Capricorn the Goat!

Capricorn’s are basically goat mermaids. I don’t know if that’s amazing or ridiculous. I’m gonna go with amazing.

Mythos

In Greek mythology, this constellation is associated with the time the Olympian gods sought refuge in Egypt. Unfortunately, following their epic battle with the Titans, peace did not last for long, as the monster Typhon, son of the Titan Tartarus and Earth, sought revenge. Typhon was a fearsome fire-breathing creature, taller than mountains and with arms which possessed dragons' heads in place of fingers. The Olympian gods sought to escape by adopting various disguises: Zeus, a ram - Hera, a white cow, Bacchus (another version of the myth suggests Pan) a goat. As Typhon approached, Bacchus/Pan threw himself into the Nile but, in a panic, only succeeded in changing part of his body, ending up with a goat's body and the tail of a fish. Meanwhile, Zeus had been dismembered by Typhon, but was saved when Bacchus/Pan let out an ear-splitting yell, distracting the monster long enough for an agile Hermes to collect the supreme god's limbs and carefully restore him. In gratitude, Zeus transferred Bacchus/Pan to the heavens.

Personality and traits

If you tried to form a relationship with a Capricorn, you learned how difficult this can be. These masters of practical facts and useful things often have too much pain in their lives to open up with ease. This makes them closed, distant and impossible to reach. However emotional in their inner world, they will rarely show it, and to form a lasting bond with someone, they need a lot of time to realize that they won’t be betrayed. Even though they are perfectly capable of joyful, spontaneous and fast relationships in their youth, with age they get more cautious and tend to close up in their own little worlds, without any intent to let anyone in.

Capricorns might seem melancholy and stern because they live by self-discipline and responsibility. They evaluate everything and they don't take daring chances without weighing the advantages and disadvantages first. To the onlooker, they might seem boring but it is the serious drive and structured way of life that they feel safe with. Self-sufficiency is often mistook for coldness, they are not as cold as they seem, this might be apparent just because they like to do everything themselves this way there is no worry about something not finished or not done properly. It is all about control of their surroundings and their daily lives and sometimes this spills into other people's lives. They believe they can give structure and organize other people's lives too, which they can but others might see this as intrusive and not welcome the Capricorn's suggested changes. According to them, there is only a right way and a wrong way to do things and this idea makes some closed minded, stubborn and reluctant to agree with others. This is an ongoing lesson for Capricorns, knowing that there is more then one way of doing things and even though their way is usually right, it does not mean that they have to impose their ways on others.

Capricorns are very ambitious people, they always have something they are pursuing and they want their lives to be fulfilled and important. They're extremely patient and will wait a long time for something they want, when the opportunity arises, they will plan their steps carefully to others, they might appear hesitant but this is not true, they know that there is only one chance to succeed and they are filing together their information to take the proper steps to accomplish their goal with flying colors, not just second rate. Capricorns have a very active mind and strong powers of concentration and like being in control of their surroundings and everyone in their life. Capricorns are very cautious but this only to survey the situation before leaping in, they will never make a hasty jump in. They accept change but introduce it slowly so they can get used to it and incorporate it into their life. Capricorns tend to see life in black or white, definitive's only. There are no gray areas for these are areas that are not understood and this makes Capricorn feel uncomfortable. They tend to be in control in a romantic relationship that way they are never vulnerable to another person. But they are the strong friend. They will always be there to help, they are very sympathetic, caring and helpful to a friend in need. They will get someone back on their feet again with a steady plan for success and for all this, they expect nothing in return. They are a friend who is deep and mysterious and full of intrigue, there always seems to be something going on in their mind.
