Being a shy and introverted person is not a really bad thing to be, especially if the main reason for your shyness is not lack of self-esteem but rather a choice to be self-conscious, self-sustaining and self-sufficient.

Being very serious and practical can also be the case, and most of the time these type of individuals do not need to socialize in order to feel needed.  A goat is definitely one of those creatures that might seem to be loners at heart, but they are indeed loners for a reason.  They do not need any help to be able to be useful, and they are generally viewed as being hard and stern most of the time.  The horoscope zodiac sign of Capricorn is well known for being very hardworking and stern individuals who are masters of intrapersonal relationships with themselves and do not require much interaction with other individuals, not because they abhor physical and social interaction, but because they realize that they need to work alone by themselves in order to get more work done.

CAPRICORN – The Sea-Goat

Capricorn, out of all the signs of zodiac, is mainly thought of as a serious sign.  The horoscopes for Capricorn make it sound like the sign is extremely introverted and stern, as well as independent and unemotional.  Because the horoscope zodiac sign of the sea-goat pegs it as being serious and introverted, it is mostly misunderstood as lacking severe emotions and warmth, but that is far from the truth.  Capricorns are just very responsible and goal oriented individuals who want nothing more than to succeed in the goals that they have set for themselves.  They are masters of developing intrapersonal relationships with themselves, and the only reason why they are emotionless is because they continue to set their sights on the goals that they desire to reach.

Actually, the name itself is derived from the word “capricious”, meaning that they have severe mood swings, which is probably why they prefer to work alone or by themselves at first.  You will not be able to sway Capricorns to your opinions or will once they put their minds on something, and if you do try prepare to be bombarded by their severe mood swings.  They might be whimsical and impulsive in nature, but their severe goal-setting and organization skills will definitely help them to reach the top, no matter how slow their progression is.

CAPRICORN – The qualities of the goat sign

They are hard working.  Just like the goat, Capricorns tend to be extremely hard-working individuals.  They are very good workers to hire and they are extremely committed to a goal once they set their minds to it.  They are also very good followers, and they tend to do things slowly but surely.  All of their success will surely be well-deserved because of all of their hard-work.  They can also reach a very high rank when it comes to their career or jobs because of their serious commitment, and while they tend to be really good followers when they are mere employees, they tend to be extremely hard-headed and practical when they sit at the top of the food chain.

They are practical.  Out of all the zodiac signs, Capricorns tend to be the most practical of the bunch.  Not only are they level headed and introverts, but they are also extreme haters of over-extravagance and wasted resources.  Because they frequently to work by themselves, they tend to notice more things that need to be streamlined.  It doesn’t help their case that they are also very conscious about the spending of their resources, that’s why they tend to be very good financial planners and advisers.

They are capricious.  Capricorn actually comes from the term “capricious”, meaning that their moods tend to swing, a LOT.  Because they are loners and are extremely silent most of the time, it will be very hard for any individual to read what they are thinking or feeling at the moment.  Most of the time, other people trying to read what Capricorns are feeling tend to reach the conclusion that they are generally “emotionless” and hard individuals, which is mostly far from the truth.

They are goal-oriented.  Because of their hard-working and practical nature, Capricorns tend to be very goal oriented.  Their practicality and hard-working nature allows them to reach most of their goals because of this.  They tend to be very interested in a lot of things, and they also want to work hard on the goals that they set for themselves.  Every goal that they try to reach consumes them in their entirety and that is one of the main reasons why they tend to work alone and are mistaken for very boring individuals.

They are loners.  Goats tend to graze by themselves, and they tend to shy away from any kind of interaction because they are mostly mountain dwellers devoid from any kind of interaction aside from their fellow species.  The perfect combination of being introverts and hard-workers make them the best individuals to reach their set goals.  They are also practical and shy away from any kind of extra-curricular expense which explains why they want to be by themselves a lot.  They also seem pretty boring, but most of the time their internal struggles and intrapersonal nature just makes it look like so.

CAPRICORN – Element

The horoscope zodiac sign of Capricorn is known to be dominated by the element Earth, which generally explains their introvert nature.  They are generally known to be compatible with the other Earth signs of zodiac, but unlike the other signs, they tend to be more secretive especially when it comes to their feelings, which gives others the impression that they are extremely emotionless.

