Dec 25, 2025
♑️ You've got Capricorn in your chart and I wanna teach you how to understand that ambitious, grounded, goal-seeking, responsible and hard working energy of yours and what it reveals about your life's purpose.
🤓 Even if you don't have a single planet or your rising sign in Capricorn ♑️, you have Capricorn ♑️ occupying one of the houses in your chart.
❤️🔥 If Capricorn ♑️ falls into one of your career houses (2nd, 6th, 10th or MC), the planetary ruler of one of your career houses is in Capricorn ♑️, your north or south node is in Capricorn ♑️, Saturn ♄ is in one of your career houses OR your sun, moon or rising sign (AC) is Capricorn ♑️, pay close attention because you're on this planet to work hard and become an authority figure in something.
Not sure and wanna know ALL the things about your purpose, book a Purpose Astrology Reading with me.
Reminder: I practice astrology using the Whole Sign house system, which means every sign occupies one of the 12 houses in your chart.
If you've had a reading or taken a class with me, this is how you've seen your chart.
If you use Placidus or another house system based on the angles in your chart, you might have some signs that don't have any house cusps (aka intercepted) and other signs that have 2 or more.
I invite you to take a peek at your chart in Whole Signs to see how it resonates and then choose the one that feels most true to you and your life experiences.

Also...any aspects to a planet (lines on your chart connecting it with another planet) flavor that planet's expression, so if you feel less Capricorn-like, that may be why.
☉ Sun: The Sun signifies ego, core sense of self and greatest expression of purpose.
With your sun in Capricorn, you're here to work hard to reach your goals, whatever they may be.
Be strategic, responsible and disciplined, but also learn how to balance work and play. Work comes naturally to you. Play, not so much. As you get older this will become easier for you to do.
You are here to be an authority figure for others. People will see you as an authority before you see it in yourself. Use what others see you as an authority in, to help you see yourself and your ultimate expression of purpose more clearly.
☾ Moon: The moon signifies emotions and intuition. It let's you know what you need to feel safe + secure to do your purpose work out in the world.
The moon doesn't like to be in Capricorn. It's at its detriment here. The moon FEELS deeply and moves intuitively. Capricorn is uncomfortable with emotions and moves logically.
With your moon in Capricorn you need predictable and practical structure in your life. You need to set realistic goals and take action to achieve them to feel safe + secure to fully express your purpose.
Your intuition speaks to you through your mind giving you practical guidance without emotional fanfare. It's certain, grounded and unapologetic.
☿ Mercury: Mercury is all about thought, learning and communication.
With your Mercury in Capricorn, you speak with authority, even when you don't feel like an authority. Your words have the power to move others to action, so be mindful of what comes out of your mouth.
People see you as a natural authority figure, so don't abuse that gift. Don't give advice that is out of integrity with your choices and experiences.
Share the practical and grounded wisdom you have gained throughout your life. Don't let perfectionism hold you back.
♂Mars: Mars signifies action, courage and bravery.
Mars loves to be in Capricorn. Mars has passion and motivation. Capricorn has goals to achieve and the stamina to stay the course.
With your Mars in Capricorn, you're motivated to set goals and achieve them.
Just because you can work yourself to death achieving things, doesn't mean those things are aligned with your soul's greatest expression of purpose.
Take action on what lights you up and excites you. If you're not passionate about it, don't bother. It means your soul isn't a YES and you're just gonna end up frustrated meeting challenge after challenge.
♀Venus: Venus is all about love, peace, balance, money, values and beauty.
With your Venus in Capricorn, you love setting goals, and working hard to achieve them.
Your relationships matter and you are willing to put in the hard work to build something that lasts. This inspires other people to do the same.
The world of romantic movies and romcoms teaches us that all the work on a relationship happens to get the relationship and then happily ever after just happens with little effort. If it takes effort, it must be wrong.
You are the shining example of what's possible in relationships (or with money, creative endeavors, balance or beauty) when you're disciplined, committed and put in the work.
♃ Jupiter: Jupiter brings luck, success and expansion. It invites you to live in integrity.
Jupiter hates being in Capricorn. It's at its fall. Jupiter wants adventure and expansion. Capricorn wants hard work and to build something sturdy on a tried-and-true foundation.
With your Jupiter in Capricorn, you need to set realistic goals and achieve them to feel like you're living in integrity.
Your sense of adventure comes from setting a goal, working towards it and reaching it. When you do this Jupiter shows up to support you, bringing opportunities your way.
Be mindful that your faith that things will all work out, doesn't keep you from putting in the effort it takes to make manifest your goals. And that you don't overwork yourself chasing goals that aren't aligned with your purpose path.
♄ Saturn: Saturn is the planet of discipline, responsibility and hard work.
Saturn likes being in Capricorn. It's at home here. They both want to do the right thing, work hard and overcome challenges.
With Saturn in Capricorn, people see you as a natural authority figure.
You are disciplined and responsible; always willing to put in the hard work required to reach your goals.
You have the will to push through challenges and roadblocks, no matter how difficult.
Be sure to check in with yourself to ensure that it's worth the effort and actually aligned with your purpose path, so you don't end up forging a path that was never yours, to begin with.
♅ Uranus: Uranus brings change, disruption and innovation.
With Uranus in Capricorn, you've got weird, out-of-the box and innovative goals and dreams that you're willing to put in the time, effort and energy to bring to fruition.
You're here to breathe fresh air (ideas) into old structures (systems), which are no longer serving the highest good for humanity.
Be your authentic self and share your unconventional ideas
♆ Neptune: Neptune is the planet of spirituality, fantasy, compassion and unconditional love.
Neptune hates being in Capricorn. Neptune wants something spiritual and transcendent. Capricorn wants something practical and grounded.
With your Neptune in Capricorn, you're spiritually grounded and practical. You have the capacity to be seen as an authority on all things spiritual.
Work can feel transcendent and spiritual for you. Just, be mindful that you don't use your work or your goals as a means to escape your reality, instead of addressing what's not working in your life.
♇ Pluto: Pluto is the planet of transformation and energy alchemy.
With your Pluto in Capricorn, setting and achieving a goal is a transformative and healing experience for you.
You're able to have an experience and alchemize it into grounded and practical advice to help others set and achieve big goals.
