Capricorn the Goat. Capricorn is a practical Earth sign with the outgoing, assertive nature of the Cardinal signs. Its natural House is the 10th and its planet is Saturn. Like all the Cardinal signs Capricorn has its own unique ways of persuading compliance with its orders, it may try the mean, strict approach or just manipulation. Just as Sagittarius was enlarging and limitless. Capricorn is declining and restrictive. It is a very practical sign, prudent and conservative. The sense of duty is very strong in this sign, therefore it is usually reliable and determined. This Cardinal Earth sign combines controlling leader qualities with practical common sense. For this reason it can sometimes seem a little boring and a bit of a wet blanket. But when something needs to get done, the Capricorn will be the one organising it and despite this apparent lack of fun, it has a very dry sense of humour. The sense of discipline is strong in this ambitious sign. It should come as no surprise to discover that this sign is the natural ruler of the socially aware 10th House. The determined Capricorn will ingratiate itself with those in authority, whilst manipulating them at the same time! Like the goat, it cannot help but to attempt to climb whatever structure is present. Just as Sagittarius was optimistic, Capricorn is pessimistic. Its hard rigid outlook can prevent the possibility of finding any hope, therefore this sign is often associated with depression.
