Capricorn is the tenth of the zodiac signs resembling a goat fish as far as zodiac symbols are concerned. It corresponds to the constellation of its name though the precession of the equinoxes has misaligned it from this constellation in western astrology.

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.
