On January 24, drive planet Mars also changes to the zodiac sign of Capricorn. 

As an animal of the high mountains, Capricorn knows where the weights of life lie - where above and below is. Thus he is not easily dazzled, has everything under control. Nevertheless, the Capricorn should not be pushed so easily into the corner of the "cold soul", because behind his facade waits a profundity that is unparalleled and is also present in the original representation of the zodiac sign. Secondly, he is an absolute workhorse and this makes him - like his earth element "colleagues" Virgo and Taurus - a zodiac sign that can build up a considerable fortune. This is immediately proven by looking at the list of successful entrepreneurs. Business acrobats like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, shipping legend Aristotle Onassis, cosmetics entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein (and her rival Elizabeth Arden) or Hilton founder Conrad Nicholson Hilton were all born under the zodiac sign of Capricorn and have created empires with perseverance and discipline.
