What does Capricorn rule?

A planet that rules a given sign is said to most closely represent the given traits of that sign and has the strongest influence when working through that sign.

Capricorn is governed by the planet Saturn. Saturn is the planet associated with discipline, limitations, determination, common-sense, practicality and responsibility. Saturn also rules status and authority, but those that come from many years of hard work or seniority. Saturn is also a stubborn planet that can be stuck in its ways and not interested in changing the status quo. This planet is very traditional.
