Saturn, astrology’s stern authority figure, is Capricorn’s ruling planet, if you hadn’t guessed. Some zodiac signs have two planetary lords (one contemporary and one traditional), but Saturn is the solitary ruler of Capricorn in both ancient and modern astrology. Saturn represents maturation, hard effort, and taking life seriously in astrology. Capricorn zodiac energy, like its cosmic ruler, has a lot of overlap with these subjects as well. Goal-oriented, responsible, and intent on laying a firm foundation are all traits associated with Capricorn.
Even if you don’t have any Capricorn placements in your big three, you still have all 12 signs in your birth chart, so learning about Capricorn’s ruling planet is important for your cosmic adventure. Continue reading to find out more about Saturn and how it affects Capricorn’s overall mood.

What planet does Capricorn represent?
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, and Capricorns are known for their love. Saturn is the planet of responsibility, perseverance, and resolve. Some refer to it as the planet’s taskmaster, as it keeps everyone in check and ensures direct routes to the finish line. Saturn is also associated with learning lessons and recognizing limitations. Capricorns can be harsh on themselves when things don’t go as planned, and you’re always trying to learn from your mistakes so they don’t happen again. Capricorns are the ones you always want on your team, but also the ones you don’t want to let down, thanks to Saturn’s influence (Michelle Obama is a famous Capricorn, if that paints a better picture).
The Capricorn season is one of the busiest times of the year. Holidays, New Year’s Eve, and a slew of (too many) family dinners. It’s a time for introspection and profound thinking, when everyone, regardless of zodiac sign, celebrates the year’s accomplishments, laments the year’s shortcomings, and makes amends and resolutions for the future year. And consumes entire tins of Peppermint Bark from Trader Joe’s in one sitting (that’s okay, we’ve all done it). During this time, everyone might feel a little more determined to learn from the past, or to wrap the perfect gift to impress your in-laws. During Capricorn season, allow yourself to follow the regulations. You may not feel very spontaneous, but you’ll be pleased with your level of control. Let the new year begin.
What does Capricorn hate?
Capricorns despise it when negative and critical people discourage and disparage others, according to the top-ranking image for this query. Self-important people, as well as moochers, liars, flakes, and gossips, are rightly disliked.
Who should Capricorns marry?
Capricorns are most compatible with Taurus, Virgo, Scorpio, and Pisces in the end (via Compatible Astrology). In Capricorns, the water signs tend to balance the earth, while their earth provides footing to the water. But that doesn’t rule out the possibility of finding happiness with someone who isn’t your ideal compatible sign. It just implies that you’ll have to put in more effort to overcome some of the incompatibilities. “Comparing sun signs can give a decent general indication of compatibility,” explained Compatible Astrology. “However, this is only a quick and easy approach to compare, and there are going to be lots of exceptions on this broad level.”
Capricorns are attracted to partners who are dependable, hardworking, passionate, ambitious, reasonable, encouraging, organized, and responsible, as these are characteristics they often possess. They enjoy being understood by their partners, which is easy for people born under their most compatible zodiac signs.
What is your dominant planet?
The planet that has the most effect in your entire natal chart is your dominant planet. This is based on a variety of factors, including interactions with the planet and the planet’s position. Your ascendant is the ruler of your chart.
Your dominant planet encapsulates you and your chart, revealing which aspect of your personality is most apparent and powerful in your life. Your chart ruler directs the flow of your graph. It has to do with your sense of self-expression and identity. It also establishes the tone for the rest of your life.
Because many portions of a person’s natal chart are left relatively unconscious or buried, you may not experience the affects of your dominating planet as much as you feel the influences of your chart ruler. Even whether they are unconscious or concealed, these parts contribute to a person’s dominant planet. Because the ascendant is one of the most prominent and apparent points in the chart, you may experience the impacts of the chart ruler more strongly and be more conscious of its influence.
Is Jesus a Capricorn?
But here’s the thing: Jesus was, of course, a Capricorn. Yes, his birthday is December 25th, but he also possesses all of the characteristics of a model Capricorn. Allow me to count the ways as MEL’s resident astrologist/dude-strologist:
- He had a meteoric ascent to stardom, followed by a meteoric collapse. The apex of the natal chart the mid-heaven is ruled by Capricorns. They’re linked to the father, god (or anything perceived to be higher than ourselves), and our public standing. And, uh, heaven, the father, and God are all closely linked to Jesus, who is both the Son of God and a heaven-dweller.
- He was empathetic to everyone around him and quickly rose to the position of leader. He accepted his death sentence with dignity and elegance on the day before his crucifixion, rather than a histrionic freak-out (see Cancer), and surrounded himself with 12 of his closest companions (i.e., the Disciples), of which he was the leader. Judas, that one not-so-good friend, was most likely a Gemini with two faces.
- He comes from low beginnings and has only grown as a result of adversity. Dude was born in a mound of hay and worked as a carpenter to rise from the ashes to become someone we still talk about today (not to mention, the star of the best-selling book of all-time). Every Capricorn wishes to achieve this.
- He never cracked a smile. To be honest, the readiness to take on their own emotional responsibilities, as well as the problems of people around them, is the most telling indicator of a Capricorn. Capricorns appreciate becoming rocks for those they love in any way they can, without ever breaking down. He also only cried once (see John Chapter 11, Verse 35). ONCE. He didn’t even want to discuss it.
I’ve made my case. Because the birth of the Christ child, who would go on to be renowned as the King of Kings, the Prince of Peace, the Lamb of God, and so on, falls on the Capricorn-iest of Capricorns.
