tail of a fish.

"ear"), creation, crafts; magic; water, seawater and lakewater (a, aba, ab).

intelligence, curiosity, but also steadiness, and ability to thrive in
inhospitable environments while the fish represents passion, spirituality,
intuition, and connection with the soul. Individuals born between December
21 to January 19 may be called Capricornian.
