About this symbol
The sign for Capricorn is drawn from the sea goat, a goat with the tail of a fish, which is how the ancient Babylonians and Greeks pictured the constellation. The Tropic of Capricorn is named after it, because the Sun stood in Capricorn at the December solstice when the name was given.
