A double Capricorn reads as a pure, concentrated version of the sign, vivid and unmistakable, for better and for worse.

With both your sun and ascendant in earth signs, there is little gap between who you are and how you seem, so people tend to read you accurately from the start.
In terms of modality, you instinctively start things, take charge and set the direction, and your cardinal ascendant comes across as someone who initiates and takes the lead.
