Capricorn (Makar): Personality, Love, Career & Remedies

Capricorn (Makar) is ruled by Saturn, the taskmaster — disciplined, ambitious and built for the long climb. Capricorns are patient, responsible and quietly determined, willing to do the hard, unglamorous work that builds lasting success.

That seriousness can become pessimism or workaholism. At their best, Capricorns are the reliable achievers who reach the summit and bring their people with them.
