Sextrology refers to the Capricorn female as one class act. She's largely unimpressed with fame, fortune or blue blood backgrounds. Capricorn females priority is to maintain a large level of self-respect. She's an earth sign and as such, she will tend to be grounded, practical, consistent and stable. Sextrology explains, "Capricorn woman is class act. The most self-composed, least showy lady in the zodiac, Capricorn female is an understatedly elegant character, largely unimpressed by "externals" such as fame, high finances, or family pedigree. Self-respect is of prime importance - largely unswayed by others' opinions of her, she focuses on cultivating a quality of life distinguished by moral courage and a quest for spiritual knowledge. On this score, reputation is paramount to her, determined as she is to be valued as a persona of substance. Life, the way she sees it, is a long, hard road that requires pacing and careful negotiation.

No frivolous risk-taker, Capricorn female lives in infamy for being purposeful, even premeditated. Circumspection, however, is the particular key to her success - she never ventures what she's unsure to gain. Instead, she deliberately takes signature baby steps towards success, avoiding shortcuts that might bring about a meteoric rise in either her professional or personal pursuits. Capricorn female believes nothing worth achieving comes easily; that is, not without the proverbial other shoe eventually dropping. She takes a similar attitude to love and sex, rarely if ever rushing into relationships, but rather letting bonds blossom over time. She is drawn to a man with creative intelligence and a strong inner life, appealing to a guy's need for a meaningful long-haul relationship. Capricorn female is the consummate significant other - one look in her eyes and it's clear she won't be trifled with."

Capricorn females number is 10, that of eternity. It is the apex of all that comes before it and it is the start of a new order, reducing to one. It portrays mans relationship to natural perfections. Her psychology is overly cautious and as a result, Capricorn female can tend to miss opportunities in life and may stifle creativity or repress her sexuality. An often pathological need for control and structure might see her falling into obsessive-compulsive behavior and/or eating disorders.

Capricorn Female Is the Zodiac's Benjamin Button

Capricorn female represents the age of wisdom and it has been said that Capricorn female is born old - and gets younger as she grows. It can be likened to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. A movie in which the main character, Benjamin Button, is played by Brad Pitt and born to his parents as an old man who only grows younger with time. This is a true representation of the Capricorn females mentality and perspective of life and she will grow more childlike and relaxed over time. Her age range, the perspective from which she views life, is 63-70 and considered the age of wisdom. Throughout her life, she embodies the serious-mindedness of a society elder - cautious, instructive and sometimes restrictive and admonishing. Capricorn female is reserved and conservative in just about all she does.

Her credo is "quality." And to her, quality represents things of solid maturity, dignity, respect, moral grounding and well made aspects. She may find it hard to stay out of the designer boutiques and can tend to have a particular weakness for shopping at edgy high-end shops. But again, "quality" is her credo and very little if any of this will have anything to do with wealth or show. She considers herself a "quality" human being and as such, feels she should be adorned equally so. Capricorn females motto is "I Use" and she might readily achieve the peaceful, carefree lifestyle she lacked as a child. She may drop five hundred dollars on one pair of shoes, however, they will be one of a precious few that she owns. Capricorn female is very careful of her belongings.

Capricorn females cardinal (initiator) earth (grounded) quality can be likened to a call to action. The cardinal-earth combination can be likened to a mountain, a symbol of preservation. Sextrology states that Capricorn female "strives for self-sustainment and the edification of her spirit as a valuable natural resource." People can be drawn to Capricorn female as a dispenser of rules to live by. Her cardinal-earth quality dictates that she be a tower of self-preservation and a rather insurmountable character and her signs polarity is femininely aligned. Did you ever hear that old tale about boys, girls and the apple tree? It goes something like this:

"Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Boys don't want to reach for the good ones at the top of the tree because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just pick the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good - but were easier to get. So the good apples at the top of the tree think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're absolutely amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along. The one who's brave and fearless enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree and grab her."

