Key Capricorn Traits
Mythology & Symbolism
The Sea-Goat is one of the oldest mythological creatures, often associated with the ancient Babylonian god Ea (Enki), who was the god of wisdom and waters, depicted with the lower body of a fish.

This dual nature makes Capricorn a sign of profound mastery over both the material and emotional realms.
