Capricorn

Ruler – Saturn; earth element, cardinal, yin

Capricorn the Goat-Fish merges the hard-headed shrewdness of the goat with the pack security of fish. It is a practical, hard-working sign that wants respect, order, and a predictable flow of activities. Beneath the sober exterior lies a tender emotional nature that benefits from close family ties and a reliable life partner. Capricorn creates solid foundations for future success, and provides a backbone and stamina for enterprises. 

The Moon is in detriment and Mars exalts in this sign. Capricorn’s challenges stem from the need to control life’s variables, health issues, or long-term consequences from emotional wounds. This sign is prone to pessimism and may resist healing or embracing positivity after disappointments.
