The workhorse of the Zodiac has arrived! No matter that it's a frisky little Goat -- this animal packs a wallop in the workplace. In fact, a Goat is a fitting animal to embody Capricornian traits -- the Goat can ascend the steepest incline and will tirelessly push to the top. Practical and conservative (watch that bottom line!), Capricorns enjoy working hard and getting things done. Their patience and smarts help them persevere where others might give up. Those born under this Sign are comfortable as leaders and actually prefer this role as it gives them a measure of control, which they find soothing. The Goat is utterly responsible and great at rallying the troops in a way that brings out the best in everyone. They also crave independence and would feel just fine in an Ivory Tower office, directing the battle down below.

The solid, Earth Sign Goat doesn't need an entourage in the workplace: A few trusted colleagues are much better. Traditionalists that they are, Capricorns also value image and are likely to insist that co-workers, as well as themselves, look as respectable as they are. Capricorns are highly organised, so being on their team is a study in cool efficiency. It's unlikely that the team will unravel, since the Goat knows how to do the right thing (again, for everyone) and is happy to carry a heavy load.

All this hard work can be pretty exhausting, which is why the Goat is advised to relax every now and again. 'Relax? What a concept!' says the naive Goat. But Capricorns who remember to take care of their inner selves and let others shoulder some of the burden will do much better in the long run.

The Capricorn office is as solid and predictable as they come, filled with sturdy wood furniture and stacks of files and filing cabinets -- the better to facilitate good, hard work. Lunch is also reliable and of good value will convey the desired message to both clients and friends.

Capricorns are well-suited to careers as generals, administrators, ministers, managers, computer wizards and engineers.
