Sagittarius and Capricorn

Sagittarius and Capricorn Compatibility

In theory Sagittarius Capricorn could be a good combination. Your energy harnessed by your Capricorns planning and methodical approach to life can make for a great team.

In practice though it can be a challenging relationship to make work on a day to day level, and the low scores represent the initial compatibility of this match.

If you can both adapt to the others style this is a relationship which will improve steadily over time, and eventually rival any other combination. The low scores then represent a high initial challenge, and not a long term pessimistic view.

This article is in two halves, the first is written from the viewpoint of the Sagittarius man or Sagittarius woman, and the second is written from the viewpoint of the Capricorn man or Capricorn woman.

From the Sagittarius viewpoint

This relationship illustrates the differences between stubborn and methodical determination (Capricorn) and unbridled enthusiasm (Sagittarius). While the two may sound similar, they're vastly different approaches to life.

You're carefree and impulsive, and enjoy taking the occasional risk to keep things exciting. Your Capricorn is the opposite, often rehearsing what they will say, analyzing performance and results and tweaking plans and timelines accordingly. In this respect you're sometimes going to annoy each other, a lot!

Potentially you could teach your partner how to live for the moment, while they could bring you down to earth, but in practice it will be very hard to do so.

At times you're likely to find this partner too practical or even boring, and they'll find you too irresponsible and reckless. You're an optimist while your partner is a pessimist. They'll call it practical, you'll call it dull.

With understanding and compromise this can make for a great combination, where you each fill out the others strengths and weakness 2+2=5 etc. It's not a relationship that will mesh very well without some work and tolerance on both sides however.

You like to go out and socialize, while your partner generally is a lot more reclusive and unsociable, possibly only associating with necessary work contacts and family.

This may sound trivial, but it can be a major point of friction in a Sagittarius Capricorn relationship - neither of you will bend very far if you decide your partner is being unreasonable.

Your partner is conservative and reserved, nearly always diplomatic and aware of their public image. You prefer a much more direct approach to communication, and while in private you may share a similar sense of humor, your partners won't carry over into social gatherings whereas yours will, perhaps giving you a jackal and hyde impression of them.

Regardless of the above you'll probably admire your partners inner strength and sense of purpose, however without compromise at times it may feel smothering rather than inspirational.

As with other areas, understanding each other may be required to really bring out your sexual chemistry. Unlike some other sign combinations this one is unlikely to have fireworks which "just happen" on their own.

Rifts in other areas of the relationship can also add to the work needed to perfect things sexually here.

It’s important to note however that we’re looking only at sun signs here. There are many other planets which can have an equal or greater effect on someones personality. Makes sense, as ultimately everyone is of course unique. Generalizing too far based just on sun signs can therefore be misleading.

To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results.

This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information – everything from how they view you, how to turn them on, how to avoid arguments etc. If you would like to explore this further please see the astrology compatibility reports page.

From the Capricorn viewpoint

Capricorn and Sagittarius Compatibility

Capricorn Sagittarius could be a good combination. Your planning coupled with your Sagittarians energy could make a great team. In reality though this is a hard combination to reconcile, which is often compounded by a lack of sexual chemistry until you understand each other better.

This relationship illustrates the differences between stubborn and methodical determination (you) and unbridled enthusiasm (your partner). While the two may sound similar and complimentary, they're vastly different approaches to life.

You're careful, cautious and methodical, while Sagittarius is often carefree and impulsive. They enjoy taking the occasional risk to keep things exciting. In this respect you're likely to confound and annoy each other a lot, each wondering how it's possible to live that way.

Potentially you could teach your partner how to be more responsible and practical, while they can teach you to live a little and let your hair down more often.

In practice this can be challenging, as you're just too different in your outlooks. You'll find them reckless and irresponsible, they'll find you stubborn or even boring. You can certainly meet in the middle, but it will require work on both sides.

You're a realist, whereas this partner is an optimist. Their blind faith in everything working out on it's own will offend your preference for planning and preparation. Sagittarius is notorious for jumping and then worrying about the landing on the way down (what may frustrate you even more in its own way is how they always land just fine!)

This is a partner who likes to go out and socialize, while you're generally happier at home, and likely to be seen as more reclusive and unsociable. There's likely to be arguments in a Capricorn Sagittarius relationship in this area, as neither of you will bend very far. It's likely you'll find your partner going out alone, and this together with their sometimes flirtatious nature will probably make you insecure in this relationship.

Your partner takes a very direct approach to communication, and while in private you may share a similar sense of humor, in public they may often make you cringe. This is the type of partner you might not be comfortable taking to work gatherings for fear of offending someone important, though in other situations it can be very entertaining and something you enjoy about them.

You'll probably admire your partners free spirit and enthusiasm for learning, however overall it will feel like a very inefficient and fruitless use of their endless enthusiasm. You value consistency, and eventually it might be tempting to give up trying to instill any in your wild-child partner.

As in other areas, the secret is to appreciate your partners strengths and quirks, and not expect to be able to change them. Would you really want them to be a mini-Capricorn?

Summary

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.
