For this reason, Capricorn is often framed as an “ambitious” sign.
Yes and no: psychologically, all Capricorn really refers to is self-discipline and sustained effort.
Even though she has those qualities in abundance, the key is that she feeds herself through exploring and extending them.
And that’s something she can do in a conventional profession…or by spending long hours devotedly learning to play the sitar. To that end, her nature is determined, serious, and driven, no matter where she aims it. Restraints on her focus and concentration are anathema to her.
For committed love really to work for her in the long run, it must support her larger aims rather than detracting from them. No clinging vines need apply, in other words — although if she found herself with one, she’d probably honor the commitment! In real intimacy, she, herself-containment may let her slip into a kind of emotional invisibility or unavailability, and clearly that must be avoided.
Ditto for the perils of simple exhaustion. The good news is that she brings to love the same
inestimable virtues she brings to the rest of her life: integrity, devotion, a capacity to endure the threadbare patches, and unerring realism
