The goat with a fish's tail
Capricorn is a goat with a fish's tail, one of the oldest figures in the sky: the Babylonians were already drawing it more than 3,000 years ago, tied to the waters. The Greeks gave it their own myth. When the monster Typhon attacked the gods, Pan jumped into the Nile to escape and turned into a goat above and a fish below. The transformation is said to have stayed half done because he was in a hurry. Zeus placed him among the stars.
The Sun enters Capricorn at the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, and from then on the days grow longer again. Tradition links the sign with discipline and patience.
Myths come in several versions. This is one of the most widespread.
