Capricorn governs the knees, bones and joints. Traditional advice is to care for these areas and follow the routine of Saturn, the sign lord.
Traits that shape this
Being disciplined and ambitious helps; being reserved can hold things back.
Moon sign vs Lagna
Rashi predictions use the Moon sign. The Lagna (ascendant) is equally important and needs the exact birth time. A full reading uses both.
