I want to know what love is, I want you to show me.
Now this is definitely a case of opposites attract! It’s an unlikely astrology match, as there are many areas in which they are so very different. These are next-door neighbours in terms of the zodiac, but when it comes to compatibility, they are actually miles apart.
In Sagittarius, we have a mutable fire sign ruled by Jupiter. Jupiter, along with the fire emphasis, means Sagittarius is an optimistic, gung-ho, risk-taking, adventurous zodiac sign. Sagittarius thinks of the future, they aim for the stars, and they are a star sign who are in perpetual motion.
Obviously, being a mutable sign, Sagittarius are very comfortable with change and are versatile. They are seekers of knowledge, and they want to make the most of their life. That’s actually where they have something in common with Capricorn. Capricorns are ambitious, and they strongly believe that life has meaning and that one must never waste a day and one should always be busy, but that’s kind of where the similarity ends. In Capricorn, we have a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn. The earth and Saturn mean that Capricorns are much more serious, risk-averse, and they want to set down roots. They are far more pragmatic, even possibly pessimistic, about life.
Sagittarius likes to fly by the seat of their pants. They are more whimsical and enjoy taking one day at a time. Capricorn likes to have everything planned, they love their diaries, scheduling, and they succeed in life because they are strategic and know where they’re going. They don’t like to leave anything open to chance and they plan for contingencies.
Being an earth sign, Capricorn’s love languages are more about sensuality, gifting, and physical sensations, whereas the Sagittarian love language is more about spontaneity, seizing the day, humour, and communication.
So, will these two zodiac signs be successful in a relationship? Well, they’re good complements to each other, and they bring a lot to each other’s world. They’re both capable of appreciating and learning from each other, but will the differences drive each other mad? It’s possible — and that’s why this match only gets a 60% chance of success.
Romantic Compatibility
As their love languages and values in life are very different, this can hamper romance. If these star signs do come together, it will be because fate steers them in each other’s direction and because they are able to give each other some sense of security. They can actually be fairly nurturing towards each other and can provide greater self-confidence and self-worth, and that’s where this cosmic relationship is quite strong.
However, it takes a while to get to that stage. They operate in different social circles, so it’s not likely they’re going to really hook up. Even if they are online dating or at a club, their immediate personalities or online profiles won’t necessarily pique each other’s interest. So, this star sign match really does need a little bit of a nudge from fate to get the whole thing going.
In terms of romance, Sagittarius does like an honest broker: a definite character, someone who’s prepared to take the lead and create romantic momentum. That’s where Capricorn is perfect. Capricorns are romantic, proactive people, being a cardinal earth sign, so they can appeal to Sagittarius by putting themselves out there with sincerity in the romantic arena and Sagittarius will respond to that.
What Capricorn are looking for in love is a down-to-earth character who’s sociable, easy-going, fun to be around, and who makes them feel comfortable. Capricorn tends to want a lot of earthiness in love, someone who has sex appeal and is very physically attractive.
What Sagittarius can do to pique Capricorn’s interest in love is be warm, friendly, laid-back, and positive. That is where Sagittarius will slowly draw Capricorn to them, because Capricorn is looking to have a bit of an adventure in love. They like being with people who are jovial and have a sense of humour and Sagittarius certainly delivers on that score.
Sagittarians are a warm star sign.who are immediately responsive to Capricorn, and that helps Capricorn get over some of the dating nerves which may hold them back.
Sexual Compatibility between Capricorn Sagittarius
Oddly enough, there is a great deal of affectionate responsiveness that helps the sexual compatibility between these two zodiac signs reach, potentially, a fever pitch.
Capricorns have confidence in bed, they like to lead in the sexual department. They want to express themselves and can be fairly hot, even pioneering, when it comes to sex. This is helpful because Sagittarius, when it comes to sex, actually lacks confidence. They need a strong character who will nurture them and make them feel protected, because their most vulnerable emotions get exposed in the sexual arena. That’s why sex is an awkward thing for Sagittarius.
Capricorn has a way of making the whole sexual arena safe, so Sagittarius thinks, “Wow, I can really begin to open up and reveal myself during the sexual experience.”
In terms of sexuality, Capricorn likes someone who is bold, fiery, and has a lot of passion in their belly, so they do like the Sagittarian energy. Sagittarius has get-up-and-go, they’re fairly positive and Capricorn enjoys that, and they also like it if Sagittarius sometimes takes the lead in love.
Sagittarius needs a bit of emotional protection and coaching out of their shell and Capricorn likes to take the lead and create that atmosphere which is conducive to Sagittarius letting go and opening up. Sexually, they can enter a love bubble, find escapism, and discover something quite raw and tender growing between them.
Friendship Between Capricorn and Sagittarius
Now, here’s where there can be a divergence. Capricorn is a slightly more serious character who values consistency, determination, and reliability in relationships. So, there’s a little bit of a problem because Sagittarius can be a law unto themselves.
Sagittarius think big, they’re thoughtful, but they don’t always think through what they’re saying. They often make promises in the heat of the moment without understanding whether they’ll be able to deliver. Sagittarius are sometimes not very punctual, and they don’t always remember exact details. This really annoys Capricorn.
Capricorn thinks, “Wait a minute, Sagittarius is letting me down. They don’t totally respect my feelings. They’re not paying close enough attention to the details of this relationship. I’m not sure how invested they are.”
