If you think you have the quiet, reserved Capricorn girl in the corner figured out, think again. The key to understanding her is to know that the way she appears to be is carefully presented to you. One of the most important things to know about a Capricorn woman is that she is a mystery. Capricorn women were mysterious from birth. They seemed to be old souls even as infants, staring up at mom and dad with wide, knowing eyes. It’s something they can’t help. As they grow older, they build layer upon layer of walls around themselves to safeguard what is dearest to them within their hearts. The worlds that live inside their mind, the dreams, goals, visions of destiny and accomplishment are kept locked deeply within themselves because Capricorn women are extremely internalized. What you see, therefore, is only the outer layer, concealing the many facets that lie beneath. She saves her true self, the part of her that isn’t carefully controlled, only for those that she trusts. Water signs tend to see right through Capricorn’s stoic shell, sensing the sensitivity beneath. Intuitive signs know that she is just more guarded than others and needs more time to open up. Capricorn is ruled by time, if you can’t be patient with her, you’ll never truly get to know her.
Why is your Capricorn woman so cold at times, so distant, seeming to be in another world, out of touch? This is often her way of feeling. Because Capricorn women are so internalized, it is very difficult for her to express her emotions outwardly. She would rather hold it in and try to solve whatever is upsetting her on her own rather than having to find the words to describe it to someone else. Wearing her heart on her sleeve is extremely difficult for her. Many times this means that your Capricorn woman won’t ask for help. Although she won’t tell you that she’s upset, it can be obvious in a couple of ways. One way is isolation. She’ll do her best to stay away from you so that you can’t see through her and so that she can try and “solve it” on her own. If your Capricorn woman is doing this, don’t pressure her to open up but let her know that you see that she’s hurting and you’re there for her if she needs you. If she continues to internalize without release, she may erupt at times, crying or getting angry over small things. Try and be understanding and let her release everything she’s been holding in. The best thing you can do for your Capricorn woman is to be understanding and empathetic. Underneath that confident, stable appearance is a very sensitive soul who has a very difficult time dealing with her sensitivity.
If your Capricorn woman has chosen you as one of her close friends and family, you have someone on your side who will never give up on you. Capricorn women very often will be the caretaker of the important people in her life. She’ll be the one left to clean up messes, dry tears and will be the safety net for her family, taking care of everything and everyone. Because she’s so reliable and puts on a strong face, the people she loves may not think that she needs their help. Underneath, however, she might be struggling to find her voice and find time for herself. If you see your Capricorn woman taking care of everyone but herself, remind her that she’s a priority and tell her how much all of her hard work is appreciated.
Although Capricorn women are very practical and logical, when it comes to their loved ones, they’re idealists. They’ll see only the best in them no matter what. Their ability to see only the best in the people they love can also be a downfall. They’ll stick by a friend, family member or partner to the bitter end, even when they should let go. Capricorns are relentless hard workers and she’ll work just as hard on her relationships, fighting for them even when she knows deep down that the fight is over. The key to all of this is trust. When a Capricorn woman trusts you, she’ll fight for you to the bitter end.
She’s a practical idealist, seeing the world for what it is but wanting to make it better at all costs. Like a turtle, she has a hard shell but underneath, she’s soft and vulnerable. She’s logical but a mystic. Relentless but completely yielding to those she loves. Getting to know her will take much more than a blog post. You’re going to have to be patient, empathetic and be able to handle a little bit of blunt reality but in the end, you’ll have a fiercely loving and loyal partner for life.
