Capricorn: The Sea-Goat
In the celestial zodiac, positioned immediately to the right (or west) of the adventurous Sagittarius lies the determined and pragmatic sign of Capricorn. Represented by the mythical Sea-Goat, this Earth sign marks the tenth house of the zodiac, governing ambition, structure, and long-term goals.
While Sagittarius seeks the horizon, Capricorn builds the mountain to reach it. This constellation reminds us of the power of patience, discipline, and mastery over the material world.

A Glimpse into Mythology
The constellation Capricornus is often linked to the ancient Babylonian god Ea (or Enki), who was depicted as a goat-fish hybrid, symbolizing wisdom and the waters of creation. In Greek myth, it is associated with Pan, the god of the wild, who transformed into a sea-goat to escape the monster Typhon. This duality represents the ability to navigate both the material and emotional realms.
