Aries and Capricorn compatibility
The sprint and the long climb.
Aries: March 21 – April 19. Capricorn: December 22 – January 19.
Are Aries and Capricorn a good match?
Tradition calls it a hard match. Plenty of long loves are built on it, because neither of you gets to fall asleep.
I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.
What draws you together
You are both ambitious and both allergic to being told what to do, and there is real respect between you. Capricorn sees what Aries could build if it stayed, and Aries reminds Capricorn that a life is also meant to be enjoyed now.
The hard part
Aries wants it today, and Capricorn has a ten-year plan. Each of you expects to lead, and the arguments can sound like a dispute over who is running this household.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit three signs apart, a ninety-degree angle astrologers call a square. You move through the world the same way, but in elements that do not agree. Tradition names this friction, and friction is also how a fire gets lit.
Fire and earth want different things from a day. Fire wants to go and earth wants to have arrived. Fire can warm the ground or scorch it, and earth can hold a flame or smother it.
You are both starters. Each of you expects to set the direction, so the question in this house is who leads, and when.
What each of you is really asking
Aries is asking: Will you still want me when I stop running at you? Aries brings nerve and fears being slowed down until the fire goes out.
Capricorn is asking: Is it all right to set the weight down with you? Capricorn brings staying power and fears being a fool for trusting.
The desire under the question
Aries wants the serious one to take it seriously. Capricorn wants permission, from someone unafraid, to stop being the only grown-up.
