Capricorn Rising
If you have Capricorn ascending, you tend to have a serious turn of mind. One would not call you melancholy, but you certainly aren’t frivolous. Cautious in your dealings, you are reluctant to commit yourself until you know the score. With strangers you are often quiet, reserved, and perhaps a bit shy. But once you open up you can be lively, friendly, warm, and expressive.
Capricorn Ascendants have strong personalities, possess great willpower and determination, and diligently pursue their goals. These goals are usually for a better life—money, status, a higher standing in the community for your family. It’s important to you to feel that your life is meaningful. You have self-esteem and are reliable, dependable, and stable. Sometimes, though, you will strive toward a goal and when you achieve it will still not be happy. You have a sense that something is missing, and you continue your search.
You have an active mind with quick intelligence and an ability to concentrate. You can ferret out information, see flaws in a plan, and map things out ahead in detail. Sometimes you may be accused of being too calculating, because you add up all the pros and cons before embarking on a project. If an opponent has a weakness, you are also quick to spot it—and not entirely above using it to your advantage. You tend to fuss over details to make sure all contingencies have been covered. It’s your way of being in control—you don’t want bad luck to catch you unprepared. Rising-Capricorns are worriers; in youth you worry about life, in old age about death. In middle age you worry about success.
It isn’t always easy for Rising-Capricorns to show their feelings, though powerful feelings do exist. You love deeply, are loyal and protective, and go out of your way to do kind deeds for others. However, you are often torn by jealousy and resentment (which you hide), and down deep you never really forgive someone who does you an injury. What you achieve is mainly through your own efforts rather than through the influence of others. Though it happens that Rising-Capricorns seem to benefit financially through marriage, your own hard work within the union is largely responsible for your gain.
With Capricorn Ascendants there is often a rivalry with brothers and sisters, or some kind of disagreement with their fathers. As a person with Capricorn rising, you tend to have a small, well-shaped head, deep and penetrating eyes, and a beautiful smile with good-looking teeth. You have strong feet and usually enjoy walking or jogging.
The planet Saturn, which rules Capricorn, is very prominent in your birth chart. The influence of Saturn bestows discipline, ambition, patience, determination, good endurance, and carefulness. It also encourages stubbornness, hardship, melancholy, aloofness, pessimism, and selfishness.
