This astrological sign’s reputation for being icy precedes it.

Capricorns are said to be tough, icy, a killjoy, and married to their jobs: they don’t exactly inspire dreams. At least, that’s what astrological gossip suggests. If they often seem haughty at first, it’s because Capricorns are masters of reserve. They err on the side of modesty and, inevitably, carry a reputation as “snow queens.” Deep down, this Earth sign, born in the heart of winter, demonstrates the inherent prudence of its astrological sign. It doesn’t open up easily, but when it does, it truly matters.
