Capricorn: Earth · Cardinal · ruled by Saturn
Sun (Surya) is a mild malefic that burns as much as it illuminates, and signifies soul, father, authority, vitality, government. Its fundamental drive is to be seen, to lead, and to express a distinct self. When it occupies Capricorn — a earth sign of cardinal quality ruled by Saturn — that drive is pursued patiently, strategically, and for the long haul.
Sun is neither exalted nor debilitated in Capricorn, so the result depends heavily on its house, aspects, and the strength of Saturn, the sign lord.
The areas Sun governs — soul, father, authority, vitality, government — take on Capricorn's character. Because Saturn rules Capricorn, the condition of Saturn in the chart matters nearly as much as Sun itself: a strong Saturn lifts this placement, a weak or afflicted one undercuts it.
A single placement is never the whole story. The house Sun occupies usually speaks louder than the sign, and aspects from Jupiter or Saturn can transform the result entirely. Read this page as one factor among several, not a verdict.
