Today we’re going to feature one of the zodiac houses in Wandering Star: Capricorn. We’ve got the links to everyone else’s posts on the tour, so be sure to check them out so you can learn about all of the houses in the book. First, here’s the 411 on Wandering Star by Romina Russell:

Orphaned, disgraced, and stripped of her title, Rho is ready to live life quietly, as an aid worker in the Cancrian refugee camp on House Capricorn.
But news has spread that the Marad--an unbalanced terrorist group determined to overturn harmony in the Galaxy--could strike any House at any moment.
Then, unwelcome nightmare that he is, Ochus appears to Rho, bearing a cryptic message that leaves her with no choice but to fight.
Now Rho must embark on a high-stakes journey through an all-new set of Houses, where she discovers that there's much more to her Galaxy--and to herself--than she could have ever imagined.

#10: HOUSE CAPRICORN, wisdom
Chroniclers neutralize their enemies with the Shrill, a weapon made from Sea-goat horns, the insides of which are carved with a series of ridges using a centuries old technique. When sounded, the Chronicler’s breath passes through thousands of intricate airways to emit a sound at a frequency that shuts down the nervous system of anyone who hears it, eventually causing bodies to fall over and seize. With time and talent, Chroniclers can learn to sound the device delicately enough to target a single individual, or with enough force to level an army.
What would the Shrill look like? We’re not exactly sure, but here’s a picture of a Sea-goat and since it’s made from the horns, we’ve got the idea:
When we think of wisdom, we can’t help but think of owls:
