1
Ambitious The typical Capricorn-Aries person is 100% dedicated to their professional success. They may have lofty aspirations—they often intend to be at the top of their field—but if anyone can do it, it's someone with this sun-moon combo. They can be very work-oriented as a result and usually put their career ahead of anything else in their life.
- A Capricorn-Aries tends to believe that higher education is essential for the success they crave, so they likely have at least one advanced degree.
- Capricorn-Aries folks tend to have leadership skills to go along with their ambitions, which is great because they usually like to take charge.

- Capricorn-Aries folks don't tend to get along very well with people they perceive as lazy or lacking in self-discipline—and they have pretty high standards as far as that's concerned.
3
Spontaneous Some people are all about planning ahead, but your typical Capricorn-Aries is more likely to just go out and do whatever it is they want to do and let the chips fall where they may—this is the influence of the moon in Aries. This sun-moon combo tends to live life in the fast lane and they likely feel as though time spent thinking and planning is wasted time when they could already be doing the thing.
- This sometimes means that a Capricorn-Aries won't consider the risks of doing something before they do it. Fortunately, they tend to handle adversity pretty well, so they'll usually find a way through any problems along the way.
4
Energetic Thanks to the moon in Aries, the Capricorn-Aries person has a reputation for doing literally everything in top gear—they work fast, they type fast, they talk fast, they walk fast.

In fact, they have a reputation for letting things around them fall by the wayside while they're focused on a task.
- A Capricorn-Aries person also tends to be very detail-oriented as well. Even though they work at a fast pace, they're not rushing through anything—their work ethic demands quality.
6
Unconventional Capricorn-Aries folks usually want to take the path less traveled. They're not really interested in how everyone else has done something—they want to do it their way. They're independent and like to do things their way rather than following in someone else's footsteps.
- Related to this, a Capricorn-Aries person typically puts a lot of value on independence and doing things on their own. They're not likely to ask anyone for help (even if they could really use it).
7
Dramatic The moon in Aries means this sun-moon combo typically has a flair for the dramatic—you'll definitely notice them when they walk into a room. That being said, thanks to the sun in Capricorn, they're also capable and efficient and willing to work hard to accomplish whatever they set out to do.
- Capricorn-Aries folks are the type of folks that you can see really going places. They know how to set goals and how to accomplish those goals once they've made them.
8
Aggressive Here's the flip side of that flair for drama—when a Capricorn-Aries person feels slighted, they tend to go over the top about it. Aries is ruled by Mars, the planet that represents aggression, and Capricorn-Aries folks have no qualms about going off on someone. ^{[2]
