Welcome back to the 10th zodiac sign, the Ambitious Goats- Capricorns. This is the last earth sign of the zodiac belt as well as the last moving one. Now this creates an interesting combination of “Moving- Earth”. We will come back to this concept later in the article but lets first begin with the physical appearance of a Capricorn ascendant.
People who have Capricorn as their ascendant mostly have lean, tall kind of a body structure. They might have sharp features and somewhat of a pale touch to their appearance. Now this will not apply to people with their sun/moon or other planets in the sign. Ascendant rules your physical appearance and how the world sees you. So with the natural 10th sign in your ascendant you most likely will have a serious saturnian aspect to your looks owing to Saturn’s rulership of the sign.
Capricorns being ruled by Saturn, more often than not do not have a tendency to gain weight which can be a great advantage for some people but they might also be prone to health issues. Again, lot of these can be modified based on the placement of Saturn and other planets in the natal chart.
Like the symbol associated with the sign, a mountain goat, Capricorn ascendants have the ability to survive in the most adverse terrains with minimal resources. The goat symbolizes the material earth bound aspect of the sign. These are the people who would go through extreme rough patches in life but still not give up and continue to work hard to achieve a higher standing in life. Capricorn ascendants can most certainly be considered as the extreme self-disciplined, responsible and goal-oriented people that you would ever come across.
Having Capricorn as one’s ascendant, the natives have a very earthy composure about them. Being in the earth element gives these people a calmness similar to the other earth signs but with Capricorn, this calmness is mostly due to the fact that they are busy in analysis and making plans for their life/situation. They can be regarded as the best planners of the zodiac. They are very cautious people and will evaluate all possible outcomes of a situation before diving in. This gives them the calmness they demonstrate even in dire situations.
Due to their ability to always think before they act, they can be great problem solvers and advisers for other people. If you know of people in your surrounding who, you know will always have great advice for you and solutions to your problems especially related to career, money etc, know that you are most likely in the presence of a Capricorn.
Along with the Earthy element, Capricorn is a moving sign. What this means is it requires change and movement in its life. These people are never scared of changes, and put in their planning skills, these ascendants can be the people who handle big changes in their life in the best possible way.
They are always looking at opportunities to grow both professionally and personally. Ruling the natural 10th house of career, they might be the people moving jobs, putting themselves in situation needing lot of hard work and learning for growth.
But as with every aspect of life, these qualities of a Capricorn can be self-harming as well. They can become so focused on their outer life that they tend to disregard their as well as others emotions. These natives are not very good at sharing their feelings. Probably they don’t know how to. Maybe because of their lagna lord being Saturn, such people find it hard to deal with emotional situations and will probably try to find a logical solution to one. If you or someone who has predominant Capricorn energy in their chart, it will be very beneficial for you to try to relax and live life a little. Not everything needs to be controlled and handled all the time. Its alright to not know all solutions!!
In addition to ascendant ruling your physical body, it also sets a path for the rest of the chart. Based on that, other signs go into various houses that govern different areas of life. With Capricorn in your ascendant, the earth signs of Taurus and Virgo go into your 5-9 trikon houses. Making most of your dharma duties inclined towards material possessions. Not to sound that such people are materialistic, but for them being able to have a good home, profession and wealth is utterly important and is linked to their happiness. This is another reason for their ambitious and competitive nature. Their kendra houses are occupied by all moving signs allowing them to be comfortable with the necessary change in life to grow.
Overall to conclude, if you ever need a sound adviser, hard-worker with never giving up attitude, a Capricorn ascendant is your guy/gal. Just keep in mind, to motivate them to express their emotional side as well as they do their professional one.
See you all later with the next ascendant in line the visionary Aquarius…
