The wound
A person with Chiron in Capricorn carries a wound in father and authority domain. Father's (or paternal authority's) absence, harshness, or weakness is a theme. In childhood received pressure "you can't be the unsuccessful one" or the opposite message "whatever you do is still little." In adulthood, career decisions are hard; relationship with authority figures tense; "imposter" feeling when becoming authority oneself. Physically, knees, bones, joints are sites of wound somatization. Healing: confronting paternal authority; slowly building own authority muscle; questioning the belief "I'm not capable"; finding a mentor.
The gift
When tended, becomes a mentor to those who say "I can't become an authority" — father figure, career coach.
Practice
Open the paternal wound in therapy. Work with a mentor. Expand authority in small steps.
