded by people (usually women) and is the chief talker of the group. While his words will be directed at one, his eyes will be making out with another woman.

Although a womanizer, he is a light hearted one and a gentleman at that. He will captivate both men and women with his suaveness and charm rather than force. If you observe closely, you will find him talking mostly about himself… with topics ranging from his latest car to his last girlfriend.

What are his general personality traits?

 

The most noticeable thing about a Capricorn man according to me is his attention seeking nature. No matter where he is… with a small group of friends or at a party, he likes to be noticed. He makes sure when he arrives at a social event then ‘he has arrived’.

There is also much of a brag in a Capricorn male. He likes to talk explicitly about his achievements and successes. Don’t mistake this for low self esteem. This man has confidence by the ton but bragging is his way of playing the power game.

But whatever he talks and how much ever he may brag… a Capricorn man is a crowd puller. He has the quality to attract admirers and listeners by the horde. He is great at entertainment but all the fun comes at a cost. If you want to enjoy his company, you should be prepared to bear his mood swings. When friendly, he will be one of the ‘most charming’ beings and the funniest of men. But when in a black mood, he can kill with his sarcasm and slay with his anger.

What are the finer attributes of a Capricorn man’s personality?

A Capricorn man although captivating and fun to be with can turn into a turtle and pull up the hardest of shells to shun the world. It isn’t easy to get up and close with this guy. He likes being sociable, will behave in a gentlemanly way and will also show a degree of chivalry, but when it comes to looking into his eyes right up to his heart, he reserves this privilege for a select few.

He lives in a cocoon to which very few people have access. This makes him a man of the world, who’s true worth only a handful understand. And I find this to be his most peculiar trait. Lest I am blamed for being contradictory, let me explain. A Capricorn guy is funny, charming and good at conversation. He likes to talk and connect with people. At the same time he isn’t someone whom you can describe as a people’s person. There is a thin yet rather strong veil between him and those around him… a veil which he wants to keep for his true self to remain hidden.

What does he want from life?

Hmmm… it would be incorrect to say everything. This man has desires that go beyond everything. The word ‘enough’ does not exist in his lexicon. Be it success, material comforts, love or happiness… he wants more of it all. His ambition drives him from one milestone to the next. He ‘must’ have the best of everything life has to offer and he will stop at nothing to achieve it.

How is he when in love?

A Capricorn guy is a romantic. There, now I have gone and trapped myself by making such a statement. It’s true he is a romantic but his definition of ‘romantic’ is slightly different from the rest of us. And that’s why I said I have trapped myself… because now I will have to delve into what makes him a romantic, albeit a different one.

You will hardly ever notice a Capricorn man in love. Not because he can’t be in love, but because he won’t show it. He will not shout from rooftops or pour his story into eager ears. On the contrary he will be very subtle and even shy in displaying his love. By the time he is mature enough to know what true love is, he has mastered the art of controlling his emotions. This makes him conceal his feelings and act unperturbed. But actually inside he is steaming with untold fantasies and bursting with energy.

While dating him you should…

…never forget his definition of romance. It saves trouble in the long run. He will take you to the best restaurants, buy you gifts, whisper sweet nothings and be very funny and amiable. But it is likely that this behaviour won’t continue beyond the courting period. I am not implying here that this guy is a fake. He’s not! He means every word and every gesture but he is too practical to continue this kind of behaviour once in a steady relationship.

It is for you to understand how things change as a relationship progresses and accept the transformation. He won’t actually give you any cause to complain as he will be a good companion to you, with his feet firmly rooted. Remember, his constant reality checks!

You will have to believe in him and his dreams if you wish to have a long term relationship with him.

How is he on thefollowing aspects?

Appearance: I have observed six out of every ten Capricorn men to have an oval face. They are usually very formally dressed in jackets and suits…replete with hats. They are the ones who can walk down a beach in a suit and still look extremely charming and never out of place.

Ambition: The Capricorn man is overambitious. He sets unachievable targets and goals for himself. Being extremely persuasive, he uses his charm to great advantage. The aggressive kind of Capricorn men are also very competitive so much so that they will stoop to any level to attain success. His personal ego makes him see a battle in every situation, one that he has to win at any cost.

Ego/Self-respect: The Capricorn male has tremendous ego, something that surpasses his already high level of self-respect, but you may or may not be able to spot it. If he is doing something, he will make it clear ‘he is doing it for you’, while actually he would be doing it for himself. He often uses his girlfriend or wife or family members as an excuse to get what he wants. As he has a rather big ego he cannot handle criticism well. When criticised he is likely to fight and argue to prove his point or simply give excuses to cover up for his mistakes.

