How it shows up in life
At its best, this placement comes through as discipline and restraint. Under stress, it can slip toward rigidity and emotional distance.
Do not confuse the sign with the planet
Mercury shows the function, while Capricorn shows the style of that function. Read them together: first what the planet does, then how the sign expresses it.
That keeps the placement page distinct from the sign page and prevents one label from replacing the full chart.
