Cold and dry, the Capricorn landscape is all about form and function. It’s the dense network of cells bound tightly to form a spine or a tree trunk. A framework for growth and stability.
In medical astrology, Capricorn is associated with knees. Knees are forms that allowus to stand, walk, climb and kneel. Knees are also the most commonly replaced joint, wearing out with age, limited by Saturn and reminding us of mortality.

In the horary astrology tradition per William Lilly, Capricorn locations are “Low, dark places, near thresholds and boundaries. Cow sheds, wood stores, barren fields.”

Cardinal earth supports and separates. It contains and shapes. Capricorn is necessary.
