Capricorn, traditionally ruled by the planet Saturn, is goal-oriented, and channels energy into strategic planning to attain long-term results. Physically it is related to the knees, and to a certain extent the joints, skin and bones, and the crystallization of energy. It is said to have a feminine nature, and is therefore more reactive and responsive in its energy expression. A Cardinal sign, Capricorn will constantly be working toward its ambitions, and also being an Earth sign, goals tend to be practical and related to material interests.

Planets in Capricorn will express themselves in a determined and serious manner, striving for honor and some kind of recognition in society. There is a desire and ability to reach the top through hard work and perseverance.

Status and executive power are important - as is social position. If there are setbacks at early stages of the life, there can be a certain formality and lack of spontaneity with planets in this sign. There is also a tendency to control the feelings and exert considerable self-discipline over everything. However, better balance would be achieved through expanding emotional sensitivity and concern for others. Capricorn has rather conventional tastes and quite a strong sense of morality, which tends to judge weaknesses rather severely and expect a high standard in relationship. It is essential to find a balance between the professional and personal life, and while public commitments can often take priority over personal needs, Capricorn will always be conscientious in their duty to the family. Although partners can find this sign rather stiff and sometimes lacking emotional connection, they are trustworthy and devoted, and when the outer facade melts, they can be quite soft and sensual partners.

Moon in Capricorn approaches life from a practical, down to earth, prudent and emotionally cautious perspective. The hard working nature here makes for executive capacity and advances whatever they involve themselves with in a sure and stable manner, keeping long term goals clearly in sight. There is a need to avoid gloominess and austerity or to reduce the significance of life to practical accomplishments. Once emotionally present, these people bring practical solution to relationship problems, but the tendency here is to "fix" problems rather than to "feel" feelings.

Mercury in Capricorn is the stable, hard working, pragmatic, if sometimes inflexible, executive mind. These people have a calculating if serious outlook and rarely rush into anything. They set long term goals, which they reach with patient determination. Conservative in their approach to anything, under affliction they can be overly rigid, stiff and formal with a stick-in-the-mud nature ready to burst any balloon with cold practicality. Mathematics and science may be strong skills, and they make good teachers, investment counselors, or insurance salespeople as they have a logical approach, an appreciation for rules and regulations, and a willingness to wait for reward.

Venus in Capricorn is hardly the great romantic and often has to be dragged away from work long enough to remember that many of tomorrow's goals require enjoying some life today. These people work hard for their reward, and have plenty of security behind them, which comes naturally as they have excellent money making skills. While they are steady and faithful, they are not demonstrative or particularly generous, and their stern nature can become tiresome unless the relationship is very well suited. Cool in their love nature, this placement often requires a deep and sometimes sacrificial commitment from those who love them. Often, they are better suited to a career than a demanding relationship or parenthood, where their sternness can be oppressive. They are great at holding the traditional values and will work tirelessly to accomplish success.

Mars is Capricorn is an extremely determined and hardworking placement, willing to sacrifice to reach long term goals. Here we find the executive of the world, working 80 hour weeks and enjoying the sense of accomplishment and fulfilled ambition. If other areas of the chart feed this ambitious nature, it may eclipse all else in the life and the status that comes with this success can become a major driving force for this placement. Enjoying a leadership roll, as long as it's adequately compensated, they make great directors as they enjoy authority and power, although they meet any form of incompetence with a rigid and sometimes judgmental sternness.
