CAPRICORN RISING

Does he have Capricorn Rising? He always seems grounded, down to earth and sensible – even when he’s trying to be really weird and interesting. Whatever his Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and/or Mars sign, Capricorn Rising always appears to have his feet solidly planted on the ground. He seems ambitious too. He either wants to make it to the top or he’s already on his way.

This one seems awfully serious. When his face is relaxed, it tends to look slightly grim. On the plus side, he often uses this deadpan expression to make his jokes funnier. As they age, they can become craggy, and you may notice a slight Easter Island statue vibe in photographs!

Capricorn Rising gives the impression that he is in it for the long haul too – particularly in his career, but also in his relationships. There is a tremendous sense of permanence and Eveready battery reliability about Capricorn Rising, as if once he has planted himself somewhere he is never actually going to go away. This Ascendant makes a man seem solid, immovable, hard to shake – and impossible to distract. A steady gaze and a solid pair of boots are often his trademark.

Capricorn Rising always seems as if he’s been around a bit, even when he’s young. When he’s on a downer, though, he can project so much darkness (and take himself so seriously) that you may want to consider emigrating to somewhere (or someone) sunnier. Men who dislike Capricorn Rising (usually for his naked ambition) tend to criticise him on the basis that he spends far too long gazing at his own belly button or inhabiting the Extremely Important World of Me. It’s just an image though, and the real man – as shown by his entire horoscope – may take himself far less seriously than at first appearance. He looks and talks like someone who worries about the state of the world, and he does. A mature approach to politics, even in his teens or twenties, is also a Capricorn Rising trademark.

Male

Having Capricorn rising almost guarantees success. No matter how many obstacles stand in his way, no matter how far down the ladder he begins, his achievements will lead to plenty of money in the bank. Money is important to this man, not just for the power it brings, but for the freedom it allows. He won't rest until he feels safe, and to feel secure, he must have a hefty bank account. Sometimes Capricorn rising can go too far in his need for acquisition and become quite ruthless. Having said that, he is very responsible, intelligent and sociable. He excels in business meetings and can be quite an investor. In a relationship he wants someone more relaxed than he is, someone that can help him loosen up when he is at home. He often finds himself with a woman of less intelligence and standing in society--he likes to help her improve. If she's willing to rise to his standards and expectations, she will do well. Together they can build up a wonderfully large nest egg that he will enjoy spending on her (and himself) when he retires. He has a hard time expressing his emotions. This is because he is quite sure he lacks the vitality of the people around him. This isn't necessarily true, and the woman that can help him gradually release his emotions will find a warm man underneath the frost. He may have more than one marriage--in his youth he had a harder time controlling his hearty sexual appetite and, of course, with his strict attitude, he believed that sex equaled everlasting love. Once he does meet the 'right' one, he will be faithful and committed to their relationship. Despite appearances, Capricorn rising often has some kinky surprises waiting for his partner.
