Capricorn (♑︎) (Greek: Αιγόκερως, romanized: Aigókerōs, Latin for "horned goat") is the tenth astrological sign in the zodiac out of twelve total zodiac signs, originating from the constellation of Capricornus, the goat.[2] It spans the 270–300th degree of the zodiac, corresponding to celestial longitude. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun transits this area from around December 22 to January 19.[2] Capricorn is one of the three earth signs, alongside Virgo and Taurus,[3] a negative sign,[4][5] and one of the four cardinal signs. Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn and its opposite sign is Cancer.[6]
