About the January 18th Capricorn
January 18th Capricorns are tough yet have a certain edge to them. These are rough and tumble men who were born to be wild (and in some cases, look it as well). These late-stage Capricorns are consummate warriors, and they are fighters whether they are on the silver screen or on stage at a hard rock concert.
If you have this birthdate, then embrace your toughness accordingly. Draw upon your inner strength and become a warrior for all, not just yourself. Become the primordial merger of dark Saturnian mystery merged with the community-building side of Aquarius.
Good examples of this particular date are Dave Bautista and Kevin Costner. Dave Bautista is known for playing Drax in the smash hit Guardians of the Galaxy. He's as rough and tumble as they get, and has the looks to prove it. Kevin Coster is another actor that has defined himself in many different roles. He tends to favor more western and action-themed roles, however. This gives his characters a tough and adventurous exterior that compliments this birthdate quite well.
Capricorn is the tenth sign of the Western tropical zodiac, and it comes around in the Winter season. It is a Saturn-ruled zodiac sign, meaning that it is focused explicitly on time management, discipline, and reaping the rewards of dedication and planning.
Late-stage Capricorn individuals are born close to Aquarius, meaning that they are more inclined towards high levels of intellectualism and doing things for the sake of humanity as a whole. This placement gives individuals the discipline of Saturn, which is great for careers and getting ahead in life. Their attentiveness towards progress and the truth gives them an almost humanitarian edge over other early and middle-stage Capricorn placements.
Capricorn is a cardinal sign. This means these individuals are almost always direct about what they want in life, and how they are going to get it. Capricorn is also an earth-based sign. Earth-based zodiac signs are very “salt of the earth” and are focused on things that promote stability, such as wealth acquisition.
This combination makes highly practical and stable individuals but can be seen as conservative and slow towards motion compared to some of the other zodiac signs. This is due to their earth-based and Saturnian nature, making them seem almost “heavier” than other zodiac signs.
The Devil is the tarot card that is associated with Capricorn. This is an easily misunderstandable card in the West, usually because of vestiges of religious thought or superstition at best. The card doesn’t represent Satan per se, but symbolically represents the constant ebb and flow of temptation and what it can do to an individual.
Capricorns are known for their high-octane work ethic and their ability to take care of business. But, like the chained-up humans in the tarot card, Capricorn can become a slave to their drive. There’s a good chance that if they don’t take it slow and savor life a bit more, they will never be happy.
The late-stage Capricorn, and their closeness to the Aquarian solar return of January 19th, is an individual that has the potential of great things due to their hardcore work ethic. They are inclined towards humanitarianism as well, making them far less cold and distant than what you would consider an ordinary Capricorn individual.
Make no mistake, though, these individuals are not pushovers, and their hardcore Capricorn competitive selves will come out in times where the person needs to amp up their life in some way, especially when career matters are involved.
It’s worth noting that planetary placement on the cusp (in this case late-stage Capricorn individuals close to Aquarius) doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to be exactly as dictated here in this article. There are many other considerations to make through the rest of one’s natal chart. These should not be ignored, as they can fully explain our personalities in a more in-depth manner.
What Are the Traits of a January 18th Capricorn?
Like all zodiac signs, Capricorn has its positive and negative traits. These rarely will completely define the individual, but they are good to know for study and comparison, all the same.
Positive Traits
Capricorn individuals are dependable and very much honor-bound, in some ways to a much larger degree than other zodiac signs. This is because they are so straight-laced about control in their lives. They don’t like chaotic individuals coming around messing up their finely-tuned realities.
Because of this, they are wary of making friends too quickly. This gives them more time to ascertain the character of others.
Capricorn is also what you would call someone that has the potential to become a business magnate. They are extremely hardworking people that can potentially work themselves close to death in order to achieve the vast empire-building goals they set for themselves.
Late-stage Capricorns are focused on progress along with establishing a safe and secure foothold here via their business endeavors. These are the kinds of individuals that can and will take command of nonprofit organizations to get them to the next level. They are less self-centered and egoistic than your average Capricorn.
Negative Traits
Capricorn can be seen as very cold and even melancholic at times. This is due to the double trouble of having a Saturn and earth-based admixture. This disposition can make them seem distant to most.
Their workaholic nature, while a good thing usually, can turn sinister at times. While it comes to keeping their lives well-maintained, it isn’t necessarily the best thing for their souls. These are the types to scoff at taking a vacation if they think it will set them back in some way career-wise.
The late-stage Capricorn may struggle more with some of these issues due to the airy and intellectual Aquarian cusp that they are born so close to. Overthinking is usually depression’s best friend, and these types are more than happy to worry about things relating to their lives.
What Is the Personality of a January 18th Capricorn?
As we’ve mentioned before, Capricorn is a highly motivated and, some would say, intense individual. They are going to possibly rub many people the wrong way because of this fact. While externally they can seem quite complex, their personalities are quite easy to understand. This is especially true when you realize the underlying conditions that motivate them.
