Let it be, let it be, speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Here we have astrological neighbours, as they are basically next door to each other in the zodiac. In terms of element and modality, they’re totally different however.Capricorn is Cardinal Earth, and Aquarius is Fixed Air. Earth and Air are not naturally the most compatible, because Earth is about being grounded and setting down roots, whereas air is always circulating and moving in a new direction, making it a more flexible energy.
However, there’s a lot more commonality between these zodiac signs than meets the eye. Aquarius, being a Fixed sign, will gravitate to Earth, because what it sees in Capricorn is an honest broker, someone who’s reliable and straightforward. A part of the Aquarian personality does crave certainty and consistency, particularly of affection, because Aquarius can feel misunderstood and and slightly vulnerable.
Saturn rules Capricorn, and Saturn is the co-ruler of Aquarius, so both these astrological signs can be a insecure as both of them have some social anxiety. They are both zodiac signs who have a big zest for life, but who are often quite modest, self-effacing, and for whom a little bit of self-doubt holds them back. So they immediately kind of respect each other, and there’s something in common in terms of both of them being fairly aspirational about how they live their life, while also having a degree of caution and trepidation.
They see something of the vulnerability in each other, and what’s quite beautiful about this cosmic relationship is there’s a lot of innate understanding, a spiritual awareness of each other’s Achilles heel. They want to help each other.
They are both able to talk, share secrets, and they can make each other feel more secure. Together, they may actually grow in terms of self-worth. They can also be rather good professional or business partners.
Although they can be very different in nature, and both being stubborn they can rub each other the wrong way at times, there are also some core values they share or aspire to which bond them.
This has a 75% chance of long-term success.
Romantic Compatibility Between Aquarius and Capricorn
I feel these two Sun signs will not immediately be drawn to each other. In terms of a social situation or online dating, it’s less likely that they’re going to strike up a conversation, because they don’t share the same kind of communication traits and therefore the banter, the shared humour, and the chatting just aren’t there initially.
However, if they work together or they have time to get to know each other in another context, they will immediately begin to establish a rapport and they will naturally appreciate each other’s energy and start spending more time together. They may be the sort of couple who suddenly find they have quite a few areas of agreement and the attraction can take them totally by surprise.
If they spend some time together, they might find they like each other more than they thought they would, and something rather powerful begins to develop in romance.
Capricorn does like someone who is friendly, sociable, and easygoing, but they’re also looking for someone a little bit conservative and charming. Now, Aquarius isn’t really those things. Aquarius tends to be more unpredictable, a little bit controversial, and doesn’t feel totally “safe” to Capricorn, which means romance isn’t really natural at first.
When it comes to Aquarius, they like a witty, bubbly partner who is rather confident and who talks an awful lot and that’s not really Capricorn. Capricorn can be the shy, reserved type, and Capricorns often aren’t immediately verbose. So, romance between them is tricky. It’s not going to happen naturally. They’ll need to start liking each other because of other things, and then the relationship can grow, but they might have to give the whole romantic dating phase a bit of a miss and go straight from strangers to the bedroom.
Sexual Compatibility
Now, in terms of sex, there can be something rather esoteric and enchanting about this zodiac pair. Capricorn does like someone who is unique, original, and has a certain flair, so Capricorn is intrigued to know what the Aquarius has to offer. There’s a hint of danger to Aquarius, a whiff of the unknown, and this excites Capricorn, because for all their traits of conservatism and steadfastness, they, as a Cardinal sign, do want to be pushed out of their comfort zones. They know Aquarius is game to do that and it gets the adrenaline going. It’s quite exciting.
When it comes to Aquarius, they are looking for an earthy influence in the bedroom. They are turned on by Capricorn because they like the methodical, systematic approach of the Capricorn. The Capricorn is earthy and sensual, but they also treat the sexual arena as a place to learn, to improve, and to try out new things and this all suits Aquarius.
Capricorn can be a little bit more self-expressive when it comes to the bedroom, and even more dramatic and Aquarius is really attracted to the more assertive energy that Capricorn has in intimacy. So sexually, it can be rather feisty and compatible. It’s not the most natural experience, but it does become more and more satisfying.
Friendship Between Aquarius and Capricorn
One of the reasons why these two are firm friends is a high degree of honesty. When they interact with each other, communication is not necessarily excessive, it can actually be quite succinct. They enjoy spending time together, not so that they can be constantly chatting, but because they simply enjoy absorbing each other’s company. They can actually feel quite happy and secure just chilling together. It can be a relaxing experience.
They may have a similar interest in spiritual pursuits, meditation, or perhaps finding other ways to increase their own confidence.
