Oh, my love, my darling
I’ve hungered for your touch, a long lonely time
And time goes by, so slowly and time can do so much
Are you, still mine?
I need your love, I need your love.
When I think of this cosmic pair, I immediately think of romance, because they are both particularly creative and imaginative zodiac signs. When it comes to romance, they both have a tender-hearted, sensual side to their nature, and there is a high degree of artistic inspiration that both have as part of their personality.
Now, whatever their day-to-day lives, whether they encompass an ability to work in the worlds of art, music, or drama, or not, they will want to exhibit that flair for the aesthetic side of life through romance. Both of them have a powerful need for harmony, escapism, and understanding through beauty and via their love relationship. So, their love language is very much about enjoying the finer things in life and the beauty of life together.
In Capricorn, we have a cardinal Earth sign, and it’s rather different to Pisces, which is mutable Water, but there’s a great synergy between earth and water. Together, they are like a potter sitting at the wheel, gently crafting ceramics as the potter’s wheel spins, combining the water and the clay. That’s how this relationship is, it is a beautiful understanding between two sensitive souls, and something that requires patience to develop. This is not a whirlwind romance or a very fast-paced, action-led romance. It’s more of a relaxed understanding with a lot of empathy.
Pisces enjoys being with Capricorn because of the cardinal nature that gives Capricorn strength, resilience, and leadership, and because the Earth aspect is a very sensual attitude to beauty. Capricorn enjoys the watery intuition and understanding of Pisces because Capricorn often finds it hard to express emotions, yet Pisces seem tuned into their deeper layers of feelings.
However, will this relationship really last long-term? There are a couple of reasons why it may not be ideal for marriage, and that’s why it gets a 70% chance of success.
Romantic Compatibility
Both these star signs are romantic. They see their romantic life as a chance to live out their dreams, to savour some sweetness as an antidote to the struggles of life. These are both zodiac signs that are rather delicate in a way. They have a certain degree of resilience, in the case of Capricorn, and adaptability, in the case of Pisces, and yet life leaves its mark on both. They are both people who sometimes struggle with the harsh realities of life and the ups and downs.
That’s why, for them, romance is a retreat and it’s a sprinkle of magic, something where they can express all sides of their nature and achieve Nirvana.
Romance holds a special spiritual meaning to both of them, and their love language is being giving, consoling, and kind. Between these two star signs, kindness is a love language. Communication and sexuality are less of a love language.
Another trait that’s vital to both of them in romance is looking good. They both like to either wear special things or fragrances, or act in a way in which they can arouse the other. Body language and the way they mirror each other, or eye contact, is very important. Eyes are the windows to the soul is an apt description for these two in terms of romantic attraction.
Sexual Compatibility
One drawback of this relationship is they can both be a little bit passive and reticent when it comes to the sexual arena. What Capricorn really needs to get turned on is a partner who is confident, vibrant, quite positive, and who brings a certain pizzazz to the bedroom. Capricorn wants to be inspired, and they really do like a partner who is quite overt and takes control in the bedroom. Pisces is not necessarily that person; Pisces is more of a receptive, feminine energy, and Capricorn tends to get turned on by someone who’s slightly pushy and has a more aggressive, masculine energy when it comes to sex.
Pisces are similar in their sexual tastes as they also want a person to take the lead, or even dominate in the bedroom. Pisces also want a masculine energy, and Pisces do get a bit of that because Capricorn, as a cardinal star sign, does take the lead and direct things in the bedroom. Capricorn are fairly assertive, they seize control, Pisces like that, and then Pisces will adapt and add their magic.
For Pisces, sexually, it works quite well, but for Capricorn, Pisces may not be the best kind of personality to bring out their inner sexual animal, unless Pisces has a Leo rising or a Leo moon, in which case — bingo.
Friendship Factor between Pisces and Capricorn
The reason why these two zodiac signs make good friends is they’re comfortable with each other, and they are able to relax around each other.
It’s not necessarily one of these friendships where there’s a great deal of communication, or where they’re texting each other all night long, although that could happen once they get to know each other much better, it’s more of a friendship where they enjoy doing many of the activities that they both find fulfilling and rewarding. These activities may revolve around taking courses to educate themselves, visiting galleries, museums, going to movies etc. as they like to pursue mellow activities where they both get to escape and relax.
One of the reasons why their friendship can be very powerful is that they love to stimulate each other’s imagination. So they may quite enjoy discussing movies, or even going to things like book or theater clubs. They may even like gaming together. They will certainly aim to generate an interest that they can talk about and become engrossed in, because they both like to become emotionally involved in something. This propels the friendship forward.
They are also fairly diplomatic with each other. Pisces is quite charming, Capricorn is fairly reserved, so they won’t really tread on each other’s toes. The only thing that worries me is sometimes Capricorns are a little bit critical and can be slightly blunt when Pisces like a softer approach. The friendship can also suffer when both of them are feeling a bit offish. They can both be inclined to be cool and remote at times.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
These two star signs definitely have the potential to create a fulfilling long-term relationship. What really works well here is Capricorn tends to be the dominant partner, the one who is impressively more decisive, ambitious, and who charts the course for the relationship. Whereas Pisces is the partner who’s great at bringing inspiration, adding a little bit of faith, and using their emotional intelligence to show understanding to Capricorn, and to help them as a couple make better and wiser decisions.
