Lucky Gemstone
The traditional stone for Capricorn is that of its lord Saturn: Blue Sapphire (Neelam). For Moon-sign based remedies it is generally safe, but confirm with your Lagna before wearing it.
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.