CAPRICORN – Governed by Saturn

Capricorn is known to be governed by the planet Saturn, which is generally opposed to the symbol of Jupiter.  Rigidity and being cold usually defines what getting ruled by the planet Saturn means, and generally being hard and stiff is what a Capricorn is all about.

General Qualities of a Capricorn man and Woman

It might come as a complete surprise to most of us, but there are very minor differences when it comes to the behaviors that a Capricorn man and woman have.  Generally speaking, both of them share the same qualities which are hard-working and practical as well as being goal oriented, but there are some unique twists.

A CAPRICORN MAN can be a bit harsh and ambitious.  The reason why he might be harsh is that they tend to be extremely goal-oriented, and they really give little though to what other people think about them as long as they reach their goals.  He can be really stiff and serious, but that doesn’t mean that he does not care about his personal and family life.  The only reason why a Capricorn man is considered rude is because they tend to cover their sensitivity and emotions with rudeness, completely shielding their emotions so that they can be left alone to their thoughts.  They tend to be very reliable, and because of this it tends to take time before they trust someone to be reliable to them.  They might have some trust issues on the surface, but this is only a means for them to be assured of the person they are going to work with so that a harmonious balance can be met.

A CAPRICORN WOMAN can be the most arrogant and career-driven women out of all the astrological signs of the zodiac.  Men who do not have goals and dreams rarely interest them, and they tend to live their life with a purpose, which generally scares the heck out of most men.  They also carry themselves with this unmistakable charm and nobleness, similar to when a goat can carry this silent charm even though they tend to be alone.

THE CAPRICORN COMPATIBILITY CHART

Based on the Synastry side of the astrological signs of the zodiac, the highest compatible signs for the Capricorn are its fellow earth signs which are Taurus and Virgo.  Being of the earth element, they also tend to work well with the water elements of Scorpio and Pisces.  The other signs of zodiac which are dominated by fire and air tend to disagree with Capricorns.  Also, it considers its own sign variably compatible to itself, which tend to be a rare case in most compatibility charts as they can either be compatible or incompatible.

CAPRICORN AGAINST CAPRICORN

CAPRICORN compatibility with Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

COMPATIBILITY – Variable

The primary good thing about a Capricorn and Capricorn relationship is that they tend to respect the whims, interests and ambitions of each other, and at the same time they value each other’s need for personal and emotional space.  They are very good when it comes to money matters, and they have no trouble communicating their dreams to someone who does not need any additional information.  Because of their need for emotional space, they try to stay away from each other as often as possible until the time comes for them to personally interact with each other.  They both have practical traits; which means that their resources will never run dry because of extravagance and over-spending.  They can be a very good match especially if they can find a way to get rid of their mood swings.

The main issue with this relationship is that the relationship can become really serious, and has can be very boring because of that.  They also tend to work more on their careers more that they work on themselves and their relationship to each other.  They are both too practical and realistic, which can become a problem because some relationships die a certain and natural death due to lack of imagination and creativeness.  Also, the lack of communication will be a definite problem in this relationship; out of all of the horoscope signs, Capricorns tend to be the most emotionally detached, and while both Capricorns might tend to stay away from each other when they are facing emotional trials, the lack of trying to communicate will definitely affect their long-term relationship.

CAPRICORN COMPATIBLE SIGNS

Capricorn is generally known to be compatible with the Earth signs of Virgo and Taurus as well as the horoscopes of Scorpio and Pisces, which are Water element signs.

CAPRICORN compatibility with Taurus (April 21 – May 20)

COMPATIBILITY – Compatible

The winning formula of these two signs of the horoscope is that they are seeing each trait as a perfect fit for their own.  Taurus tends to be family oriented, which the Capricorn is very much in agreement with.  Patience is also a virtue that will not easily run out of this relationship, because both of the signs value this trait above all else.  They also value money, and with both of their practical natures, they tend to be financially successful both as individuals and as partners.  The Taurean also needs security and stability, which the Capricorns tend to have mastered giving.

CAPRICORN compatibility with Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

COMPATIBILITY – Compatible

When it comes to career and responsibility, nothing can match the tandem of the zodiac signs Capricorn and Virgo, because they tend to be very ambitious and hard-working individuals.  The practical, methodical and systematic approach of a Virgo can definitely satisfy the goal-oriented ego of a Capricorn, and at the same time their practicality when it comes to resources will definitely play off each other.  Virgo also tends to bring creativity into the relationship, which can definitely help the realistic views of the Capricorn to be shattered and enhanced.

