The Symbolism of Capricorn [and goats]
Capricorn is the tenth sign in the zodiac. Its pictorial representation has the head of a goat, and the tail of a fish . Capricorn as an actual Constellation of stars, is faint. But whereas Cancer was the 'Golden Gate ' through which souls descended from heaven into human bodies, its opposite sign, Capricorn, is said to house the 'Gate of the Gods' where souls of the departed ascended back to heaven. Capricorn 'contains' the winter solstice which, for our ancestors was a momentous time of year, the time that the Sun starts to climb up, appearing higher and higher in the sky each day. This is why the symbol of the Goat is used, goats climb, up and up, just like the Sun. Indeed, so important was the Solstice to our ancestors, that ancient monuments such as Newgrange in Ireland and Stonehenge in the UK are aligned with the sunrise or sunset on the winter solstice. Furthermore, despite its faintness as an astronomical constellation, it has one of the oldest mythological associations. The Babylonians used MULSUḪUR.MAŠ "The Goat-Fish" as a symbol of their god Ea. But why the curly fish tail? The tail signifies something a good deal more important than the rainy season or the time of floods. And one apparently controversial explanation is that our ancestors were attempting to explain the precession of the equinoxes. And we provide an explanation of this phenomenon in the video - and the effects it had on the early Julian and Gregorian calendars. And if you think you know what time is, you may find this video something of an eye opener.
