    Aquarius is the thinker in the relationship, who comes up with ideas and dreams. Although Capricorn is a bit more traditional in their thinking, they've got the skills to get things done. Together, this relationship works because they combine vision with action to make their dreams come true.
    • Although Aquarius is a fixed sign, which means they’re set in their ways, Capricorn is a cardinal sign. This means they’re more flexible and empathetic which could work well with fixed-sign Aquarius.

    Capricorn might be frustrated because they can’t tell if they’re in the friend zone or if they’re dating Aquarius. This is because Aquarius loves being surrounded by friends and they’re hesitant to commit to a relationship, so they tend to blur the line between friendship and a romantic relationship.
    • Compatibility tip: If a Capricorn really wants to make the relationship work, they should be casual and avoid pressuring Aquarius to follow rules in the relationship. Aquarius can be clear with Capricorn about how they feel. This might mean stepping out of their comfort zone, but Capricorn will appreciate knowing where they stand.

    Aquarius tends to be spontaneous in the bedroom—they’ll be the one to suggest a quickie before work. Capricorn, however, would rather take their time and have a completely sensual experience.
    • Compatibility tip: Their sex life can improve if Capricorn makes an effort to be a bit more surprising in the bedroom. They have to show Aquarius that they need them sexually. On the other hand, Aquarius should occasionally slow down and appreciate Capricorn’s sensual side.

    This might seem strange since Aquarius loves to be surrounded by friends, but they only deeply trust those nearest to them. Capricorn also takes time to depend on others, but they're also steadfast and loyal once they've accepted someone. The best thing Aquarius and Capricorn can do is to start the relationship as friends, so they gradually rely on one another. [1]
    • Compatibility tip: If both signs give each other plenty of time to become comfortable with one another, the relationship will become stronger.

    Aquarius has a bit of a reputation for being reserved or standoffish. This is probably because they're more analytical—they're thinking rather than expressing. Capricorns are a bit more in touch with their feelings although they dislike feeling vulnerable. They try to keep their emotional side to themselves.
    • Compatibility Tip: These two can help each other. Even though Capricorn isn't a very intuitive sign, they encourage Aquarius to be more in touch with their feelings. Aquarius inspires Capricorn to be calm and objective—emotions are just another issue to think about, not be afraid of.

    Aquarius is curious about Capricorn's straightforward way of expressing themself, and Capricorn is fascinated by Aquarius's way of seeing things, so they love to hear different points of view. It also helps that Capricorn is a problem solver. If issues pop up in the relationship, they want to talk about it before it becomes a problem. [2]
    • Compatibility tip: This couple shouldn't have a problem talking with each other, but it always helps to remember what they appreciate about the other.

    At first glance, these signs don't have much in common, but if they can appreciate each other's unique personalities, the relationship can thrive. Aquarius might value Capricorn's problem-solving abilities, especially if it helps them turn an idea into reality. Capricorn can appreciate Aquarius's altruistic and lighthearted nature.
    • Since they have different ways of expressing themselves, both sides have to take this into account. Aquarius should remember that Capricorn is a bit more traditional and action-oriented while Capricorn needs to understand that Aquarius is more free-thinking and driven by concepts.

    Capricorns are very into protocol and appreciate respectful people. For example, if you showed up an hour late to a date with a Capricorn, they'd be offended by your lack of protocol.

    Respect their space and boundaries! Aquarians don't like to get really personal and close right off the bat, and will appreciate you taking a more thoughtful, intellectual approach to the relationship.
