Let's explore the basics of your horoscope and discover the traits and characteristics associated with Capricorn.
Capricorn Overview
Capricorn, known as मकर (makara) in Sanskrit, or "crocodile," is a unique and powerful sign. Each zodiac sign has specific traits that define it and make it distinct. Here's a breakdown of the general characteristics of Capricorn:
- Sign of the Makara: Capricorn natives are known for their peculiarity and strength. They possess great intelligence, but they also have a tendency to be harsh and uncompromising.
- Ruled by Saturn: Saturn, the planet of karma, poverty, disease, austerity, and mysticism, governs Capricorn. Saturnine individuals are often mysterious and serious.
- An Earth Sign: Capricorn is an earth sign, which means that those with a Capricorn moon are grounded, thoughtful, and practical.
- A Movable Sign: People born under Capricorn are dynamic, adaptable, and eager for change.
- A Feminine Sign: Capricorn is a feminine sign, and as a result, those with this sign tend to be receptive, sensitive, and empathetic.

Traits of the Sun in Capricorn
In Western Astrology, your Sun sign plays a significant role in determining your personality traits. If you were born on December 28th, you possess the following characteristics commonly associated with Capricorn:
- Natural Businessperson: You are naturally drawn to business, trade, and money-making. Independent and competitive business environments suit you well. However, be cautious not to succumb to unethical practices. Donating a portion of your earnings to a good cause can help reduce any tendencies toward greed.
- Love for Travel: You have a love for travel and enjoy exploring new places. It's likely that you have friends from different parts of the world. A career or profession that requires regular travel could be a good fit for you.
- Strong Digestion: You have a good appetite and a strong metabolism, which contributes to your overall good health. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of a strong digestive fire for overall well-being.
- Struggle to Reach Full Potential: While you have many ambitions and ideas, you may find it challenging to stay motivated and follow through on them. Consider finding a mentor who can help you channel your energy and guide you towards realizing your full potential.
- Diverse Career Options: Due to your diverse interests, you are likely to pursue various careers throughout your life. However, be careful not to abandon good opportunities solely out of boredom. It's possible to explore side jobs or hobbies without sacrificing financial stability.
