Capricorn Second Decan
The Capricorn second decan (Jan 1–10) blends Capricorn with a Venus sub-ruler — grounded, loyal, quietly warm earth that builds with love.
The second decan of Capricorn spans roughly January 1 to January 10, the middle 10° of the sign. Its sub-ruler is Venus through Taurus, which softens Capricorn's austerity with warmth, loyalty, and an appreciation for the good things ambition can buy. The climber gains a love of comfort, security, and steadfast relationships.
Venus's influence makes this decan more sociable and affectionate than the Capricorn norm. These Capricorns still build relentlessly, but they build toward a comfortable, beautiful, secure life — and they're devoted partners once committed. Practical and sensual, they pair Saturn's discipline with Taurus's patient enjoyment of results.
Born in Capricorn's middle stretch, you carry the strategist and the provider together — Saturn's drive softened by Venus, earth that climbs hard and treasures what it earns.
