Sterrenbeeld

Steenbok is een oude dierenriemconstellatie. Capricornus verwijst naar de gehoornde geit of geit-vis.

The name of the constellation comes from the Latin word "Capricornus" which means the horned Goat- a mythical creature that is half goat and half fish. This constellation lies in the Northern Hemisphere and lies between Sagittarius to the east and Aquarius in the west. This constellation would be clearly seen from Europe during the mornings in September.

The constellation of this is an old one and is said to be found during the Middle Bronze age. This constellation is a very faint one, but still has a host of stars to boast of. They are alpha star, Deneb Algedi, Denebola, Nashira and Giedi.

Meteorenregens

The Alpha Capricornids are the Meteor showers that belong to the constellation of Capricorn and are active in July -August. They vary in strength between 3rd July and the 15th of August and usually peak on the 30th of July. This Meteor shower is visible on either sides of the equator. This is not a strong meteor shower and would produce only about five members in an hour. However this is noted for the bright fireballs produced.

De geit

The Mountain Goat is the symbol of the zodiac sign of Capricorn. This is an animal that lives on mountain peaks. It is tuned to endure the rough conditions on high altitudes and climbs lofty heights without retreating. Much like the Mountain Goat, the Capricorn natives are very enduring, they toil till their ambitions are met.

Capricorns are sure-footed, they take one step at a time and do not retract from their path even when obstacles face them head-on. Do note that the clime at the peaks would be very stable and sure without much competition though. Capricorns like the goat are known for their resilience and ability to work hard all day long. They are also stubborn like the goat.

Capricorns are very self-disciplined in life and do not yield to surrounding temptations. They do not take risks in life, rather take the hard way up the ladder and hence are better represented by the Goat.

De glyph

The Glyph of this zodiac sign is a very complex figure. It has a combination of straight lines that represent the rational nature of the Capricorns. The glyph consists of a crescent that denotes their emotional side and a circle that represents the spiritual nature of the Capricorns.

Tijdperk

The Age of Capricorn was better called as the Age of Reason, the Age of Enlightenment or the Age of Philosophers in most of Europe. During this age the Ching Dynasty flourished in China. Great philosophers like Sir Isaac Newton, Adam Smith and Descartes lived during this age.

The this Age it saw Monarchies being formed in Europe. The British Commonwealth was formed around the same time. Republican forms of government sprouted across Europe and the French Revolution was the last nail during this age of Capricorn. All classical forms of art and music also flourished as the Age of Capricornians proceeded.

In verschillende beschavingen

In the Middle East, Capricorn is given various mythological associations. It is represented as a half fish and half goat creature. It was called the Goat-Fish before 1000 BC. During the Bronze age the Capricorn period marked the Winter solstice. Capricorn was also associated with the God by name Ea who was residing under the ocean and who came out every day to look over the land and returned every night to his abode.

The Egyptians and Chinese associated this Age with the rainy season. Being followed by Aquarius- the water bearer and Pisces the fish is relevant to this theory.

The Greeks considered Capricornian as half man and half goat by name Pan, which was the son of Hermes and a Nymph. Pan was later given responsibility of taking over the sheep and became a shepherd. It is said that Pan did not return to Olympus, instead stayed on the mountains and played his pipes all day long.

In Celtic Astrology, This is considered as the God of the Wicco who represented fertility, the flocks and forests. This was also considered to give life to all and held the keys to death and resurrection.
