Hi All!

I am trying to find out someones sun sign without asking them. I am thinking he may be an earth sign (based on personality) but his physical characteristcs appear more air than earth (very tall, kind of lanky, but good form)

Here are some characteristics I have noticed:

*Seems selective with the people he associates with
*Talkative when inquired-but definately doesn't make a strenous effort to make the first moves (some people see him as a loner initially, but he never appeared that way to me)
*Appears to be "solid" and competent-never appears to worry (emotionally constant)
Warm, but very competent
*Kind of "sneaks" his way around-meaning he flies under the radar a bit
...And incase anyone needs more info, he seems to exhibit a paternal attitude (not in a patronizing way) towards select people

I am thinking Capricorn b/c of his seriousness and sly wit. But then, I am thinking Taurus as well....b/c of that basic sense of calmness yet warm personality.

It's kind of a shame that I am confused about whether he could be a Cap since I am one!

I would love some responses/input!

I knew a triple capricorn and although I liked him, I found him very authoritarian and a bit dry. He also talked about making money all the time.

Also big knees and ankles I have noticed. They tend to also be quite dark, often with curly hair.

They can be very meticulous too.

Although this is about ASCs, it can be used for suns as well:

You know when people sometimes say "he (or she)is my rock. That's how I see Capricorn (in sun/moon or asc).. They seem like the perfect canditate to be *your rock* lol ..I'm biased though.

'very tall' is totally Capricorn.. but kinda lanky sounds more like Aqua.. He could always have an Aquarius Venus.

You've described him as being very Capricornian. He could appear warm partly because you're a Capricorn yourself - Most people seem warm to us (when compared with ourselves).

Sly wit kind of indicates the presence of Air.

He could very well be a Sag, Cap, or Aqua. A Sag with Capricorn Ascendant is much more mute than a Sag of a different ascendant. I'm a Cap with Gemini Ascendant, and people (especially earth signs) would view me the way you do him. (Would people describe you similarly?) Quieter Aquas would also seem to fit that description well.

You could also just ask his birthday. That's not generally too threatening a question.

That couldn't have been said better!

His AC sounds Capricornian enough (I'm a Cap with a Cap AC) with that competenent and calm combination. The trouble is, Cap ACs will put that image on to keep negative attention away from themselves, so you don't know if either of these is truly him.

AG's advice would really work best though, just find a pretext to ask him his b-day.

I noticed Cappy men to be serious in their dealings - they might find it not too easy to let go. Unemotional and very formal, even in friendships.
Cappies are known for their dry sense of humour though. (Serious people do have a good sense of humour)

My ASC is in Capricorn, and I have strong saturn influence in my chart.

My Cappy Instructor from this comedy workshop that I am taking is always talking about fear and conquering your fears. he also talks about writing clean jokes and that they have to be appropriate jokes to do in front of corperations.

He does appear somewhat distant and aloof when i go ask him a few questions. He loves his work and travels around alot to do his act.

His wife usually accompanies him one his business trips and seems to be a nice lady.

And he is always talking about structure and the mechanics of writing...to have discipline to do stuff.

Thanks everyone for your imput!

I am a cap, and everything I seem to read has us labeled as "cold" and "distant" but I am not that way (most of the time, probably b/c of my asc) and he does not seem that way either.

Acoustic, I really agree with your comment: "You've described him as being very Capricornian. He could appear warm partly because you're a Capricorn yourself - Most people seem warm to us (when compared with ourselves)."

I wanted to test myself to see if I was learning anything at all about spotting a sign just by analyzing personality and to some degree, looks too.

I know it's an age old debate but, which sign really shows the way you appear to to others? I've read the Asc mostly does (for me, this is true of false depending on the person's attitude towards me). This thread quickly went into ASC's and then I got confused!

So what do you all think??

