Initially you may be drawn to your Capricorns reserved exterior - this is likely to be a contrary and intriguing partner to explore once you glimpse the fun personality hiding below that cool exterior. Like yourself they often come across as aloof, and first impressions can be deceptive.

Over time however, there's a high likelihood that you'll come to find this partner very disciplined, and indirectly controlling or smothering, which won't sit well with your independent nature.

Your Capricorn is likely to thrive on plans, goals and rules, with an unyielding mental discipline to follow them, no matter what. While you also have a healthy respect for direction you're far less hung up on individual rules and plans used to get there. If you have a plan, you tweak and change it based on feedback and results, and enjoy the freedom to do so. This partner doesn't.

Your Capricorn is also likely to embrace rules as a cornerstone of stability and direction in both life and relationships, often holding fast to a plan or commitment like a security blanket. This is a partner who likes to know that you'll be doing 14 hours of overtime for the next 12 weeks in order to take a vacation. That type of dogged premeditation is often a major turn off for an Aquarian.

In short, you tend to be unconventional, and often unpredictable, whereas this is a partner who likes routine and plans which don't change during implementation. This also leads to the next area of potential conflict: This is a very hard working, down to earth and highly practical partner, who overall you're likely to find somewhat materialistic, serious and predictable or boring.

Another notable area in an Aquarius Capricorn relationship where you each view life differently is the way you each fit into society. This partner typically cares deeply about their public image - whereas you probably don't give yours much thought, beyond personal entertainment value.

Similarly, Aquarians typically look to the current or future, and are interested in the cutting edge, while your Capricorn is often far more interested in the past and tradition.

Commitment may be an issue in this combination. Your partner likes it early in a relationship, while you're more likely to be comfortable with a more casual arrangement, at least until your partner has become a very close friend.

You both can be very stubborn, though in totally different areas, making reconciliation difficult. You both take career and work seriously, though for very different reasons. Your Capricorn is largely building future security and status. If you don't mind being grounded this can of course be a very valuable quality in a long term partner.

The final obstacle in an Aquarius Capricorn combination is that there's a good chance you will each be focused on aspects of life outside of the relationship. To a degree you each tend to ignore a relationship in the absence of a partner who encourages you to focus on it.  

Aquarius Capricorn sex

You both prefer fun sex to the heavy or overly romantic, and as such this union is typically both exiting and adventurous, and likely to be one of the best aspects of the relationship. Your partner may prefer a slightly more sensual or passionate approach to love making than you do, while you may find them somewhat closed minded when it comes to trying new things.

So is this article conclusive?

No! This article is based only on sun sign interaction. In order to provide a lot of people with information it's a convenient and fast way to generalize, but it's far from conclusive at this broad level.

To get a complete picture we need to take all the other planets and their interactions into account. If you would like more information for your unique relationship please see the astrology compatibility reports page.

Other resources

Often the hardest questions to ask are the most important - for example, what are their views and expectations for raising children? sharing housework? saving money? career goals? etc.

One subtle and fun way to approach this is by working through a couples question book together - that way it's not really you asking, and delicate subjects can be covered easily. The best book for this I've found is Michael Webb's 1000 Questions For Couples

For reviews of this and other relationship ebooks on subjects ranging from improving your sex life to getting an ex back please see the relationship ebook reviews page.

A third method of further research is to share experiences with other couples of this same sign combination - you may be amazed how consistent they often are. Please see the links below for visitor experiences and questions.

In any relationship there are also very significant external factors. One of these is how well you understand yourself, your partner and your partnership - the more you do, the easier it is to make the relationship more exciting, fulfilling and satisfying for both of you, regardless of your starting position. The articles on how to Make him fall in love with you and Make her fall in love with you have information on how you can use astrology to revitalize a relationship.