Compatibility quotient

 

Compatibility is a much used term in behavioural study. A Capricorn male is undoubtedly popular for his flamboyant style and persona. But does that make him compatible in a long term relationship? Find out for yourself.

 

Capricorn man and…

 

Aries woman: 8/10. A workable combination but both will have to work a lot to make it a happy one. Expect lots of sparks. The Capricorn guy needs to be more expressive to meet up the vivacity of the Aries woman, or at least be able to put up with it. And she will have to make do with his usual reserved way of life.

Taurus woman: 8/10. An excellent match for both! The Taurus girl knows how to trust and love a man, while the Capricorn guy knows how to make a woman feel secure and comfortable. She also has the ability to make him relax in her company with her good humour.

Gemini woman: 5/10. Both will have to walk a long way to be on the same plane. It is impossible to rein-in the free spirit of a Gemini and the Capricorn guy will find this disconcerting.

Cancer woman: 7/10. Once the Capricorn guy is able to match the Cancer girl’s emotional quotient to some extent, this relationship can work out to be simply perfect. He needs to be more expressive of his feelings and more understanding of hers.

Leo woman: 8/10. A Leo woman has qualities that the Capricorn guy hates; for instance excessive socialising. While he is way too predictable to suit her fancy, I have given them an eight…he will love her for her determination and she will appreciate his dependability.

Virgo woman: 9/10. A great match for both! These two are quite compatible as they understand each other implicitly. Each can act as an anchor and a source of support for the other.

Libra woman: 5/10. Again a midway deal! While both love the nicer things in life, the level of extravagance in a Libra girl can be a little too much for the Capricorn guy to digest. Moreover, she is likely to get bored of his sombre nature sooner than later. But with compromises, this can be a workable relationship.

Scorpio woman: 9/10. The Scorpio girl is the Capricorn guy’s real dream girl. She has the right amount of vivacity to make him comfortable and she can win him over easily with her devotion and loyalty. He in turn will give her a strong shoulder to lean on.

Sagittarius woman: 4/10: Trouble is likely to brew between the two, after the courtship period. The essential differences in their personalities will make them take offence at the drop of a hat. Overall, a difficult relationship!

Capricorn woman: 7/10: This relationship can go a long way. Both are intense and dependable by nature, with the right amount of humour. But he will have to rein his hovering eye, while she will have to be a little less possessive. The only thing that can make this relationship work is effective communication.

Aquarius woman: 4/10: Both would require putting in extra efforts to make this alliance work. A Capricorn man may find the Aquarian free spirit and feminism a bit too much to take to.

Pisces woman: 9/10: Whoa! Now we’re talking! This is a woman the Capricorn guy will love since she will never try to dominate him. She can be completely feminine and dependant on him and he is capable of taking care of her fragile self (a role she enjoys playing even if that’s not her true self in some cases.) This relationship would be ideal.

All about Capricorn Women

– December 22 to January 19

 

Introduction:

A cool breeze wrapping you up on a sunny day or a hot mug of coffee spreading warmth on a rain drenched evening… if you are familiar with these experiences, you would know what to expect from a Capricorn woman. She is warm, friendly, easy to be with and compassionate; the kind of person who instantly strikes you as ‘nice’.

A Capricorn woman is innately nice and warm which makes her friendliness genuine; there is nothing put on about her attitude. She makes it her business to keep everybody around her comfortable, albeit in a graceful way.

How to identify a Capricorn woman in a crowd?

 

A lively and bubbly woman gliding across gracefully, with a warm smile for everyone… this one’s got to be a Capricorn female. These women have the natural quality of standing out in a crowd with their liveliness and good humour without being over the top.

A Capricorn woman is always subtle, be it her words or behaviour. While deep in conversation, she will be totally absorbed and attentive towards the subject and will hardly notice the presence of a stranger in the crowd. But if she catches you staring at her, she is very likely to blush with self-consciousness… a blush that easily melts into a smile as she is artlessly friendly and approachable.

What are the finer traits of her personality?

A heart-winning quality that Capricorn women possess is simplicity. Beneath all kinds of outer facades lies a simple and non-materialistic heart. However, lack of materialism does not necessarily make her desire-less, on the contrary, she aspires to all things good and wants the best for herself and her loved ones. She is also a ‘quality’ over ‘quantity’ woman, so don’t be surprised if the Capricorn woman in your life prefers having a single pair of branded shoes rather than six non-tagged or average quality ones.

Capricorn women are high on emotions and can get high with emotions. But the strong practical front of their personality evens out the towering emotional quotient. Pragmatic in every approach towards life, a Capricorn woman is often engaged in thinking out the how’s and why’s of life’s many mysteries. Her practical nature helps her strike a balance and not go over-board with emotions.

What does she look for in a man?

