Capricorn Loving Aquarius

The Capricorn/Aquarius combination brings together two very different women who may need to compromise considerably to create a harmonious relationship. Capricorn, an earth sign, is concerned with secure structure and grounding; Aquarius, an air sign, needs the freedom to transcend mundane concerns, and sees life through a universal perspective. The Capricorn woman needs security and dependability in a relationship while the Aquarius woman needs the freedom to do whatever she pleases with no restrictions. The Capricorn woman will often tend to feel insecure with her Aquarian partner's unpredictable ways, and the Aquarian woman may rebel against the duties and expectations her Capricorn partner tries to impose on her.

In spite of these differences these women do have certain things in common. Both the Capricorn and Aquarius approach life from a more impersonal perspective. Both women are prone to involve themselves in larger social causes, and a meaningful career is important to both. Together they can be very effective in instigating social reform as both are very aware of the impact of social institutions on people's lives. Both women have the capacity to think abstractly and see the overall intellectual structure that governs life, and they will be able to share ideas with each other and find their mental interchanges productive. Each will respect the well-developed intellectual power of the other.

Although these two women may have a very good intellectual relationship they may have difficulty communicating deeper intimate feelings. Both women tend to approach life in a somewhat cool and detached manner, and neither woman is prone to wear her heart on her sleeve. This can be the basis of misunderstandings between them. The Capricorn woman, in particular, may feel her Aquarian partner is indifferent to her because the Aquarian tends to appear calm and detached in all situations. Both women have profound feelings beneath the surface but neither one knows how to communicate them easily and will often try to avoid doing so. Both are afraid of displaying strong emotion and want to appear outwardly in control. If these two women can overcome their emotional reserve and share with each other on a deeper level they will find they have a lot to offer each other: the Capricorn woman can offer her Aquarian partner a realistic structure within which the relationship can flourish, and the Aquarian woman can help her Capricorn partner to expand and lighten her approach to life, breaking out of the old molds that bind her and becoming more uninhibited.

Sexually, these two women may need to work at compatibility, as neither reveals her feelings and needs very easily. The Aquarian is more spontaneous sexually and wants to quickly switch from a serious endeavor into a romantic and playful connection, while her Capricorn partner may find difficulty releasing the seriousness and getting into the interchange of closeness. When the Aquarian learns to realize that her Capricorn partner does not move from one emotion to another easily and allows her time to adjust to this new proposal, all will work well. The Aquarian will add novelty and adventurousness to their sex lives.
