Mythology & Symbolism

The symbol of the Sea-Goat represents Capricorn's ability to navigate both the material world (the mountain) and the emotional depths (the sea). In mythology, this figure is often associated with the god Pan, who transformed into a sea-goat to escape a monster, symbolizing resourcefulness and survival.
