The only astrological sign that does not appear in any other myth is the Capricorn. The sea-goat did not get flung into the sky in a great Greek legend, and did not come from any tale of the ancients, so far as we can tell.
As a Capricorn myself, I have often felt midly ashamed of the Capricorn. It does not exemplify a great virtue; it is a goat with a fish tail.
Then, I read something which changed my opinion of the Capricorn forever.
The Capricorn, due to its dual nature, can not only survive, but can thrive, in any environment.
From the highest of mountaintops, to the deepest of seas, a Capricorn can adapt to any circumstance and benefit greatly by it.
Yet, we like to stay where we are. We tend to go stagnant. If left to our own devices, we will stay right where we are.
There is another animal that shares this trait. This animal also has the dual nature of living in different environments.
The Frog.
While watching a frog the other day, I viewed it through the lens of Capricorn. Not only am I a Capricorn myself, I have Capricorns in my family, and count many Capricorns among my friends.
Watching the frog, I saw reflections of their personalities.
A frog sits. It is impermeable, at least temporarily, to the poking of sticks by children, and the sniffing of dogs.
When finally moved, the Frog will leap, far and fast, to find another place to sit without moving.
Often achieving stagnation in these places, when time comes to change, the Frog can move drastically, and land perfectly, every time.
