Capricorn is the symbol of order, discipline, obedience, and authority, representing the conquest and peak of materiality for humankind. It embodies structure and organization — how individuals behave in society and how they learn to relate in an orderly way, building the foundation for collective life.

Endowed with full maturity after having experienced all its potential in Sagittarius, humankind now possesses great life experience, capable of organizing individuals and social structures. Capricorn brings a grounded, determined energy that makes efficient construction possible. Wisdom becomes the primary tool to achieve one’s goals. Check your personal horoscope to see if Capricorn is currently interacting with the planetary transits.

Capricornian energy is perfectionist, cautious, responsible, traditional, and serious — the very figure of the wise elder, the hermit. The shadow side of this energy can be domineering, insensitive, hypocritical, and resentful. The head begins to dominate the heart, persistence gives way to fear of competition, and mental clarity gives way to a lack of understanding.

Balanced Capricorn energy allows for greater receptivity to others' ideas and opinions, increased tolerance, the ability to share burdens, a helpful spirit, and precise pragmatism.
