Meaning
Capricorn is cardinal earth. Cardinal signs open each season and begin things. Its traditional ruler is Saturn, which acts most freely here; the planet that rules the opposite sign, Cancer, is in detriment. Medieval medicine assigned it the knees, bones and skin, the basis of the zodiac-man diagrams in old almanacs.
Practice
Workings that suit Capricorn are timed with the Moon or Sun in the sign and opened in the hour of Saturn. Contemplate The Devil as its gate in the tarot.
