Sun in Capricorn

The Expression of Capricorn

Capricorn energy expresses itself in responsibility, respectfulness, and conserving and maintaining structures, foundations, and rules that hold and protect value. There is a natural tendency to approach by honoring.

When not connected to honoring their feelings, Sun in Capricorn tends to put too much weight on authority and validation or becomes authoritarian. Then honoring can descend into using. To return to honoring, Capricorn must learn to respect the whole process and the different components that are being taken care of and maintained. That includes their own feelings and the feelings of others. When Sun in Capricorn demonstrates that they honor their feelings and the feelings of others, they gain respect from those around them.

Capricorn rules the knees, bones, and teeth. It is associated with corporations, laws, authority, and structures. Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, that although ultimately fair, determines our rewards by our actions. Sun in Capricorn is pulled to preserve and maintain structures and the integrity of past cultural achievements.

Capricorn and Mercury Retrograde

Sun in Capricorn often sets themselves up during the Mercury Retrograde cycle by putting the cart in front of the horse. And then the horse tramples the cart. This can occur when an over-focus on rules and goals ignores the feelings and enthusiasm of everyone involved, and that, in many ways, is the horse. Mistakes and errors can follow when people feel used or do not feel well treated, or if Capricorn puts aside their feelings or best interests because responsibility takes over. That is where errors and unexpected difficulties can occur that may not have been part of the 'plan.'

Other ways that Sun in Capricorn can contribute to the cycle is through micromanaging and not allowing the full expression and input of others. In this way, more viable or effective solutions can be ignored.
