When Sagittarius and Capricorn join together in a love match, things may start
slow and they may feel that they don't have much to gain from the other. In some
ways, Sagittarius and Capricorn are opposites: Sagittarius is easy going,
whimsical, seeks knowledge for its own sake, always jumps headfirst into new
things, and is typically impatient. Capricorn is detail-oriented and passive,
even shy, and is always looking toward the next project. Their differences can
actually forge a stronger relationship in the long run, there being vast amounts
each partner can learn from the other.
Sagittarius can cultivate tolerance and thus be able to get along with many
different types of people. Sagittarius can get the power of positive thinking to
work overtime. To do so, Sagittarius must clarify ideals and pursue life with a
spirit of adventure.
Sagittarius and Capricorn are quite temperamentally opposed. Easygoing
Sagittarius is light-hearted, loves adventure and will bounce boldly into
anything new and exciting. Conservative Capricorn is more interested in the
long-term outcome, being a strange mixture of ambition and insecurity, with a
need to prove things to themselves (and to the world).
Essentially, Capricorn is cautious, steadfast and reserved. Even as a child,
Capricorn's personality was probably mature for the years. With any luck
Capricorn's life will get better and responsibilities will become more enjoyable
over time. Capricorn can only fail by giving up. Never, never, never, never,
never give up. Capricorn, you were made for management and leadership.
Capricorn's ambitions are only limited by your self-esteem. Planning and work
will pay off. Be sure to ask for a fair price for your efforts.
Since this is a relationship of opposites, the intense sexual attraction between
you will wash over the differences, but when the intensity begins to fade, you
may focus on what you each imagine to be the other's flaws. You might perceive
earth-bound Capricorn to be a bit of a stick-in-the-mud (except between the
sheets); though Sagittarius’s spendthrift soul will certainly appreciate the
Goat's grounded understanding of and access to wealth. Nevertheless, you can
awaken in your Goaty lover the desire for some adventure and excitement, while
Capricorn can encourage you Sagittarius to harness your energy, pay more
attention to details and understand the social niceties that grease the wheels
of human contact. Perhaps you, on the other hand, can teach this serious
creature to lighten up a little.
Sagittarius is ruled by the Planet Jupiter and Capricorn follows the Planet
Saturn. Jupiter is about higher learning, philosophy, expansion of knowledge and
good luck that sometimes leads to excess. Saturn is the ruler of hard work,
assiduousness, ambition and responsibility. Their affects on one another can be
positive and tend to bring out each other's best aspects. Both Signs need to
take a step back to appreciate their partner's approach; Sagittarius can teach
Capricorn to be more spontaneous, while at the same time gaining stability from
Capricorn's rational outlook.
However, Capricorn's demands are not easily satisfied by your flighty,
light-hearted approach to love Sagittarius . In the art of lovemaking, Capricorn
is enthusiastic and adventurous when aroused, but can be possessive and jealous
when threatened. A light-hearted, flirty Archer can sometimes be overwhelmed by
the intensity of the Sea-Goat's passion, coming as it does from beneath such an
apparently cool exterior. Your approaches are totally different. Capricorn wants
to climb to the top of the mountain, while Sagittarius wants to fly over the
top.
Early in the relationship, Sagittarius and Capricorn may not be able to see past
one another's flaws. Sagittarius can at times seem unruly, and Capricorn may
come across pompous and elitist. But once they stop focusing on one another's
faults and look to their respective strengths, they'll see a vast pool of
attractive qualities. Sagittarius can show Capricorn adventure and excitement,
and can offer a glimpse of the freedom so often missing from Capricorn's life.
Capricorn teaches Sagittarius to pay attention to detail, uncovers the knowledge
that the little things are important, and helps them to harness their random
energy. Sagittarius may view Capricorn as too responsible, and will teach their
partner to lighten up. Capricorn may accuse Sagittarius of being reckless and
impulsive, and can help them to become well mannered.
Sagittarius, a Fire Sign, is ruled by expansive, outgoing Jupiter, while
Capricorn, an Earth Sign, is governed by restrictive, structured Saturn.
Sagittarius will jump into a new project on the strength of a good feeling, a
philosophical assessment, while Capricorn wants to know the practical ins and
outs of everything. Capricorn always worries about the consequences, but
Sagittarius loves to get into things for the sake of your own personal
satisfaction.
Sagittarius, a Mutable Sign, is not much of a leader (though you'll happily play
your part). Capricorn, a Cardinal Sign, is quite creative and will originate
good ideas and organise the best way to get the plan into action. This can help
the relationship, so long as each other's roles are well defined.
However, Sagittarius’s frank outspoken nature is likely to upset Capricorn's
conservative sensibilities. Capricorn is restrictive; a loner, famous for a
somewhat dour outlook, while Sagittarius is venturesome, sociable and expansive.
Capricorn is cautious with money and concerned with appearances - and
Sagittarius cares for neither of these. It's a difficult match.
