Capricorn celebrities: 25 famous people born under this practical sign

The Sun glides into the enterprising earth dirt of Capricorn from Dec. 21 until Jan. 19.

Capricorn has a reputation for being shrewd, financially successful, and personally punishing. Capricorn energy, at its highest expression, is strategic, driven, and more than a little bit rock ‘n’ roll, as exhibited by double Cap, singularly metal Lemmy Kilmeister. 

Symbolized by the eye on the sky, hooves on the ground sea goat, Capricorn was born to make it to the top of the mountain, and they believe the only way to reach the pinnacle is through relentless toil. Trust, inside each and every one of them lives a stern father figure endlessly employing a no excuses, no failure, “this is Sparta” vibe.

Easily the hardest working Earth sign, Capricorn doesn’t always do what it wants, but it always does what must be done.

Take a peek at our list of famous Capricorn celebrities! If you’re a sea goat looking for more information about your year ahead, book a reading here.

Meghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor was born on December 22.

Ricky Martin

Eternally attractive Capricorn king Ricky Martin, born on December 24th, spoke to the ‘oxygenated by adversity’ spirit of his sign when he confessed, “I love difficult tasks. I’m a Capricorn. I like difficult things. If it’s challenging, I’m in.”

Jared Leto

Wolf-eyed method actor and unabashed weirdo Jared Leto was born on Dec. 26.

Capricorns like to get paid, folks. Thus, it is unsurprising — though not widely known — that Leto has invested in the likes of Nest, Uber, Reddit, Airbnb, and Slack.

Kit Harington

Capricorn actor Kit Harington was born on Dec. 26.

Timothée Chalamet

Timothée Chalamet, he of the careless curls and sex eyes, was born on Dec. 27, 1995, in NYC making him a powerbroker Capricorn sun with an escape artist Pisces moon.

On a fundamental level, Capricorns like Chalamet respect the grind and revere those who build empires, be they out of lip gloss, last names, or otherwise. A conquest queenpin with emotional depth like Kylie Jenner? Straight-up bait to a Cap sun/Pisces moon like Timbo.

Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington was born on December 28, 1954, making him a Capricorn Sun with an Aquarius Moon.

Gayle King

Broadcaster and bestie to Aquarius iconoclast Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King was born on December 28. Sea goats invest for the long haul, and these two pals count half a century of friendship. Recently, O threw Gayle a surprise birthday party that ‘almost gave her a heart attack.’

John Legend

Capricorn is synonymous with the archetype of the father, and singer and family man John Legend is apex dad vibes. He was born on December 28.

LeBron James

Sports icon and sharp-dressed man LeBron James was born on December 30.

James, who has an Aries moon, famously refused to participate in the congratulatory handshake after his team was defeated in the 2009 Eastern Conference finals.

James explained later, “I’m a winner. It’s not being a poor sport or anything like that. If somebody beats you up, you’re not going to congratulate them. That doesn’t make sense to me. I’m a competitor. That’s what I do. It doesn’t make sense for me to go over and shake somebody’s hand.”

Spoken from the infernal heart of someone who can’t accept second best.

Bradley Cooper

Bradley Cooper, born January 5, 1975, is an enterprising Capricorn sun with charm-as-lethal-weapon Libra moon. His earth sun makes him a great match for current flame and Taurus regent Gigi Hadid.

Equally hungry, horned, and horny, Taurus and Capricorn are both represented by warm-blooded animals and are big on stability, playing the long game and leaning hard into creature comforts; sex, snacks, superior quality goods, and sleep.

They’re here to get paid and get laid, folks, to work hard and enjoy the fine fruits of their labors.

Diane Keaton

The legendary actress was born on January 5.

Blue Ivy Carter

Capricorn is the sign of legacy, and as the heir apparent to power couple Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Blue Ivy was born from and for greatness. She was born on Jan. 7.

Elvis Presley

Born January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, MS, Elvis has his sun, Venus, and Mercury in enterprising Capricorn and his moon in the mutable, escapist sign of Pisces. Capricorn is symbolized by the sea goat, and Elvis is not only a goat by sign but arguably the GOAT by design, at least as far as pompadours, pelvic mastery, and capitalizing on stolen songbooks go.

Noah Cyrus

Born on January 8, Noah Cyrus is a conquest-as-cardio Capricorn sun with a “feelings are for the weak” Aquarius moon. Capricorn is a sign associated with legacy, grind, and daddy energy.

Per Noah’s rumored relationship with her mother’s current husband,d Purcell Dominic, it is not uncommon for folks with strong Cap placements to seek out an older partner; they are ever looking to learn and leverage, and sometimes a generational age difference provides just the stirrup and stir-up they are seeking.

Kate Middleton

While her title is HRH The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, with her impeccable tailoring, steely reserve, penchant for “editing,” and avoidance of vulnerability, is every strategic stitch a Capricorn queen.

Our lady of the structured shoulder pads was born on Jan. 9, 1982, making her a GTFO-of-my-way Capricorn sun with an emotionally sunburned Cancer moon.

Capricorn rules the 10th house of public life, the natural domain of stone-faced leaders and stiff upper lips. Symbolized by the ever-striving sea goat, Capricorn lives to rise through the ranks, and being Queen is just about the tip top of the festering blue-blood class and caste system, folks.

Zayn Malik

Pop star Zayn Malik was born on January 12.

Orlando Bloom

In terms of zodiac compatibility, in Scorpio, Capricorn finds an equal, a sexual deviant driven by an unapologetic desire for power and control.

Ambition is an aphrodisiac for these two, and while both harbor debilitating trust issues, as long as they support — rather than compete with — one another, this is a couple with the potential for world domination.

Hope is found in Capricorn Orlando Bloom, who was born on January 13, helping Scorpio wife Katy Perry adjust her corset in order to perform at Variety’s “Power of Women” event.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

Capricorn “Veep” and “Seinfeld” actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus was born on January 13.

Liam Hemsworth

Liam Hemsworth, born January 13, 1990, is a structured Capricorn sun with a love-hungry Leo moon. Read more about his star-crossed and oft-dissected relationship with Miley Cyrus here.

Sade

True to the cardinal energy of her sign, the incomparable Sade, queen of quarantine and chill, has publicly said she only releases art when she wants to. Her birthday is Jan. 16. While she may take her time making music, the longer we wait, the sweeter it sounds.

Lin-Manuel Miranda

A Capricorn king, “Hamilton” star Lin-Manuel Miranda was born on Jan. 16.

Michelle Obama

Author, activist, and former first lady Michelle Obama was born on January 17th. Capricorn is the sign of legacy, and as an advocate for poverty awareness, education, nutrition, physical activity, and healthy eating, Obama has made her mark.

Zooey Deschanel

Zooey Deschanel was born on January 17. An earth sign, Caps do well when they dig in the dirt with a partner of the same element. In Deschanel’s case, her other half, Jonathan Scott, is a card-carrying member of Team Taurus.

Betty White

The late great Betty White, born on January 17, proved that, like fine wine, certain cheeses and roth ROIs, Capricorns only get better with age.

Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton was born on Jan. 19 and has been on her mothertrucking grind every day since. Capricorns maintain a professional polish and an air of business at all times, exhibited by this sea-goat national treasure who doesn’t even own a pair of sweatpants.