Capricorn female is one of those golden apples at the top of the tree. Many men may try to reach for her, only to find that they haven't the courage to climb higher and suffer scratches along the way. Many men will make it halfway up the tree, reach for her and find that they've made a strategic error and tumbled to the ground - only to pick up the rotten apple that was waiting there and much easier to get. Scavengers will get nowhere with the Capricorn female. Brave soldiers who are determined and focused with snatch the juicy golden treat that she truly is.

The Goddess Rhea, The Great Mother of Land and Sea

Capricorn females sign's symbol represents worldly ambition as fueled by spiritual resource. Sextrology explains, "The Sea-goat symbolizes worldly ambition (earthly goat) as fueled by spiritual resource (the fishy part). It is a totem of the goddess Rhea as the Great Mother of land and sea, who separated nature into solid (ambrosia) and liquid (nectar). She nourished divinity (Zeus) with these foods of the gods just as Capricorn is often seen as a source of spiritual sustenance. To the ancients, goats were a symbol of atonement for sins."

Her planetary ruler is Saturn, the planet of restriction, the zodiac's task master and teacher of harsh lessons that need to be learned. Struggle is a pressurized means to perfection and is paramount along with patience and discipline. Capricorn females quadrant is The Fourth Quadrant and represents one's relationship with the eternal. Sextrology states, "Capricorn female is focused on achieving a spiritually meaningful existence via her actions in life. She wants to do the best she can with what she has - her motto is "I Use" - treating her physical body as a container of soulful energy."

A Capricorn woman's principle is one of containment. Structure is a means of conservation and she shifts the focus in life from Sagittarius "quantity" to that of Capricorn "quality." The Horn of Plenty is a reservoir of bounty, just as Capricorns woman's reserves will, in time, help her to meet with her own bountiful lot in life.

With Men, Capricorn Female Must Share A Measure of Familiarity

As with any of the earth sign females, a measure of familiarity is necessary to achieve lasting bonds of intimacy, trust and growth. Sticking around and taking it slow is the name of the game. If you're dodgy, flighty or seem reckless and somewhat unstable or unpredictable - forget it. What is considered attractive qualities in a man by this group will be matter of morality, integrity, trustworthiness, groundedness, consistency and practicalities. A solid man of integrity, stable and unwavering, containing a strong moral background and belief system will be incredibly appealing. For as Capricorn female represents a mountain herself, a symbol of preservation - a strong man, indeed, will be required to move this mountain. Intellectual and spiritual pursuits in a man will send her reeling with curiosity.

Sextrology states, "Once Capricorn sees a man she wants - an intellectual, spiritual, as well as physical revelation - she keeps her eyes on the prize, eventually securing subtle ways to make him do the pursuing. For no matter how sought after a man is whom she makes the target of her affections, Capricorn woman will always somehow turn the tables, making her own self seem the more enviable catch. She approaches sexual relationships as she does everything else: She's in it for the long haul, uncannily able to focus her attention on solid objectives, and not willing to entertain anything extraneous along the way. With her high standards in tow, she rarely stops for dillying dalliances with the men she meets en route to securing the successful match she pictures, often since childhood, in her mind's eye. It is little wonder then, that when Capricorn female makes her long-awaited love connection, she is eager to see it stick. For this reason, it is not unusual for Capricorn to marry her first boyfriends, often doing so at a relatively tender age, fueled by the feeling that she is more mature, thus ready, than most.

Capricorn female isolates what she perceives as good in a man and meditates, indeed prays, upon it, putting her belief fully in him, building him up to heretofore unimaginable heights. Putting such spiritual stock int eh one she loves, she becomes a man's rock, his anchor. But seeing only the good in a man, she may underestimate his negative qualities. Capricorn female isn't forgiving to human frailty as she is oblivious to it. She is constantly wiping out her own negatives and weaknesses and often has very little patience for those who are troubled or otherwise treading a slippery slope. Her holier-than-thou attitude may manifest literally in an espousal of a particular faith system, though she is generally saved from relying on organized religions by her infamous pragmatism that dictates she remain, feet firmly planted on the material plane."

