Capricorn

22 December to 20 January

The Capricornus (Capricorn) constellation is often identified as a goat with a fish tail. In Greek mythology, the goat suckled the infant Zeus after his mother Rhea saved him from being devoured by his father Cronos. The sun is at its winter solstice when crossing the Capricornus constellation. Another myth developed from this fact, as a broken horn from the goat is known as the “horn of plenty.” The sun is said to take nourishment from the horn before it climbs up the horizon towards spring and summer.
