Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac, covering those born between December 22 and January 19. Represented by the Sea-Goat and ruled by Saturn, the sign is often linked with discipline, structure, and a strong work ethic.
People born under Capricorn are typically described as focused and practical, with a tendency to take their responsibilities seriously. Many are known for playing the long game — building careers gradually, learning from experience, and staying consistent even when progress is slow.
That seriousness can sometimes come across as reserve or emotional distance, but it is often tied to a preference for stability and control rather than impulsiveness.
Across music, film, sports, and public life, many Capricorns are known for steady careers built over time.
Here are some well-known celebrities who share the Capricorn birthday season.
