Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac, located in the heart of winter in the northern hemisphere, a season of stripping down but also of underground preparation. This cardinal Earth sign is ruled by Saturn, the planet of time, rigor, and structures. Capricorn embodies discipline, prudence, and long-term ambition. It does not seek the spotlight but the summits. Far from being cold, it deploys its energy in construction, often patient, sometimes solitary, of a lasting work, whether a career, a home, or a worldview.
