Capricorns will never admit why they’re powerful and successful. After all, they’re the prime example of a person who lets their results speak for themselves. Their results are usually loud and undeniable of the fact that Capricorns are hardworking and resilient.

But everyone knows that about a Capricorn, because that’s what a Capricorn wants you to know and see about them. But have you ever wondered about a Capricorn’s origin story? Have you ever looked past the success and asked why Capricorns are the way they are?

Ironically, a Capricorn’s hard work and resilience will tell you what a Capricorn will never tell you unless they're close to you: They’re soft, raw, and vulnerable - and this fact needs to be hidden away with success and power, which are good distractions.

Most people struggle with being strong. Capricorns are the opposite. They struggle with being weak. It’s easy for a Capricorn to save face, but harder for them to save themselves. Capricorns suffer alone, yet want someone to see them as they are.

However, Capricorns are shy! You may think of them as people who are unconcerned with what people think of them, but Capricorns can only do that if they have enough self-made success stories to distract themselves from the fact that they deserve love and intimacy too.

Love is enigmatic to Capricorns. Capricorns are masters of longevity, for they’ve mastered success, resilience, and investment. But all of these factors can be done alone, but love is something mastered with others.

Capricorns are fascinated, yet scared of love because while love is compelling and attractive, it threatens the foundation they’ve created themselves with: life is best done alone, and it’s the only way. Love defies that. Love proposes that life is best done with others.

Capricorns are not only survivors. They thrive. However, they already know this. But what they don’t know is this: They don’t need to echo the world in everything they do, which also means that they don’t have to constantly be in the spot of being the “world’s spokesperson.”

While Capricorns have molded the role of being the one that’s always put together, they’re also tired of being put together. Capricorns are observant, mindful, and careful to the point where it’s exhausting. They’d rather examine than to trust. They can't afford to be naive.

However, Capricorns wonder what the world would look like if they chose to be what they fear to be: naive and gullible. Would the world crash and burn, and would they get punished for that? Or, would the world do just fine because the world doesn’t actually need them?
