Have you ever wondered what your zodiac sign reveals about you? If you were born on December 28th, your sign is Capricorn, also known as the sign of the makara or sea monster, according to Western astrology. Let's delve into the basics of your horoscope below.

Capricorn Overview

Capricorn, known as "मकर" (makara) in Sanskrit or "crocodile," is a sign with unique characteristics. Let's explore the general makeup of the Capricorn sign:

• Sign of the Makara: Capricorn natives are peculiar and powerful individuals. They possess great intelligence, but at times, they can have a mean streak.
• Ruled by Saturn: Saturn, the planet of karma, poverty, disease, austerity, and mysticism, holds sway over Capricorns. This influence makes them somber and mysterious.
• An Earth Sign: Capricorn moon individuals are grounded, thoughtful, and practical.
• A Movable Sign: Those born under this sign are fluid, spontaneous, and embrace change.
• A Feminine Sign: Capricorn natives are receptive, sensitive, and empathetic.
• Capricorn's Preferred Gemstone: Blue sapphire is the gemstone associated with Capricorn. Additionally, blue spinel and amethyst can bring benefits to Capricorns.

Traits of the Sun in Capricorn

In Western astrology, a person's sign is determined by the position of the Sun in their birth chart. If you were born on December 28th, you are considered a Capricorn by most people in the Western world. While various factors influence the Sun's influence in a birth chart, let's explore some general traits common to individuals with their Sun in Capricorn:

• You are a natural businessperson: Capricorns are drawn to business, trade, and earning money. They excel in independent and competitive business environments. However, be mindful of ethical practices and consider giving back to charitable causes to reduce tendencies towards greed.
• You like to be on the move: Capricorns have a love for travel and are often found walking and exploring new places. They tend to have friends from foreign lands and thrive in professions requiring regular travel.
• You have strong digestion: Capricorns have a good metabolism and enjoy eating. This aids them in maintaining good physical health. According to Ayurveda, a robust digestive fire promotes overall well-being.
• You may struggle to live up to your full potential: Capricorns have many ambitions and ideas, but they often lack the motivation and willpower to see them through. Finding a mentor can help channel your energies and increase the likelihood of realizing your full potential.
• You are likely to have a variety of professions in life: Capricorns have diverse interests and may pursue different careers throughout their lives. While it's good to explore opportunities, avoid abandoning promising paths out of boredom. Consider taking up side jobs or hobbies without sacrificing financial stability.

Capricorn Careers

Capricorns are known for their hard work and can thrive in a wide range of professions. Some recommended careers for Capricorns include lawyers, writers, scientists, philosophers, professors, detectives, financial advisors, administrators, and industrialists. However, careers that require negotiation or compromise, such as sales, diplomacy, or sports management, may not be the best fit for Capricorns.

Capricorn Mantras

Mantras are short phrases that uplift and cleanse the mind, heart, and consciousness. They offer relief from suffering and negativity. Capricorns can benefit from meditating with specific mantras, such as:

• ॐ वामनाय नमः (Om kurma-devaya namaha)
• हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे (Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare Hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare)

These mantras can help individuals born under any zodiac sign find relief and promote positivity in their lives.