**Also, Acoustic, since we seem to have alot of aspects in common, how are you merging your cap sun with your gem asc? I feel like sometimes people are confused by me since I am sometimes thought of as immature or "silly" but I am really not. Then others say I am "basically serious" and do not notice my more lighthearted side. Have you experienced this? What is your moon sign?

I've got a question myself...what physical/mental attributes does a CAPRICORN moon endow on a male?

ooooo no no no - caps are often socialite types - you can’t clime the social ladder being shy...they're the ones with all the friends ( that are richer than them )...my experience anyway.

It's supposed to be your Ascendant, but I know for myself that I probably don't appear like a Gemini. Capricorn and Gemini are so different from one another it would be difficult to sustain appearing like a Gemini all the time.

Merging the two is tough. Gemini makes us indecisive, and that sucks for us. However, it also makes us brilliant and much more multi-faceted. I think the merging of the two for success may require commitment. Gemini is so easily distracted and wants to keep every option open, but I think that when we stop and make a goal and keep at it, then we'll be able to enjoy Capricorn and Gemini together. Capricorn keeps us moving forward, and Gemini makes us master adapters, so it's just a matter of focusing that energy somewhere. Ultimately, Capricorn has to be the boss, and Capricornian discipline becomes a way for us to commit.

Ok this is alittle off topic, but is it typical of Capricorn men to come on strong and blunt to a woman?

libraschoice7: YES! The straightforward, no-nonsense, deliberate attitude applies to love life as well. Capricorn wouldn't beat around the bush like a Cancer or Pisces would.

To answer the original question....

1. Capricorns r really selective about the people they associate with. The selection criteria may depend on the type of cappy u r dealing with...for me it means genuine, warm, intelligent people. For other cappy's it might mean ppl who can help them become successful

2. Capricorns like emotional stability. That does not mean a total lack of emotion. It just means emotional control over themselves.

3. Capricorns look for security. So u usually wont find them making flighty plans or going for too many thrills.

4. They r not exactly stingy, (hehe...i'd like to think). They like things tht hv quality. Infact, the one word tht i can think of when i think cappy, is QUALITY. quality of people, quality of life...the spell class.

Ok, i'll stop being a narcisst now and let others say wht they think abt this

I was wondering because a few years back when I use to go club hopping alot, I had a couple a Capricorn guys that fragrantly hit on me. One actually had the guts to come right out and ask me right on the dance floor if I would go 'home' with him, I couldn't believe how blunt he was!

That's a cute mistake. It's "flagrantly".

"Fragrant" is having a nice smell, which I'd hope the Cap had as well.

Not all Caps are THAT straight forward, though under the influence of alcohol they might be.

I'm a day after Christmas Capricorn. I'm a whole lot of fun when I'm drunk. Very flirtacious.

When sober, I'm a very cautious flirt. Still kind of straightforward, but very careful.

Hello everyone, I am a Virgo, and my husband is a Capricorn. He is almost a cusp baby, being born on Dec. 24. Sometimes I really think he has some of the Sag traits. He is tall and in good shape. A strenous worker that tries to outdo himself. He will get up and wait for the sun to come up so he can start to work. He is so driven. He appears to be cold hearted at first and it is very hard to win his heart. He never forgets a grudge, although He will not admit it. He is a wonderful lover and knows it. He will play with your heart and never think he has done anything wrong. He has large hands and feet and his knees is a weakness. He is clean, but just doesn't care to wear dress up clothes unless he has too. He Pretends not to hear anything that would make him do something that he doesn't want to do. It took me 10 years to get a brick mailbox built and he is a brickmason! He tend to believe he will live forever, and never takes the time or money for his own enjoyment. He is a good man, but I sure don't want to get hooked up with another one! Enough!

------------------
A true Virgo!

Yes, I agree, its probably the bit of sag (all out risk taking) in there in him thats making him do that

Everything except the flagrant/bold parts that was said applies. Otherwise if you have something specific in mind I could answer it.

They're quite calm, older than their age and like money and good quality food.