Now, both these star signs often feel misunderstood, they may feel that they’re both not everyone’s cup of tea. They have very defined personalities, and sometimes they set themselves apart as they can be a little bit standoffish or loners. So, they’re not necessarily going to have wide groups of friends.
They can become each other’s confidants, people who trust one another enough to share secrets, but who don’t necessarily have to go around the party scene trying to be the most popular couple out there. They’ll probably like to spend quiet time alone, simply drawing comfort from the fact that each other is around, even if they’re not actively communicating.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
Now, I’m wondering if these two star signs have the impetus to go down the aisle together? Sexually and in terms of friendship, it’s a powerful relationship. Whether they get married or not, I think they can both be very beneficial to each other’s development. They can play a strong role in each other’s lives in terms of advice-giving, seeking solace, and offering words of wisdom.
Both these zodiac signs tend to be very fatalistic. They may both believe that they were meant to be together, that they’ve been thrust together for a reason and this gives them confidence to pursue the relationship, turn it into a marriage, and stick with it. One thing’s for sure: once they’ve invested in the relationship, they’ll want to make it work.
On a powerful note, they are not competitive with each other. They are different enough to have their own hobbies, friends, and pursuits without trying to suffocate each other. It’s true that both can be a little bit needy, but together they are actually able to fill that gap, as familiarity tends to bring them both a lot of contentment. As I say, both these star signs are strong believers in fate and a higher force, and they may feel that the relationship is destined, it could actually be a case of twin flames.
I think this marriage can work because they are both stoic, determined, and fairly rational people who just get on with things and won’t allow small dramas to derail the relationship. They will also work hard at family and money-making matters.
Strengths and Challenges of the Relationship
Unspoken understanding and being able to communicate without words is one of the key aspects of their relationship. There is also a lot of simpatico in terms of them both having similar vulnerabilities, anxieties, and reticence about expressing themselves. They are both fairly self-contained, modest star signs who have a shy side, and they will be comfortable around each other knowing that.
While it may take fate to thrust them together, once they get to know each other they discover many things they really like. That’s not to say there aren’t points of disagreement, because their values and the things they want from life can be very different, but they both are able to benefit from each other’s personality and find areas of compatibility and cooperation and both are fairly pragmatic and take a reasonable approach to life, which is helpful.
While they aren’t necessarily very romantic in terms of being lovey-dovey or showering each other with gifts and effusiveness, and while they’re not even that affectionate, the intimate side of a relationship can be deeply interesting, rewarding to them both, and an arena of life they look forward to. It helps bond them.
Communication in this astrology relationship is often a struggle. If there are things they have to decide on, there can be lengthy debates and discussions and often these are not very focused. They both have a bit of an ego and can be stuck in their ways. That means, in the areas where they disagree, they will have to agree to disagree and find a way around it, because they really aren’t that compromising.
Both these star signs can be a little insecure, which makes them kind of defensive. Aquarius can miss a little bit of positivity in this zodiac match, because they can both be prone to times of the blues and feeling a little bit depressed. However, both of them respect each other’s privacy when they want space, which is beneficial.
Capricorn has to attempt to give leadership to the relationship and should not be afraid to step forward and make tough decisions as Aquarius likely admires Capricorn’s bravery. When it comes to Aquarius, they have to show that empathetic, nurturing side. Aquarius always has to work hard on making sure Capricorn feels seen and understood.
*Sometimes the relationship can lack a bit of variety and tends to be backward-looking. While they are both achievement-orientated star signs in terms of being either ambitious or aspirational, there can be long phases in their lives that are a little quiet and inward-looking. They both need to embrace a sense of adventure; otherwise, the relationship could feel a little bit lacklustre.
Final Verdict
I’m confident that this relationship will reveal a trove of hidden jewels, but it’s like a gold mine, the gold isn’t obvious, and it’s quite difficult to find those veins of gold in the rock, but they are definitely there. What we have in these two zodiac signs are people who are ambitious and aspirational; people who love challenges and aren’t easily deterred by difficulties. This is a big plus in the face of both relationship and life challenges.
They are likely to be stoic and also pragmatic. What’s great about both these star signs is that they have a fairly rational approach to things, they resist drama, and they don’t like to waste their time, which means they can be very constructive as a couple.
There may be an issue over whether they both want children, and this relationship can suit couples for whom work is important, or who get together later in life when children won’t really be possible. Children are definitely an option, not a necessity for these two.
This cosmic relationship has a great deal of sexual pleasure on tap, as Aquarius and Capricorn both enjoy sex, and they both like to explore and educate themselves in that realm.
This cosmic match has a 75% chance of being successful.
This relationship is even better when second decan Capricorn is with Aquarius, or when third decan Aquarius is with Capricorn.
Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