They are that zodiac couple who kind of like the finer things in life and want to have a fairly sophisticated lifestyle with lots of travel and cultural activities. So they aspire to eat well, wine and dine, go to nice places, and they, as a couple, want to be proud of each other. So it really helps if both have a flair for dressing to impress, and they kind of do as Pisces brings a touch of glamour, and Capricorn a touch of sophistication. They do like to go to nice places, do glamorous things, and enjoy the finer things in life together as that’s really important.
Pisces love the strength within Capricorn. Capricorn takes leadership; they’re very protective. Pisces see this as a great partner to compensate for their more passive, slightly more vulnerable nature. Capricorns seem in control, and that appeals to Pisces.
Capricorns are often low on self-worth and self-love. They want someone who loves them unconditionally, and Pisces often delivers that. Capricorn also needs a very understanding partner who doesn’t need to interrogate them, but who can intuit their feelings, and Pisces are great at that.
There are so many elements in terms of their mystical communication and ability to complement each other that make this a great star sign match. Sometimes Capricorn wishes Pisces would be more assertive and ambitious; perhaps Pisces is a little bit too laid-back for Capricorn, and Capricorn may think Pisces are lazy. Pisces sometimes want Capricorn to be more quirky and communicative, and Pisces may think Capricorn is not verbal enough, because Pisces do like a partner who is very chatty.
Strengths and Challenges of the Relationship
There is strong communication on an intuitive and psychic level. Both zodiac signs are very compatible in terms of values and needs, and their innate characteristics gel rather well. There are rarely rough edges to this relationship as they are both fairly charming and kind to each other, as kindness and empathy are love languages.
Both these star signs are fairly artistic and have a need for a certain amount of glamour and creative excitement to stimulate them and provide escapism. They both value love as a way to escape the harshness of real life, and therefore romance can be an important vehicle for self expression, finding release, and escapism.
They complement each other because both have skills and abilities the other lacks. They will both admire and respect each other, and it’s a great relationship for power-sharing and compartmentalization because they don’t compete for control. They both have distinct areas where they are adept and can take ownership.
Sometimes they can both be a little bit moody and distant; they don’t necessarily always want to communicate and cooperate. There are times when they both have to just chill, do their own thing, and give each other space, and that should be possible. Capricorn has a lot of other interests, and Pisces is quite happy sometimes to just escape and be in their own headspace, enjoying their fantasies.
Pisces may sometimes feel Capricorn is a little bit rude and abrupt, and Capricorn may feel Pisces are evasive and opaque. When Pisces is quiet and elusive, Capricorn can feel very insecure, and they may suffer a lack of trust. The problem is when Pisces feel Capricorn is being very controlling, they will become very vague as a form of self-defense, and this can be quite upsetting for Capricorn. When they get defensive, they can both resort to behaviors that are likely to damage trust.
Capricorn may not appreciate the side of Pisces’ nature that is evasive and unpredictable. They may sometimes find Pisces unreliable or too opaque. Capricorn might accuse Pisces of being irresponsible or even lazy, and they don’t often grasp Pisces’ approach to life, which is more about feeling their way along rather than planning. Pisces have a sense of adventure and they may sometimes feel Capricorn is too rigid, too set in their ways, and too critical. They might think Capricorn is a hard taskmaster who never stops thinking about work, and Pisces can feel annoyed and neglected because Capricorn can be too serious and a workaholic.
Final Verdict
This star sign relationship has a 70% success rate. However, one of the keys to success is for both of them to remember why they fell in love in the first place. Sometimes, once the routine of life gets going, when they have children or are in a stable relationship, they kind of forget the magic of romance and escapism.
This cosmic couple needs to remember the beauty of art, poetry, and music, and the aesthetic side of life which drew them together. For the relationship to remain strong, they always need to have avenues of escapism, as otherwise life can get too serious. There are aspects of each other’s personality that can occasionally grate, so they need that uniting, bonding feeling of escaping into a world of beauty and imagination.
This zodiac match is powerful because they are contrasting characters, and they will have different areas of life where they can take control, be in charge and fully express themselves.
They benefit from each other’s different talents, Pisces being more intuitive and emotionally understanding, Capricorn more pragmatic and stoic. Capricorn gives leadership, Capricorn is stoic, Pisces is resilient and has greater levels of emotional understanding and empathy.
They tend to be kind to each other, and both will be fairly compromising and tolerant, which helps the relationship.
Sexually, things could be improved with perseverance. In terms of communication; that may be an area where Pisces feels something is lacking. So it’s kind of important for Pisces to have more communicative friends or family members who can regale them with quirky anecdotes and humor. Both of these zodiac signs actually do have a sense of humor, Pisces have a quirky, witty sense of humor, Capricorn can be quite dry, and they can both be rather sardonic.
This is a relationship that has many beautiful aspects; they just have to remember to make allowances for each other’s crabby moods, which they can get into now and again.
This zodiac match is even better when third decan Capricorn is with Pisces, or when second decan Pisces 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.
