The Zodiac - Capricorn

Saturn, Ruler of Capricorn

The ruling planet of your personal chart is the one that rules your Rising Sign.

However, if Capricorn is your Sun Sign, its ruler, Saturn, will also play an important role in your psychology.

The Lord of Time

For the Romans, the god, Saturn, after whom the planet, Saturn, is named, was the ruler of the Golden Age, while to
the Greeks, he was Cronos, the Lord of Time, with its great cycles of succeeding ages.

The great ringed planet, Saturn, once marked the known limits of the solar system. Boundaries and self-discipline, as
well as wisdom and stability, are its domain. It gives determination and endurance, and shows the way that you relate
to responsibility and commitment. Its position at birth shows where both your hardships and your real strengths lie.

As the planet of karma, and of limitations, inhibitions and boundaries, Saturn's sign and house position, as well as the
links it makes to other planets in your chart, show where, and why, you lack confidence or are afraid, and where your
real life lessons must be learned.

Saturn slows down and inhibits any planet that it touches. It shows your relationship to authority and towards your
standing in the world. Its position also reveals where, and how, you can realize ambitions and give your life a firm
foundation.
