Nadir in Capricorn
Nadir in Capricorn means Capricorn was at the lowest point of the chart, under the Earth, at the minute and place you were born. It is opposite the Midheaven and changes about every two hours, so it takes an exact birth time.
Capricorn is a cardinal earth sign. The nadir, or IC, is the point opposite the Midheaven: the part of the zodiac that was under the Earth, beneath your feet. It speaks of roots, home and what holds you up unseen.
Your roots
Roots in duty
Your foundation may be responsibility. Perhaps home was serious, or you had to grow up fast, and you learned that love shows itself in what one does. In private you probably need structure and solitude, and you tend to be your own strictest company. Perhaps what holds you up, unseen, is a deep capacity to endure, built long before anyone noticed.
