When Aries and Capricorn come together, they must work hard to
ensure that their strengths are geared toward the same purposes.
They are the tortoise and hare of the Zodiac; they are
inextricably linked but they don't always realize it. Aries is
out there in the world, moving fast, risking it all. Capricorn
dislikes risks and moves at a slower pace, but works
inexhaustibly toward well-defined goals. Both partners are sure
to get where they're going, only in different ways!
Capricorn is very unassuming and quiet, while Aries is more
flashy. Both partners are stubborn, so when they're on the same
team they need to have different and well-defined roles to ensure
that they don't cross each other's boundaries. Their philosophies
are very different: Aries is always looking for the shortcut,
while Capricorn would rather do things the hard way if it ensures
that the undertaking will be successful. But once the partners
understand each other's style, their different methods help them
to achieve together what they could not achieve alone.
Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Capricorn is ruled by the
Planet Saturn. These Planets often work at cross-purposes, so
it's important for Aries and Capricorn to acknowledge and
overcome their differences. Saturn perseveres and keeps moving
ahead through all kinds of difficulties; Mars has the energy to
take projects forward despite obstacles. Both partners tend to be
resolute and neither gives up easily. But if their energies are
not channeled in positive ways, together these Planets may
indicate cruelty, even violence, or they may signify repressed
emotion. Capricorn must be careful not to dampen Aries' spirit,
and Aries must not work at cross-purposes with Capricorn.
Aries is a Fire Sign and Capricorn is an Earth Sign. Aries is
dynamic, while Capricorn is more practical. Capricorn 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, without having a set plan in mind. Although
these partners may find it difficult to understand where the
other is coming from, when they work together they make an
excellent business team because of their complementary
approaches.
Aries and Capricorn are both Cardinal Signs. Both partners are
initiators, but they have such widely varying work styles that
they work better when they each have a particular, well-defined
role. On the surface, Aries is the leader, rushing out to
overcome any barrier, but Capricorn will also be indirectly in
charge because they are always working steadily toward their
goals. It's important for both partners to understand that
compromise is they key to success.
The best aspect of the Aries-Capricorn relationship is that they
each bring unique qualities to the relationship. Once they allow
each other to be themselves -- rather than raising an idealized
image -- 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!
