A Capricorn Sun facing its Moon across the sky
A Capricorn Sun at 28°44′ stands for patience and long climbs. The Moon at 24°10′ of Cancer asks for shelter, memory and close ties, and the two lights are 4°35′ from an exact opposition.
Aquarius rising, 18°58′ Aquarius, gives an observer's first impression: cool, original, a little apart. In the older scheme Saturn rules both Capricorn and Aquarius, so Sun and ascendant answer to one planet.
