The Gemini/Capricorn combination can work fairly well, but there are some big differences to be overcome. Gemini, an air sign, loves collecting, analyzing, and discussing ideas for their own sake; the other responsibilities of life will have to take a second place. Capricorn, an earth sign, also has a strong intellect, but the most important thing in life to her is concrete, practical achievement and taking on responsibility. The Gemini woman needs the freedom to experience new things and explore new ideas. The Capricorn woman is happiest when she has serious, responsible work to do. She can enjoy speculations on the philosophical meaning of life, but she also wants to bring these ideas down to earth and find some practical use for them.
Both women can be adept at categorizing and organizing information. They both enjoy finding the basic structure underlying things. For this reason, they can relate well together in spite of their differences. The Gemini will appreciate the clarity and organizing power of her Capricorn's mind. The Capricorn woman admires the ability of her Gemini partner to analyze and categorize things. This appeals to the Capricorn's orderly mind. These two women, then, will do best when they are relating to each other on an intellectual level.
In emotional matters there may be more to work out. The Gemini woman wants a light touch when it comes to a relationship; she needs a lot of stimulation and hates to feel hemmed in by demands and obligations. The Capricorn woman needs steady constant support from her partner, and needs security and wants to be able to count on her partner to be there. To the Gemini woman, the Capricorn may seem too serious and demanding. And to the Capricorn woman, the Gemini may seem too nonchalant and undependable. If this relationship is to work, both will need to make concessions.
If the Capricorn woman can learn to play and loosen up, and if the Gemini woman can learn to be more consistent and take more responsibility, this relationship has some chance of success. The Gemini can become grounded by her partner and the Capricorn can open up her mind to new experiences. Sexually, these two women may need some work, as the Capricorn must have a sense of stability to feel loved.
