Capricorn Zodiac Compatibility
Cancer Opposites attract, and that saying is definitely true for Cancer and Capricorn. These sister signs (meaning they’re opposite of each other on the zodiac calendar) complement each other well: Cancer’s empathetic nature softens a Capricorn’s more logical side. And on the flip side, Capricorn’s earth element can help ground a Cancer’s more daydream-y water element. Both Cancer and Capricorn are cardinal signs, which means they don’t mind taking the lead or trying new things, and they’re always goal-oriented.
Pisces Pisces hates being bored, which is the main thing they have in common with the go-getting Capricorn. The emotional connection between a Pisces and a Capricorn is strong: the water-sign Pisces knows exactly how to support the Capricorn in their time of need, and the Capricorn provides the stability that the Pisces craves. They both shy away from drama, which makes their relationship very even-keeled and level-headed. Pisces is a mutable sign, meaning they can adapt well to any circumstance. It also means they can help guide the Capricorn through new experiences and adventures.
Virgo Earth signs are almost always compatible with each other, and a Virgo-Capricorn pairing is no exception. Both signs are logical, realistic, and goal-oriented. Virgo may busy themselves with details more, while Capricorn keeps their eyes set on the larger picture. Together, they can create a beautiful life full of fulfilling friendships and career moves. Virgo is another mutable sign that is very flexible. Since they are less rigid than the rule-abiding Capricorn, they can help their partner navigate the less straightforward parts of life.

Taurus Often described as the sensible and practical zodiac sign, Taurus is a great match for the logical Capricorn. These two have a lot in common, including their need for loyalty and comfort in a relationship. Their relationship will likely be solid and built on a foundation of trust. Taurus is a fixed sign, meaning they are persistent and reliable. It’s that reliability that the logical Capricorn loves about them.
Aquarius While it might not make much sense at first, an Aquarius-Capricorn relationship can be incredibly strong. Both signs are ruled by Saturn, meaning they share a love of knowledge and learning. And although the air sign Aquarius can sometimes get their head lost in the clouds, Capricorn appreciates the unique way they look at things. Aquarius is another fixed sign, meaning they are extremely dedicated partners.
Leo Charming, fiery Leo is the more sociable of the zodiac signs, which can break Capricorn out of their introvertedness. At the same time, the down-to-earth Capricorn provides goal-oriented thinking that can help Leo get a little more serious. Both signs support each other throughout all walks of life, and they’ll likely buy each other lots of little gifts to show their love. Leo is another fixed sign, meaning that their loyalty and predictability will be appreciated by the Capricorn.
What’s it like to date a Capricorn?
Capricorns hate drama. If you’re dating a Capricorn, you’ll realize very quickly that they don’t appreciate melodrama within their relationships. Since Capricorns are so logical and straightforward, dealing with dramatics can make them feel overwhelmed and stressed. The best thing you can do for your Capricorn partner is to talk things out logically and thoroughly before getting upset with them. For instance, maybe you’re annoyed that your Capricorn partner has been ignoring you lately. Instead of being passive-aggressive or avoiding the problem, approach them calmly and talk about your feelings.
They’re very goal-oriented, and may be workaholics. Yes, the rumors are true: a Capricorn's hard-working nature sometimes distracts them from their relationships. If you feel like you aren’t getting enough attention from your Capricorn partner, try setting up weekly date nights or asking them to put your hangout times in their schedule. Take turns planning dates so that you both feel like equals in the relationship.
Capricorns are natural leaders. For the most part, Capricorns are totally fine taking the lead in their romantic relationships. If you two are butting heads or you feel like you aren’t getting enough say in the relationship, make sure your voice is heard by reminding your partner that you two are equals.
They love to help people, especially their partners. If there’s something a Capricorn will never do, it’s leave you in a lurch. When you're dating a Capricorn, they’ll be the first ones to come pick you up when your car is dead or buy you soup when you’re sick. You can repay their kindness by taking care of them when they’re in need, too. Capricorns can sometimes be hesitant to ask for your help. If you notice your Capricorn partner struggling, approach them with something like, “I notice you’ve been really stressed lately. Is there anything I can do?”
Capricorns need support when they start to doubt themselves. Many Capricorns struggle with self-doubt or low self-esteem. As their partner, it’s crucial that you know how to lift them up and encourage them when they’re having a bad day. Remind them of all their accomplishments and don’t let them forget how great of a partner they are. You might say, “I know you’re not feeling great right now, and that’s okay. I just want you to remember that this one bad day doesn’t define you. Remember how well you’ve been doing at work, and how good your art project is going?”
Capricorns are more practical than romantic. Your Capricorn partner might not show up with a dozen roses or sweep you off your feet for a surprise picnic. What they will do, though, is show love through practicalities: they might pack you a lunch before work or buy you a new keyboard when yours is broken. Keep an eye out for the little things that show they care. Repay that kindness by doing practical things for them, too. Pick up a new pair of shoelaces when you notice theirs are fraying, or grab milk on the way home when you notice they’re out. It really is the small stuff!
Advice for Capricorns in Relationships
Open up to your partner emotionally. As a Capricorn, you’re likely to be on the serious side, and may have trouble opening up about your feelings. As you get to know your partner more, try letting them in little by little. Expressing your feelings and talking about your emotions will strengthen your intimate bond and help you and your partner grow even closer.
Be spontaneous now and then. We get it, Capricorn—you love your routine, and you like following the “rules” of dating. Try to break out of your routine every once in a while and do something wild with your partner: take a weekend away, ditch work and play hooky together, or even just try a new restaurant. Spontaneity keeps your relationship fresh and thriving.
Listen to your heart. Capricorns have great intuition, especially when it comes to romantic relationships. Don’t be afraid of moving too quickly or taking things too fast. If you think you’ve found the one, you’re probably right.
Don’t forget about non-romantic relationships. It can be easy to spend all your free time with your partner, especially when the relationship is new. Even though romance is exciting, make sure to spend time with your friends and family, too. They want to have a relationship with you as well!
