Country Associated with Capricorn – India
India is ancient and has beautiful history.  Their art, religion, music, and food separates them from the world.  They are spiritual and thoughtful in the way they go about life.  The stories and architecture will always be remembered.  One of my favorite was the story of the Taj Mahal.  The emporer’s wife died during child birth.  He was so devastated that he decided to build her the most beautiful palace ever seen encrusted in jewels and gold.  This is what he stated after he saw the Taj Mahal completed;

 “Should guilty seek asylum here,
Like one pardoned, he becomes free from sin.
Should a sinner make his way to this mansion,
All his past sins are to be washed away.
The sight of this mansion creates sorrowing sighs;
And the sun and the moon shed tears from their eyes.
In this world this edifice has been made;
To display thereby the creator’s glory.”
