Saturn is your ruling planet and enhances your proclivities towards shrewd judgment, practical ambition, and patience. In adverse conditions Saturn may tip the scales, causing your tendency to be careful with money, into stinginess, or your desire to establish yourself professionally, into a stinginess with your time for family and friends. Saturn's negative influence may be felt also as a heaviness that encourages your natural inclination to be pessimistic.

The Sun serves to modify your pessimism, caution and tendency to be rigid, but in certain circumstances, the cheering influence the Sun can bring may be obscured by Saturn's primary influence, and you may need to look to other, positive solar influences to help lift your spirits.

The Light Moon's influence increases the 'coolness' of Capricorn's approach, both in public and in private, and this can dampen a usually somewhat repressed emotional life even further. It can also bring a spiritual rigidity to the formal practice of religion. It's influence can also benefit Capricorn's 'cool headed' approach to practical matters and bring common sense or conservatism to the fore. The influence of the Dark Moon can lead to moments of emotional freedom and self-expression, which can be both surprising and refreshing. At its best this can be enlightening, at its worst it can be embarrassing and inappropriate.

Mercury influences the mind and helps strengthen your well-established disciplined and methodical approach, especially long-term planning, as well as increasing your capacity for shrewdness. However, in other circumstances, Mercury can facilitate the expression of your pessimism and cut you off emotionally from others.

Venus increases your established attitudes to relationships and business and you may find an increase in distance if you tend to be already emotionally reserved in relationships. In better circumstances, Venus can assist your measured doggedness in achieving your goals.

Mars increases your determination and staying power and helps you to overcome obstacles to your goals, but may, in less favorable circumstances, promote aggressive tendencies, anything from grumpy behavior to full-blown anger, or have you see-sawing between self-possession and uncharacteristic outbursts.

Jupiter impacts positively on your tolerance and patience, and emotional and physical energies, and encourages optimism in a way that redresses the balance of your proclivity to be pessimistic. At other times Jupiter can also cause restlessness to rise or insistence that your way is the only right way.

Uranus reinforces your rational, cool, conservatism, when you may need to be able to express your emotions. However, Uranus is the planet that is able to encourage transformations, and you can take advantage of this in favorable conditions.

Neptune tends to reinforce uncertainty or self-doubt, but in more favorable circumstances encourages and inspires you to move towards your higher goals.