First things first, Saturn’s influence on Capricorn is undeniably crucial to understanding them. Saturn, in antiquity, has almost always been seen as cold and malevolent. Many speculate it is because, at the time, Saturn was the furthermost planet known to man. This meant that he was much more distant and closer to the “unknown” compared to other planetary bodies closer to our own.
Their earth-dominance can make them seem cold and dry as well, as these are the main traits of earth-based things. The earth is their main driving “impetus” when it comes to situating themselves in this life. These individuals metaphorically rely on the precious jewels and minerals deep within the earth (prosperity via payment for their hard work) for their livelihoods to be safe and sound. Capricorn, however, can seem not-so dynamic compared to other zodiac individuals, such as fire or water signs.
This may make Capricorn seem like a bit of a drag, but that’s not entirely the case. They are just more difficult to get along with compared to some of the other zodiac signs. The good news, however, is that late-stage Capricorn signs are a bit more affable due to their Aquarian cusp influence. This is because Aquarius is naturally inclined towards humanitarianism.
This almost forces them to be more interactive and warm with other people. And, if they find themselves lacking in their interpersonal communication abilities, they will certainly make great strides to rectify that problem via their Capricorn-like discipline.
Love & Compatibility for a January 18th Capricorn
A late-stage Capricorn is going to be a tough nut to crack for most individuals, especially if your heart truly burns for one. This is probably one of the most potentially negative aspects of this unique late cusp sign. They have challenging aspects to bypass initially in the relationship before a true romance can blossom.
Capricorn is normally difficult to win the affection of in the first place. Their cold, Saturnian nature makes them persnickety and challenging to flirt with. Their emotions do exist, but they are deep and behind many proverbial obsidian walls.
Much like how they develop friendships, romantic relationships with these cautious goats are slow going. Don’t expect fire for quite a while with these guys. However, when you top this off with a late-stage Aquarius cusp, it can get even more complicated.
Aquarius finds intellectualism sexy. These are the next-level computer wizards and future tech giants that will take the human race further into the digital age. Aquarians don’t like ignorant individuals. They want to be stimulated mentally long before a physical relationship can even take place.
Additionally, they are looking for more adventurous partners. Aquarians are not at all suited for being homebodies. Some of the more intrepid late-stage Capricorns will struggle with this aspect of themselves at times and get a desire for going out and adventuring. This completely bypasses their earthy and Saturnian nature.
Taurus and Virgo are two of the best choices for any Capricorn, not just a late-stage one. Taurus, an earth sign, is a very financially-driven sign (though not to the extent of Capricorn). They seek monetary independence to fuel their lavish and passionate lifestyles. Virgo, another earth sign, is a highly dependable and regimented individual that Capricorn will not have to second-guess constantly. Virgos are very diligent, hardworking, and exceedingly patient. They make a great pairing with a sometimes distant Capricorn partner.
So, to sum it up, late-stage Capricorn individuals are looking for an engaging conversationalist on top of a dependable and trustworthy person to boot. If you don’t have either one of these traits, their hearts are going to be difficult to warm.
Jobs & Skills for a January 18th Capricorn
Capricorn individuals are determined to rise the highest they possibly can in whatever line of work they happen to fall into. They are loyal to their company insofar as the company provides them a means towards upward career mobility.
Late-stage Capricorns, however, inheret a much more idealistic than their more solid Capricorn counterparts. They will be more likely to stay with a company that gives value back to the world. Examples of companies like this are nonprofits and organizations dedicated to vast social and even bigger themes, such as green energy.
Normally, Capricorn is a conservative zodiac sign. They deal with workplace issues and problem-solving using tried and true methods. These are not the kinds of people to rock the boat and try something new. Late-stage Capricorns have a little bit of the forward-thinking and creative spark of Aquarius. This gives them a potential edge in dealing with workplace issues in a more unique manner than your usual Capricorn.
Capricorn in general is a natural leader, and late-stage Capricorn is no exception. It could be argued they make even better leaders as they are usually more motivated in a holistic sense. They care about others beyond themselves and their immediate groups.
What Is in Store for a January 18th Capricorn in 2023?
Two main events are going to be of significant impact to you. The first is the May 26th full moon lunar eclipse in Sagittarius. Full moon eclipses herald a time of great change. In this case, the moon being in Sagittarius indicates that it might be time to be a bit more adventurous in your life than usual.
Since this eclipse is square with Jupiter, that may mean the adventure at hand is a shift in careers, especially if you’ve felt stagnant at yours lately. However, be careful as the Sun is in opposition with the Moon on this date as well, which could indicate some degree of challenge when making this crucial next step.
On June 10th, there’s a solar eclipse that is in conjunction with Mercury. The moon itself will be in Gemini at that point, which is governed by the planet Mercury. This will imply a serious merging of your inherent Capricornian self with the mercurial energies of Gemini.
However, Saturn (your essential planetary force) is square with Uranus on the same day as the solar eclipse. This could mean a hard choice involving significant and radical (Aquarian) change could occur. Your best bet is to direct the energies of the eclipse towards negotiation on major decisions you might have on that day. Choose wisely!
All in all, freedom and mobility seem to be the major focus of this year for Capricorn. It’s worth noting, however, that there’s more detail for each zodiac sign depending on the month. Also, there are many other planets to take into consideration as well, not just your Sun sign.

