Aquarius and Capricorn Relationship at a Glance

  1. These zodiac neighbors can make a great team by playing to their strengths. Aquarius is the thinker in the relationship, who comes up with ideas and dreams. Although Capricorn is a bit more traditional in their thinking, they've got the skills to get things done. Together, this relationship works because they combine vision with action to make their dreams come true.
    • Although Aquarius is a fixed sign, which means they’re set in their ways, Capricorn is a cardinal sign. This means they’re more flexible and empathetic which could work well with fixed-sign Aquarius.

Aquarius and Capricorn: Romantic Compatibility

  1. Aquarius prioritizes friendship while Capricorn looks for stability. Capricorn might be frustrated because they can’t tell if they’re in the friend zone or if they’re dating Aquarius. This is because Aquarius loves being surrounded by friends and they’re hesitant to commit to a relationship, so they tend to blur the line between friendship and a romantic relationship.
    • Compatibility tip: If a Capricorn really wants to make the relationship work, they should be casual and avoid pressuring Aquarius to follow rules in the relationship. Aquarius can be clear with Capricorn about how they feel. This might mean stepping out of their comfort zone, but Capricorn will appreciate knowing where they stand.

  1. They're both cautious about trusting new people, but they're both loyal. This might seem strange since Aquarius loves to be surrounded by friends, but they only deeply trust those nearest to them. Capricorn also takes time to depend on others, but they're also steadfast and loyal once they've accepted someone. The best thing Aquarius and Capricorn can do is to start the relationship as friends, so they gradually rely on one another.[1]
    • Compatibility tip: If both signs give each other plenty of time to become comfortable with one another, the relationship will become stronger.

Aquarius and Capricorn: Emotional Compatibility

  1. Aquarius and Capricorn aren't the most emotionally intuitive signs. Aquarius has a bit of a reputation for being reserved or standoffish. This is probably because they're more analytical—they're thinking rather than expressing. Capricorns are a bit more in touch with their feelings although they dislike feeling vulnerable. They try to keep their emotional side to themselves.
    • Compatibility Tip: These two can help each other. Even though Capricorn isn't a very intuitive sign, they encourage Aquarius to be more in touch with their feelings. Aquarius inspires Capricorn to be calm and objective—emotions are just another issue to think about, not be afraid of.
