Saturn in Capricorn
Saturn is at home in Capricorn: discipline, ambition and time are allies. Structure is built around achievement and responsibility; fear is of failure and of being found unequal to the task. Authority is natural and earned. The work is to make the mountain about something loved, and to rest on the way up.
