The Symbol of the Sea-Goat
The symbol of Capricorn is not merely the Mountain Goat, but rather...an elusive creature known as the Sea-Goat. The Sea-Goat possesses some remarkable abilities. It is the only creature capable of experiencing both the waters of the earth and the land. Symbolically that also refers to the spiritual world and the real world.
The Structured Influence-Earth Sign
As an earth sign Capricorn represents the principals of hard work, perseverance, integrity and determination. In its role as one of three Earth signs it takes the things that Taurus has found and adored and that Virgo has repaired and made strong and it turns them into valuable tools that build personal success, character and strength. Earth signs often possess amazing patience, read occasionally as stubbornness, but that tenacity allows this powerful sign to build incredibly strong empires that ultimately serve the rest.
More and more and more...
Capricorn rules the 10th house, the house of big business, career and the public. It is executive leadership, a no-nonsense agenda and capable of turning an idea into a formidable plan. It is success oriented, searching for those kinds of positions and projects that bring long term viability and stability. Capricorn is also traditional, preferring the tried and true to the new and innovative.
