CARDINAL MODE[]
Capricorn is the last of the four Cardinal Signs (Aries Cancer Libra Capricorn) of the zodiac, who all hold an elemental energy of initiation and leadership at the beginning of the four seasons. Capricorn season is the beginning of Winter, where the light and energy are at a premium. This definitive seasonal quality is the root of Capricorn’s strong cardinal authority and nature as an archetype.
Myths[]
- The Sea-Goat: Capricorn is traditionally represented by the Sea-Goat, a creature with the upper body of a goat and the tail of a fish.
In Greek mythology, it is often linked to Pan, the goat-god of nature, who leapt into the Nile to escape the monster Typhon—half transforming into a fish to survive. This dual nature represents Capricorn’s balance between the material and the spiritual, or the ability to climb to great heights while staying connected to emotional depth.
