Capricorn Signs

The symbol of the Capricorn Zodiac Sign is a sea-goat, a mythical creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish. This unique combination perfectly encapsulates the Capricorn personality. 

Capricorn, an earth sign ruled by the disciplined Saturn, is a creature of ambition and practicality. Like the sea-goat, they are adept at navigating both the material world (the goat) and the depths of their emotions (the fish). Their determined nature, much like the goat climbing a mountain, drives them towards their goals with unwavering persistence. However, beneath this strong exterior lies a sensitive and thoughtful soul, similar to the fish navigating the unseen currents of life. This blend of strength and vulnerability makes Capricorns complex and fascinating individuals, capable of great achievements while maintaining a deep connection to their inner world.
