Most Compatible Signs

1
Taurus: Capricorn and Taurus form a rock-solid relationship. Although the sparks won't fly as they would with a fire sign, this earth-earth couple is totally grounded. They've got a lot in common—they're both hard-working, have practical relationship expectations, and make plans for the future. This relationship has great long-term potential.
- This couple’s biggest strength: mutual interests, perspectives, and values.
- Challenges to watch out for: Capricorn tends to stick to their close circle of friends and Taurus also has a small social circle. These two should occasionally get out so they can enjoy the company of others.
2
Virgo: These two practical signs have a really supportive relationship. Capricorn won't have a hard time enlisting Virgo's help with their goals and dreams. Virgo loves being with someone who's logical and driven. It definitely helps that they're earth elements, meaning they're both looking for stability in a relationship.
- This couple’s biggest strength: similar outlook and motivation.
- Challenges to watch out for: although they thrive with routine, the relationship can become a bit boring. Capricorn and Virgo should make the effort to do fun, thrilling, and different activities together.

Scorpio: Capricorn and Scorpio form a sextile (an aspect that forms when 2 signs are 60° from each other on the zodiac wheel), so they have a fun, easy relationship. They have a similar sense of humor and need for space. While Scorpio tends to be a very private sign, they appreciate that it also takes time to get to know Capricorn. Both signs feel comfortable opening up to each other.
- This couple’s biggest strength: great communication and intimacy.
- Challenges to watch out for: since Scorpio is a fixed sign and Capricorn can be set in their ways, these two might be too stubborn at times. To overcome these obstacles, they need to learn how to compromise and see issues from each other's perspectives.
4
Pisces: A Capricorn-Pisces couple doesn't appear to have much in common, but they're a case of opposites that attract. Capricorn enjoys that Pisces is imaginative and creative while Pisces likes the stability that Capricorn offers. As a water sign, Pisces is sensual and intuitive, so they make Capricorn feel special and appreciated.
- This couple’s biggest strength: shared relationship values.
- Challenges to watch out for: Pisces isn't as ambitious or assertive as Capricorn which can lead to an imbalance in the relationship. Capricorn should appreciate Pisces' relaxed attitude, and Pisces should make decisions in the relationship, too.
5
Capricorn: Two Capricorns have a comfortable relationship. Both partners are practical and very protocol-driven. This is where dating a fellow Capricorn has an advantage—they won't be frustrated if the other person shows up late for a date or reveals too much personal information. Both Capricorns prefer to take things slow, but they have a solid foundation to build a relationship on.
- This couple’s biggest strength: shared values and similar communication styles.
- Challenges to watch out for: these two are such hard workers that they sometimes forget to make time for themselves. They should also work on trusting the other person instead of trying to do everything themselves.

Cancer: These opposing signs are really attracted to each other. Cancer is a water sign, so they're driven by the heart, not the mind like Capricorn.

They may be startled to find that Capricorn needs their own space.

Aries: A Capricorn-Aries relationship takes a lot of work. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, so they're hard-working and diligent.

In general, these two may struggle to find commonalities. Capricorn is reserved and loyal. Aries is courageous and self-centered.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: conflicting personalities.

Least Compatible Signs

1
Gemini: These two have such different viewpoints that their relationship takes work. As an air sign, Gemini has a laid-back, go-with-the-flow mentality. This can rub Capricorn the wrong way. Capricorn respects rules and order, so they may feel alarmed at Gemini's breezy point of view. To make this relationship work, Gemini could offer the ideas while Capricorn provides the structure to get things done.
- This couple’s biggest challenge: clashing values.
- Positive aspects of this match: if these two value their differences, Gemini will enjoy Capricorn's stability. Capricorn can appreciate how Gemini helps them relax and enjoy life.
2
Leo: These two are both intelligent and confident, but their personalities clash. Capricorn is more reserved than bold, outgoing Leo. They see Leo as being too generous or even reckless at times. Leo probably thinks Capricorn is too frugal or cautious. These differences can cause arguments. However, if the two appreciate their differences, they're very loyal signs.^{[2]
