Holiday Gift Ideas To Make A Capricorn's Life Easier

Capricorns, born between December 22 and January 19, are the ultimate goal-getters of the zodiac —common descriptions include being driven, pragmatic, and always chasing their next big achievement. They love a solid plan, a clear path to success, and trust that they will put in the effort to get there. Known for their dry humor and no-nonsense attitude, Capricorns might come off guarded, but once you’ve earned their trust, they’re loyal to the core. Famous denizens of this earth sign include Timothee Chalamet, Michelle Obama and David Bowie – all proof that that hard work and charm do go hand in hand.
