Capricorn and Pisces compatibility
The one who built the wall, and the one who dissolves walls.
Capricorn: December 22 – January 19. Pisces: February 19 – March 20.
Are Capricorn and Pisces a good match?
Tradition calls it a good match, with one warning: it is so pleasant that the real conversation can wait for years.
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
This is a quietly beautiful pairing. Capricorn gives Pisces's dreaming a place to stand, and Pisces finds the tired person inside Capricorn who had given up expecting to be seen. Each of you softens or steadies the other.
The hard part
Capricorn wants things plain and scheduled, and Pisces does not live on a schedule. Capricorn can become a manager, and Pisces can become someone who needs managing.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit two signs apart, a sixty-degree angle astrologers call a sextile. The tradition counts this as friendly: your elements feed each other without either having to become the other. The door is open, but it asks to be walked through.
Earth holds water. One of you gives the other a shore, and the other keeps the ground from going dry. It is one of the most naturally tender combinations there is.
One of you sets the course and the other finds the way around what is in it. This works when the one who adapts is also asked what they want.
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.
Pisces is asking: If I dissolve into this, will you hold the shape of me? Pisces brings tenderness without conditions and fears being too much, and then too little.
The desire under the question
Capricorn wants to be held without having to ask. Pisces wants to be useful as well as loved. Each of you could tell the other that.
