Others claim that it was the goat of Amalthaea, which fed Jupiter with her milk.
Macrobius, who calls Cancer and Capricorn the gates of the sun, makes the latter sign to represent his motion, after the manner of a goat climbing the mountains.
AQUARIUS, the Water Bearer .-- A constellation in the heavens so called, because during its rising there is usually an abundance of rain.

It is the eleventh sign in the zodiac, reckoned from Aries, and is marked thus, [symbol for AQUARIUS].

It rises in January and sets in February, and is supposed by the poets to be Ganymede.
PISCES, the Fishes, [symbol for PISCES] .-- The twelfth sign of the zodiac, rises in February and is represented by two fishes tied together by the tails.

These fishes are fabled by the Greeks to be those into which Venus and Cupid were changed to escape from the giant Typhon.

This fable may not be true, but that wonderful miracles were once performed with two small fishes is stated in the ninth chapter of the Gospel of St.Luke, where it is said that 5000 hungry mortals were cheaply, if not sumptuously regaled with two small fishes and five loaves of bread; while a large surplus of this piscatory diet, larger indeed than the original stock, still remained intact.
In the vestibule or approaches to catholic churches is usually found a vase filled with water, (called Piscina,) and this water is considered holy.
