Key Personality Traits
Capricorns are the master builders of the zodiac. They possess a mature outlook on life, valuing hard work, tradition, and long-term success. Their ambition is not flashy but steady, like a mountain being formed over eons.
They are incredibly reliable and take their commitments seriously. While they may appear reserved or serious, they have a dry wit and a deep sense of loyalty to those they trust. Their ultimate goal is to build a legacy of security and respect.
Symbolism & Myth
The symbol of the Sea-Goat is unique, combining the tail of a fish and the body of a goat. This represents Capricorn's ability to navigate both emotional depths (the sea) and material heights (the mountain). It signifies the journey toward achieving worldly mastery through endurance and wisdom.
