Disciplined, goal-driven and responsible — the sign of the mountain.
- Dates
- December 22 – January 19
- Element
- Earth
- Ruling planet
- Saturn
Capricorn takes on the long road. For this Saturn-ruled earth sign, success is not a moment of brilliance but a climb spread over years — which is where its patience comes from.
Capricorn's seriousness gets mistaken for coldness, but beneath it lies a strong sense of duty. It doesn't dodge burdens; more often it picks them up unasked.

Love and relationships
Capricorn steps slowly in love but doesn't take a step back. Look for its romance not in grand words but in promises kept. Once trust is built, it is unexpectedly tender.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Capricorn dates?
December 22 – January 19. Capricorn is the sign the Sun enters at the winter solstice — the point after the shortest day where the light starts lengthening again. Born between December 21–23 or January 19–20, your sign may come out as Sagittarius or Aquarius.
What does the Capricorn ruling planet mean?
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn — the planet of limit, time and responsibility. Saturn does not accelerate, it consolidates. That is why Capricorn thinks long-term, builds structure and refuses the easy route. The same planet is the source of its hardness toward itself.
