Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Gemini

You unite qualities that seem hard to reconcile: a love of stability and a craving for the new, firmness and flexibility. You work hard, and work is at the heart of your life. You take great responsibility for anything you undertake, and finishing what you start matters to you, whatever it takes. When you are in charge, you tend to lead through firm instructions and directives and to check carefully that they are carried out on time. Yet you also have a natural flexibility and adapt easily to people and circumstances. Your authority rests on your complete dedication to your work. You value professionalism and strive for it, drawing on your fine intellect and your openness to people.

Before you decide anything, you work out a clear sequence of steps and think through and analyze every detail. You do this slowly, methodically and consistently.

When it comes to carrying out your decisions, you are flexible, ready to adjust to the situation as it unfolds, and you show plenty of initiative. You have a head for business and use it well in your work. Positions of authority attract you, and you aim to climb the career ladder as high as you can, helped by your knack for sensing the right moment and seizing opportunities. You are serious, resilient and sociable. Your principles come from a deep respect for the law in every form, and for you a principle is a rule to be followed faithfully.

You like your rest to have some connection with work whenever possible. Since you love to plan everything, you plan your holidays as carefully as anything else you do.

You relax in light, easy company, with relaxed conversation and a bit of friendly chatter.

You know how to keep your emotions in check and you try to look at problems with a healthy skepticism.

At home you enjoy reading, thinking and long conversations on the phone. Your reactions are quick. You show care and attention by keeping busy, talking things through and offering people a helpful word.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always pull in the same direction. Your big goals stay steady, while your day-to-day tactics shift and adapt. Warmth and generosity may not always come through as clearly as you feel them, and letting people see them more often can bring you closer.

In a man's chart, this combination gives a strong career focus, professionalism, thoroughness, patience and a certain stiffness of manner, and he is often drawn to a partner who is intelligent, quick and versatile. In a woman's chart, it brings a great love of change and variety, and she is drawn to a partner who is loyal, serious, reserved, hardworking and accomplished in his field.
