The Sun in Leo is in domicile, the planet's own home, and the tradition lists no other planet's rulership here. Leo is a masculine, fixed fire sign; the Sun is a masculine, day-team planet, so sect, gender and sign agree.
Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, a fixed fire sign with positive polarity, and the only sign the Sun governs in traditional astrology.

The Moon in Leo is in the Sun's home sign, a masculine, fixed fire sign. The tradition lists no domicile, exaltation, detriment or fall for the Moon there.
Leo is a fixed fire sign with positive polarity, the sign the Sun governs, and a Moon there sits in the Sun's home. Modern psychological astrology reads the emotional need here as warmth returned: to be noticed, appreciated and welcomed.

Capricorn is the Ascendant when Capricorn was crossing the eastern horizon at birth, which changes about every two hours and therefore depends on birth time. In whole-sign houses, where each sign is one house, Capricorn is the first house. Saturn, the planet that rules it, is lord of the Ascendant. Saturn also rules Aquarius, which falls in the second house, and is exalted in Libra, the tenth. Capricorn is a feminine, cardinal earth sign. It is the Moon's detriment, a concept the tradition names explicitly only late, so the Moon starts from a weaker footing here. Saturn is a malefic, a planet the tradition treats as difficult in nature. It is also a day-team planet under sect, the tradition's sorting of planets into day and night teams. Hellenistic astrologers check its condition, which ranges from supportive to harsh, before drawing conclusions.
A note on “detriment”: the early Hellenistic texts note a planet opposite its own sign without naming it. The term is defined only in late and medieval sources, and scholars disagree on whether the idea was implicit earlier.

Reviewer's notes
Dignities, houses counts, genders and modalities matched the project's own dignity tables and Ptolemy/Valens. Added a note that detriment is a late-named concept. Lord-of-the-Ascendant importance confirmed only in secondary sources (Astrology Podcast); softened 'first/main' to 'among the first/key'.

Capricorn on the Ascendant records Capricorn rising in the east at birth. The Ascendant, or rising sign, changes about every two hours, so a birth time is needed. Modern psychological astrology reads it as the way a person enters situations. For Capricorn, a cardinal earth sign, authors describe a reserved, deliberate and capable approach, with a first impression of seriousness and self-possession. The tension named is guardedness: warmth shown later than competence. Hellenistic astrologers read the Ascendant by its lord, Saturn for Capricorn, and by Saturn's rank by sign and sect (day or night chart). Here the traditions overlap on the planet but not the purpose, since the Hellenistic judgment concerns the chart's structure, more than a first impression.

Reviewer's notes
Element, modality, ruler and Ascendant-concept claims confirmed in secondary references; the per-sign manner descriptions attributed to modern authors are tradition-level and not checked against Arroyo or Sasportas text. Softened "not a first impression" to "more than".
