Capricorns are reliable, prudent, careful and patient. They are apt to be loners, spurred by a single-minded ambition. Their progress may be slow, but it is sure. They are seldom driven by a desire only for money, nor do they take much pleasure in fleeting success. They have a strong desire to be somebody, to make their mark and above all to be remembered. Being precise and calculating, they leave no room for error. They are not likely to request help from others, as they are confident of their own ability. Capricorns are so insular by nature that they can lose touch with people around them. Their tendency to be of few words can make others feel uncomfortable around them. In love, the Capricorn man expects his partner to be totally devoted to him alone. He prefers younger, naive women whom he can manipulate to suit his needs. The female Capricorn also likes to be in control. She is leery of falling for someone who is not able to meet her standards. In marriage, she will be true, as long as her mate keeps up his side of the bargain.