It is strange yet true that the docile Capricorn woman gets turned on by aggressive and powerful men (in strength, attributes or attitude). I guess this is a case of opposite attracts!

She is often attracted towards tall muscular men (who exude power). This can be said to stem from her need to be protected. In a relationship, she desires protection and security. And brawn can easily represent all that. However, you don’t always get what you see and she is well aware of that.

How is a Capricorn woman when in love?

Given her intense devotion for her family, a Capricorn woman can turn drastically once she finds the love of her life. Once she falls in love, she does so blindly. For her love she will be ready to battle it out with her family – the very family that she adores.

Moreover, her love comes with no conditions attached. She will go to great lengths to attain her love. Falling in love is a calculated risk and she is ready to plunge into a commitment without bothering to confirm if it is all worth it. And if at all her instinct goes wrong, she has enough pride not to go back to her family or seek assistance from them.

How does she deal with her emotions?

Her face is a reflection of her emotions as she is not very good at hiding them. At times she comes across as emotionless and cold, but if one is able to penetrate this barrier, her emotions flow like music where there is no need for words. And a smile is enough to brighten her countenance.

A Capricorn woman has great inner strength; she is resilient and determined in her actions. At the same time she is not entirely emotionally independent. And this is one of her dark secrets. In spite of her pragmatism and belief in her independence, she needs the support of a man. She always gives her spouse or the man in her life ample of space. And although she likes to believe that she too requires this space, she actually wants her man to protect her always. She needs a strong shoulder to lean on and a protective cocoon to live in.

Is there something more to her persona?

She has a low battery life; her energy store is rather limited. She is too lazy to help herself but when it comes to others she will use the last ounce of her energy to help them especially family and loved ones. She does manage to recharge her batteries for things she likes to do though could be a late night movie or outing or to please her loved ones.

Capricorn women are known to grow younger with age. That is because the child in her is hiding just below the surface, playful and ever ready to spring into action. This child-like quality makes her as appealing to a three year old child as to a sixty year old. Being warm and friendly towards people of all age groups comes naturally to a Capricorn woman.

How is she on the following aspects?

Appearance: At first go you may find a dull and distant look in a Capricorn woman’s eyes. Her complexion too (50 per cent of them) is slightly pale and her demeanour cold. But that’s just the surface . . .a moment of familiarity and she will award you with the warmest smile, a glow in her eyes that sparkle and speak to you in the friendliest manner.  

A Capricorn woman is very impulsive in her dressing. She believes in creating her own fashion statement rather than blindly following trends and she usually succeeds in doing so. You will usually find her happy, no matter what the circumstance  She is also vivacious and animated in conversation. She belongs to that category of women who don’t require getting dolled up to get noticed.The warmth of her usual self is enough to attract people towards her.

Ego/Self-respect: She is high on self-respect. She believes in maintaining her self-esteem in any given situation. This may arise from her innate lack of confidence or her overly submissive nature. She clearly does not wish to indulge in any act that may further tone down her confidence level. But that is not to say she doesn’t have an ego. But usually she is rather careful of displaying it and often camouflages it by her show of self-respect.

But no matter how much she hides it…it manages to butt in. Usually in situations like quarrels and disagreements, she finds it difficult to patch up or apologize (especially as she has already put her foot in her mouth).

Compatibility quotient:

A Capricorn woman is friendly and easy to be with but that doesn’t make her compatible with all. When it comes to love and long-term relationship, one needs to understand the complete behavioural traits of two individuals. With a Capricorn woman on one side of the scales, let’s see who has the capacity to ‘weight’ it out on the other.

Capricorn woman and…

Aries man: 9/10. The Aries man is the kind of guy who can sweep women of their feet; add to that his chivalrous nature and fondness for grandeur which the Capricorn secretly likes, and she’ll gladly gives in. Her being naturally submissive and patient, can work in favour of this relationship. The Arien however will have to keep a check on his unruly temper and tongue. Other than that everything a Capricorn woman can dream of, from romance to passion, and what she wants her man to be or do is found in an Arien man. The Aries man would play the perfect Romeo to our Capricorn Juliet, with the fire burning bright throughout the course of this relationship.

Taurus man: 8/10. This relationship can be for keeps. Both are responsible and dependable and hence will be able to take care of each other. He is romantic and she is mature enough to effectively manage matters of the heart and home. Some Taurus men can be chauvinists and that could be a big no-no. But other than that love could blossom here.

Gemini man: 6/10. A difficult, yet not impossible match. He is too fond of his freedom to give her emotional need its due. He is also a lady charmer, which can leave her frustrated. She would need to accept his love for freedom and he would have to be patient with her to work this out. His diplomatic tricks are a turn-off for her as she looks for genuineness. Once he gives in and surrenders she can be cool about most things with him.