Sagittarius, on the other hand, lives each day as a new day and they can’t understand why Capricorn is so uptight. They feel restricted when Capricorn has to plan things weeks in advance. They don’t like it when Capricorn is serious and melancholy. Sagittarius likes to be on the go all the time, while Capricorn craves times when they can think and brood a little.
The tempo and pace of their lives are very different. Their lifestyle choices can also differ, one being more adventurous and Capricorn being risk-averse. They really do need to have separate groups of friends that reflect their values so that they can have fun away from the relationship.
This pair shouldn’t try to live in each other’s pockets. In many ways, they won’t want to and it’s great for them to have that independence.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
This zodiac relationship is strong as they complement each other and because they are both go-getting star signs who believe that life is for living, and they value achievement. They both tend to set the bar high and expect a lot out of life and of other people, and they won’t let each other down.
They are both fairly honest brokers, although the way they approach honesty could actually be a little bit different. Capricorn is more diligent about the details, and therefore they are honest to a fault. Sagittarius are generally honest, but when it comes to details, they may muddy the waters or exaggerate a little bit.
Generally, they are two Sun signs that are pretty keen on fairness and justice. One thing that unites them is a strong sense of justice and fairness in the relationship. They’re both capable of saying sorry, making amends, and getting back to the drawing board to work out how they can improve their relationship.
A huge asset in this astrology match is the innate sense of justice they share, and because they both don’t like arguing and want to have a harmonious relationship, they will both work hard at compromising.
The difficulty in terms of marriage is that Sagittarius wants a much more communicative, light-hearted partner who can be quite playful and keep things peppy. Sometimes the Capricorn energy feels a little bit heavy. Capricorn really wants a much more emotionally intuitive, nurturing and understanding partner.
The problem both zodiac signs have is that Sagittarius and Capricorn tend to suppress their emotions and focus on external life rather than dealing with their emotional complexity. So together, they might both bottle up a lot of angst. They’re both seeking a partner who is going to understand them deeply, so that their true emotions can come to the fore. Maybe if they work hard at empathy, this can be a bridge that heals some of those issues.
Strengths and Challenges of the Relationship
The strength in this match is that these star signs complement each other because they are so different. They bring diverse abilities, skills, and coping mechanisms to the relationship, helping them both to be more rounded and complete characters. They operate very well as a team.
They’re both fairly assertive characters who make things happen and who never rest on their laurels or get complacent. They’re always looking for a new challenge, and that means this relationship is unlikely to become boring or pedestrian.
Sexually, there’s an awful lot going on, and they can develop a powerful sexual rhythm between them. They are both capable of giving the other a lot of what they want and need, which means this relationship can awaken a tiger within each. Sexual understanding is linked to emotions coming to the fore and emotional development, so although they are two zodiac signs who aren’t very emotionally aware, it’s possible they can achieve a great level of emotional comfort by being together because of the sexual element.
As for the challenges, one is risk-loving, and the other is risk-averse. Sagittarius likes to go with the flow; Capricorn likes to plan. Sagittarius likes to see the funny side of life; Capricorn thinks it’s necessary to take a walk on the dark side. Together, they have totally different values.
Sagittarius is more willing to live and let live and to take a few chances. Capricorn cannot stand risk, wants to be secure, and desires to set down roots. Sagittarius might just feel stifled and tied down, and Capricorn may feel they’re always being pushed out of their comfort zones.
Capricorn may feel they’re always picking up the pieces when Sagittarius lets them down. They will become dismayed at the times when Sagittarius raises their hopes and then fails to follow through. Things change so quickly with Sagittarius, they don’t keep track of what they’re really saying from one minute to the next and this upsets Capricorn.
Sagittarius doesn’t like to be judged or held to account, and Capricorn are quite hard taskmasters who are likely to be very critical and that can really dampen things between them.
Both these star signs may fail to nurture each other. They have to focus on empathy. They’re both signs who have a good sense of fairness and justice, and therefore there will be little grudge-bearing, game-playing, or point-scoring in this cosmic match, but emotionally, it can feel a little bit like a bleak landscape.
They both have to work harder at finding out about each other’s backgrounds, vulnerabilities, and issues, and then work hard to help each other feel seen.
Final Verdict
I’m not quite sure these two are going to give each other a chance. It’s unlikely they’re going to be in the same social circles, and it’ll take a twist of fate to bring them into each other’s orbit for a relationship to develop.
However, once they do get into a relationship, there are many sexual delights which will lead to emotional depth developing. They may even find that, although they are very, very different, they are twin flames — people who were meant to meet in this lifetime in order to develop their personalities and get a better grasp of who they are and who they can be.
It’s potentially a very deep and transformative zodiac relationship. It all depends on whether both are willing to adjust and persevere. Sagittarius may lack patience in this match; Capricorn, although not lacking in patience, may throw in the towel early on.
If they stay together, there are many rewards to be had. I feel this star sign match could be slightly more successful when they are both a little bit older, or if the Sagittarius is older and the Capricorn is younger, because that could help balance things out a little bit.
This relationship is best when third-decan Capricorn are with Sagittarius, and when second-decan Sagittarius are with Capricorn. It also benefits if Sagittarius has an earth moon or ascendant, and if Capricorn has a fire moon or ascendant.
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.
