Saturn in Capricorn

By Molly Hall, About.com

When Saturn is in its own sign Capricorn, the qualities of caution, persistence, authority are reinforced. You embody the ability to make abstract ideas real. You have enormous discipline and personal strength, when you find ideas that involve the whole Self. You know how to manage resources and when the time is right to act. You're all about concretizing plans. You're not talking about it; you're doing it! And you're happiest when your personal goals merge with those of the wider society around you.

You can be serious, burdened and overly-responsible. You get weighted down with the mantra that "life is hard." Sometimes you grow overwhelmed by life's obligations, and this brings up your worst fears. You may have to overcome resentment or jealousy toward others, especially in terms of status, wealth, social hierarchy and your perceived place in the pecking order. But Saturn gifts you with extra patience and fortitude, to match the many obstacles that seem to come your way. You are ambitious and have the will to succeed.
