Capricorn is the sign of structure. It rules the status quo in our lives. We look to Capricorn for order and the establishment: banking, royal families and world affairs. Ruled by Saturn, it has a tendency to think it can rule all structure, so ruling the skeleton seems a natural order of events.

After all the skeleton is what holds us up and, in many ways, so does Capricorn.

It rules our teeth, our bones, our joints, our skin - everything that keeps us together. When Capricorn is not itself, these are the areas that will be affected.

Prone more than most to rheumatism and aching joints in later life, they need to consider fish oil supplements early on to ease this condition as they get older.
