The Myth of the Sea-Goat
In mythology, the Capricorn symbol is often linked to the god Pan, who transformed into a sea-goat to escape the monster Typhon. This creature, with the head of a goat and the tail of a fish, represents the ability to navigate both the material mountains and the emotional depths—symbolizing ambition and wisdom.
Capricorn climbs the highest peaks with patience, building enduring legacies one careful step at a time.