CAPRICORN compatibility with Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

COMPATIBILITY – Compatible

They are both strong-willed, and they both tend to need each just shown through different ways.  The possessiveness of the Scorpio is just what a Capricorn needs to feel wanted and secure, and their sense of creativeness and imagination is what will fuel a Capricorn to strive harder in their career and finances.  Both of these signs also tend to be very arrogant and ambitious, which weirdly works out for both of them as they tend to understand each other’s kinks and need for personal space when it comes to career.

CAPRICORN compatibility with Pisces (February 20 – March 20)

COMPATIBILITY – Compatible

The general sensitiveness of a Piscean will be the only issue when it comes to a relationship with Capricorn, but other than that, they seem to get along quite nicely.  The competitiveness of Capricorns when it comes to career will not be a bother to the Piscean, because they are known to be a very dependent and quiet sign.  The need for safety and security of Pisces will definitely be met by the aura of complete safety and security that a Capricorn offers.  Capricorn will also be surprised at the imagination and creativeness of the Pisces, especially since most of the time they are always right on their predictions, which tend to clash with your realistic views and opinions.

CAPRICORN INCOMPATIBLE SIGNS

The astrological signs of the zodiac which tend to prove incompatible with Capricorn are mostly dominated by the Fire signs and Air signs of Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra and Sagittarius:

CAPRICORN compatibility with Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

COMPATIBILITY – Incompatible

The horoscope assigns people born under the sign of Aquarius to be generally free-loving individuals who hate to be tied down.  They are also travel and adventure loving individuals to a huge degree, and mostly free-spenders.  These are all of the qualities that every Capricorn hates, which is rolled up in one complete package.  Capricorns also tend to settle with a very secure and safe job, but an Aquarian will go through as many jobs as possible in search of the right fit and challenge for his or her professional career, which will definitely cause a Capricorn to panic.

CAPRICORN compatibility with Aries (March 21 – April 20)

COMPATIBILITY – Incompatible

Aries is the riskiest individual of all the signs of zodiac.  The restlessness and the fiery attitude of an Arian will definitely scare a Capricorn, who longs for security and stability.  Aries is also notorious for being free-spenders and lack restraint when it comes to finances.  Their impulsiveness also turns-off the Capricorns.  They also need to dominate each other, which will go completely wrong especially when they try to apply this at the same time to each other.

CAPRICORN compatibility with Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

COMPATIBILITY – Incompatible

Gemini is known to be a very flirtatious and easy-going sign, but not necessarily unfaithful.  But these traits will definitely make the Capricorn very uncomfortable, especially since a Capricorn cannot handle any emotional extravagance and the need for excitement of the Gemini.  This relationship can work for all of the wrong reasons, because while the Capricorns slave away their time to their work and careers, their Gemini partners might see this as a sign to go out and party.

CAPRICORN compatibility with Leo (July 23 – August 22)

COMPATIBILITY –Incompatible

The zodiac signs of Leo and Capricorn can be at complete odds with each other when it comes to the way they live their life.  Capricorns tend to be practical and grounded, while Leo always try to live their life to the fullest.  Because of the emotional unresponsiveness of a Capricorn, a Leo will most of the time feel completely unloved and underappreciated.

CAPRICORN compatibility with Libra (September 23 – October 22)

COMPATIBILITY – Incompatible

Being introverts, Capricorn will never fully appreciate the need for a Libra to be everyone’s center of attention.  The carefree and lazy methods of a Libra to get what they want will also leave a bad taste in the mouth for the Capricorn, which will result in various disagreements about priorities in career and work.  Self-indulgence is also a trait of a Libran, which will definitely be frowned upon by the Capricorn, who generally goes a day without giving into their personal needs and whims.

CAPRICORN compatibility with Sagittarius (November 22 – December 1)

COMPATIBILITY – Incompatible

The Sagittarius will feel irritated with the stiffness and the lack of adventure of an individual born under Capricorn.  The need for security and the general necessity to follow the rules will be such a jarring concept to the Sagittarian that a Capricorn might respond with their own surprise for the need of adventure and rule-breaking.  This might not be the best of the zodiac signs to match up, especially since the conservative and cautious nature of a Capricorn will definitely be viewed as restrictive by a Sagittarius.

