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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Then, I read something which changed my opinion of the Capricorn forever.<\/p>\n
The Capricorn, due to its dual nature, can not only survive, but can thrive, in any environment.<\/p>\n
From the highest of mountaintops, to the deepest of seas, a Capricorn can adapt to any circumstance and benefit greatly by it.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
There is another animal that shares this trait. This animal also has the dual nature of living in different environments.<\/p>\n
The Frog.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Watching the frog, I saw reflections of their personalities.<\/p>\n
A frog sits. It is impermeable, at least temporarily, to the poking of sticks by children, and the sniffing of dogs.<\/p>\n
When finally moved, the Frog will leap, far and fast, to find another place to sit without moving.<\/p>\n
Often achieving stagnation in these places, when time comes to change, the Frog can move drastically, and land perfectly, every time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
