The Capricorn Archetype
Capricorns are the architects of the zodiac. They possess an innate understanding of time and structure, building their lives and achievements with meticulous care. Their ambition is not flashy but deep-rooted, driving them to master their craft and attain positions of respect. While they may appear serious or reserved, their dry wit and loyalty make them cherished companions. They value tradition and wisdom, often learning much from experience and elders.
Their symbol, the Sea-Goat, signifies the ability to navigate both the emotional depths (the sea) and the highest material peaks (the mountain), mastering both realms through perseverance.
