Your Capricorn Ascendant

The shrewdness and open ambition associated with the sun or moon in Capricorn does not always show up so overtly in the personality of those with Capricorn Ascendant but these traits are present nevertheless. You are probably a very capable manager and supervisor, willing to accept responsibilities and positions of authority.

You strongly identify with the material world and tangible assets.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, planet of structure, restriction and longevity. It is often an indication of a difficult birth or restricted childhood. However, it doesn't matter what particular difficulties life presents to you, because your biggest challenge is always yourself. You are apt to be disappointed with some aspect of your personality or appearance and you may develop conflicting behavior to deal with these feelings when they surface. Some Capricorn Ascendants practice strict self denial, while others abandon themselves to hedonistic pleasures as a form of self destruction. You may even exhibit both types of behavior. At every turn you confront fears and insecurity. How well you deal with the conflict marks your success as a well-adjusted adult. Capricorn ruling the first house raises the competitive spirit and by no means dictates the presence of a somber or colorless personality. On the contrary, it implies that you are an individual who is apt to possess overcompensating cheerful personalities, and that you willingly accept responsibilities and hardships which you are apt to feel you were born to endure. There is always a choice to be made, and the right one is never easy because it usually involves success which must be earned.

Capricorn Ascendant is usually indicative of abstemious eating habits which help you to avoid gaining too much weight. Sensitive skin, finely textured hair, brittle bones, and dental difficulties are apt to be your common physical complaints
