Exploring the Energy of Capricorn
Capricorn Energy
Do you known a solar Capricorn in your life? (also known as star sign Capricorn). These people are typically very hardworking, there is also an earnest nature to them. Earnestness if one of my favourite traits about this sign.
While known for being practical, Capricorn has a softness with a strong yin energy. There is a gentle humbleness to this sign. Capricorn picks up on energy, this sign is exceptionally wise and their is an ancient wisdom within Capricorn. This sign can sense when the energy is off, but is not combative in their approach.
Summary of Capricorn Associations
Element
Capricorn is one of the three earth signs. As an earth sign, Capricorn is very steady, patient and traditional. This sign is known for its practical ability, the sign most likely to work on something with their hands.
Modality
Capricorn has a cardinal modality, meaning this sign is wonderful at new beginnings or commencing a task or project. Capricorn has the “igniting” energy required to begin and does not shy away from hard work. Interestingly, the solar Capricorn Season always coincides with a new calendar year. So you will always known that when it is Christmas and New Years Eve, we are in Capricorn Season.
10th House
Capricorn shares similar traits to the tenth house in astrology. However, the signs and houses are different so while Capricorn overlaps with traits of the 10th house, Capricorn is separate to the meaning of the 10th house.
Planetary Ruler
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and boundaries. The astrological event we experience known as a “Saturn Return” is broadly known and has somewhat caused reputational damage to Saturn. Perhaps also is the ancient astrology term “malefic” (product of evil / harmful) used to describe Saturn has also given rise to some fear about this planet. Yes, Saturn demands a lot from you and can create tougher conditions, but the planet does have rewards. Saturn wants you to work hard at something over a long period of time. Saturn is not interested in an overnight success or cutting corners, this planet influences Capricorn by creating a sign that wants to create work of a high-quality standard, to take time and do things properly rather than rushing. That brings me to another point, don’t rush a Capricorn, it isn’t their style. They will get done what they set out to do, if given the time or space and they will produce amazing work.

Common associations of Capricorn.
The Devil Tarot Card
Capricorn is associated with The Devil tarot card. One of the better known cards in pop culture. To me, tarot is not about fortune telling, but rather a tool to connect to your soul. The cards work as a mirror to your soul and share with you what you need to know at any moment.
When The Devil tarot card presents itself in a reading, it does not mean that you are The Devil, the meaning is much more nuance and symbolic. Now one of the common keywords associated with this card is temptation, and when this cards presents itself in a reading it can be the warning that it is time for discipline (Capricorn word) against what is tempting you and taking away from your better intentions.
