Capricorn and Aquarius Compatibility: The Sage and the Visionary

This romantic partnership is the unlikely pairing of possibly the zodiac’s most conventional sign with the most unconventional. Here, the wisdom and tried and tested approach of the mythological Sage goes head to head with the new, progressive, untried, experimental approach of the Visionary – and the result is a surprisingly promising love match. Capricorn and Aquarius compatibility is much stronger than you might think, and the secret lies in what each partner gains from the other.

Astro compatibility isn’t always about like meeting like. Many of us are attracted, consciously or not, to qualities which we know we ourselves lack. So it is with Capricorn and Aquarius compatibility. On the face of it, these two partners could hardly be more different. Capricorn loves to conform, plays the game and gets results by doing the expected thing. Aquarius cannot stand to conform, refuses to stick to the rules, and gets results by (very) alternative methods. You might think that they would horrify each other, but far from it – each partner is intrigued by the other’s way of approaching the world.

This is an earth/air mix, and how these two interact wonderfully illustrates the connections between earth signs and air signs. As an earth sign, Capricorn can become somewhat over-grounded, and stuck. Aquarian air comes along and stirs up the ground, giving Capricorn some lift, a boost, some wings. Meanwhile, Aquarius operates in the airy world of thoughts and ideas, but lacks the practical abilities to put those into action, and lacks the stability to make it all work. Capricorn earth comes along and helps to weigh down flighty Aquarius, just enough to help him or her grow some roots, and to give weight and purpose to those airy fairy notions. Simply put, Capricorn and Aquarius compatibility works because each partners offers just enough of what the other needs without taking away from or threatening the other person’s own strengths and identity.

In their own different ways, both of these signs are quite cool, emotionally. Capricorn, although a sensual earth sign, is ruled by restrictive, responsible Saturn, and largely avoids big displays of emotion. Aquarius, ruled by unpredictable Uranus, is notoriously aloof emotionally, and can sometimes find it hard to relate on an emotional level. Bring the two together, however, and that weird earth/air magic works again. The couple are forced to express their emotions to one another, and this helps make both of them more rounded and healthy individuals. For Capricorn and Aquarius, compatibility provides both with an emotional outlet they may otherwise have struggled to find.

There’s a lot of mutual respect in this partnership, and both signs are intelligent. Sage Capricorn is wise enough to understand that Aquarius needs and desires a certain amount of freedom, and will be careful not to suffocate him or her. Aquarius, on the other hand, is bright enough to realise how far out of his or her comfort zone the Sage can be pushed, and will quickly learn to bring light and new experiences without overdoing it. This innate compromise is one of the reasons for such strong Capricorn and Aquarius compatibility. It’s certainly surprising how well these partners can learn to compromise, but that’s what love does. Astro compatibility works well here because Aquarius, as a fixed sign, does understand Capricorn’s love of stability, despite the Aquarius partner being so unpredictable. Meanwhile, Capricorn, as a cardinal sign, does “get” the Aquarian need to innovate and move ahead, despite being rather conventional him or herself.

When you combine the wisdom and practicality of the Sage with the genius of the Visionary, you get an unbeatable combination for a friendship or a business partnership. When you add in the magic of romance, you also get an unlikely but really rather splendid love match too. Do you have a question about astrological relationships?
