Capricorn 2nd Decan

The Mars decan sharpens whatever's already there — more edge, more urgency, less patience for standing still. It's the most assertive third of the sign, quicker to act and quicker to push back.

Capricorn is cardinal earth — ambitious in a quiet, long-game way that doesn't need an audience to keep working. This is the sign most associated with real discipline: Capricorn sets a distant goal and then does the unglamorous work every single day until it's actually reached.

• ✦ More combative under pressure
• ✦ Faster to act than the rest of the sign
• ✦ Low tolerance for being told to wait