About the January 18th Ruling Planet (Saturn)
There is an interesting intersection here that we see in late-stage Capricorn individuals as far as planetary rulers go. Saturn is the primary planetary ruler of middle-stage Capricornians, however, the closer we get to Aquarius in the calendar, the more influence late-stage Capricornians get from Uranus.
It’s worth noting in antiquity, however, that Saturn was once considered Aquarius’ ruling planet (since Uranus’ existence was not known until much later). So, in a way, these two planets are somewhat one and the same when it comes to Capricorn (with their Saturn dominance) and Aquarius (with their Urnainan dominance).
The Saturnian planetary influence for late-stage Capricornians is going to give these individuals vigor in the business realm. It is also going to amplify their determination to see things through to the bitter end. Saturn is a highly discipline-related planet, and because of this these individuals can easily dominate other zodiac signs when it comes to raw determination and accomplishing goals.
Saturn-dominant individuals have to have some caution, however. Their “dog-eat-dog” mentality can sometimes make them come off as overly cold and self-centered. This can easily cause other zodiac signs to distrust them and their intentions.
The closer one gets to the beginning of Aquarius the more things can get interesting. There are some vestiges of the planet that are going to influence the late-stage Capricornian that can potentially influence them greatly. These individuals might lean more towards being idealistic and thinking less about themselves in a selfish manner.
A great example of this is ex-presidential candidate Andrew Yang. Despite being a wealthy businessman (a highly Saturnian trait), Yang also is deeply concerned with being a voice of change for socio-economic issues in the United States. This focus on societal progression and futurism is a typical example of an Aquarian personality.
About the January 18th Birthstone (Garnet)
It seems odd due to its overly red hue, however garnet is considered to be the stone of choice for both Capricorn as well as Aquarius. Why is this the case? Let’s take a deeper look at the mythological and folkloric aspects of this lovely red gemstone.
Mythologically speaking, we see Garnet pop up in Greek mythology in a pretty big way. Garnet was once correlated with pomegranate seeds, which agricultural goddess Persephone had consumed in the underworld as a form of nourishment instead of other food sources. Due to this myth, it’s easy to see the comparison to this “jewel of the underworld” being a source of great power and even spiritually nurturing qualities for the brooding and otherworldly Saturn individual.
Aquarians and garnet are an interesting combination as well. Garnets are usually considered to be a very warm and inviting type of gemstone. This clashes somewhat with the sometimes robotic nature of the Aquarian, at least at first glance. Aquarians are highly motivated individuals when it comes to high-minded goals, specifically regarding the advancement of humanity itself. This noble pursuit of truth itself can easily be compared to the warm and optimistic nature of this gemstone.
In terms of ancient folk belief, Garnet was seen to be a life-giving stone due to its connections with its blood-red color and the human heart. Symbolically, the heart has been, in many cases, been seen as the center of the soul. Love, both romantic and platonic, has always been symbolically linked to the heart. This gemstone can warm one’s distant heart and fight against depression and malaise, which are traits that many Saturn-dominant individuals suffer with.
Interestingly enough, this is also the state gemstone of New York. New York City is quite the epicenter of business and the hustle and bustle of capitalism, This makes it a great representational stone for the entrepreneurial Capricorn zodiac sign. Aquarius and New York go hand in hand as well.
A high level of intellectualism is found in NYC as well, especially in regards to technology and keeping the modern world running at a solid pace. New York is seen as a centerpiece of innovation, growth, and upward change due to its fast-paced urban environment. This lack of stagnation and desire for abandoning the past and moving into the future is highly synonymous with Aquarius as well.
About the January 18th Lucky Color (Black)
Late Capricorn individuals are going to have two colors, namely black and blue. Black for the Capricorn aspect, but blue as well since these people are closer to the start of the Aquarius dates. Let’s take a closer look at the meaning behind each of these colors.
Black is normally considered to be the primary color of Capricorn, and this is mostly due to its Saturn-centric connotations. In the Classical-era Roman context, Saturn was primarily seen in the early Roman empire as a god of harvest and reaping. This is made even more present when we look at the symbol for Saturn itself, which is sickle-shaped. Saturn also relates to time itself and in many ways is correlated with death. If one thinks about this in a certain manner, death can almost be seen as a cessation of time itself.
Blue is the color of Aquarius, which is quite interesting considering that Aquarius itself is an air sign! However, with that being said, the planetary body of Uranus (Aquarius’ ruling planet) is blueish in hue. In the Classical Roman tradition, Uranus was the titan of the sky itself, correlating with its modern conception as the planetary ruler of the Aquarian air-dominant zodiac sign.
The mix of these two colors makes the Late Capricorn individual brooding yet more talkative and prone to intellectualism and expression compared to an average Capricorn or early-stage Capricorn. Edgar Allan Poe is a great example of a late-stage Capricorn who straddles this line of the Saturnian brooding artist and the unchained Aquarian intellectual creative force. He also happens to usually be highly-regarded by those who consider black to be their favorite color!
