What it means
Capricorn is an earth sign and a cardinal sign, which means it starts practical projects and expects them to hold up. Its symbol is the sea-goat, a creature with a goat's body and a fish's tail, able to climb mountains and move through deep water. Saturn, its ruler, is the planet of time, limits and hard-won results. The Codex calls the Capricorn Sun the achiever, whose purpose is to build structures and leave a legacy. It tends to shine when working toward long-term goals with integrity.
Strengths
Patience, self-discipline, dependability, dry humor, and a talent for turning plans into results.
Challenges
Pessimism, overwork, rigidity, and measuring its worth only by what it has achieved.
Dates
The Sun moves through Capricorn from about December 22 to January 19. The exact dates shift by a day or so from year to year, so if you were born near either edge, your birth time and place decide which sign your Sun is in. This range crosses the new year, so a birthday in late December and one in mid January can share the same Sun sign. A free blueprint calculates it exactly.
How Cosmic Array reads it
Your Sun is one part of the chart, not the whole of it. The Moon and Rising sign change the picture: a Capricorn Sun with a Pisces Moon may run a tight schedule by day and still need music, art or quiet daydreaming to recover. Cosmic Array also reads your Sun against your numerology and Human Design, and where they pull in different directions, the blueprint names that tension instead of picking one side.
