Capricorn

The Sea-Goat and the Climb of the Soul

Once upon a time…..

When the gods still etched stories into the stars and mortals still listened for the voice of the wind, there lived a creature unlike any other – Priscus, the sea-goat. Half goat, half fish, he was born of the deep and the high, the mountain’s edge and the ocean’s floor. He belonged to both realms – and yet fully to neither. Priscus, guarded the ancient wisdom of the Earth. In his heart were the songs of stone and salt, the rhythms of tide and time. He spent his days climbing the world’s tallest peaks, not to conquer them, but to commune with the silence that lived there, for in the silence, he remembered.

It was said the gods gave Capricorn form so that those who wandered between realms - between spirit and structure, soul and responsibility -might have a guide.

Priscus did not chase glory. He climbed for clarity, to glimpse the truth that could only be seen from above. But Capricorn’s tale is not one of isolation. For though he climbed alone, his journey was never selfish. At each resting place he carved symbols into stone, left herbs for healers, or whispered dreams into the wind for those below. He knew that real leadership was not built in the spotlight, but in quiet acts of devotion over time.

The gods, moved by his endurance, his depth, and his discipline, lifted him into the night sky, etching his tale in the sea of stars and his hooves upon the peaks of the zodiac.

Thus, Capricorn became the constellation of mastery, stewardship, and soul-aligned ambition.

To walk the Capricorn path is to understand this:

You are here not just to climb – but to remember why you climb.

The summit is sacred, not because it is highest, but because it reflects the journey within.

You hold the keys to build what lasts. And like the sea-goat, you are at once ancient and visionary able to rise, because you have dared to dive. To be born under this sign means you carry the blueprint of the mountain, the slow and sacred path of mastery.

You are a builder of time-tested truths, a steward of legacy, and a soul forged through endurance into wisdom. Capricorn is a faint constellation, more easily seen in the dark winter skies, once associated with the winter solstice point in ancient calendars.

It is home to the fixed star Dabih at 4-degrees Aquarius, a star of strategic intelligence, with undertones of mystical knowledge and reserve.
