Capricorn can be emotionally reserved to the point of coldness, over-worked to the point of burnout, and so focused on achievement that they miss the present. They may equate their worth with productivity. Their growth edge is learning to value rest and emotional connection as much as achievement.
Saturn, the planet of discipline, responsibility, and time, rules Capricorn. This explains their drive for structure, their mature perspective, and their understanding that great things require sustained effort over time.
