Mercury square Saturn and the Principia of 1687

The Principia, first published in 1687, formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation and established classical mechanics.

Newton used that description of gravity to account for tides, the paths of comets and the precession of the equinoxes.

A Capricorn Sun adds, by the book, the ambition to finish a whole system, and the record shows one.

Astrologers read Mercury in Sagittarius square Saturn in Pisces as a mind that works in slow, exact steps, a placement for proofs rather than quick talk.
