In love
Undemonstrative but dependable. Commitment is shown by showing up, not by saying so.

The Capricorn woman
The Capricorn woman is described as: Composed and quietly determined. Builds slowly and does not explain herself. Astrologically there is no separate chart for women — the sign, its element and its ruling planet are identical whoever holds them. What differs is the reading, because the same traits get interpreted differently depending on who shows them, and that is worth saying out loud rather than presenting two natures where there is one.
In each area of life
At work
Built for institutions and long climbs. Impatient with people who need motivating.
With money
The most disciplined saver, with a tendency to under-enjoy the results.
As a friend
Undemonstrative and completely reliable. Turns up with a solution, not sympathy.
Strength
Plans in decades and executes without needing encouragement along the way.
Friction
Measures worth by achievement, and struggles to rest without guilt.

How many women 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.
Every figure above is identical for the man. That is the point: nothing in the chart responds to gender, so any page claiming a separate Capricorn nature for each is describing a cultural reading, not an astrological one.
Which does not make the reading useless — it makes it a reading of expectations rather than of the sky, and it is more useful when you know which one you are getting.
