Now, I tend to agree that the other aspects of the chart that others are mentioning are probably the most important. However, there is a tendency in modern astrology to focus on Capricorn as "the goat" - strong-willed, sensible, unemotional and... well... boring.
But the truth is Capricorn is a Sea-Goat. That fishy tail means something and should not be forgotten. It's often hidden by Caps but it exists. It's our sensual, emotive, mystical side. It's the "hidden waters" beneath our outward earth.
It's worth remembering that Capricorn also rules Saturnalia - the ancient festival in which everything was done to excess! Capricorn is Pan, Dionysus' party partner-in-crime. I think its telling that - in the UK - Rave culture (basically, huge, spontaneous, drug-fueled all-night parties in the countryside - think Burning Man on a local level, happening every other week) took off whilst both Uranus and Neptune were in Capricorn. Elvis, David Bowie and Rod Stewart were/are Capricorns.
So Capricorn *does* have this party-animal side to him/her. Perhaps its part of the perceived "seriousness" - if they're going to party then they're *seriously* going to party.
As a Cap Moon I must second this motion! I’ve ventured deeep in the waters of “Saturnalia”. I took this matter very SERIOUSLY for about 8 years and then I realized that working and making money was of importance and now I take that very SERIOUSLY 😊
