♑Capricorn Rising

Capricorn rising is taken seriously before it has done anything to earn it. The manner is composed, economical, often more formal than the setting requires, and there is a self-possession in it that others read as competence. New situations are met by assessing structure — who is in charge, what is expected, what the actual task is — and by declining to appear uncertain while working it out. The face often carries a seriousness in repose that is not necessarily matched by the mood behind it. The doorway is correct rather than warm, and it opens slowly. This presence tends to age well in others' estimation, gaining ease over time, as though the years gradually give permission for the lightness it kept in reserve.