CAPRICORN VARIABLY COMPATIBLE SIGNS

The world is not made up of pure black and white; there is also a middle ground or a “gray” area in which everything can be swayed to either side.  The horoscope signs are no different; although there are systems being followed to determine “clear cut” compatibilities within the signs from highly compatible to downright incompatible, there will always be a sign or two which can be swayed either way.  Such is the flexibility of the zodiac signs.  In the case of the Sea-goat sign Capricorn, the two signs that are deemed variable or that fall in that “gray” area is Cancer.

CAPRICORN compatibility with Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

COMPATIBILITY – Variable

Because the two signs are in direct opposite to each other based on the horoscope zodiac sign chart (Cancer is born 6 months from a Capricorn), Cancer may well be considered the polar opposite of the Sea-goat sign.  Just because Cancer is the opposite doesn’t mean that they are in complete odds with one another, because both signs consider each other as “variable signs”, meaning that they can either be perfect for each other or they can be complete mismatches.  The good thing about this relationship is that they are both very good when dealing with money, although in very different ways.  When it comes to professionalism, they do reach the same goals most of the time, but while Cancerians tend to reach their goals with the help of other people or their chosen team, Capricorns tend to fulfill their dreams by their own efforts.  Because they try to work much harder to be able to achieve their goals by themselves, they tend to leave out any personal interaction with a Cancer mate, thereby leaving the Cancer wanting.  Cancer will definitely understand the need for individualism that a Capricorn requires, but there will certainly be a breaking point, especially since out of all the horoscope signs a Capricorn is the coldest and emotionless.  Too much interest may also be the problem of a Capricorn when it comes to a relationship with a Cancer, but this may be offset with the fact that Capricorn can be really loyal and faithful.  Cancer might also find the Sea-goat sign boring, especially since Capricorns tend to do stuff on their own, and because of their many interests they tend to go out by themselves a lot.  Cancer can also be extravagant and wasteful when it comes to resources, which the Capricorns tend to find offensive.

Being the tenth sign, it also corresponds to the tenth house in astrology. It is considered to contain negative energies in it like earth, introversion and femininity. Saturn is the planet that rules the sign.

If you were born when the sun was there in this sign roughly from December 22 to January 21 on its ecliptic path, you own this sign, though sidereal zodiac takes these dates to be from January 15 to February 12.

As for zodiac symbols, the constellation is shaped as the horns and tail of a goat fish or sea goat.

The personality traits associated with this sign are practicality, discipline, organization, methodical approach, ambition, focus, reliability, seriousness, independence, perseverance, persistence, dedication, rationality, responsibility, wisdom, motif, tenacity, self-criticism, traditionalism, and career orientation.

The physical traits comprise a tall body tending to bend with age, small dark eyes, dark hair, dark complexion, and prominent cheekbones.

Lucky associations are ruby, turquoise and garnet in birthstones; dark brown, black and gray in colors; onyx, quartz, beryl, obsidian and amethyst in gemstones; ivy and carnation in plants; lead and silver in metals; India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Mexico and Cuba in countries; and goat in animals.

Taurus and Virgo among zodiac signs are the most compatible with Capricorn.

They may be psychologically deprived, especially in their youth, keeping their feelings hidden inside for fear of rejection, and hence not being able to communicate openly. They send themselves to a self-created exile as far as their interaction with the opposite sex is concerned. They live in an emotional island where no one is there to give them company although their passion craves for one turning them ambitious in their attitude and cynical in behavior.

They may take their predicament as their destiny and decide to live a lonely life limited to their own self. Since they are faithful and loyal themselves, they just cannot stand betrayal of any sort and go extremely bitter over it. But as they grow older, they start rounding their sharp edges and start interacting more openly.

They live on extremes. Either they will have no concern, or they will go mad over something they don’t find agreeable. They will either be reserved to the extent of being shy or they will just go over-frank with issues concerning sex. Since they may not get a spouse as honest as in their dreams, they may prefer staying unmarried all through their life. Women prefer to have their independent career rather than depending on the favor of a man. To some extent they are narcissistic in their attitude.

Loneliness and Solitude in life are the keywords for Capricorn in love governing their social life as well. When it comes to loving; Taurus, Virgo and Scorpio are the most favored signs for them. Gemini and Cancer should always be avoided, though in the final analysis the question of the best zodiac signs match for love horoscopes, as far as horoscope Capricorn is concerned, is best decided by their birth date horoscope only.

