Ambitious is the word used and it is lazy. What is actually going on is that you do not expect anybody to do it for you.
The basics
Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac, cardinal earth, symbol the Sea-Goat, ruled by Saturn. Cardinal earth starts things in the material world, which means starting the things that then have to be paid for. Its opposite sign is Cancer.
When the Sun is actually in Capricorn
The Sun enters Capricorn on 21 or 22 December and leaves for Aquarius on 19 or 20 January. The dates are not fixed, and the reason is accounting. The orbit costs about six hours more than the calendar budgets for it, and the leap day is the correction.
Computed from the same ephemeris this site uses for its birth charts, here is where it actually fell across the eleven years 2020 to 2030: the 21th in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025, 2026, 2028, 2029 and 2030; the 22th in 2023 and 2027. In 2026 the crossing was at 21 December 20:50 UTC.
Sagittarius comes before it and Aquarius after. The 21st and 22nd of December, and the 19th and 20th of January, are the undecided days. On those the sign comes out of the arithmetic rather than off a list.
What Capricorn is actually like
Saturn rules Capricorn, and Saturn is time, limit and consequence. You have an unusually accurate sense of what things really cost, which makes you look pessimistic to people whose estimates have never been tested.
Cardinal earth means you initiate in the material world: you start the thing that then has to be built, maintained and paid for. You are the person who asks who is actually doing this. The question is never welcome and always necessary.
You got older early. Most Capricorns describe a childhood with some adult responsibility in it, and the tradition says the sign ages backwards: heavy young, considerably lighter later. That second half is real and very few people stay around to tell you about it.
The part the lists leave out
You equate rest with slipping. Not consciously, but the arithmetic runs underneath everything, so you are tired in a way that has little to do with how much you did today. You will treat a day off as a debt.
You also do not ask, ever, and you have built a life in which not asking works, which removes the one pressure that would have made you learn. The people around you would help. They have stopped offering because you have declined so consistently.
Capricorn in love
You commit properly and slowly, and you are more romantic than you let on, in practical form: the thing arranged, the problem quietly removed, the long provision made. You will not announce any of it.
Your risk is treating a relationship as something to be maintained rather than enjoyed, and maintenance is a thing you are extremely good at. It can keep something running for years after the enjoying stopped.
Your sun sign is not your chart
If the seriousness fitted and the ambition did not, the tradition would say you are reading the wrong word. The Sun is one body out of ten, and it is the only one a date on its own can find.
The Moon and the Rising both need the hour, which is why most people have never seen theirs, and why a Capricorn who recognises none of the above is usually looking at the wrong placement. Your Big Three works out all three, free, and the arithmetic runs on your own device.
Reserved and quite private. Saturn rules the sign, and the affection tends to arrive as something arranged or quietly handled rather than something announced.
What does it mean that Capricorn ages backwards?
It is a traditional reading of Saturn: heavy early, lighter later. Most Capricorns report some adult responsibility in childhood and a noticeably easier second half.
What are the Capricorn dates?
The Sun is in Capricorn from 21 or 22 December to 19 or 20 January. Both ends move by a day with the year, so a birthday on the 21th or the 22rd of December has to be worked out from the year and the hour rather than read off a table.
What is the opposite sign to Capricorn?
Cancer. The axis runs between what you are expected to become and where you came from, and a Capricorn Sun often registers the first long before it looks at the second.
