The Myth of the Sea-Goat
The symbol of Capricorn is a mythical creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish. This represents the ability to navigate both the material world (the mountain) and the emotional depths (the sea). It signifies ambition that is both grounded and intuitive, capable of reaching the highest peaks while understanding profound emotional currents.
