The sea-goat is a creature that is a hybrid of goat (from the chest up) and fish (from the torso down to its tail). According to Greek mythology, sea-goats were favored by the gods and carried an honorable status amongst the mortals and immortal deities. There are two tales about the mythology of Capricorn, the first being the story of Pan. According to some, Capricorn is Pan — a god with a goat’s body — who turned himself into a sea goat when attacked by Typhon to escape danger. Another, more common version of the story is rather sad. Pricus was a sea-goat and was father to many children. When his children ran on land, they lost their tales and were unable to swim. They resigned to becoming normal goats and also lost their ability to think and speak in any human language. In a desperate effort to reunite with his children, Pricus decided to try to turn back the hands of time. But no matter how many times he goes back to save them, he fails. Their fates are always sealed in the same manner. Pricus is then lost in solitude. He even begged another god to kill him to escape his misery. Because Pricus is a god himself, he cannot die. He turns away from the past and the mountain he lived on to live in the sky away from his memories of his lost children.

Characteristics of Capricorn

Ambitious, persistent, practical and sensitive are all characteristics of Capricorn. Known for their hard working habits, they are overachievers who make it look effortless. They are powerful enough to run a company and a household at the same time. Capricorns are notorious leaders who demand the best — in return, they give others the world.

Capricorn Season 2020–2021

It’s been an intense year, to say the least. As we enter Capricorn Season, we’ll be pushed to reflect upon the events that shaped the last 12 months of our lives, and to move forward on our path. December 21st brings the Sun’s movement into the constellation of Capricorn and the seasonal shift into winter. The same day the Great Conjunction will occur in Aquarius. The last time this planetary alignment occurred in the sign of Aquarius was January 7th, 1405. And, the last Great Conjunction was 20 years ago in 2000. This will be a time of change and progress. However, it will be met with ambivalence and fear about moving into the future. December 29th brings an emotional release for us all with the Cancer Full Moon. As we enter the New Year, we’ll have one more intense connection with the Capricorn stellium that involved Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto that rocked 2020, during the New Moon on January 13th, 2021. We’ll be reminded about how far we’ve come, but also what needs to be improved. Change is in the air, as long as we’re ready to move towards it.
