TRAITS:  Practical and prudent, ambitious and discipline, patient and careful, humorous and reserved.

ON THE DARK SIDE:  Pessimistic and fatalistic, miserly and grudging, over conventional and rigid.

POSSIBLE HEALTH CONCERNS:  Capricorn governs the knees, bones and skin, so it's subjects may be liable to fractures and strains of the knees and other defects of the legs. Skin diseases from rashes and boils to leprosy (in countries where that disease is prevalent) are dangers, and digestive upsets may be caused by the tendency of Capricorns to worry or suppress emotions. Anemia, Blight's disease, catarrh, deafness, rheumatism and rickets are also said to threaten the natives of this sign.
