Capricorn and Aquarius Compatibility in Love and Relationships

Capricorn and Aquarius in love can talk for hours yet see the world from opposite sides. A middle road exists, but only on purpose. Falling in love is slow here, and the head comes before the heart.

What draws them together

They respect each other first and fall in love later. Capricorn notices that Aquarius has an opinion on everything and can defend it, Aquarius notices that when Capricorn gives their word, it holds. Both share Saturn as their traditional ruler and take life more seriously than anyone expects: Capricorn their work, Aquarius their principles. They often meet in a team or on a course, and ten minutes over coffee turns into two hours. Capricorn asks how Aquarius's idea would actually work, and Aquarius has never before met anyone who asks properly.

Love and intimacy

The attraction is cool rather than fiery: a look across a table, a joke only the two of them get, a hand that rests a moment longer one evening. Capricorn is reserved and needs time to relax; Aquarius wants it playful and a little different from last time. If Capricorn allows a little mess and Aquarius doesn't quiz them on why they've gone quiet, a closeness grows that is more friendly than stormy. The body joins in after the conversation, not before. It holds, though.

Everyday life and home

Capricorn's diary is full six months ahead; on a Thursday at six Aquarius decides to go to a lecture on polar expeditions. On Sunday Capricorn has lunch laid for two and Aquarius turns up with three people met on the way. Housing is a sore spot: Capricorn would buy a flat and pay it off, Aquarius would rather rent and keep their hands free. Years on, they see less of each other than most couples and listen more carefully when they do.

Where it rubs and how to ease it

A conversation ends brilliantly and nothing is decided: Aquarius wants to look at a third option, Capricorn wants a conclusion and a note of it. Then Aquarius accuses Capricorn of being stuck in the past, and Capricorn accuses Aquarius of putting everything off. The real friction runs through money and time: Capricorn saves for old age, Aquarius invests in friends and ideas. A monthly sit-down over the money works well, with one part for security, one for a folly, and both accepting what was agreed. Each defends a principle with a calm that annoys the other even more.

Capricorn man and Aquarius woman

A Capricorn man is prouder of an Aquarius woman than he lets on: she will ask the boss a question he has avoided for years. Before he says yes to anything, though, he works out what it would cost. He should admit that he would sometimes like to be bolder, and she should read his caution as the other half of the plan, not a lack of nerve.

Capricorn woman and Aquarius man

A Capricorn woman values that an Aquarius man never underestimates her ambition and isn't surprised that she wants to lead. He, in turn, wants projects of his own, from volunteering to an idea that will never earn a penny. They avoid rows when she stops converting his time into money and he texts to say he'll be late for dinner.

Keeping it alive

• Announce guests at least a day ahead, so Capricorn can look forward to them instead of fretting.
• Keep one evening a week free of plans and projects: just food, a film and no list.
• Now and then let a discussion end undecided when nothing is on fire.
