Capricorn

Capricorn is one of the twelve astrological signs in the western zodiac. Every year, the sun is in this sign from 22 December to 20 January, and those born during this period are considered Capricorns (also called Capricornians). They are generally characterised as being prudent, disciplined, ambitious, and funny, but also gloomy, grudging, stingy, and reserved.

The Daily Prophet ran a horoscope for Capricorn and the other signs of the zodiac in the horoscope section featured on its back page by 1995.
