Jesbe's Work Log

• February 29, 2020- Decided on Capricorn(astrology) Article. Read the article, and looked at the current sources. Went to a few links, seen many of the links are still functioning. There are two headings, and it's 2 paragraphs long. This is an article needs a lot of information added, it's only about 31 percent complete with 4044 views per day. It is start class of high importance. For some reason in the Talk page the "Notable Persons" had been deleted, and now that section is referenced to another page. There are users on the talk page who removed information because they want more references to back up the information to prove it is factual information based on astronomers publishing and studies. I wrote some notes down below in "Jesbe's Edit's" for some more information I'm looking into adding.
• March 13, 2020- I re-read through the articles I found last week thoroughly. I found out one of them was actually an “astrology cookbook”, which didn’t have anything particularly relevant for this topic. So I added a better reference with information about the constellation of Capricorn. I took notes on the Capricorn constellation, and I began rephrasing it in my own words. I also researched several books on the origin of Astrology. From this, I gathered another reliable reference. This source contains information on Astrological mythology that I will be using under a new heading.(2hours)

Capricorn (♑) is the tenth astrological sign in the zodiac out of twelve total zodiac signs, originating from the constellation of Capricornus, the horned goat. It spans the 270–300th degree of the zodiac, corresponding to celestial longitude. Under the tropical zodiac, the sun transits this area from about December 21 to January 21 the following year, and under the sidereal zodiac, the sun transits the constellation of Capricorn from approximately January 16 to February 16. In astrology, Capricorn is considered an earth sign, negative sign, and one of the four cardinal signs. Capricorn is said to be ruled by the planet Saturn.

There appears to be a connection between traditional characterisations of Capricorn as a sea goat and the Sumerian god of wisdom and waters, Enki, who also had the head and upper body of a goat and the lower body and tail of a fish. Later known as Ea in Akkadian and Babylonian mythology, Enki was the god of intelligence (gestú, literally "ear"), creation, crafts; magic; water, seawater and lakewater (a, aba, ab).

In Hindu astrology, the equivalent of Capricorn is Makara, the Crocodile.

Cultural significance[edit]

In India, the zodiac sign of Capricorn is celebrated as the Makara Sankranti festival. The Indian astronomical calendar is not based on the western Gregorian or Julian date keeping system. Gregorian calendar has fixed days in a year and does not accommodate difference in the actual solar year. Therefore, the festival is celebrated on either of 14 or 15 January every year, when, as per the Indian astronomical calendar, the Sun actually enters the Capricorn sign.
