Porque é que os Capricórnios são tão odiados? 20 ideias erradas

Gémeos, Escorpião e Capricórnio: os três vilões do Zodíaco.

Lots of people dislike one or more signs – these three in particular – and the reason is that they simply don’t know them at all but think they do. Acontece com as pessoas que ouvem um pouco sobre horóscopos e depois tentam encaixar pessoas reais no molde do que acham que devem ser de acordo com o seu signo.

This is a very superficial view – it’s well-known that there’s much more to your astrological profile than your Sun sign. Ainda assim, todos os signos do zodíaco têm a sua quota-parte de odiadores, independentemente do que mais se esconde no seu mapa natal.

Why are Capricorns so hated? Let’s forget about all other aspects right now and focus just on Capricorn sun. Here’s what’s behind the zodiac shaming Capricorn faces (but doesn’t really care about.)

Why Are Capricorns So Hated? Because They’re The G.O.A.T.

Então, porque é que os Capricórnios são tão odiados? A resposta é estereótipos e mal-entendidos. Some types of people either hear ‘Capricorns are so-and-so’ and believe it in the most literal sense, or they misinterpret their behavior.

Principais características de Capricórnio pode manifestar-se de muitas formas, mas as pessoas que não têm imaginação costumam imaginar um homem de negócios abotoado que troça de quem sorri. Alguns estereótipos são verdadeiros, mas não da forma que parecem. Outros, nem por isso.

Instead of bothering with boring, overused ideas about this star sign, let’s break down what the Sea-goat is really like.

Estereótipo 1: Capricórnio é ambicioso e procura estatuto

Sure, Caps are ambitious and want to be acknowledged, but it’s rarely in line with the stereotypical image of what it means: that they only care about promotions, making money, and being on top, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.

Capricorn’s ambition and desire for status run much deeper. Querem ser os melhores naquilo que fazem, e a sua única concorrência são eles próprios. The status they’re striving for isn’t to be the one with the most possessions and achievements but to be respected and considered good at what they do.

Capricorn always seeks to improve and go above and beyond, but the acknowledgment they receive means nothing to them if they’re not happy with themselves – they disregard other people’s opinions if they don’t align with their own.

Estereótipo 2: Capricórnio é sempre sério

If there’s one thing Capricorns really hate, it’s when they have to do something. They prefer to fill their time with things they actually like to do, so they hate wasting it by waiting until someone else is done.

This is why they can seem really serious about things – they want to be finished with the current task and move on.

This is very obvious at work: Capricorns aren’t good team players. They like working alone because they’re very efficient and other people tend to slow them down. They’re serious about what they do because they like to do their job well and quickly.

Estereótipo 3: Capricórnio é emocionalmente distante

One of the reasons why people consider Capricorns emotionally detached is because they give the impression that they can cut people out of their lives without a second thought. They like you one day, but you do something small they don’t like, and you’re out.

In reality, Capricorns can take a lot, and they don’t speak up when something bothers them. They don’t do it because they don’t want to be petty, or they want to give people a lot of chances to treat them right. However, when someone takes it too far, and they’ve had enough, they are done.

Os capricornianos são notoriamente maus a comunicar os seus sentimentos, e é por isso que isto acontece. Por isso, quando parece que um capricorniano decidiu cortar-lhe o interesse de repente, it’s actually a sign that your behavior has been bothering them for a long time, only they never said anything.

Estereótipo 4: Capricórnio é conservador

This is one Capricorn stereotype that people misunderstand completely. When you think of someone who is conservative, the first thing that comes to mind is the political or social interpretation of the term or someone who’s averse to change and prefers the traditional to the new.

As a cardinal sign, Capricorn is all about moving things forward, so the stereotypical understanding of what it means to be conservative doesn’t apply to them. Ser comedido e confiar na experiência são formas muito melhores de explicar como este termo se pode aplicar a eles.

Capricorns do what works and don’t try to change things just for change’s sake. However, if they come across something that works better, they won’t reject it.

