Capricorn: The Sea-Goat
The Ambitious Earth Sign Ruled by Saturn
The Goddess & The Symbol
Capricorn is often associated with the figure of the Sea-Goat, a mythical creature with the head and upper body of a goat and the tail of a fish. This symbolizes Capricorn's unique ability to navigate both the material mountains of ambition and the deep waters of emotion and intuition.
While not tied to a single goddess, Capricorn's energy resonates with deities of time, harvest, and structure, such as the Roman god Saturn (Chronos in Greek myth), representing discipline, karma, and mastery through perseverance.