Capricorn female avoids negativity because she is overly susceptible to it herself. She can be predisposed to the affects of her ruling planet, Saturn - sudden, crushing feelings of gloom and impending doom. The word "tragedy" comes from the Greek tragoidia, meaning "goat song." Many can view the Capricorn female as somewhat full of herself on her high-horse.

A Run-Of-The-Mill Lifestyle Will Simply Not Be Enough For A Capricorn Female

This stale state of existence would be seen as a "flatliner" existence and stifle a Capricorn woman, making her feel dead inside. She is drawn to eccentric, vivid, extraordinary types with whom life can be imagined as never boring. Entrepreneurs, scholars, playwrights, producers - and maybe even a golfer or two. Tiger Wood's wife, Elin Nordegren is a Capricorn female and Tiger, himself, is a Capricorn male. Other famous Capricorn women include Janis Joplin, Naomi Judd, Donna Summer, Sade, Dido, Marlene Dietrich, Ava Gardner, Diane Keaton, Sissy Spacek, Mary Tyler Moore, Kate Moss, Amanda Peet, Victoria Principal, Susan Lucci, Tippi Hedren, Joan of Arc, Annie Lenox, Joan Baez, Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric, Mary J. Blige, Dolly Parton and Faye Dunaway.

A Capricorn females turnons will include younger men, dark, curly wavy hair, lanky physiques, tweed and flannel, big noses and cleft chins, spectacles, strangers, executives, domination, exhibitionism, high heels, teacher/student fantasies, delivery men, soapy smells and seduction. Capricorn female likes to keep her private life . . . well, err private. Her sexual bonds are not necessarily the "sizzle" sort as she's much to grounded for those imaginary flights of fancy. Rather she's looking for a solid working arrangement with a man and her main motivation for the relationship will not be sex. When it comes to sex, she can be viewed as rather conservative compared to other women. Sex to her is a form of safety and comfort, not to include acrobatic feats and psychological journeys. Sextrology refers to her as "Marian the Librarian." Freeing her libido often requires much coaxing and cajoling and patience on her partners part will be a virtue. Capricorn female is intent on setting the pace and there must be no hidden agendas in the boudoir.

Surprisingly, marriage doesn't always appeal to the Capricorn female. Wifely duties and the like do not appeal to her eternal notion that we are all essentially alone and being legally bound to another is conflicting to her. As a result, sometimes sex can be a definite no-no with Capricorn female. She likes routine and isn't all that into submitting to a man's whims simply because he's in the mood. The more pressure, the more she may back off. She views sex as achieving a certain greatness over time by sticking to a tried and true routine. She can relate better to women than she does to men and seems to have more respect for them, too. She has a love of fantasy and covert sexual activity when it comes to sex specifically. This one digs the FedEx guy, the UPS guy, the pool boy - and she may fantasize over these service oriented men whose job it is to be polite - while doing her bidding.

But the wise, aged Capricorn female realizes the importance of sex in her life and while she may be somewhat rigid about the matter - she becomes anything but frigid. Because sexual requirements don't top her list, she ends up with "hit or miss" in the love department. To the unmarried Capricorn woman, when this happens, if her man isn't cutting it, she may travel elsewhere. Her hearts in the right place but when she senses a void, she fills it. When this happens, enter the twenty-something boys that she'll notoriously plow through later in life. Men that are tireless, yet allow her to remain free of a marriage contract and there may be strings and strings of them if a Capricorn female has "taken off" in this manner.

Men, if you're bobbing around aimlessly, consider reaching for the stars and grabbing a Capricorn female. It's a tall order to fill but you may find that if you're a worthy man she'll be your anchor. Capricorn female is ultimately a supporter of men. She's the supportive energy in a man's life - never one to suggest that he keep his day job.

A Capricorn woman's notorious shows of faith in a man can even lead him to - ultimately be paid to do something that he once did only as hobby or an interest.
