The fiery, free-spirited archer and the earthy, driven sea-goat make a bit of an odd couple—the oddest part being how they ever met in the first place. They have so little in common, it's super rare for them to even cross paths! But when they do, don't be surprised if sparks fly. Read on to see what the stars predict will happen when a Sagittarius man and a Capricorn woman come together.

This article is based on an interview with our astrologer and performance artist, Angel Eyedealism. Check out the full interview here.

A Sagittarius man and a Capricorn woman have moderate compatibility. These two definitely have what it takes to go the distance. The problem is that they have so little in common it's really rare for them to cross paths. And, if they do, they're pretty unlikely to see anything of interest in each other. But if they do catch each other's attention, they'll find that despite their differences they complement each other magically.
- Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and Capricorn is ruled by Saturn. These two planets usually have a positive effect on each other—these two signs can really be their best selves when they're together!
- As a cardinal sign, a Capricorn lady is happy to take charge of practical matters. This works well for the mutable Sagittarius man, who doesn't like it when he's saddled with too much responsibility. ^{[1]

Sexual Compatibility

Sagittarius and Capricorn tend to move at a different paces in bed. Sagittarius guys love to get wild and experimental in the sack, but a Capricorn lady tends to prefer a slow, sensual encounter. This might seem like a bit of a mismatch at first, but as long as they freely communicate their needs and desires, they'll both be satisfied.
- Sagittarius, make sure your Capricorn lady knows how much you respect her and she's more likely to be interested in getting sexy with you.
- Capricorn, be willing to let loose a little in bed. Talk to your archer about your interests and your limits, then don't be afraid to try new things and spice it up !

Romantic Compatibility

A Sagittarius guy usually isn't mellow enough for a Capricorn lady. These two can have a hard time hitting it off romantically because they just don't feel love the same way or enjoy doing the same things. Her ideal romantic evening would be spent cuddled up together eating takeout and watching a movie on TV, while he would rather be out on the town or headed off on a romantic getaway.
- Sagittarius, a cozy night in from time to time will make your Capricorn lady feel loved and respected. If you're itching to travel, maybe book a quiet, secluded couples resort so she can have more of the quiet time she craves.
- Capricorn, make an effort to go out on adventures with your Sagittarius guy from time to time. He knows you'd rather be cuddled up at home, but he'll appreciate the sacrifices you make for him.

Emotional Compatibility

A Sagittarius man and a Capricorn woman build a strong emotional bond. Sea-goats tend to be pretty introverted, so it might take her some time to open up to her archer. But once she does, the two of them will find that they're able to really harmonize on an emotional level. They're both so supportive of each other that they tend to balance each other out.
- Sagittarius, provide encouragement to your Capricorn lady and she'll open up more and start to take things a little less seriously. She won't worry as much if she knows you're always there to support her.
- Capricorn, don't be afraid to lean on your Sagittarius guy when you're having a hard time. He'll always be there to listen and support you emotionally.

Communication Compatibility

Sea-goats and archers both communicate clearly and directly. Both signs value honesty and know they can count on each other to always be truthful. Neither sign is very secretive, either, which makes it a lot easier for them to trust each other. Both are happy supporting each other even though they might be pursuing different goals.
- Sagittarius, remember to be tactful and kind when making critical comments to your Capricorn woman. While it's great that you're honest, your words can easily hurt her if you don't put things delicately. ^{[2]

- Capricorn, don't forget that listening is a huge part of communication! Be an active listener to show support for your Sagittarius guy, even if his ideas seem a little off the wall or you're worried that he's being too risky.

Shared Values

A Capricorn woman and a Sagittarius guy share a commitment to truth and justice. Because they both value truth, they're always going to be honest with each other. Neither believes in playing games, and they both take relationships and commitment very seriously. That's something that can see them through even the toughest times together.
- Sagittarius, be open about what you do when you go out on your own and who you spend your time with. Your Capricorn woman can get jealous, but if you're open about everything you do she'll know she can trust you.
- Capricorn, remember that you can always talk things out with your Sagittarius guy. Any time you've got something on your mind, talk to him about it directly rather than burying it deep down and letting it fester.

Potential Challenges

A Sagittarius guy and a Capricorn woman have near opposite personalities. There are almost always going to be difficulties when a fire sign like Sagittarius gets together with an earth sign like Capricorn, and these two are no exception. The sea-goat prefers things to be organized and routine, while the archer has a more free-spirited nature. He might see her as too rigid, while she could see him as too volatile and prone to take unnecessary risks. Lots of communication is important if these two want to get on the same page—and stay there.
- Sagittarius, get comfortable going off on your own. Your Capricorn lady would usually prefer to stick close to home, but she'll be waiting to hear all about your latest adventure.
- Capricorn, trust your archer enough to give him space. He needs his freedom, and if he feels like you're trying to fence him in, he could bolt.
