Planets in Capricorn

Moon

The Moon in Capricorn Moon is determined, steadfast and reliable. They are a very hard worker who will persist almost forever to reach a goal. Their emotions and responses are somewhat inhibited, and people around them may view them as a little cold, rigid and unfeeling. They are self-conscious and emotionally conservative, and they are supersensitive to real, or fancied, slights. They are reserved in most ways, especially in communicating, and the way they interact with people. They can be down-to-earth and emotionally stable when things are going well, but when they aren't, they can become dispirited and gloomy.

They want to be recognised as an important and powerful person, and many of their reactions are geared toward their effort to achieve status and position. Their attitude toward life in general is that of the traditionalist because they were raised to believe in solid values and a very conservative approach to living. A practical, steady approach to problem solving makes them an superb manager with excellent executive abilities.

They are loyal, devoted and highly dependable in relationships with others, but they are not demonstrative. Rarely do they seem to show their love in the more conventional ways or express deep emotions, but they show they care by being available, by coming home on time and by providing for financial needs. They're likely to be strict and demanding with their own children, wanting them to be responsible and self-sufficient.

Mercury

Mercury in Capricorn produces a mind that is clear, sometimes rigid and narrow, and always resourceful and cautious. Their speech and communication is organised and follows a logical and orderly pattern suggesting that they carefully examine and edit their words before they come out. They hardly ever say something that they are sorry for later. However, they can have a tendency toward moodiness and sulking, and may find it hard to show any optimism. They are not the most talkative or sociable of people, and are especially self-conscience about speaking to strangers.

Their love of tradition, and their natural pessimism, makes them slow to change premises and patterns that have worked in the past. Sceptical and cautious, they may be conservative to a fault. Ideas that shake long-held beliefs may not be accepted.

They have excellent powers of concentration, and a very retentive memory. Although they may not be a quick learner, they never forget what has been absorbed. However, they are often insecure about their mental abilities, and they work hard to develop themselves with education and experience opportunities. Once they put their mind to a task, it will surely be completed and done well. They do particularly well on long, drawn out projects that require determination and perseverance.

Venus

Venus in Capricorn produces a seriousness, a sense of caution, and a degree of pride associated with the affections. They are often a little timid in love affairs, and very reserved in expressing feelings. They cannot bear to be hurt and will hold back if feelings of insecurity arise. Although their romantic feelings may be extremely strong inside, on the surface they may appear emotionally reserved and distant. They display a quiet personal refinement and dignity, and they are unlikely to make any overt public displays of emotion. They are very steadfast and loyal, and have a deep sense of responsibility in romantic attachments and marriage.

Mars

Mars in Capricorn produces the energies that are channelled into the arena of personal attainment, and thus, the practical energy is highest here. Their public image is very dignified and reserved, and they conceal most of their feelings behind a stiff and conservative demeanour. They feel they must always be in control of themselves and their emotions. They take responsibility seriously, often too seriously.

They have a full appreciation of sensual pleasures and their sex drive is strong. Physical and sexual energy improves with age and often leads to great achievements when others have failed. This placement is known for the ability to retain sexual vitality until very late in life; in these later years, they are apt to be less restrained than in their youth.

They have strong material urges, but even stronger is the need to achieve status and recognition. They are hard-working, very determined, with a tendency to become something of a workaholic. They have little use for laziness or a lack of ambition. They often have innate managerial skills and good old-fashioned common sense.

Somewhat pessimistic, they go looking for problems and expecting the worst, and have a tendency to be too sceptical and cautious. They have difficulty breaking out of old habit patterns and they are slow to pick up on new ideas. They are likely to miss out on some real opportunities on this account.

Jupiter

Jupiter in Capricorn expands dedication, moral standards and ability to succeed. They are a keeper of the letter of the law and they display the highest ethics in business or any public office. Their moral conduct is beyond reproach. Answering a call of both a sense of duty to society and personal ambition, they have a strong drive for power positions. They hold traditional and conservative views regarding most of life's major issues.

Saturn

Saturn in Capricorn limits or controls the hard, ruthless qualities of its subjects while teaching them how to advance slowly and cautiously without fear of rejection. Saturn is strongest in this placement as this is its natural sign. Diligent and dependable, they want to assume responsibility. Their career is very important to them, and they invest much into it and they expect to get much out of it. Their rise to the top will probably be very slow, but it will be steady. They always do more than their share, although they may find it hard to delegate authority, as they do not trust others' ability to live up to their standards. Their determination will eventually pay off, if perhaps rather late in life.

Uranus

Uranus in Capricorn often is linked to ruthless power, insensitivity and new regulations. People born with this placement tend to be accepting of changes that add to the security and protection of society.
