why are capricorns supposedly so emotional, yet they have no sensitivity towards others?

Question

not as deep as a water sign yet still emotional?

Answer 1

I am a fellow Capricorn.
The astrological sign Capricorn is represented by the constellation Capricornus, the Sea Goat, named because this constellation is in an area( along with Aquarius and Pisces) called the sea. This led to Capricorn's antiquated classification as a Water sign (sea-goat), while modern astrology holds that Capricorn is indubitably an Earth sign.
Yes, they are somewhat emotional but not so at times( I am an example). You know, Capricorns are best described as '' capricious''. Also, we are ruled by Saturn and has Saturnine sympathy in us and I am sympathetic.
Also, we Capricorns are introverts and thus most others do not know much about us. Also we are humble and do not like to show off so... maybe others misunderstood us...
Capricorn information:
The swings in mood are not the only reason some Capricornians deserve the adjective based on their name - capricious. They can be surprisingly and suddenly witty and subtle for the quiet, reserved individuals they seem to be, and they also have a tendency to ruin things by unexpected and utterly irresponsible bouts of flippancy. In certain individuals in whom the characteristic is strong, the temptation to do this has to be resisted with iron self-control. Another unexpected quality in some Capricornians is an interest in the occult which persists in spite of their naturally skeptical turn of mind.Their intellects are sometimes very subtle. They think profoundly and deeply, throughly exploring all possibilities before deciding on a 'safe' alternative. They have good memories and an insatiable yet methodical desire for knowledge. They are rational, logical and clearheaded, have good concentration, delight in debate in which they can show off their cleverness by luring their adversaries into traps and confounding them with logic. In their personal relationships they are often ill-at-ease, if not downright unhappy. They are somewhat self-centered but not excessively so, wary and cautious around people they do not know very well, preferring not to meddle with others and in turn not to allow interference with themselves, thus they tend to attract people who do not understand them. Casual acquaintances they will treat with diplomacy, tact and, above all, reticence. They make few good friends but are intensely loyal to those they do make, and they can become bitter, and powerful enemies. They sometimes dislike the opposite sex and test the waters of affection gingerly before judging the temperature right for marriage. Once married, however, they are faithful, though inclined to jealousy. Most Capricornians marry for life.They have a great respect for authority but may not, if they reach high rank, be willing to listen to other opinions on things they are directly responsible for. As the ranking authority figure in a given situation they expect their underlings to be as self disciplined as they themselves are, and to perform every task undertaken to the highest standard.
They are, nevertheless, fair as well as demanding. Among their equals they are not always the most pleasant of work fellows for they are reserved and too conservative, valuing tradition more than innovation, however valuable the latter, and they are often humorless. There is also a tendency to pessimism, melancholy and even unhappiness which many Capricornians are unable to keep to themselves, especially if they fail personally. In the extreme this trait can make them a very depressed individual; ecstatic happiness alternating with the most wretched kind of misery which is so subconsciously buried that he or she should seek help if such emotions become frequent. For the above reason, capable Capricorn should spend many hours in meditation, gathering the strength to control such inner emotions. Capricornians make of themselves, resourceful, determined managers; setting high standards for themselves and others. They strive always for honesty in their criticism of self, they respect discipline from above and demand it from those beneath them. In their methodical, tough, stubborn, unyielding way, they persist against personal hardship, putting their families and/or their work before their own needs and welfare to reach their objectives long after others have given up and fallen by the wayside. In fact when practical ability allied with the drive of ambition are required in employees to make a project succeed, Capricornians are the people to hire. They plan carefully to fulfill their ambitions (which often include becoming wealthy), they are economical without meanness, and able to achieve great results with minimum effort and expense. Because of their organizing ability they are able to work on several projects simultaneously.

Positive Factors
Capricorn are loyal, kind, and often very generous to friends. They try to prove their sincerity by showing total devotion to the friendship, but this can go wrong if the choice of friend has been a bad one in the first place. They will continue to love a friend who is old or disabled. They will not desert or neglect a loyal friend, no matter how bad the circumstances.

Negative Factors
Capricorns are not very good judges of character. If a friendship goes wrong, because of bad judgment in the first place, Capricorn may turn hateful. If a Capricorn suspects a friend of deception, he or she will start to suspect all friends. Sometimes Capricorn tests the trustworthiness of friends several times. Capricorns have an irritating habit of organizing things that they think will be good for a friend, which the friend does not want. At their very worst, Capricorns may use a friend to further an ambition without a word of thanks.

Answer 4

I am married to a Capricorn and I am an Aquarius. I am far more emotional then he is. Some times I think nothing phases a Capricorn, he doesn't get excited or passionate about anything hardly.

Answer 5

It's definately possible for any Capricorn to be emotional.... Many of them have a really deep insight into themselves and get in to trouble with personal relationships by a deep focus on the self cause of lonliness. Usually though if something happened at birth or shortly after to cause them to reach out more they will express their innerselves quite well.

Answer 6

Yes,we are emotional,but that doesn't mean we feel the need to show that often (or at all),and that doesn't mean we are sentimental,we are easily hurt,so we don't open our heart easily. We are very strict to ourselves so we expect the same from others,so we may seem as heartless and cold,and as you said "no sensitive towards others".. Well,no one said we are not complicated ;)

Answer 7

Capricorns, by nature, are not very emotional beings. They can be patients and hard working but not emotional. Take a read about Capricorns sun signs and see if you agree....

Answer 8

I'm a Capricorn male my quiet person people tend to get mad at me for not taking to them

Answer 9

Capricorns, in general, are not considered emotional, they are considered practical ... so they look for practical solutions to a problem rather than emoting. They are more apt to give a solution to a problem than to empathize (externally).

Answer 10
