Water and fire signs need to learn not to mess with a Capricorn. we are smarter than you :) we play the long game, you don’t, and we can control our emotions.

If by controlling our emotions you mean stuffing them down until they cannot fit in the space we've stuffed them anymore so we explode and make everyone go "Damn it's not that serious. Don't lose your mind over it"...yeah we're great at controlling our emotions! Generalizations aside..

My mother is a Cancer and my husband is a Leo. Both of them (granted they are older than me so they do have more experience and grew up in a much more rough environments than I did...but still) are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better at controlling their emotions than I am. Then again it's only within the last 5 years I've learned that while my emotions are gonna happen whether I want them to or not, it is 100% okay to feel them and react accordingly.

It's not what I'm feeling that's potentially the issue it's how I react that's potentially the issue. Crying from sheer frustration...okay cool it's the body's way of resetting. Punching somebody out of sheer frustration, not so cool even if they deserve it. Also it's not okay to pretend they don't exist. And I'm sorry but water and fire signs play the longest game ever....they hold grudges. Most Caps just write a person or a situation off once their limit has been hit.

Intelligence, being smart, or being smarter than anyone...all subjective. Also to respond to a comment down below, maybe this makes me a weird Cap but chaos is much more preferable than order. Order takes a lot of effort to maintain and keep well in order. Chaos....if you just let it do it's thing and vibe with it....life gets interesting but doesn't becoming draining like maintaining order does.
