Capricorn: Responsibility calls for choosing which efforts serve a real goal. "The Chariot" sets the scene; "The Magician" raises the challenge. Its Earth element, Saturn rulership and traditional link to "The Devil" provide symbolic context for the sign, not a claim about today's planetary transits.
