Aquarius and Capricorn Compatibility

Aquarius Astral Profiles and Compatibilities

Aquarius is famous for its contradictory and apparently distant personality. Although this native prides itself on its independent spirit, it can be extremely stable in its relationships. Aquarius lives to excel and never turns its back on a good challenge, so it's not uncommon to see it succeed in relationships with seemingly incompatible signs.

Of all the signs of the Zodiac, Aquarius is most compatible with Libra, Sagittarius and Gemini. These signs appreciate the Aquarius character and don't make big emotional demands. Aquarius gets on beautifully with Libra, and balances Sagittarius and Gemini. Aquarius can develop a more conflicted relationship with the natives of Cancer, Virgo and Pisces. The personality differences between any of these signs and Aquarius are evident. Even if they find common points of interest, their relationship will hardly be peaceful and harmonious.

According to Astrology, the signs of the Zodiac that share the same energetic charge, the Primordial Element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water), energize each other, while signs of different Elements may have greater difficulty in relating to each other. Fire follows the motto “it is better to travel with hope than to arrive”; Earth prefers “arrival”; Air works “as a function of intellect and logic”; Water follows "the ebb and flow of the tide of feelings". Together, the four Elements represent opposites but also the complementarity of astrological archetypes.

Compatibility of Aquarius and Capricorn

Aquarius is an Air sign, ruled by Saturn and Uranus (as co-ruling planet), and is constantly looking for new and interesting connections with various people. Capricorn is an Earth sign, ruled by Saturn, that does not rely on luck but on hard work and the strength of persistence.

If Capricorn were less conventional, the Aquarius connection would be a good combination for a light adventure. Capricorn is an Earth Element sign, solid, static and welcoming and therefore does not feel a special connection with the Aquarius, an Air sign personality. Aquarius is agile, dynamic and independent and is attracted to novelty and everything that is unexplored. Capricorn, for whom duty, responsibility, order and traditions are important, can get bored with Aquarius, who does not share any of these qualities.

For the Aquarius and Capricorn relationship to work, it takes a lot of understanding and a lot of tolerance. Otherwise, differences between them can prevent the relationship from moving towards a more serious one. If Capricorn wants to maintain Aquarius' love and interest, it will have to give it freedom and independence. If not, Aquarius will eventually feel trapped and fade. For its part, Aquarius can delight Capricorn if it brings some adventure and imagination to the relationship. Still, with caution as Capricorn needs to live in a peaceful and safe environment. This sign likes to be surprised, but in the right measure. Deep down, they can never feel that circumstances have changed significantly or that they have no control over the situation.

If they overcome these difficulties, the relationship between Aquarius and Capricorn can be extremely enriching for both, as they are both rational, appreciate the freedom of spirit and are firm in the goals they set for themselves or for the project of life together.

Capricorn is tremendously jealous of Aquarius because they cannot control it, and this gives them a tremendous feeling of insecurity. In love, they get along wonderfully, enjoying each moment with the greatest satisfaction. These signs are very sensual and, at the beginning of the relationship, they can be together for hours on end. Although neither of them is given to fatal passions, they are signs that express a deep and intense love, which brings them a lot of emotional serenity.

How the Signs of Air and Earth Relate to Each Other

Ari considers Earth too serious, and Earth is irritated by Air's frivolity, but this could be the rock Air needs. The Earth and Air Elements have traits in common: both search incessantly for the truths of life in the outer and objective world, where everything needs a reason for being. However, despite their apparent similarities, these Elements function differently: while Earth seeks safety and dependence, Air seeks experience and freedom.

Also in the affective field, these Elements are different: Earth tends to become more involved in the world of emotions and when she decides to commit to a relationship, it always thinks about building a future based on the real world. This Element is satisfied with the palpable and is well attuned to the body's senses and desires. Air, on the other hand, does not live off physical sensations and demonstrations of love, tending to move away from emotional matters.

These Elements can blend in well if Air allows its effervescence and spontaneity to be controlled by Earth's reality and security. However, this need for security, if transformed into possessiveness and jealousy on Earth's part, can lead to the separation of these two Elements.

The Air Element and the Astral Personality

Air signs are, above all, mental and intellectual. Air is a master at relating concepts. The Air Element brings together the Wet characteristic that conveys a great mental flexibility, this flexibility in thinking about things and reflecting. They are all-encompassing personalities with a broad vision, unlike Earth Element people who tend to focus on the detail.

In relationships, the Air personality is sensitive and seductive and emphasizes intelligence. For natives of this Element, the best companions are those of the Earth sign. These teach them the means to realize their ideas which, without their help, would remain purely abstract.

The Earth Element and the Astral Personality

The Earth Element personality is patient and persevering and has a very particular relationship to time. Unlike the Fire Element, Earth needs to settle down, to take root, basing the development of all aspects of your life there.

The temperament of this Element is Melancholic, not exuberant in its expression, but very concrete in its actions. Its focus of attention is objective reality, which gives it a lot of solidity and security. You tend to deal better with facts than ideas. It is generally resourceful and a good investigator.

In emotional terms it is not very demonstrative and, like a Choleric, it is rigid in its sensitivity. However, the Cold quality makes them quite susceptible, tending towards sadness, pessimism and, when emotionally unbalanced, depression.

Astrology and Compatibility Between Zodiac Signs

Affinities in relationships manifest themselves in a variety of ways and Astrology can give some clues about how the signs interact with each other. Astrology tells us that the greatest compatibilities arise when two people belong to the same astrological element, as they share the same vision of reality and have a similar way of being and living.

Likewise, the attraction between two opposite signs can be instantaneous and the relationship tends to be harmonious. However, this does not mean that there are no affinities between people belonging to signs of different elements. Where there is love, affection and understanding, life happens. How the relationship evolves depends on many factors, astrological profiles being just one of them.

Zodiac Signs Compatibility

This is a result of the astrological profiles of the signs that you chose based on the analysis of the compatibility between temperaments, energies and characteristics. This analysis is based on general data, being valid for all types of relationships, whether love, friendship or work.

A detailed and personalized study is only possible through a synastry report. Although the profiles of the signs allow us to deduce whether they are more or less compatible with each other, only through the birth chart is it possible to make a realistic interpretation and draw true conclusions.

Remember that relationships are influenced by multiple variables, astrological being just one of them. The force of will, commitment and free choice condition the way in which relationships can or cannot progress in a favourable way. Any relationship, regardless of the influence of the stars, can work as long as there is a desire for it to happen, on both sides.