Estereótipo 5: Capricórnio guarda rancor

Uma melhor maneira de descrever isto é que, quando um capricorniano é ferido, fica ferido durante muito tempo. They learn from experience, so if you’ve proven that you can’t be trusted, then that’s it. Optam por se proteger, afastando da sua vida as pessoas que as magoam.

Os Capricórnios aceitam as pessoas pelo seu valor facial e confiam nelas até prova em contrário, so when that trust is broken, a Capricorn is not only hurt by the other person’s behavior but angry with themselves for not being cautious.

You can get a Cap to forgive you, but you get only one chance. If you mess up the second time, count your losses, and don’t try again.

Estereótipo 6: Capricórnio é viciado em trabalho

This one is correct, but maybe not in the way you might think. Lots of people have the idea of Capricorns as successful business people, CEOs, or some similar power fantasy, but a Capricorn’s motivation for working comes from a different place: they need to have a purpose.

Um Cap quer deixar a sua marca no mundo e, quando acredita em algo, persegue-o incansavelmente. Os capricornianos são viciados em trabalho quando o seu trabalho faz sentido. When uninspired, Caps can be one of the laziest signs, but when they care about something, they’re hard-working and impossible to distract from their goals.

Estereótipo 7: Capricórnio é perfeccionista

Of course, a Capricorn is a perfectionist – all earth signs are – but their perfectionism is completely turned inward. Os Capricórnios nunca estão satisfeitos consigo próprios, e esta é a causa de muitos dos seus problemas.

They push themselves to do better, but they never feel like it’s good enough. Impostor syndrome is big with Caps. This is why they often feel inferior and avoid sharing their feelings with others, so they seem unemotional.

Esta atitude também os torna arrogantes aos olhos daqueles que classificam como excelente algo que um boné classifica como medíocre, quando na verdade, um Capricórnio é exatamente o oposto: inseguro e sente-se inadequado.

Estereótipo 8: Capricórnio tem um lado negro

Nenhum sinal tem um lado negro, contrariamente ao estereótipo. Todos os signos são neutros, e nenhum deles é inerentemente bom ou mau. Escorpião, Capricórnio, Virgem e Áries são os signos mais comumente vistos como escondendo algo sinistro devido a certas características que possuem.

Por exemplo, Capricorns tend to be private, which is misinterpreted as if they’re hiding something. Quando isto é combinado com todos os outros estereótipos que os rodeiam, há pessoas que inventam fantasias de que os Capricórnios são maus.

Estereótipo 9: Capricórnio é mandão e controlador

Capricorns are practical: they look for the most efficient way to deal with things and strive to do it as quickly as possible. They’re very no-nonsense and organized because this makes things easier for them.

Como sabem sempre o que querem, podem parecer mandonas. Capricórnio tem uma visão e sabe como gosta das coisas, por isso pode ser exigente e muito específico. As pessoas que têm uma abordagem mais descontraída consideram este facto opressivo.

Estereótipo 10: Capricórnio é rígido

This one is entirely untrue and caused by Capricorn’s confidence in how they do things, combined with their difficulty expressing how they feel.

If you know a Cap, you might think that you can’t suggest anything exciting to them because they’re always busy being efficient, so you’ll be surprised when they accept when you do. Um capricorniano usa o que funciona até estar convencido de que outra coisa funcionará melhor.

Sexually, Capricorns are anything but uptight. They’re adventurous and want to try anything that might bring them pleasure. Once they decide they can relax with someone, they reveal that they’re one of the signos do zodíaco mais pervertidos.

Estereótipo 11: Capricórnio é aborrecido

Capricorn minds their own business and rarely seeks attention, which is why some people believe that there’s nothing interesting about them. People who actually get to know Capricorns are aware that they’re anything but.

O problema com os Caps é que eles têm um ponto de vista único, which some people have trouble figuring out. Even though they don’t like drama, they’re very theatrical. In other words, um Capricórnio detesta discutir sem motivo, mas gostam de dar espetáculo de outras formas.

