Saturn in Capricorn

Saturn in the sign of Capricorn

Saturn in Capricorn is in its own sign and is thus in strength. Persistence, good concentration, care for the suffering and a capacity for sacrifice may manifest. These people may easily yield to changes of mood, or be inclined to melancholy, to yield to the temptation of committing immoral deeds; they may be widely known and talented in art. Egoism and hot temper may also appear. They receive money from the family, from their marriage partner, and have success in the sphere of producing goods connected with the land. They usually live far from the place where they were born. (Tom Hopke)

Saturn in Capricorn: capricious, with a constant feeling of dissatisfaction, greedy, stays angry for a long time. Capable, stands out among his relatives, famous and respected in his own circle. (Sri Govind Swarup Agarwal)

When Saturn is in Capricorn it is in its own sign. This is the most fortunate place for material well-being. People are ready to work from morning till night for their own advantage. They are very much concerned about their material prosperity. In order to increase their wealth the person is ready to make great sacrifices. They do not think about the laws of karma and about the consequences of their actions. They have a great thirst for wealth and power, and they try in every way to slake this thirst. These people are not sincere in love and look for the variant that is advantageous to them. Therefore their marriage often turns out unsuccessful. They have no high moral principles. As a rule they always find a way to accumulate a fortune. This is the very best placement for those who want to be wealthy and influential. Very ambitious, disciplined, organised people, they know how to take the right decision at the necessary moment and obtain a result. They are very hardy and patient and attain great heights. They consider that only their path can bring success, and that all other people must follow their example. They can manage large companies and bring them to prosperity.

Of course, these negative, inhumane indications may go unnoticed if Saturn in Capricorn is under the aspect of Jupiter. A superb placement for officials and politicians. For them the main things are I, My Family and Work. They know how to talk people round and to convince. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the Second World War was Winston Churchill, who was born when Saturn was in Capricorn. He is considered one of the best Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. The first black president of the USA, Barack Obama, was also born when Saturn was in Capricorn. In their homelands Churchill and Obama are considered all but the best orators among heads of state. They need to learn to relax a little and to enjoy the work they have done before beginning the next piece of work. (Mahesh Dharmadasa)

Results of the placement of Shani (Saturn) in the rashi Makara (the sign of Capricorn)

If Shani is in Makara, then the person will acquire a dignity like that of a king and happiness from possessing incenses (fragrances, perfumes), flowers, Kasturi, sandalwood and other similar aromatic things. («Jataka Bharanam» 19.82)

Commentary: Makara [Capricorn] is Shani's [Saturn's] own Rashi [sign]. Therefore, if Shani receives no influence from malefic Grahas [planets], the person will have a serious character, he will be intellectual, will be a good thinker, will hate negligence, will dwell in doubts, will be exceedingly ambitious and enclosed in his own world. He performs work very carefully, skilfully and completely. The native as a rule is not inclined to leave anything unfinished. He may be egoistic in attaining his goals, may possess an astonishing capacity for analysing and defining things, may love, or may be negligent, but does so intelligently.

The degree to which the results mentioned above manifest: If all three — 1) the Rashi [sign], 2) the ruler of the Rashi [sign] and 3) the Graha [planet] — are endowed with strength, then the full result will be obtained. The lesser or greater degree of the results can be learned by studying the position of the ruler of the Rashi: whether it is in debilitation, in exaltation, in its own Rashi, whether it is combust and so on. («Jataka Bharanam» 19.85)
