Capricorn Hand Painted Soap

Dates: December 22 - January 19 Capricorn (Latin for ‘horned goat) is the 10th sign of the zodiac and is represented by the Goat. It's name comes from the myth of Capricorn and is connected to Pan, the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilds and rustic music. Pan had goat legs and the musical instrument he played, the panpipes, telling a special love story of a woman who feared her courtier, running away from his compliments. One of the stories of Pan speaks of a gathering of gods that was interrupted by Typhon, the monstrous giant. Out of fear, all of the gods changed shape, while Pan jumped into the river Nile, turning his legs into a tail of the fish, and his torso to a goat, to confuse the monster and scare it away with his appearance. Capricornus looks like a large triangle of fairly bright stars. The brightest stars are side-by-side at the triangle's western tip (you can see them on the soap). Capricornus was listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolomy, but prior to this listing, it was one of the constellations oldest known to men, despite its faintness. It was represented as a hybrid of a goat and a fish since the Middle Bronze Age, with the first attested depictions dated around the 21st century BC. In Babylonian star catalogues it was recorded as “The Goat-Fish” before 1000 BC. Element: Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn - These are the grounded, earthy Signs of the Zodiac.
