Origins
in
Mythology
The sign of Capricorn within the Astrological zodiac dates
back to at least some 4,000 years. It is known that the Sumerians
placed a great emphasis upon this particular time of the period. During
their age, the winter solstice occurred within Capricorn. On this date,
many cultures of the ancient world would perform elaborate rituals and
carry out sacrifices.
The association of the goat with Capricorn clearly dates back
to ancient Babylon, at least. The Greeks related the sign to the horned
god Pan. The image of the hybrid goat-fish creature corresponds to the
tale of Pan's encounter with the beast Typhon..Attempting to escape the
dreaded monster, Pan turned his lower half into a fish, in order to
swiftly swim away. However, here again, the association of Capricorn
with water, also dates to earlier cultures.
The Egyptians and Chinese recognized this period as the
commencement of the much anticipated rainy season. Immediately
following Capricorn are Aquarius, the water bearer, pouring moisture
upon the earth, and Pisces, the fish, immersed in the unseen life
giving forces of water.