Capricorn and Aries though highly compatible in bed will never take each other for granted in the matters of other social and financial aspects of life since both of them have their own sharp edges in their personalities, which may create friction especially when the element of jealousy creeps in between. Hence though a short stint will work wonders, a long lasting relationship is not on the cards.

Capricorn and Taurus have a lot to share as far as social, psychological and financial aspects of life are concerned. Even their differences are complementary to each other, supplementing rather than challenging the other. Not only this, they are highly compatible in bed as well! A splendid marriage is on the cards as per horoscope Capricorn relationships vis-à-vis Capricorn compatibility with 12 zodiac signs in compatibility horoscope.

Both Capricorn and Gemini are 180 degree opposite to each other in almost every aspect of life; the former being cautious and slow and the latter, impulsive and fast. The attraction of the opposite aspects of personalities may work for a while and bring the two close to each other but it’s not going to last for long.

The two opposite extremes that Cancer and Capricorn are make them compatible with each other to a great extent. Cancer, being impressionable as a personality, easily allow Capricorn to dominate them in bed as well as in life and even if strong passions are not there, life goes smooth without any friction. A romance is more probable than marriage as per horoscope Capricorn relationships vis-à-vis Capricorn compatibility with 12 zodiac signs in compatibility horoscope.

Leo and Capricorn are never able to be clear about each other whether in bed or in life and want to dominate each other in their own characteristic ways but both are doomed to fail in their efforts. Things do work till they are limited to romance but are flared up as wild fire the moment it turns into a marriage.

Both Virgo and Capricorn are equally practical and orderly in their disposition and can fully rely on each other. Although they don’t have great sex in bed, but life goes perfectly ordered outside the bedroom. Romances are not on the card but a marriage between the two works almost wonders as per horoscope Capricorn relationships vis-à-vis Capricorn compatibility with 12 zodiac signs in compatibility horoscope.

Libra can very easily cast the spell of her/his magic charm on to Capricorn who unluckily very soon starts getting the grunt of the former’s ego and feels suffocated in the relationship all through until she/he starts looking for other partners consciously or unconsciously. The marriage between the two is going to be an utter flop.

Scorpio are imaginative and innovative whereas Capricorn are systematic enough to turn these innovations into an ordered practicality. The two go along quite well whether in bed or outside it though the Scorpio have a tendency to dominate the Capricorn but the latter has no problem in accepting the same as a sign of passionate love between the two. Marriage proves lucky as per horoscope Capricorn relationships vis-à-vis Capricorn compatibility with 12 zodiac signs in compatibility horoscope.

Capricorn and Sagittarius are the two opposite ends of the personality spectrum, the former being excessively safety-conscious and the letter is fond of living on the edge as well as on the spur of the moment even to the extent of playing with dangers putting life in jeopardy often. The two simply cannot tolerate each other and marriage turns awfully unhappy.

The two Capricorns together though do not make it best of both the worlds, yet are able to create a safe and cozy island in the mid of the ocean that the wide horizons of life make it to be. Both are economical and future-oriented, hence even if not passionate, life goes pretty smooth for the two in marriage with each other as per horoscope Capricorn relationships vis-à-vis Capricorn compatibility with 12 zodiac signs in compatibility horoscope.

Aquarius and Capricorn are not the best partners for each other in bed but if they make adjustments, life together can go well without much complication in it. Aquarius love freedom and magic, Capricorn love predictability and practicality. Though not in love with each other, they can still be partners together if they take care for the other.

Pisces are loving-beings as well as willing to cooperate sincerely; hence Capricorn may remain happy with them. Though they are opposite in their personalities, the two have a tendency to cooperate in the walks of life that take them away from each other. If they work it prudently, both romance and marriage can prove to be a success as per horoscope Capricorn relationships vis-à-vis Capricorn compatibility with 12 zodiac signs in compatibility horoscope.

So Capricorn the Sea Goat ACTS!

Being a Cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn, this 10th zodiac sign that the Capricorn are; they are to the point, laborious, action oriented, strategic, and target oriented people for whom the goal of their life whatever they have set it to be is the ultimate in importance.

