Platonic level (Metaphysical Principles):

Negative cardinal earth is reserved, working patiently and methodically toward a well-defined objective, before quickly shifting focus to the next task. Capricorn embodies discipline and ambition, employing strategy to achieve tangible results and professional success. Capricorn represents the principle of structure.

Mythic level (Mythic Deities and Figures):

Greek God: Pan

Pan, the god of nature, wilderness, and carnal desires, governs the primal instincts and unbridled aspects of the natural world. His nature is one of wildness, lust, and the physical urges that drive life. These qualities reflect The Materialist archetype, which is concerned with materialism, temptation, and the limitations imposed by the physical realm and earthly desires.
