Capricorn is the tenth sign, symbolised by a sea-creature with a deer's forequarters. It carries ambition, structure, and endurance — practical, reserved, and built for the long climb.
Parashara describes Makara as a movable earthy sign, female, vaishya in the classical listing, rising with its hinder part, variegated, dwelling in rivers and forests. Its lord is Shani; Mangala is exalted here at the 28th degree and Guru debilitated at the 5th.
— Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 4 (Rāśi Svarūpa)
A chara prithvi-tattva sign ruled by Saturn, hosting Mars's exaltation (deepest 28°) and Jupiter's debilitation (deepest 5°) — executive force honoured, expansive counsel humbled. For Makara lagna Venus is the yogakaraka (5th and 10th lord) and Saturn as lagna lord sheds much of his natural-malefic burden; Jupiter's fall here is the most commonly cancelled debilitation in practice, Saturn's own condition supplying the neecha bhanga.