Elvis Presley

Capricorn people appear to be highly composed people with their mind as clear and focused as a laser beam that apparently makes them do what they are doing with the full conviction in it without any doubt on their part. They seem to be the personification of strength, power and authority as far as their social and psychological identities are concerned.

Benjamin Franklin

But that is only the peel that looks so hard. Inside, the Capricorn are highly vulnerable to the extent of being a victim to the inferiority complex as such. If their authority is challenged, they are left with no feet to stand on, and fall down helpless as if they never had any spine to keep them erect on their own, alone. Social confirmation is the oxygen they need to keep themselves breathing in order to stay alive as a member of the society.

Kahlil Gibran

At their worst they are the biggest pessimists on earth who will see a shadow of doom even if they are sitting in the heaven. They are very rigid and over-cautious in their approach and hence find it very difficult to adjust to the new situations.

As far as the workplace is concerned, the Capricorn are class A-type personalities who are seen to be a boon to the organization they are working for. As subordinates they are loved by their bosses; but when they themselves become one, they are the most hated beings in their office!

Mao Zedong

Their ruling planet Saturn upholding the voice of reason in their birth date horoscope and shaping the Capricorn profile including Capricorn traits and characteristics of Capricorn forms the Capricorn personality that they are, their Capricorn sign dates being December 22 to January 19 among 12 zodiac signs.

Stephen Hawking

Some famous Capricorn personality exponents with a recognizable Capricorn profile including Capricorn traits and characteristics of Capricorn in different fields of social activities are/have been Aristotle Onassis, Ben Kingsley, Benjamin Franklin, Carl Rogers, Edgar Allan Poe, Elvis Presley, George Foreman, Jim Carrey, Kahlil Gibran, Mao Zedong, Martin Luther King Jr, Moliere, Muhammad Ali, Rudyard Kipling, Simone De Beauvoir, Stephen Hawking, President Richard M. Nixon, and Mel Gibson among many others.

According to the myth, as the giant Typhoeus suddenly appeared on earth, he tried to make horrible efforts to tear Jupiter into pieces and turn him out of existence.

As it happened that Bacchus witnessed Typhoeus, he was feasting on the banks of the river Nile at that time. He didn’t waste time and jumped into the river. As he did, the part of his body submerged in the river turned into that of a fish. The rest of the body turned a goat.

The moment Bacchus turned a sea goat; he could visualize what Typhoeus was going to do with Jupiter. He immediately blew a shrill note on his pipes. As Typhoeus heard the warning notes alerting Jupiter, he immediately fled out of the scene and hid himself in obscurity.

As a gesture of thanks, Jupiter placed the new sea goat shape of Bacchus as a constellation in the heavens. And the constellation has stayed there since antiquity.

This is how the Capricorn Mythology, i.e., the mythology of Capricorn the Sea Goat, 10th among 12 zodiac signs goes according to what the legend says. The constellation lies between those of Aquarius and Sagittarius low on the southern horizon.

The constellation is located in an area of sky called the Sea or Water where other water-related constellations are also located, namely Aquarius, Pisces and Eridanus. It is a very faint constellation brighter only than Cancer among the astrological constellations. Alpha Capricorni, Delta Capricorni and Omega Capricorni are the three brightest stars in the constellation forming vertices of a triangle like shape. It also has quite a few galaxies and clusters, Messier 30 being a massive globular cluster among them located 1 degree south of the galaxy group NGC 7103. The wide spiral galaxy NGC 6907 is another one of the constellation’s harboring.

The named stars in the constellation are Algiedi, Prima Giedi, Secunda Giedi, Dabih, Dabih Major, Dabih Minor, Nashira, Deneb Algiedi, Yen, Chow, Al Shat and Yue.

On September 23, 1846 German astronomer Johann Galle discovered the planet Neptune in this constellation; and he could easily do so in September since the constellation is best visible in that month only.

The constellation is commonly represented as a mythical sea-goat being half goat and half fish. Its name in Latin means “horned male goat” or “goat horn”, and its symbol is .

Though Ptolemy’s method of connecting the stars of the constellation has been taken as the most accepted one, H.A. Rey has suggested another interesting visualization as well graphically shaped as a goat in the sky.

As of 2002, the Sun appears in the Capricorn constellation from January 19 to February 15. In tropical astrology, it is there from December 22 to January 19, and in sidereal astrology, from January 15 to February 14. That is how these stars affect people born during this period and make the constellations their zodiac signs.
