Aries & Capricorn Compatibility

Capricorns and Aries bring a lot to the table that’s very similar, but they have a lot of balance in other ways that will make them compatible.

Both signs tend to have high levels of ambition. This is something that can be an asset as much as it can be a challenge. Similarly, both signs also tend to be extremely goal-driven, which is something that will work out well for the two of them.

Aries and Capricorn are both cardinal signs, so they’re always charging forward boldly. This is part of where each sign’s sense of ambition comes from.

Balance can be found in Aries’ youthfulness and Capricorn’s tendency to come off as more experienced. Their similarities will be enough to draw each other in, but differences like this will keep things interesting.

Aries tend to be very kind and warm individuals. Capricorns, who tend to focus more on the mind than emotions, aren’t known for this. These aspects will bring a balance to the relationship, no matter what the nature of it is.

Aries tend to be very competitive people in all types of relationships. Capricorns will likely indulge this most of the time, as it’s an indicator of Aries’ ambition. If they do indulge Aries’ competitive streak, each of them runs the risk of taking it too seriously. Aries will be glad that Capricorn can keep up, though.

Capricorns tend to be very strategic and judicious when they’re making decisions. Aries, almost on the opposite end of things, prefer to go with their immediate instinct and don’t always think things through. This is something that could be a challenge, but it can also prove to be enlightening to both of them. They have the potential to learn from each other.

Challenges may arise when it comes to having to compromise. Both signs can exhibit stubbornness in their own right. Aries famously will fight to the end if they think they’re right, and Capricorns are strong-willed and prefer doing things their way. Learning how to effectively communicate with each other will aid greatly in their relationship, no matter what the nature of it is.

Aries & Capricorn
Love & Intimacy Compatibility

Capricorns usually take a while to trust someone enough to make a commitment to them. Aries are the opposite, falling in love quite fast and easily. This is something that can cause some tension, as Aries will need to be patient while Capricorn decides whether or not it’s something they want.

Patience isn’t always Aries’ strong suit. Capricorn letting Aries know where they stand in the relationship consideration may make it easier for them to be still.

While they’re getting to know each other, Aries may be fascinated to learn of Capricorn’s different layers, especially as Capricorn begins to trust. Aries tend to be very open and honest, which Capricorn will feel good with. Neither one of them cares much for playing games in love, so they’re unlikely to try and do so.

When Capricorns make it to a serious relationship phase with someone, they tend to be very supportive and secure lovers. Often, they’ll display a warmth that wasn’t necessarily there when they were first starting out. This may be surprising to Aries, but it’s incredibly welcome all the same.

Aries in love need a lot of activities and stimulus to keep from getting bored. This may be a challenge to Capricorns, who sometimes want to settle down once they’ve gotten into a serious relationship. Capricorns do also tend to treat their relationships like goals, so they’ll do anything they can to keep things good. Capricorn just has to make sure they’re being true to themself and not just trying to appease Aries.

Both signs are very loyal in love. With Aries, this can come along with jealousy even when it comes to things that are innocuous. Capricorns likely won’t be too offended. If Capricorn shows Aries that they’re just as loyal, it’s unlikely there will be issues.

Once they get over the hurdle of trust, things will run more smoothly in a romantic sense.

Aries & Capricorn
Friendship Compatibility

Since both signs thrive on achieving their goals, they’re likely to become fast friends, especially if they meet somewhere they get to show off. Aries have a warm and radiant energy, and Capricorns may find themselves drawn to it.

Aries and Capricorns tend to have similar values. Their similarities and the ways in which they balance each other will make for a sturdy friendship foundation that’s likely to last a long time.

Both signs tend to be very loyal to their friends, especially when they’ve gotten close. Aries tend to also be very protective, which Capricorns may not be used to. Capricorns are really good at sensing manipulation, however, and will likely warn their friends if they think someone’s being manipulative.

Capricorns tend to be the mature one in their friend group, which will be a good balance for Aries. Aries’ impulsiveness can sometimes make them seem like they have some growing up that they need to do. Capricorns probably won’t enable anything that they find reckless, which may mean that there’s tension. Ultimately, though, Aries will be grateful for Capricorn’s reasonability and interest in their safety.

Once they’ve gotten close, Capricorns tend to be warmer with friends than when the friendship is starting out. Aries aren’t likely to be bothered by the initial hesitance in warmth or vulnerability. This is something that Capricorns will greatly appreciate as it will make them feel understood.

Aries and Capricorns will likely build their friendship pretty quickly, and have the potential to stay friends for a very long time.

Aries & Capricorn
Emotional Compatibility

Capricorns tend to approach matters with their minds before their emotions. Sometimes they can avoid feeling things, if they think that emotions are getting in the way of the goals they’re trying to achieve. This can be unhealthy, but they may be able to learn from Aries, who is a little more open without being intimidating.

