Capricorn and Aquarius in love
In love, Air brings ideas and lightness and Earth brings calm and presence. It works when Air follows through on what it says and Earth opens up to the new.
In friendship and work
In friendship and work they divide things up well: one opens the way and the other sustains it to the end.
Why they get along this way
Element — Ideas and facts. Air thinks in possibilities and Earth in what can be sustained. Air gives Earth perspective and Earth gives shape to Air's ideas — or they lose patience with each other.
Rhythm. Capricorn is cardinal — inicia — and Aquarius is fixed — sostiene. Different rhythms: what one doesn't do, the other can.
Polarity. Capricorn is Yin and Aquarius is Yang: one goes outward and the other inward, and that balances them or pulls them apart.
Rulers. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn (structure and time); Aquarius, by Uranus and Saturn (freedom and change; structure and time).
What each one brings
Capricorn: discipline, ambition and responsibility.
Aquarius: innovation, originality and humanitarianism.
Where they can clash
Capricorn: rigidity, pessimism and an obsession with control.
Aquarius: emotional detachment, rebelliousness and unpredictability.
How to look after the bond
Give yourselves time to get to know each other: what seems incompatible at first is often exactly what the other has to teach.
