Sun in CapricornSurya • Vedic Astrology Placement Analysis
Sun in Capricorn is an enemy placement in Vedic astrology. Sun (Surya), the naturally malefic planet of soul, ego, father, is placed in Capricorn — a Earth cardinal sign ruled by Saturn. This combination blends Sun's core energy of soul and ego with Capricorn's practical and grounded nature. Placed in an enemy sign, Sun must work harder to express its core qualities. The cardinal quality of Capricorn makes this native initiating and action-oriented, coloring all of Sun's expressions with earth-element characteristics.
