Aka “Capricorn” or “Enneagram 6”

Capricorn, the tenth sign of the zodiac (December 22–January 19), is an earth sign ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline, responsibility, and structure. Capricorns are known for their ambition, practicality, and strong work ethic. Often described as the “achievers” of the zodiac, they are driven by a desire for success, stability, and respect. Capricorns are highly disciplined, strategic, and patient, willing to work tirelessly toward long-term goals. They value tradition, order, and reliability, often taking on leadership roles or responsibilities with a serious, no-nonsense attitude. While their determination and resourcefulness make them dependable, Capricorns can be overly cautious or pessimistic, sometimes struggling to relax or embrace spontaneity. They are reserved in relationships, prioritizing loyalty and trust, but their focus on achievement can make them seem distant or overly focused on status.

Overlap with Enneagram Type 6

Enneagram Type 6, known as “The Loyalist,” shares significant traits with Capricorn, particularly in their focus on security, responsibility, and loyalty. Both Capricorn and Type 6 are driven by a need for stability and a cautious approach to life. Here’s a breakdown of their overlap:

Desire for Security and Stability: Capricorns seek material and social stability through hard work and planning, aligning with Type 6s’ core motivation to find safety and avoid uncertainty. Both prioritize creating a secure foundation, whether through career, relationships, or systems.

Responsibility and Duty: Both are highly dutiful. Capricorns take on responsibilities with a sense of obligation, often shouldering burdens for others, while Type 6s are motivated by loyalty and a need to fulfill their commitments, making both reliable and trustworthy.

Cautious and Strategic Mindset: Capricorns are methodical, assessing risks before acting, much like Type 6s, who anticipate potential problems and plan to mitigate them. Both can be skeptical or wary, preferring preparation over impulsivity.

Loyalty in Relationships: Capricorns are steadfast in their commitments, valuing long-term, trustworthy connections, which mirrors Type 6s’ emphasis on loyalty and building dependable relationships to feel secure.

Tendency Toward Worry or Pessimism: Both can lean toward caution or doubt. Capricorns may fear failure or loss of status, while Type 6s grapple with anxiety about uncertainty, leading both to overthink or focus on worst-case scenarios.

In summary, Capricorn and Enneagram Type 6 share a pragmatic, loyal, and security-focused approach, excelling at building stable lives through discipline and foresight. Both may need to work on embracing flexibility and managing anxiety to avoid becoming overly rigid or worried.
