Virgo and Capricorn in love
A stable couple, of actions more than words: they build and look after the material and the everyday. The risk is routine.
In friendship and work
In friendship and work, one starts and the other adjusts along the way: a good team for projects that change.
Why they get along this way
Element — Natural resonance. Both are Earth: they understand each other by instinct, share motivations and don't need to translate what they feel.
Rhythm. Virgo is mutable — adapta — and Capricorn is cardinal — inicia. Different rhythms: what one doesn't do, the other can.
Polarity. They share Yin polarity (inward, receptive energy): they go in the same direction.
Rulers. Virgo is ruled by Mercury (words and ideas); Capricorn, by Saturn (structure and time).
What each one brings
Virgo: attention to detail, analysis and organization.
Capricorn: discipline, ambition and responsibility.
Where they can clash
Virgo: perfectionism, high self-expectations and excessive criticism.
Capricorn: rigidity, pessimism and an obsession with control.
How to look after the bond
Don't take the harmony for granted: set yourselves challenges, because the risk of the trine is settling in.
