Saturn in Capricorn

Saturn in Capricorn is where Saturn sat in the zodiac at the moment of birth, the part of a chart read for discipline, doubt and what takes years. Saturn stays in a sign for about two and a half years, so a Saturn sign is shared with everyone born in the same stretch of years. Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign.

Of the 6,194 well-known people in StarMap's dataset, 649 have Saturn in Capricorn for the whole of their birth date. Corbin Bleu, Walt Disney and Mikhail Gorbachev are among them. Their commonest Sun signs are Virgo (61), Sagittarius (60) and Scorpio (59); every Sun sign appears with Saturn in Capricorn. 4 more were born on a day Saturn moved into or out of Capricorn and are left out, because the hour decides and StarMap has no birth time for them.

What Saturn in Capricorn means

Read for discipline, doubt and what takes years. If this is your placement:

Saturn is at home here, and you build discipline as naturally as breathing, often carrying responsibility earlier than most people your age. The doubt is never quite believing you have achieved enough to relax. Others recognise your authority well before you are willing to claim it yourself.

One placement is one part of a chart; the Sun, the Moon, the rising sign and the planets around them change how it plays out. Draw your whole chart to see the rest.

Positions are computed from each person’s birth date and place with the astronomy-engine ephemeris, checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth data comes from Wikidata; a placement is listed only when it holds for the whole birth date, and a rising sign only with a birth time Astro-Databank records. Readings describe tendencies, for entertainment and self-reflection; StarMap predicts nothing. Every planet in every sign.
