The sign of the high roller, Capricorn is regarded as the Zodiac’s top, but also quiet, life and business achievers. But there are two very different types of Capricorns.
The first is represented by the mountain goat, always climbing higher and higher, never content until reaching the top. The second is the garden goat, with little adventurous spirit or ambition – happy to remain within a small domain, refusing to budge unless it is pushed. Either type of Capricorn, however, is patient and persevering. They reach their goals because they know the longest journey commences with a single step and that the first step is always the most difficult.
