Capricorn, the Majestic Mountain and the Everlasting Classic
cosmic sea goats, mergoats, earth cardinals, stewards of the wilds
Welcome to winter season of Enchanted Zodiac, a written storytelling journey through the zodiacal signs and their stories. Zodiac is a belt-shaped region, a belt-shaped celestial landscape of our sky. This is the path our Sun, our Moon, our fellow wanderers (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn…) follow. Hence this attracts our attention to itself amongst all the fixed stars and constellations. For thousands of years, many different cultures, many people have dreamt and created stories with the Zodiac. It is unique in that sense. Since last spring, we have been traveling through the Zodiac one sign at a time, three signs at a season, so far we have told the stories of
Spring Zodiac: Aries, the Horned Spring Sparker, Taurus, the Great Living Rock, Gemini, the Buzzing Winged Trickster,
Summer Zodiac: Cancer, the Nurturing Imaginative Water, Leo, the Pawed Clawed Maned Roaring Star, Virgo, the Mythic Poetic Creative Harvest,
Fall Zodiac: Libra, the Universal Justice and the Cosmic Joke, Scorpio, the Deep Dark Compost, the Hungry Swamp and the Eternal Mystery, Sagittarius, the Inspired and Inspiring Storytelling Galactic Center.
And today, we shape-shift into a goat with the tail of a fish and a majestic mountain stands in front of us. Older, bigger, heavier and stronger. The mountain has been on our rocky planet for billions of years, sitting heavy on the Earth and reaching high to the Heavens. They halt us. They gather our attention and respect. They hear our names and intentions. They promise nothing. They ask for everything. We are expected to give our all and better be accountable for it. This is a deep journey into maturity. Our planet longs to ripen us all and we long to belong.

Winter has arrived. Cosmic Sea Goat welcomes us to Winter Zodiac. The Sun has reached their lowest point, tucked and kissed the Earth good night, good winter. Rest now, conserve your energy, sleep, hibernate, dream, my planet child. A blanket of quietude covers the planet. The Earth is still. The Earth is sleeping. The Earth is snoring. The Earth is dreaming. Those who have not slept or migrated to warmer climates are finding ways to relate with winter.