Cancer man: 6/10. Although it kick-starts as an intense affair, it is not likely to be fruitful in the long run. While each may find the other attractive, it is not necessarily a lasting impression. The major hitch here would be lack of communication. Also, a Cancerian man is a mix of conservative and liberal ideas which would leave her confused as she always seeks clarity and direction when making commitments.

Leo man: 6/10. Between a Capricorn girl and a Leo guy, understanding is the key. If they understand each other, their relationship will work. She may find his extravagance and attention hogging nature a little too much to take, while he may be impatient with her lack of expression.

Virgo man: 7/10.  A Virgo man might be the answer to a Capricorn girl’s need for security but that is if he knows how to share and also be graceful. While he will have to keep his flirting nature under strict check, her intense attitude will bring the best of his emotions to the forefront. However, he will have to make sure he gets his priorities in order and not take advantage of the cool Capricorn. She needs love and emotional security at all times!

Libra man: 7/10. This relationship can swing both ways. Both are too dissimilar for a long lasting relationship. He attracts too much female attention which she dislikes, and he is too disorganized which she can’t stand. But perhaps both can tweak their natures to suit each other and make a relationship possible. If he turns out to be a guy who is not just a dreamer but also an achiever/provider, she could find solace.

Scorpio man: 8/10. A Scorpio man can bring a Capricorn woman’s feelings out in the open, thanks to his vivacity, while she will make him feel secure with her devotion and loyalty. In a way, they complement each other wonderfully. On passion (not romance/love) front however the Capricorn woman will have to keep up with him for a lifetime which I am not very sure she is capable of.

Sagittarius man: 8/10: An amazing start and this relationship would be one helluva roller coaster ride. However, this duo can see a lot of problems once the initial courtship is over. A lot of compromises would be required to make this relationship a success. But his knowledge, philosophies and visionary nature do match her intellectual self.

Capricorn man: 7/10: Many of the stronger traits of both males and females under the Capricorn sign are common. That’s why this relationship can work wonders. However, both should learn to emote and express themselves. Only when they are communicative will they be able to reach out to each other. Otherwise, it would be one boring, romance-less relationship.

Aquarius man: 8/10: A relationship between these two will blossom like friendship. The easy and outgoing nature of an Aquarian can gel well with the steady and cautious Capricorn girl.

Pisces man: 8/10: The Piscean is intense, dreamy and spiritual and this concoction is just right to suit the tastes of a Capricorn girl. She is reliable, trusting and loyal, which makes her appealing to him. She has the capacity to believe in his dreams and with such support he is quite sure of fulfilling them. However he must not lose her along the path while pursuing his dreams as she could find herself lost and disheartened.

What Goes Around Comes Around

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her.

Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was those chills which only fear can put in you. He said, “I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.”

Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.

As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid.

Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need, and God knows there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.

He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me.”

He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.

A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat, and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her. The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that even being on her feet for the whole day couldn’t erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.

After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill, but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin.

There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: “You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do, do not let this chain of love end with you.” Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.

Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard… She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.”

There is an old saying “What goes around comes around.”

The Trouble Tree

The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start.

While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet the family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.

After opening the door, he underwent an amazing transformation. His face was wreathed in smiles, and he hugged his two small children and then gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward, he walked me to my car. We passed the tree, and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.

“Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he replied. “I know I can’t help having troubles on the job, but one thing for sure, troubles don’t belong in the house with my wife and children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning, I pick them up again.”

“Funny thing is,” he smiled, “when I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren’t nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before.”

Amazing thoughts for the Day daily quotes

Life is how you look at

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same

hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an

hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from

his lungs.

His bed was next to the room's only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on

his back.

The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their

homes, their jobs, their involvement in the

military service, where they had been on

vacation..

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the

window could sit up, he would pass the time by

describing to his roommate all the things he could

see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those

one hour periods where his world would be

broadened and enlivened by all the activity and

colour of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.

Ducks and swans played on the water while

children sailed their model boats. Young lovers

walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every colour

and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen

in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in

exquisite details, the man on the other side of

the room would close his eyes and imagine this

picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window

described a parade passing by.

Although the other man could not hear the band -

he could see it in his mind's eye as the

gentleman by the window portrayed it with

descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring

water for their baths only to find the lifeless body

of the man by the window, who had died

peacefully in his sleep.

She was saddened and called the hospital

attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man

asked if he could be moved next to the window.

The nurse was happy to make the switch, and

after making sure he was comfortable, she left

him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one

elbow to take his first look at the real world

outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window

besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have

compelled his deceased roommate who had

described such wonderful things outside this

window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and

could not even see the wall.

She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage

you.'

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others

happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness

when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things

you have that money can't buy.

'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The

Present .'
