Romantic Compatibility

Sagittarius & Capricorn

When Sagittarius and Capricorn join together in a love match, things may start slow and they may feel that they don't have much to gain from the other. In some ways, Sagittarius and Capricorn are opposites: Sagittarius is easy going, whimsical, seeks knowledge for its own sake, always jumps headfirst into new things, and is typically impatient. Capricorn is detail-oriented and passive, even shy, and is always looking toward the next project. Their differences can actually forge a stronger relationship in the long run, there being vast amounts each partner can learn from the other.

Early in the relationship, Sagittarius and Capricorn may not be able to see past one another's flaws. Sagittarius can at times seem unruly, and Capricorn may come across pompous and elitist. But once they stop focusing on one another's faults and look to their respective strengths, they'll see a vast pool of attractive qualities. Sagittarius can show Capricorn adventure and excitement, and can offer a glimpse of the freedom so often missing from Capricorn's life.

Capricorn teaches Sagittarius to pay attention to detail, uncovers the knowledge that the little things are important, and helps them to harness their random energy. Sagittarius may view Capricorn as too responsible, and will teach their partner to lighten up. Capricorn may accuse Sagittarius of being reckless and impulsive, and can help them to become well mannered.

Sagittarius is ruled by the Planet Jupiter and Capricorn follows the Planet Saturn. Jupiter is about higher learning, philosophy, expansion of knowledge and good luck that sometimes leads to excess. Saturn is the ruler of hard work, assiduousness, ambition and responsibility. Their affects on one another can be positive and tend to bring out each other's best aspects. Both Signs need to take a step back to appreciate their partner's approach; Sagittarius can teach Capricorn to be more spontaneous, while at the same time gaining stability from Capricorn's rational outlook.

Sagittarius is a Fire Sign, and Capricorn is an Earth Sign. Sagittarius initiates projects after philosophical evaluation, while Capricorn takes more practical, factual approach.

Although these partners may have difficulties arising from their diverse morals, when they put their differences aside they make an excellent couple due to their well-rounded, complementary natures.

Sagittarius is a Mutable Sign, and Capricorn is a Cardinal Sign. Sagittarius isn't necessarily a leader or motivating force; when they have a good idea and see a way to contribute, they enjoy doing their part. Capricorn, on the other hand, comes up with the ideas and assigns roles to others. Sagittarius and Capricorn can work toward the same goals with great success due to a lack of conflict over roles.
