The Myth of the Sea-Goat
Capricorn is symbolized by a mythical creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish. This imagery is often linked to the ancient Babylonian god Ea, or the Greek god Pan, who transformed into a sea-goat to escape the monster Typhon. It represents the ability to navigate both the material world (the mountain) and the emotional depths (the sea).
