Capricorn Zodiac Sign
The Ambitious Earth Sign of the Zodiac
Symbolized by the Mythical Sea-Goat
The astrological sign of Capricorn is uniquely represented by the Sea-Goat, a mystical creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish.
This hybrid symbol originates from ancient Babylonian mythology, often associated with the god Enki, and later with the Greek god Pan. It embodies Capricorn's dual nature: the goat's ambitious climb to the highest peaks, combined with the fish's deep intuition and connection to the emotional realm.
The Sea-Goat represents the Capricornian journey — mastering the material world while navigating the hidden depths of the soul.
