What does the Sun or Moon in Capricorn mean?

Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn, and it reads as the willingness to do the unglamorous work that a long plan actually requires.

The Sun enters Capricorn at the December solstice and stays about a month. A Capricorn Moon lasts about two and a half days and usually reads as more reserved and more practical, comfortable with getting on with it rather than talking about it.

Cardinal means it starts things, and earth means it starts the things that can be built. Saturn as ruler brings the sense of time and consequence, which is what makes this sign patient. The cost is that seriousness can quietly become the only mode you allow yourself, and easing it is permitted.

In the tropical zodiac Capricorn begins at the December solstice, the year's turning point in the north, which is where its reputation for endurance comes from.
