Sun in Capricorn, what it means

The Sun is the king of the planets and the Atmakaraka, the significator of the soul. It rules vitality, confidence, the father, government, authority and reputation. The Sun stays about 30 days in each sign, and its entry into a new sign is called a Sankranti.

Capricorn is the sign of Saturn, the son of the Sun, with whom the Sun has difficult relations. The Sun's entry into Capricorn is Makar Sankranti, one of the most auspicious days of the Hindu calendar. It also ends Kharmas, so marriages and other auspicious work can start again.

Capricorn is an earth sign ruled by Saturn. It covers the Nakshatras Uttara Ashadha (pada 2, 3, 4), Shravana, Dhanishta (pada 1, 2). With Sun here, matters of authority, government, leadership, health and the father take on the colour of Capricorn, such as government structure, industry, labour and discipline.
