Attractive, mysterious, collected, disciplined, responsible. It’s easy to think that Capricorn is a predictable and boring zodiac sign, but this is far from the case. Let’s figure out what they really are, Capricorn men and women.
Capricorn is a zodiac sign that is influenced by Saturn. The constellation was known back in Sumerian times. Later it was mentioned and revered by the Australian Aborigines, the ancient Babylonians and the Greeks. It’s worth figuring out where this representative of the zodiac came from.
One of the legends says that this is the incarnation of the mythical goat Amalthea, who fed Zeus himself. But there is another legend that says that Capricorn is a deity with horns and hooves – Pan. Zeus granted him a place in the sky for his help in the battle with the monster Typhon. Fleeing from the monster, Pan found himself in the Nile, where he also acquired a tail, like a fish. Almost like the usual image of Capricorn.
