Why Capricorn behaves this way
Capricorn is a earth sign of cardinal tempo, ruled by Saturn. The element sets the medium — how the placement expresses — and the modality sets the tempo: whether it initiates, holds, or adapts. Applied to Saturn, that is what produces the reading above.

Saturn moves roughly two arcminutes a day, so a birth time shifts the return dates by hours at most. Without one we assume noon, which is comfortably accurate here — unlike the Moon or the Ascendant, this is a placement you can find without knowing the hour.