Por exemplo, pense em celebridades de Capricórnio como David Bowie, Dolly Parton ou Kim Taehyung. Todos eles têm um sentido ligeiramente fora do comum, algo invulgar e visionário que pode ser facilmente mal interpretado.

Estereótipo 12: Capricórnio é implacável

This is how this is usually interpreted: “The mountain goat is always climbing, determined to get to the top no matter what it takes and who they have to step on to reach their goal.” But this isn’t where Capricorns show their ruthlessness.

Antes de mais nada, they’re ruthless with themselves. They’re unforgiving when it comes to their own mistakes, and they don’t allow themselves to move on until they’ve either corrected them or learned from them. O capricorniano é demasiado rigoroso consigo próprio, o que muitas vezes o retém.

Another area of life where Capricorn has no pity is with those who have either hurt them more than once or shown that they’re unkind to other people. They’re very picky about who they associate with. A Capricorn won’t hesitate to block you if you show them a side that they don’t like.

Estereótipo 13: Capricórnio é convencional

The accepted image that follows Capricorns and confuses every Capricorn who hears it is that they’re either dull, emotionless accountants or villains obsessed with authority. So if they’re not cutthroat CEOs, they’re obedient, traditional, and unimaginative.

It’s no wonder most Caps are skeptical of astrology when it paints such an unflattering picture.

One of the frequent myths about Capricorns is that they’re conventional. There’s nothing wrong with being conventional if that’s what you are, but quando se trata de Capricórnios, esta é uma caraterística raramente vista.

Capricórnio é a coisa mais distante de alguém que segue instruções, tem opiniões e crenças geralmente aceites e pode ser controlado.

Estereótipo 14: Capricórnio é teimoso

Os Capricórnios só fazem as coisas que querem fazer. Este facto é indiscutível. Portanto, sim, they can be endlessly stubborn if you’re trying to make them do something they don’t want. Se nunca tentarmos levá-los a fazer coisas contra a sua vontade, talvez nunca descubramos como podem ser teimosos.

On the other hand, if you tell them to do something they were going to do anyway, they might not do it, just to be contrary. Reverse psychology might be key to dealing with Caps because they’re not the rule-followers they seem to be accused of being.

(O Saturno mitológico descreve o conflito de gerações: usurpou o seu próprio pai e foi, por sua vez, usurpado pelo seu filho. Há sempre um sentimento de rebelião sob uma influência saturnina).

Capricorn’s stubbornness makes them incredibly persistent when they want something. They can achieve anything they want, if they want. If they don’t care, there’s no power that can make them do it.

Estereótipo 15: Capricórnio é materialista

Capricorns are incredibly complex, and the intricacies of their personalities can be difficult to combine into a coherent picture. Capricorns’ defining trait – trying to grow and fulfill their purpose – was somehow misinterpreted as corporate greed.

O desejo de riqueza e de bens materialistas não está relacionado com os signos do zodíaco, yet it’s always Capricorns, along with their earth sign friend Taurus, who is considered money-hungry.

Sure, there are probably plenty of Capricorns who are like that but also Capricorns who don’t care about money at all. It’s safe to assume that most Caps are somewhere in between, just like all other signs.

One thing that all Capricorns have in common is that they won’t budge when it comes to their beliefs.

Estereótipo 16: Capricórnio detesta diversão

It’s unclear where the stereotypes that Capricorns are wet blankets who only talk about their careers and criticize others come from, but it can’t have come from anyone who knows a Capricorn.

Os bonés levam-se muito menos a sério do que se pensa. They have a quick wit and a dry sense of humor, which might be lost on some people. At first sight, they might seem like they’re someone who’s put together and mature, but when you get to know them, you can’t describe them as anything but outrageous.

Estereótipo 17: Capricórnio é perigoso

Like any other sign, Capricorns are capable of being either awful or amazing. They’re often assigned one of two roles in the minds of people who believe in stereotypes: a boring, buttoned-up office worker or a merciless dictator.

