All About Capricorn Rising in Esoteric Astrology

After the adventure and exploration of Sagittarius Rising, we come to the complex and intriguing sign of Capricorn.

In Traditional Astrology, Capricorn is associated with work, focus, and diligence, and it is much the same in Esoteric Astrology. But in Soul Astrology, this strong work ethic is taken to a much deeper level.

It is believed in Esoteric Astrology that the goal of the soul is identified in Sagittarius Rising. Then the soul continues its journey by “walking the talk” in Capricorn Rising.

What does this mean?

It means that Capricorn Rising’s goal is to bring the utopian realizations discovered by Sagittarius into reality.

Capricorn Rising as the Disciple

During Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, and this falls in Capricorn season. For this reason alone, we can see why Capricorn Rising has such a profound spiritual purpose in this world.

The primary role of the disciples of Jesus was to follow his teaching and ultimately spread the word to others. Capricorn Rising’s role is not dissimilar because they too follow the teachings of their soul and then spread the word to others through their action and influence.

The point of discipleship is to manifest a spiritual goal into a physical reality. This is why in Esoteric Astrology, Capricorn Rising is known as the “disciple,” and it is why Saturn-ruled Capricorn, with its hard work, dedication, and persistence, is the best sign to achieve this.

Why Capricorn Rising is Such an Interesting Sign

Of all the signs in Esoteric Astrology, Capricorn Rising is the most mysterious of all. This is why it is the sign which is hardest to analyze and understand for many astrologers.

A Capricorn soul is learning to use its resources in the physical world wisely. Capricorn is believed to rule banking, politics, and governments. We can see what a sad state of affairs all these aspects are due to the greed, inequality, and selfishness that dominates them. It is believed that this is a manifestation of Capricorn’s negative qualities.

The goal is to transcend these negative qualities into positive ones so that these physical resources are based on compassion, love, and empathy.

Greed and compassion come from the same energy; it is just that they are at opposite ends of the spectrum. For example, money is a mere tool where this energy manifests either in its higher state (compassion) or its lower state (greed).

Through Capricorn Rising, we learn how to transcend this energy from its lower state into its higher, and thus “money” becomes a tool used for the higher good.

The Second Ruling Planet of Capricorn

In Esoteric Astrology, Capricorn Rising’s ruling planet is Saturn, the same planet that rules it in Traditional Astrology.

Saturn’s influence is a powerful one. Life is often challenging and difficult with Saturn’s influence, but it is necessary to find the highest good. In the words of Buddha: “Suffering is the path to enlightenment.”

The energy of Capricorn is filtering through three rays in the 7 Divine Rays of Manifestation: The Ray of Divine Will & Power, the Ray of Abstract Intelligence & Activity, and the Ray of Ceremonial Order & Magic.

These rays highlight how Capricorn manifests its soul purpose and energy in the physical world.
