Capricorns can do well in almost any career they choose and will usually rise to the top through diligence and hard work. They tend to be particularly strong in the areas of business, engineering, music, administration, and anything involving material resources (particularly assessing the value of things).
Typical Capricorns are self-disciplined and shrewd enough to run their own businesses, and their natural diplomacy means that they can also excel in politics. However, their self-control, stoicism, and strong sense of duty lead some into policing or military careers as well.
Capricorn careers and career fields, according to traditional astrologers, include:
- accountant
- administrator
- antiques dealer
- architect
- athlete
- banker
- builder
- businessperson (self-employed or other)
- dentist
- engineer
- farmer
- guard
- investor
- lawyer
- manager
- musician
- police officer
- politician
- real estate agent
- scientist
- soldier/army officer
- surveyor
- valuer
Note: The sun sign is only one aspect of an astrological profile. Many other factors, including rising and moon signs, play a role in personality and career preferences and aptitudes.
