capricorne

Capricorne is the French name for the zodiac sign Capricorn. In Western astrology, Capricorns are those born roughly from December 22 to January 19, though exact dates vary with the year. The sign is the tenth of the zodiac and is associated with the element Earth and the cardinal (initiating) modality. Its symbol is the Sea-Goat, a creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish. The traditional ruling planet is Saturn; some modern astrologers also assign Pluto as a co-ruler.

Capricorns are commonly described as practical, disciplined, and ambitious. They value structure, long-term planning, and responsibility, often approaching goals with patience and perseverance. They may appear reserved or cautious, prioritizing reliability over spontaneity, and they frequently excel in organized, methodical work environments. Positive tendencies include resilience, perseverance, and a steady focus on results; negative tendencies can involve rigidity, pessimism, or workaholism.

Mythologically, Capricorn is linked to Pan, who, according to Greek myth, transformed into a sea-goat to escape the monster Typhon. The emblem emphasizes endurance and adaptability in the face of adversity. In contemporary astrology, Capricorns are often associated with leadership, governance, and the pursuit of tangible achievements, both personally and professionally.
