Are Capricorn and Aquarius a good match?
It is rarely the easy match, and often the educating one. It holds when each of you stops treating the other as a correction.
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 sit side by side, and the old astrology gave both signs Saturn. You are both serious, both reserved and both willing to do things your own way. Respect here comes first, and tenderness follows it.
The hard part
Capricorn wants to know the rules, and Aquarius wants to rewrite them. Neither of you finds feelings easy to speak. You can each conclude that the other does not have any.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit side by side on the wheel, with no element and no way of moving in common. Older astrology calls this a thirty-degree relationship and says little good about it. In practice, each neighbor holds what the other has just left behind or has not yet reached.
Air and earth speak different languages. One of you lives in what could be, the other in what is, and you each hold a piece the other cannot get alone.
One of you starts things and the other keeps them. That is a working partnership, as long as neither mistakes it for a contest of wills.
What each of you is really asking
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.
Aquarius is asking: Can I belong to you and still belong to myself? Aquarius brings honest strangeness and fears being absorbed.
The desire under the question
Each of you wants to be respected. Ask whether either of you has risked being loved, which is a different thing.
