Capricorn and Capricorn Compatibility

Two Capricorn people share an element, a modality and the same blind spots: each of them builds with the next ten years in mind and waits for the other one to hit the brakes. There is a lot going for this one: the foundation is solid and the differences that remain are manageable if they get said out loud in time.

What works

The best thing about this pairing is that nobody has to explain themselves: both bring structure, a word that holds and an extremely long patience, and they recognise each other within five minutes. Two earth elements build on rock: what they promise, they deliver, and what they start is still standing years later.

Whatever the conjunction does elsewhere, the romantic bond is what holds this pairing together, at 78 points. When it is going well, you can tell because neither of them is performing a more convenient version of themselves. Both are yin signs: the rhythm points inward, with a rich emotional life and very little of it on display.

What is hard

The mirror problem: Capricorn puts work ahead of the relationship and calls that responsibility. With two Capricorn in the same house, nobody plays the responsible adult. It is the same sign twice: everything good is doubled, and so is everything difficult.

The area that asks for most attention is communication, at 79 points: not a problem, just the first place wear and tear shows up. Capricorn needs respect, results and not having its time wasted; Capricorn needs respect, results and not having its time wasted. Neither request is unreasonable, but they collide when nobody says them out loud.

As a couple

In love this pairing scores 78 out of 100. Capricorn loves in deeds: it does not promise, it does. Capricorn loves in deeds: it does not promise, it does.

Both live the relationship at a similar intensity, which is half the battle: neither has to ask the other to feel more, or to turn the volume down. With this element combination, day-to-day life is usually easier than the reputation of the pairing suggests.

At work and as friends

As a working team the pairing scores 81 out of 100. Capricorn is the one still there after everyone else’s enthusiasm ran out. Capricorn is the one still there after everyone else’s enthusiasm ran out.

Both are cardinal, so both want to start things and steer: the problem is never a lack of initiative, it is deciding who gives up the wheel. As friends it gets easier: the pairing scores 78 there, and friendship is usually the ground where these two signs forgive each other things they would not forgive as a couple.

Communication and trust

Communication scores 79 and trust 85. Capricorn says little, and the little it says carries weight. Capricorn says little, and the little it says carries weight.

Both need a similar amount of space, so absences do not get misread. Saturn and Saturn rule this pairing, and that is the filter each of them interprets the other through.

The advice

If there is one thing to take away: there is a lot going for this one: the foundation is solid and the differences that remain are manageable if they get said out loud in time.

Capricorn: drop a gear, and remember that Capricorn needs respect, results and not having its time wasted. And the other Capricorn: somebody has to be the one who gives in first, and in this pairing that role has to be taken in turns, deliberately. The overall score (80) describes the starting point, not the ending. Sun-sign astrology is a map of the terrain; what gets done with it is decided by two specific people, not by two archetypes.
