This dual emphasis in Ray Romano's horoscope also allows him have some extraordinary Sagittarian fun within his traditional Capricorn roles as a family man. The material for his stand-up comic act came straight out of his personal experience with his loved ones. It's so popular because the subjects are ones we can all easily relate to.

Mercury governs the mind and intellect.
In earnest Capricorn it wants to know exactly what the rules are, so they can be followed. Retrograde motion turns the mind inward, causing ceaseless ruminations over whether or not the right thing has been done. Dad is outspoken to the point of bluntness, like any good Sag. He's short on tact and long on practical jokes. Onscreen and off, Ray's wife is represented by his Venus, the planet of love, in Aquarius, the sign of friendship.
