Aries and Capricorn Compatibility

The Aries woman and the Capricorn man are as different as night and day, and yet a relationship between them still has a real chance to take root. In fact, it's precisely their differences that fascinate them. As for how long the allure of the exotic will hold, only time will tell.

Love and Dating

An Aries woman and a Capricorn man don't pair off often, but when they do, you can be sure these two will move heaven and earth to stay together, because neither of them is in the habit of giving up without a fight. Their battle for love, though, will be fought against their own temperaments and habits, and unless each of them wins that battle with themselves, there's simply no idyll in store for Aries and Capricorn. She wants passion; he meets her with a calm so icy it burns. He wants understanding; she refuses to hear a word whenever things stray from her plan.

What's striking is how closely Capricorn fits the Aries woman's picture of the ideal man: strong, calm, and driven. The real question is whether she's ready to meet her ideal in the flesh. Because if you want to stand beside a strong man, you'll have to let him lead!

Sexual Compatibility

The Aries woman and the Capricorn man have different temperaments. Passion will never matter as much in his life as it does in hers. They like a different pace, different techniques, even a different setting. Still, none of that will stop Aries and Capricorn from finding common ground in the bedroom and teaching each other something new, as long as they want to be together.

Relationships and Family

Watch a Capricorn man and an Aries woman together from across the room, and you'll almost certainly take them for father and daughter, even if they're the same age or she's actually the older one! The impression comes from the way level-headed Capricorn likes to slip into a mentor's tone when he talks to his partner, while she talks back with all the heat of a schoolgirl. On the whole, though, they make a beautiful and remarkably harmonious couple: she's the dazzling diamond, and he's the solid setting worthy of her.

Life together for the emotional Aries woman and the persistent Capricorn man plays out like the fable of the tortoise and the hare: she's forever hurrying him along, and he just keeps moving at his own pace. If Aries can find some patience and let the man she chose be himself, she'll see that his strategy pays off and that, sooner or later, the Capricorn man gets where he's going. It's just that, unlike her, he doesn't bulldoze his way forward; he gets there in small, steady steps. Usually, though, the Aries woman loses faith in Capricorn before he has a chance to prove he was right. Or else he wears out from her constant shoves between the shoulder blades, which is her way, as his wife, of helping him reach his goals.

The compatibility horoscope advises this couple to arm themselves with patience. Listen to what your partner thinks: this is a person in their own right, with their own life experience. If you learn to make decisions together instead of weighing only what you want, your marriage will be the envy of everyone you know!

A Capricorn woman and an Aries man play out a tale of chivalry: a knight and his devotion to a fair lady. Aries dreads boundaries and restrictions, but once he's captured by her enchanting eyes, he realizes that this time there's no running from responsibility. You don't fool around with a woman like this. It may well be the Capricorn woman who finally gets him to take the serious step.

Love and Dating

The Capricorn woman and the Aries man probably won't be very taken with each other when they first meet. Aries notices flashier, brassier women, and Capricorn prefers a calmer partner. But if these two get the chance to know each other better, he discovers she's exactly the woman he needs for the long haul. She cools his fits of fury, and he never has to compete with her. The Capricorn woman will do everything in her power to help her beloved Aries reach the main goal of his life: satisfying his ambitions.

Sexual Compatibility

Capricorn is an Earth sign and Aries is a Fire sign, and in bed a Capricorn woman and an Aries man are well matched. Aries often needs approval: tell him he's a real giant, and he'll prove it on a regular basis! And the Capricorn woman knows exactly how to inspire him. Still, she's sometimes so afraid of upsetting her partner that she keeps quiet when something doesn't satisfy her. Don't fake pleasure or put on a show of wild passion; that road leads nowhere. Learn to talk about these things from the very start of the relationship.

Relationships and Family

If your new Aries coworker has a Capricorn girlfriend, the whole office will know it immediately! For one thing, he won't miss the chance to bring her to work and introduce her to everyone. And don't think she's too nosy or trying to keep tabs on her husband. The Capricorn woman is simply the most trusted confidante in every matter for her fiery Aries man, who sometimes makes decisions on the spur of the moment. For all his independence and ambition, he feels a little unsure of himself without her. But you'll be glad to meet her, too, because the Capricorn woman is sure to bring her husband's colleagues a delicious pie made from her own special recipe!

Living together, the Capricorn woman and the Aries man can build a solid family unit: she feathers the nest, and he keeps it stocked with whatever he brings home from the hunt. As long as he holds up his end, she lets him stay in the spotlight. Couples like this often want lots of children, and they're very good at making them.

Problems can start if the Capricorn woman begins to abuse the Aries man's patience. She should remember not to push Aries too hard or too bluntly: the only way to steer him is with affection. Once they find that compromise, these two become a nearly ideal couple. Together, these two ambitious signs can climb to tremendous heights in their careers, their finances and their standard of living. And most important of all, in how much happiness and love they share.
