Sun Sign: Capricorn
What is a sun sign? The position of the sun in your birth chart governs your individuality, your distinctive style and your drive to fulfill your goals in life. The sun sign is just a broad generalized version of your personality and although it is the sign most often used for horoscopes and readings, it is not necessarily an accurate representation of your personality. It is the combination of all your signs and planets that describe and explain the complicated human personality. I for one do not relate much to my sun sign. Since I was born on the cusp of Sagittarius and Capricorn and have my moon in Sagittarius, I feel a much stronger relation to Sagittarians than Capricorns. However, I realize that my sun sign does have a pull on my nature (one which is almost constantly at odds with the other pulls on my nature:) so here is the definition (a short version of it anyway) given in THE ONLY ASTROLOGY BOOK YOU'LL EVER NEED:
Capricorns are ambitious, and the lives of those born under this sign are marked by a purposeful pursuit of their destiny. Your motivating force is desire for success, money, status, position, authority, and (though you may not realize it) love.
An aura of melancholy and sterness often surrounds you. Saturn (your ruling planet) has been called the Celestial Taskmaster for it symbolizes responsibility, discipline and restriction. You think of yourself as a real person in a real world which allows little time for idle pleasure-seeking. You have a sense of purpose and a great faith in your own ability. Essentially, you feel you can depend only on yourself. This remoteness of spirit is often misunderstood by others; it has been described as cold passion. But you are not cold so much as self-sufficient. Beneath your reserve there is a sensitive and sympathetic person, and anyone who needs a strong shoulder to lean on needn't look further than Capricorn.
Your basic concern is for security. That goal comes first and you are usually somewhat materialistic. You can be spiteful toward those who stand in the way. You have a great sense of pride and will not forgive anyone who belittles or slights you. By the same token you will repay favors done for you. Scorpios also go out of their way to repay a kindness, but in their case it is done out of a sense of gratitude and fidelity. With you the motivation is pride, which does not allow you to live comfortably under an obligation.
In most relationships you must dominate, because when you are in control you do not feel vulnerable to another person's power. In small ways you re continually testing the loyalty of those close to you. You are the loner of the zodiac, but have a great need to be loved and appreciated. Unfortunately, you won't let this need be known--in fact, you are a past master at concealing it.
Underneath your mask, you wear still other masks, and it can take a long time to discover the real you. To others you may appear aloof, indifferent, hard to reach because you are so self-contained. But the very elusiveness of your Capricorn personality can be hypnotically attractive.
Anyone who cares enough to penetrate your shell of reserve will be greatly rewarded. Your affections and loyalty run deep, an you cherish and protect those you love. And you stick around when the going gets tough.
