Creature of Greek mythology whose upper body was that of a goat and whose lower body was that of a fish. It was formed when Typhon was chasing a creature that was going to be a goat. The creature leapt into the sea only half-formed, thus it became half-fish and half-goat. It has since been a symbol of safe travel.

In astrology, Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac, represented by a goat (usually one with a fish's tail). People born under this sign (December 22 - January 20) are often characterized by an outgoing personality, forthrightness, level-headedness, and aloofness. See below for more info.
