Common misconceptions about Capricorns

I am a proud Capricorn born on December 30th, 1994. Nothing bothers me more than logging onto facebook and seeing jacked up meme after jacked up meme about Capricorns. Although Capricorns are well known as the most serious-minded of all the signs, we have and incredible sense of humor and it's always overlooked. We are known to be hilarious, with a notable knack for saying the most clever things at just the right moment. The downfall is that Capricorns have to be the most misunderstood, and ill treated of all of the signs.


Capricorns are cold-hearted. Don't be fooled by "RBF" although we may look evil typically Capricorns are very sweet in nature.

Capricorns are boring and serious all the time. Capricorns can be shy at first and don't have much to say this sometimes comes off as self-centered or standoffish, however, we love to have fun when it's time to have fun! Capricorns are hard workers when it's time to work its time to work as we are disciplined. Although there's an underlying seriousness that never leaves us we are also hilarious!

Capricorns are money hungry. A lot of people perceive Capricorns to be money hungry however we tend to get rich because we are extremely hard working and motivated by the fear of failure or doing without. As a result, many Capricorns make it a point to do well for themselves.

We are ruthless in their ambition and will not stop until they get what they want. Is there such thing as being too ambitious? NO, I don't think so it's because of our ambition that we always come out on top. We work extremely hard in order to provide for the people we love Capricorns value family and friendships.

Caps have a suspicious nature and think everyone is out to get them.Capricorns do have a suspicious nature however it's because we shy away from abandonment and being hurt. Under the surface, we are very emotional and sensitive. Capricorns also tend to have a good judge of character if we say you're a clown and up to no good 9 times out of 10 you are indeed a clown and up to no good. We tend to stay out of unnecessary drama that way.

Caps are their own worst enemies. Capricorns are very intellectual, calculating, and always have a plan to the point where we think and overthink every little thing. We are also so ambitious that we tend to push ourselves harder than anyone else.


I'm a Capricorn and I'm a Pessimistic Percy. Capricorns are said to be born pessimist and a Debbie downer to others. We can be so realistic to the point of pessimism, we overly anticipate the bad things in life, and have a tendency not to expect positive outcomes. We are realists, not Debbie Downers or pessimistic Percy's.

Caps will stick with relationships out of a sense of duty and obligation. Capricorns are loyal to a fault we truly ride for the people we care about. When the going gets tough you can always count on a Capricorn to hold you down.


Stubborn People believe that Capricorns have a "their way or the highway" (scratch that there is no highway option) attitude and that we will seldom change our standpoints and outlooks on something. What others see as stubborn I see as firm in my convictions.


Moody According to Horoscope readings, the Goats can be funny and clever at one moment but annoyed the next. Needless to say, those mood swings are able to make them behave irresponsibly that may ruin anything. I personally get accused of being moody all the time when I'm not feeling any type of way at all or when I just need to be left alone with my thoughts or when. Asking me to adjust my mood is like asking me to be fake and not happening.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
