You prefer to be in control and, consequently, like to give orders rather than take them. Your influence over the lives of young people and those who are building their own lives can be quite powerful. You are always ready to help others and will do what you can to assist those who are less fortunate. As a friend you are loyal and trustworthy. However, you also expect others to live up to your high standards. You think highly of yourself and have a tendency to feel superior to others. Sometimes you think you know what is best for everyone and can't understand it if people don't always follow your lead. Consequently, many of your closest associates are "followers" rather than "leaders" like yourself. The female Capricorn has more patience than the male. She strives to do her best for her family and finds no sacrifice too great. Unless she is partnered with an understanding mate she may become downtrodden. Although the Capricorn person is sometimes judged as being self-centered, sacrifice for others is not uncommon. You seek respect more than love and fear more than friendship.
