The specific food you need in your diet, Capricorn…
You’ve seen all the eat this, not that lists. But how about some recommendations just for you? Your Capricorn digestive system is unique. You need more calcium to help your joints, too. Make sure these foods end up on your plate several times a week. If you can eat most daily, bravo!
Diet staples for Capricorns: dark leafy greens, low-fat dairy (milk and yogurt), citrus fruits, figs, most green vegetables (especially if eaten raw), nuts, whole wheat, eggs, chicken breast, salmon, sweet potatoes, oats, and quinoa.
Your key to goal attainment…
Capricorns have an understated way of showing they care about people—but one of the most striking ways they do so is by making people realize their full potential and the positive possibilities in front of them. Having a Cap by one’s side is the key to succeeding at a goal. After all, few big accomplishments are possible by going it alone. So, Goats, whoever you’d like to see achieve their dreams, make sure you are not only a cheerleader but a direct helper along their journey!
What Caps should never do in a job interview…
Capricorns seem like shoe-ins when they score interviews. But there are some very off-putting things Goats can say or do in front of the potential employer. So, next time you consider a new job, don’t do these…
You may have trouble working with these signs…
Capricorns can work with anyone, because they have a solid work ethic and are able to focus on the tasks at hand. But that’s not to say you like to work with everyone. Here are the signs to be weary of, and ideas for how to keep the peace between you.
Gemini: You don’t like that they can be hard to figure out and a little too silly. They don’t like that you’re “too serious” and controlling. Learn to appreciate their quirks—being a little goofier might actually be fun for you.
Leo: You can’t stand a show-off… especially when you don’t think they live up to their hype. They need the attention and might try to steal some of your ideas. Be strong and silent around them. Listen but never feed into their gossip or brain-picking.
Cancer: Their outward displays of warmth and sensitivity can get on your nerves, as your “coldness” might get on theirs. Be the father to their mother… firm but fair. And allow them to be emotional. It’s not your problem, really.
This Goat no-no might cost you that raise or promotion…
Do you ever feel like you are pulling way more weight than is fair? Or do you just love putting in the long hours—maybe overspending time doing personal things like seeing friends and loved ones, going out to eat at a reasonable hour, etc. Well, a little self-sacrificing can lead to burn out, build a wall between you and others, and even cost you advancement because you’re just too independent and could seem to be a live wire ready to explode if it all gets to be too much.
So, what to do? It’s easy! Relax. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Focus on doing things well over taking on everything. Spend time with those who really matter and will help refresh you during time off… pets, friends, family, even “you” time. You’re worth it—and that work perk!
Wise Words from Famous Sea Goats
Here are some of the best words, from funny to profound, from Goat stars:
“I’ve always liked Saturn. But I also have some sympathy for Pluto because I heard it’s been downgraded from a planet, and I think it should remain a planet. Once you’ve given something planetary status it’s kind of mean to take it away.” – Jared Leto
“Life’s too short to deal with other people’s insecurities.” – Anthony Hopkins
“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” – Dolly Parton
“They’re funny things, Accidents. You never have them till you’re having them.” – A. A. Milne
“Fish and visitors stink after three days.” – Benjamin Franklin
“The very essence of the creative is its novelty, and hence we have no standard by which to judge it.” – Carl Rogers
“My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can.” – Cary Grant
“We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.” – E. M. Forster
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
These famous Capricorns had major red carpet mess-ups!
People think Capricorns are sort of boring in the fashion department. Well here’s proof that’s a total misconception!
Marilyn Manson. Rainbow leopard leisure suit, siren red tresses, and a date in a see-through dress? YIKES!
Rod Stewart. He really lived up those 80s trends back when he was with model Rachel Hunter. Bright purple, polka dots, mix in some pin stripes, plaid, and a winged collar… and don’t forget his “timeless” shaggy, spiky hair!
January Jones. Sure, this Mad Men beauty can rock the red carpet, too, but let’s not forget the 2013 Met Gala scariness… weird sparkly black eye liner, part-braid-part faux-hawk, heavy, full-coverage metallic black gown. It wasn’t Halloween!
These Cap celebrities are workaholics…
Everyone knows Capricorns work hard and are determined to succeed. But these Goats took it to an extreme and hold multiple highly successful careers!
Ryan Seacrest: DJ, radio personality, TV show host, award show host, producer… he’s been nominated for several Emmys and won one for producing.
Jared Leto: He started as a TV star, switched over to lead singer of a popular rock band (and writes songs, too) while doing major films, and recently won an Oscar! He’s also a director, producer, activist, and philanthropist.
Zooey Deschanel: She’s an actress both on the big and TV screen, musician, has graced many ads and magazines for her quirky yet sexy persona, and is also a song writer.
What few know Capricorns can do so well…
So, all Capricorns are practical, serious workaholics, right? Totally wrong! Caps might get a reputation for being too stuck in routine, stubborn, and, well, kind of boring. But anyone making that judgment just hasn’t been lucky enough to see the real Goat!
Capricorns are incredibly creative. Their artistic side is often stifled because most fields in the arts don’t pay enough to make a decent living or even get by on. But you can find Capricorns lost in painting, outside taking amazing photos, and creating other unique masterpieces with their own two hands and imagination. So, don’t sell yourself or another Capricorn short—art runs in their blood!
Capricorns must avoid committing this self-sin…
Capricorns fear rejection more than just about anything. But are you constantly rejecting yourself? Capricorns are notorious for being their own worst critics. This can be damaging to your work output (you doubt your abilities and overthink), your health, and your reputation. No one likes someone who’s down on themselves—especially someone who claims to be the best. You are the best. Own it!
It’s good to celebrate not only your major accomplishments, but your little victories as well. Sometimes you will go through tough times. You may lose an account, a project, or even a job. Little joys are abundant, though. Next time you make even a baby step at work or in your finances, be proud!
