Sun in Capricorn

The Sun in Capricorn builds an identity out of responsibility. Purpose is found in achievement that lasts, in structures, in being the one who can be relied on. There is early seriousness and late warmth; Capricorn Suns often grow younger as they age. Ambition is real and quiet. The work is to make the climb about something loved rather than something owed, and to rest before it is earned.
