Rules the tenth house, the house of career, public position, and worldly success
Opposite sign: Cancer
"Capricorns are quite apt to give dinner parties. They like formality, to do things correctly, and they enjoy the pleasures of eating. It is an earthy sign, in tune with the Earth's rich mysteries, and concerned with the feasible and necessary things in life such as food.
Capricorns would much rather eat a little of something good than a lot of something not quite so good; as well as maintaining standards, they are also concerned about their status in the world. This sign of the zodiac is symbolized by the moutain goat, who climbs in a slow sure-footed way to the top of the mountain. Like the goat that has the ability to survive on practically nothing, Capricorns can make macaroni do enless rounds in different guises, so that when they entertain they can afford to do so in style. They will welcome you with smoked salmon and fine wines, impressing you in an unostentatious way.
This sign of the zodiac is rules by Saturn, the planet of control and constriction; is has the calm of a dark blue sea, and enforces a discipline that is reflected in a carefully budgeted and well-planned menu. Money is important, not so much for the pleasure that it brings but the power and prestige it accumulates in the bank. The Capricorn's kitchen will run exceptionally smoothly; they make cautious and practical cooks who like to be in complete control. They are bad at delegating and trusting others and they leave nothing to chance, their pessimistic nature anticipating that things would go wrong.
This is a very subtle sign of the zodiac, and the earthy mountain goat that represents Capricorn has a very fishy tail, which indicates duality and a nature that has an intuitive and emotional side. It gives this sign great smoothess and shrewd judgment and the ability to always get what he or she wants, without appearing to. And although Capricorns are fond of pracitcal dishes such as pastas and dried beans and solid earthy foods, they are also great fish lovers, so salmon and sole are more than likely to be on their menu, reflecting the watery nature of the sea goat. Capricorns can also enjoy combinations of sweet and savory, such as a Chinese dish, or a mixture of meat and fruits, such as a chestnut meatloaf, or even a dense rhythmic mousse that reflects the music that dances in their souls.
Dinner at a Capricorn's house should be a stylish occasion; even though this sign of the zodiac has probably moaned and groaned for days about how much the evening has cost, you will still sit down to the finest fish dish and best cuts of meat. Most of your host's money may be invested in gold bricks, but he or she will happily pop the champagne corks when the occasion arises."
