Those born between December 22 and January 22 fall under the zodiac sign of Capricorn, the most stalwart and hard-working of all the star signs. Just because you're ambitious doesn't mean you're a Capricorn! Represented by a mythological sea-goat (half goat, half fish), Cappy's true nature shares common ground with its symbol. Cappy's are stubborn, strong, and determined. They're quiet and relentless, always ready to climb their way up in life. They never give up—their pride simply won't let them. People don't see quiet Capricorn coming because they're not loud like a Leo. And this is why they're so successful. But Capricorn isn't all business. Beneath that serious exterior lies a sensitive soul with a whacky sense of humor and wild ways. This is thanks to their more sensitive fish side. Cappy's have a sense of duty and pride, so they're drawn to respectful and hilariously funny people. We know you want to be a Capricorn, but there's only one true way of establishing the truth. Take the quiz and find out if you're a Cappy or just an old goat!

Charlie took to the written word like a fish takes to water. That is to say; they found themselves immersed in literature from before they were born. They've been known to tell their friends how they can still remember the passages their parents read to them when they were in utero - Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen, and a bit of Hunter S. Thompson thrown in to balance it out. Charlie keeps their feet wet, whether they're whipping up pithy one-liners to tease your brain or busy working on their second novel (the first one is available on Amazon under a pen name they refuse to disclose). You’re sure to get a kick out of giggle-worthy explanations and outrageous hints, and still come away feeling like you’ve just expanded your knowledge base.

Did you know there are other types of zodiac signs?
The Western world has 12 zodiac signs that were established eons ago by the Babylonians. The signs each have a symbol correlating to a specific constellation in the night sky. The signs include Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius.
But here's the thing. There is also your Chinese zodiac sign which is vastly different from your Western zodiac sign. Both the Chinese and Western zodiac signs give incredible insight into the depths of your personality, emotions, and compatibility with others. Chinese zodiacs work according to your birth year. Each year is represented by an animal. Chinese zodiac animals include the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. It's a repetitive 12-year zodiac cycle, so you both you and your great-grandmother might both be born in the year of the horse.
The animals of the Chinese zodiac are all assigned unique characteristics. For example, loyalty is represented by the horse, while snakes have great intuition. Dragons are confident, rabbits are elegant, and rats are kind. These are just a few examples of the traits each of the animals represent. Now isn't that fascinating?