Provavelmente, há capricornianos que se enquadram nestes dois papéis, mas the majority of Caps mind their own business, struggling with the pressure they’ve put on themselves and trying to contain the chaos inside.

Capricorns follow their own rules and disregard any they don’t believe in. This can indeed make them dangerous, but it also makes them come up with groundbreaking ideas that actually work.

Estereótipo 18: Capricórnio é fechado

Capricorns can seem closed off if you don’t know how to read them because they’re often worried about how their feelings will be received.

Quando se trata de sentimentos, Os capricornianos têm dificuldade em exprimi-los porque sentem muito profundamente.

Because of Saturn’s influence, they think that they have to deal with everything on their own, so they don’t want to bother other people with how they’re feeling. É por isso que ter o apoio e a compreensão dos seus entes queridos é tão importante para os Capricórnios.

Estereótipo 19: Capricórnio é arrogante

What’s often perceived as arrogance in Capricorns is actually a lack of self-confidence. Os capricornianos sentem-se muitas vezes inadequados e tentam reprimir quem são para parecerem melhores e para que as pessoas gostem deles sem se aperceberem de que isso afasta as pessoas.

Another reason they might appear arrogant is because they’re overly self-critical. O Capricórnio nunca está satisfeito consigo próprio e quer sempre fazer melhor. When they express their dissatisfaction, it can seem as if they’re bragging about something that seems perfectly fine.

Estereótipo 20: Capricórnio é pessimista

This is one of the Capricorn stereotypes that’s true on occasion. When it comes to their expectations and assessment of others, Capricorns are generally realistic people who don’t let their wishful thinking deceive them.

Sometimes, this can go too far, and instead of having realistic views, they become pessimistic. This happens to those Capricorns who have often been hurt and disappointed – As toucas aprendem com a experiência, por isso, se aprendem a esperar o pior, têm dificuldade em esperar o melhor.

Estereótipos do Zodíaco

Water signs or fire signs, earth signs or air signs – there are all kinds of ideas permeating the collective mind about each of the zodiac signs. Algumas pessoas gostam de acreditar nestes estereótipos, especialmente se conhecerem alguém que encarna os traços negativos do seu signo.

When these beliefs start to interfere with their relationships and make them judge people in advance, it can have harmful results. Believing in the stereotypes stops the people who believe in them from realizing the complexity of the person they’re interacting with.

It’s their loss, though, so if you don’t want to miss out on quality people, ask yourself if you believe the following stereotypes about the signs and choose to question them – what is the underlying trait, and how can it be interpreted?

• Aries é zangado, agressivo, sem sentimentos calorosos.

• Taurus é preguiçoso, teimoso, comilão.

• Gemini é hipócrita, superficial, mentiroso.

• Cancer é pegajoso, fraco, demasiado emotivo.

• Leo é obcecado por si próprio, procura atenção, é vaidoso.

• Virgo é antissocial, crítico, arrogante.

• Libra é falsa, indecisa, inconstante.

• Scorpio é tóxico, luxurioso, mau.

• Sagittarius é hiperativo, descomprometido, rude.

• Capricorn odeia diversão, conservador, viciado em trabalho.

• Aquarius é superficial, estranho, sem emoção.

• Pisces não é fiável, está mal-humorado e é demasiado sensível.

Dizer não à vergonha do zodíaco

Why are Capricorns so hated? In short, stereotypes and misconceptions, sometimes at the same time. Stereotypes can sometimes have a bit of truth to them, but they can make you judge a person before you get to know them if you’re not careful.

If you try to expand your understanding of Capricorn traits, you’ll see how it’s possible to interpret them so that they fit all Capricorn people in ways that won’t try to twist their meaning.

In the end, it’s important to see everyone as an individual and not jump to conclusions, or even worse, try to interpret their actions as having some meaning you expect them to have.
