Born on January 1.
The solar coordinate
On January 1 the Sun stands at 10°33′–11°19′ Capricorn. The span, measured at noon UTC across 2024–2027, is why the atlas quotes a range and not a single degree: the calendar drifts against the sky through the leap-year cycle, and your birth year and hour decide where in this band your own Sun sits.
Decan and bound
The degree falls in the 2nd decan of Capricorn, whose Chaldean ruler is Mars, and inside the Egyptian bound of Jupiter. In traditional practice these sub-rulers shade how the Capricorn Sun expresses itself — a Mars-toned Capricorn rather than a generic one.
Transits to this degree in 2026
No slow planet holds a tight aspect to this solar degree on the 2026 birthday — a quieter solar return year by the outer planets’ measure.
Retrograde on this date in 2026: Jupiter, Uranus.
