As a long-term partner he is committed, protective and responsible, and his affection grows steadily over time.

How many men are Capricorn at all

29.2 days the Sun spends in Capricorn this year — the 12th longest of the twelve. The signs are not equal.
29.3 days of the year fall under it once births are weighted by month — December is the peak.
8.3% is what an even split would give. Because sign lengths differ, the real share does not land there — and it is the same for both sexes.

These figures are identical for the woman — nothing in the chart responds to gender.
