Nestled between December 22nd and January 20th, is the final zodiac symbol of the year: Capricorn. As the hardest workers in the zodiac, Capricorns like to gain as much success as possible. Their ambition, determination, materialistic and strong qualities define them.

Giving up is not in their repertoire. They are prepared to give their all and then some to the cause. Consequently, making them great partners as well as friends and collaborators. Capricorns typically keep a tight circle, and they are loyal to their friends and loved ones. At first glance, Capricorns may seem conservative and restrained, but their closest friends and lovers know the sea-goat loves to party. The sea goat, a mythological hybrid of a goat and a fish, symbolizes Capricorn. In both the material and emotional realms, Capricorns are adept. They can successfully scale the rocky plains of the physical world to come out on top while swimmingly navigating their emotions relentlessly as well.

These sea-goats always see the wider spectrum of things. They mustn’t be distracted by nonsensical details or superfluous information; and they usually have big-pictures and long-term goals. Capricorns are observant, informed, down-to-earth, and wise. But don’t think about mocking or undermining them as they don’t take it kindly. It’s a sin they won’t forget any time soon. They won’t suffer fools gladly. Because of this, the notion that Capricorns are cold or cutthroat is synonymous with them.

Saturn is the planet that rules Capricorn. Saturn is our distant solar system’s ringed-gas giant. Saturn is the planet of rules, responsibilities, and – perhaps most importantly – time. The Capricorn understands that life is short, so they run like a madman against the clock. There are so many accomplishments to be achieved, slowing down is essentially not an option. They possess a strong sense of self-belief and determination that endows them with the ability to handle life’s challenges.

People born under the sign of Capricorn are known for being hardworking visionaries, leaders, and trailblazers. Examples are John Legend, Michelle Obama, Seun Kuti and Cobhams.

Idols West Africa’s first season in 2007 featured this sea-goat as the winner. And since then he’s blessed the world with his music. However, his lyrical dexterity and silky smooth voice are not why he’s the subject of this discussion; his strong affinity for family is why.

Unlike most of his colleagues, Timi is known to share with the world his family or ‘yard people’ as he so rightly calls them. Through this medium, the world gets to see a side to him that they aren’t necessarily privy to seeing.

In interviews as well, the award-winning artist shows he is observant, informed, down-to-earth, and wise. Which are all qualities of the zodiac.
