I invited around 70 writers/bloggers to write a piece about whether or not they're typical of their sign, and how its traits affect their writing life ~ if at all...

A Capricorn with a very cheerful smile, rather than a dour saturnine expression... I am delighted to welcome romantic suspense/mystery writer Georgia Rose!
Georgia's the author of the very well received Grayson Trilogy ~ you can see all three books (and read the sooooper reviews!) on Amazon HERE. She's active on Twitter and the blogging world, and very supportive of her author friends; she also reviews for Rosie Amber's Review Team.
"I’ve always considered
Capricorns to be the dullest of the Zodiac signs. Born at the bleakest time of
year our birthdays are forgotten among the excesses of Christmas or the gloom
of January. And it’s all so serious with us goats - where’s the fun, the
frivolity?"

"I’m a hard worker,
determined to complete whatever I set my mind to - just as well considering the
writing schedule I set myself this year. I’m able to work alone - this I do on
a daily basis and I’m definitely independent. Serious as a child, I’ve probably
always been 40 so I totally agree that I’m gaining a more youthful outlook as I
get older.
Depression - it’s a
constant challenge. Solitary - totally, I love the peace and quiet and always
choose staying at home rather than go out. Ruthless, self-centred and uncaring
about others - well now, I am driven and I’m guessing in my determination to
get stuff done I have probably, hopefully now in the past, been all of these
things - but never deliberately. However to all those I’ve treated badly rest
assured I feel guilt very easily and have a hard time forgiving myself."
"We are loyal,
supportive and will tell you what you need to hear, even if it’s not what you
want to hear - what more could you want? Other than me to beta read for you. Well how about this, although we need no one to complete
us, once we love we have a hard time letting go, but, not caring for money,
cars or clothes we only need your love, loyalty and dedication - now that’s not
too much to ask, is it? However, we very rarely find ourselves attached to
people so if we feel for you consider yourself lucky! Or not, depending on
whether you’re interested in someone this intense."
"We can
detach ourselves emotionally in a second and out of all the signs we have the
most control of our feelings, but that doesn’t mean we do not feel. Because we
do, passionately, and although anger doesn’t come often when it does it is the
coldest anger you will ever feel and being the deepest earth sign it comes like
an earthquake, will destroy the base of everything and leave no one unaffected, which is why
when I saw this....
...I was
not surprised. ;-)
However I only just
squeak in as a Capricorn so I had a peek at the traits for Aquarius.
Unprejudiced - totally. Open - yes, got hypnotised once purely because my mind
was so open, at least that’s what the hypnotist told me! (Probably a story for
another time ;-)). Contrary - of course!
A bit too batty... for my kids, yes, but then they’re so easy to embarrass.
I’m thinking I could be an Aquaricorn??"

It so often depends which decanate of the sign you were born in, Georgia - ie the early, middle or late part, and also which signs you have in the rest of your natal chart. For instance, I am in the second (middle) decanate of Leo, thus a true one, but have 4 planets in Virgo, which calm it all down a bit!
Georgia is someone it's well worth following on Twitter, and her blog is a good one, too, with lots of reviews and other author related stuff ~ it's HERE.
Now, famous Capricorn writers....
... a man whose most famous creation, Holden Caulfield, might have been a struggling goat/water-carrier too ~ J D Salinger...
and Patricia Highsmith, known for her thrillers ~
you might have heard of The Talented Mr Ripley :)
Coming next: a politically thrilling Cancerian!
