Sun in Capricorn ( Ravi makara rashiye )

The symbol of Capricorn is the Goat, or Sea-Goat, which is a mountain goat with a dolphin tail. There is the domestic goat who can survive in almost any conditions, the ambitious goat who climbs high on the mountain, the old goat, the scape-goat, and even the god who changed his form into a goat to escape his enemy, using a fish tail to swim away.

The darkest day of the year and the return of more light begins winter just before Christmas. The sun is in Capricorn as the new calendar year begins when people are making plans and resolutions and facing the practical realities of another cycle. The coldest season of the year is a time for deep contemplation.

Capricorn is the cardinal earth sign developing initiative and action toward practical, utilitarian goals. The vision and principles of the first universal sign, Sagittarius, are put into application in concrete form in Capricorn.

Saturn, the beautiful planet of the rings, which is the most distant planet to be seen by the naked eye and thus of traditional astrology, influences Capricorn, Saturn is Kronos, the father of Zeus, and is symbolic of time, limit, control, order, responsibility, authority, tradition, father, seriousness, structure, such as the ego or skeleton, and negatively fear.
The self-expression of Capricorn is I USE. They are pragmatic and can plan and carry it through. They must be careful about being calculating and ruthless. However, their coolness and gravity in realizing the weight of a situation enables them to be impartial, just, and accurate in their decisions.


Capricorns can be very ambitious but have the patience to wait and persevere; they are industrious and determined. They are able to organize, utilize, conserve, and crystallize their objectives due to the concentration and steadiness of their effort.

The Capricorn personality is usually reserved, serious, cautious, concerned, diplomatic, dignified, and contemplative. Occasionally they flip over and become humorous or clownish Their patience can endure hardship, obstacles, and delays, and to others they may seem too reasonable, logical, or intellectual.

Capricorn is aware of the ego and its limitations and the need for control. In addition to thinking about limits and controls, they also are concerned about the order-chaos polarity. They delve very deeply into things, and the intellect may become profound.

From both angles of ambition they must beware of confusing humility and service with subservience and blind obedience. The knees are associated with Capricorn, and the wise one learns that they are to be bent in prayer to God rather than to an outside authority.

The vibration of Saturn is very heavy and is sometimes misunderstood and maligned by the immature who are not able to understand that responsibility, control, order, and old age are a necessary part of this world. Because of these qualities of Saturn, Capricorn is often a difficult, unpopular path, but the goals which can be attained are very high and are often reached late in life.

Capricorn usually prefers steady and mature love. Feelings are expressed cautiously, but the devoted Capricorn will do a tremendous amount for his or her beloved. They must learn that to bear the heavy burdens of others does not teach others to solve their own problems.
Capricorn's true goal is perfection of self.
