Tattoo in today’s world is one of the most fashionable statements that people carry. However, the significance is two-folded. It can have a deep meaning or probably just in vogue. Each tattoo speaks differently but it is increasingly in trend to get the tattoo inked to the body. Truth be told, twenty-five years ago too, tattoos were pretty basic especially on sailors and pirates, prison convicts, and the kinsmen of tough motorcycle gangs. If you searched for some inscriptions on accountants, ping-pong players, or shoe salesmen though, it would have been a rather rare find. What remains a mystery is the question that when did the tattoo originate? Ironically, tattoos have seen their existence since the inception of human history. The word ‘tattoo’ is speculated to be acquired from both the Polynesian “ta” — meaning “to strike” — and the Tahitian “tatau” — meaning “to mark.”

MEANING

Every zodiac sign has a unique symbol, or glyph, which is related to the mythicism behind it. For instance, Libra is governed by symmetry and harmony, so its glyph follows ‘the Scales of Justice’. Capricorn is typified by the hoof of a mountain goat and the tail of a fish. Nearly all amongst the 12 zodiac signs are represented by an animal, with the exclusion of Gemini, Virgo, and Libra. Like the others, the Capricorn symbol also has a unique meaning.

The symbol of the Capricorn sun sign is the Sea-Goat. As a grounded earth sign and an initiating cardinal sign, Capricorn is the zodiac’s workaholic one. It is the sign identified for making long-term strategies, meriting oneself with honors and awards, and accomplishing a public image and critical plaudits. In addition to this and along with its mystic, mermaid tail, Capricorn can also dive into the most mysterious wells of the imagination and amalgamate creativity with productivity. A Capricorn is someone whose birth date typically fall from December 21 or 22 to January 19. Drive, structure, goals, and performance are the main Capricorn traits. Hence, the Capricorn symbol of the hoof of a mountain goat and the tail of a fish reveals the prestige and passion of this over-achieving zodiac sign.
