CAPRICORN

 

Positive traits

Knows exactly how many nuts to accumulate for the forthcoming winter - Knows exactly how to ration out said nuts - Will defend nuts and nestbox at any cost - Has been known to scamper over other squirrels to grab the last nut - Each step is firmly placed - Has been known to clasp the prize nut to his chest and plant kisses on it

 

Negative traits

Does not deter (think outside the box) from Standard Operating Procedure according to the Squirrel Nut Collection Resource Manual for any reason ever - Prefers the company of nuts - Becomes moody if forced into group discussions of feelings - Has been known to make the occasional sarcastic remark when observing silly behavior, deliberate or inadvertent, by companion squirrels or humans

 

Relationships

Capricorns are often thought to be cold and calculating, but in fact they are often simply suffering a lack of confidence. (“If I take Fuzzi’s acorn and Fred’s walnut, hide them in MY patch, then I might have enough to store ‘cause I will never be able to do it by myself”)  They are loyal and steadfast in relationships, but sometimes find it difficult to say how they feel, frequently resorting to staring into their human's face, convinced ESP will work its magic.

 

Career

The most ambitious of all the signs, they almost all, at sometime in their lives, seem to live only for their work. Some will create huge businesses out of nothing, for example, setting up investment opportunities in nut trusts, and when it is done will go on and do the same again. If this instinct to succeed is frustrated when young they sometimes will turn to philanthropic lifestyles and do well working for a charity or similar (No, sir, I am not panhandling).

 

Leisure

Hill-walking, gardening (digging in and poking around the plants) and acorn-golf are the sort of activities enjoyed by this sign, they love music (Indie music is preferred) and books; young Capricorns tend to live in books (Squirrel Nutkin) until they get the urge to succeed in the nut field.
