Capricorn is the 10th sign of the Zodaic. The sun travels through this wintery sign from Dec 22nd-Jan 20th. It is a cardinal, feminine earth sign. In medical astrology it rules the knees, bones, skin and joints. 

​

Capricorn is represented by the Sea Goat. The goat is notorius for climbing mountains, and surviving the rigid temperatures of winter. The Sea representing the underworld, the deep, the cold.

 

This Cardinal Earth energy that Capricorns possess is what's needed to climb us out of the depths of winter to reach new heights and succeed to warmer days as the sun begins to expand and grow, increasing it's light until he reaches the Equater again, bringing balance to the earth. 

​

Capricorns are the planners, the ambitous goal-setters because of this. They know how dark and cold this world can get, so a will and drive to succeed is instilled into them. 

 

They are ruled by the orderly and strutured Saturn but Mars, the planet of war, drive, and ambition also exalts in Capicorn as well, giving the goats great focus, patience, determination, and a strong work ethic which are all traits for survival and success. 

 

Earthy Capricorns are practical, witty, motivated, composed, reliable, successful, and organized. They are career-minded people that set out to accomplish any goal they put their minds on and have strong leadership capabilities. 

​

Their tendency for dark humor comes from Saturn (where we get the word Satire). This humor is needed to make light of how hard things can be in winter - when it's cold and times are tough (knowing that better times, a new year, and more sunlight is coming) and in lofty business endevaors where a considerable about of risk is present.
