The Myth of the Sea-Goat
The Capricorn symbol, a creature with the head of a goat and the tail of a fish, originates from ancient Babylonian mythology. It is often associated with the god Enki and later with the Greek god Pan, who transformed into a sea-goat to escape the monster Typhon. This duality represents Capricorn's ability to navigate both the material (earth) and emotional (sea) worlds, climbing to great heights while understanding deep emotional currents.
