When Aries and Capricorn come together in a love match,
they must work hard to maintain their mutual energy. Their approaches
can seem almost opposite to one another -- Aries is all about acting
without bothering to consider where the action is directed or what it
will attain, while Capricorn is all about judging whether (or how much)
it will benefit them before they take action. Aries moves fast and, to
Capricorn, at least, seems to risk it all. Capricorn abhors unnecessary
risk. They move at a slower pace, working inexhaustibly toward
well-defined goals (usually related to career or other forms of public
advancement). Both partners always get where they're going, only in
different ways -- and usually where they're going is totally
different,
too!
Capricorn is generally rather quiet and unassuming while
Aries is much louder and more flashy. They're both very stubborn and
think their way is best, so in order to work together, they have to
agree to disagree. Their philosophies are very different: Aries looks
for the shortcut while Capricorn wants to follow the rules, assuming
they're a tried-and-true path to success. How does this manifest
itself
in a romantic relationship? Aries is all about impetuous, passionate
pursuit of the one they want, without stopping to think whether the one
they've chosen is really the right one for them. Capricorn, on the
other hand, likes to analyze how much a potential love partner will be
able to help them advance in life, and will use that as the basis of
their decision of whether or not to pursue the relationship. If these
two can meet and get together, however, they can teach one another
things they wouldn't learn on their own.
Aries is ruled by the
Planet Mars (Passion) and Capricorn is ruled by the Planet Saturn
(Karma). These Planets often work against one another, just as Aries
and
Capricorn have to struggle to find common ground. These two can
definitely help one another, however, especially on a project: Saturn
has strong powers of perseverance, but Mars has the energy and drive it
takes to get things done. These two Signs might make a better duo in
the
workplace than in the bedroom! Both partners tend to be resolute and
neither gives up easily; if their energies are not channeled in
positive
ways, together these Planets may inflict cruelty, even violence on one
another, or cause one another to repress their emotions. Aries must
take
care not to work against Capricorn, who, in turn, must try not to
dampen
Aries's fiery spirit.
Aries is a Fire Sign and Capricorn is an
Earth Sign. While Aries is dynamic, Capricorn is more grounded and
practical. Capricorn's approach is to ask themselves, 'What good will
this do as I work toward my main plan in life?' while Aries simply
sees
what is desirable at the moment and goes after it with no set plan in
mind.
Aries and Capricorn are both Cardinal Signs. Both partners
are initiators, but they have such widely varying goals and interests
that they work better when they each have a particular, well-defined
role. Aries is the leader on the surface -- they rush out to get things
going and knock down any barriers in the way. But Capricorn is
indirectly in charge: They're always working steadily toward their
goals. It's important for both partners to understand that compromise
is their key to success.
What's the best aspect of the
Aries-Capricorn relationship? They each bring unique qualities to their
union. Once they can learn to allow each other to be themselves they
can
blend well to make a whole. Theirs is a challenging relationship, but
if
they can learn from each other it's worth it! As with any relationship
based in mutual love and respect, most obstacles can be overcome with
sound communication and goodwill.
