Capricorn
The mountain goat climbs steadily upward. Capricorn is driven by ambition, discipline, and a deep sense of responsibility. They build lasting legacies through persistence.
As a Earth sign ruled by Saturn, Capricorn brings initiative and leadership to everything they pursue. Their cardinal quality makes them the starters of the zodiac — initiating, pioneering, going first.
