Short answer: many Capricorns can overthink. As a Saturn-ruled, earth sign, Capricorn energy is cautious, goal-focused, and perfectionistic—great for success, but prone to analysis paralysis. You're not imagining it if you replay decisions, hunt for risks, or plan five steps ahead. That protective planning is a Capricorn superpower; it just sometimes runs long and crowds out action and ease.
Not every Capricorn overthinks, and your full chart, life stage, and stress load matter. Turn that strategic mind into momentum: set a decision deadline, define "good enough," write the first next step, and sense-check with a trusted realist. If rumination spikes, move your body, breathe, or touch the project for five minutes. Progress quiets the noise better than perfect plans.
