Capricorns born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Dog are represented in Primal Astrology by the Boxer. The Dog intensifies Capricorn’s existing loyalty, helpfulness, and caring nature, but it also brings with it a tendency to be overly emotional and anxious. Boxers are not the most socially adept of Primal Zodiac signs but they are one of the most sincere. The life of a Boxer is more about overcoming internal indecision and inhibition than about finding external success, though in a perfect scenario they could go hand in hand.

Capricorns born during the Chinese Zodiac’s Year of the Dragon are represented in Primal Astrology by the Eagle. Eagles are proud, hard working, and extremely ambitious.

Eagles can easily overwork themselves and fill their days with more promises than they can keep.

Komodo Dragons succeed best when dedicated to a cause that they believe in. They have all of the tools to make their visions come to life as long as they can keep moving forward without self-destructing.
