or Capricornus
(Latin: "Goat horn") In astronomy, the constellation lying between Aquarius and Sagittarius; in astrology , the tenth sign of the zodiac , governing approximately the period December 22–January 19.
It is represented as a goat with what appears to be a fishtail. One explanation for this odd depiction is that it derives from the Greek myth of Pan . To avoid the monster Typhon, Pan jumped into the water just as he was changing into animal shape. The half of his body above water became a goat, while the submerged half took the shape of a fish. Another relates the form to the Mesopotamian deity Enki (see Ea ).
