Overview
A disciplined, ambitious and enduring sign. Capricorn Moon is linked to responsibility, patience and long-term achievement. In Vedic astrology Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, is a earth and movable sign, and traditionally harmonises well with Taurus and Virgo.
Element & quality
Capricorn is a earth sign, associated in tradition with steadiness, patience and practicality, and a movable sign — “movable” (chara) — tradition links it to initiative and change, starting new things. These are broad traditional categories for the sign itself, not a description of any one person.
Ruling planet
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, which in a Vedic chart represents your discipline, responsibilities and hard lessons. Where the Moon sits in your own chart, and the planets around it, matter far more than the sign alone — this page describes only the sign in general.
How to use this
Think of your Raasi as one broad brushstroke, useful for learning the tradition and for everyday almanac timing — not a forecast of your life. Two people with the same Moon sign can be nothing alike. Take what feels useful as a gentle lens, and leave the rest.
