Nakshatras in Capricorn
Sidereal Capricorn contains parts of three nakshatras: Uttara Ashadha, Shravana and Dhanishta. A planet placed in Capricorn always also occupies one of these lunar mansions, and the nakshatra usually says more about how the placement behaves than the sign alone.
Note: this is the sidereal zodiac used in Vedic astrology, which currently sits about 24° behind the Western tropical zodiac — your Western Capricorn planets may fall in a different sidereal sign.
