The Myth of the Sea-Goat
The symbol of Capricorn is often depicted as a creature with the head of a goat and the tail of a fish. This represents the ability to navigate both the material mountains of ambition and the deep, intuitive waters of emotion. In mythology, it is associated with the ancient god Pan, who transformed into a sea-goat to escape a monster, symbolizing resourcefulness and resilience.