In an almost completely opposite fashion, Aries has a tendency to wear their hearts on their sleeves. They can be seen as very intense people, and they usually have a lot of energy to back it up.

Capricorns typically have a lot of patience and won’t find Aries’ big emotions overwhelming or off-putting. However, there may be a challenge in the way Aries perceives Capricorn’s more subdued nature. If Aries thinks that Capricorn doesn’t have as much of an emotional investment in the relationship, Aries may take it as a slight.

Communication around emotions is going to be what averts any challenges that the duo finds between them. Having the willingness to learn from each other will also help them a lot.

During disagreements, Aries are known to become hot-headed–especially if they think they’re right. Capricorns can be stubborn, and they won’t be afraid to hold their own. This may turn into a battle of wills, and it will likely be hard for either of them to back down. Establishing a routine for compromise may be helpful.

Aries & Capricorn
Values Compatibility

Aries highly value competition in just about every area of their lives. Capricorns are very likely to be able to keep up with this.

Capricorns are known for being ambitious and carefully planning out the path toward future success. Being with Aries, who also shares that ambition, will likely make Capricorn feel understood. Between the two of them, all of their goals are likely to be met with flying colors.

Both signs, in their own way, have very strong senses of justice. This will really come in handy, especially if either of them has disagreements with authority figures.

Capricorns can sometimes have a pessimistic streak, though they might refer to it as being realistic. Aries usually have more optimism and bring warmth to any relationships they get into. This is something that’s going to be a really good balance, no matter what the nature of the relationship is.

Balance can also be found in the way that each of them approaches life in general. Capricorns tend to think long-term and exercise discipline to reach their goals. Aries are usually a little less patient, and enjoy the instant gratification that comes along with winning and being competitive. This is another learning opportunity, and it won’t necessarily cause a  clash.

Overall, there’s a strong sense of compatibility to be found in Aries’ and Capricorn’s values.

Aries & Capricorn
Activities Compatibility

Both Aries and Capricorns tend to be very goal-driven individuals. There are many activities that play to this strength, which means there’s a lot of potential for activities that they can share.

Team sports are probably the most obvious way of channeling their ambition while giving Aries something to happily compete for. They can also do individual sports or work on opposite teams, but having them work together toward a goal will be optimal for bonding together.

If one or both of them aren’t into physical activities, taking a class together can also play to both sets of strengths. Classes tend to be good because there’s obvious measured progress and goals to achieve, which will make their appetite for success shine. These sorts of activities may make Aries feel competitive against Capricorn, but Capricorn will likely take it in stride.

The way they each handle achievements will be interesting but not necessarily discordant. Aries really like everyone to know that they’re number one. Capricorns, on the other hand, prefer to be quiet about the things that they can do, and don’t need the limelight. So long as Aries knows that Capricorn is still invested in what they’re doing together, this won’t be an issue.

Overall, there’s a lot of potential for finding shared activities that both Capricorn and Aries will be interested in doing. Competitive ventures may be the most immediately obvious, but they can have a lot of fun together in other settings as well.

Aries & Capricorn
Communication Compatibility

Aries have the tendency of being very direct, especially with the things that they want. Capricorns will be glad to know that they won’t have to play games with Aries.

Capricorns tend to be very serious in all aspects of their lives which Aries doesn’t necessarily share. This may create challenges, because sometimes it may not seem like they’re on the same page. Trying to find common ground and being open to each other’s experiences will help this a lot.

Capricorns can exercise a lot of patience, which will be good for their overall communication for the most part. Aries don’t tend to have the same sense of patience, which Capricorns may find frustrating after a while. Aries would do well to watch this, and to try and learn from Capricorn.

Aries can come off as arrogant and hot-headed when they’re fighting for what they believe in. For the most part, they only fight for injustice, but the trouble comes when they won’t listen to anyone else’s opinions. Capricorns share a similar stubbornness, but it isn’t usually backed with the same fire as it is for Aries. This can make disagreements even more difficult, as Capricorns will feel completely grounded in their stubbornness.

Communication between Aries and Capricorns can sometimes be hit or miss. If they’re each willing to learn from each other and listen, most of the challenges between them can be averted. Having a system in place for when there are ego clashes between them will be very helpful.

Aries & Capricorn
Trust Compatibility

The way that each of them approaches commitment may make trust a bit of a challenge. Aries tend to fall very quickly for someone, and they’re not shy about expressing it. Capricorns are the opposite, however, and guard their hearts very carefully.

Aries are going to need to exercise patience, which unfortunately isn’t often their strong suit. Capricorns are good at being direct with people, though, so it may help Aries to be patient if Capricorn can be honest with them about where they stand. Capricorns can’t expect Aries to wait forever, and they may need to adjust accordingly.

Once they build that trust, they likely won’t have many issues. Capricorns can be very secure and hardworking in their love. Aries treat love with a fiery passion, so they’re likely to be able to keep each other sated.

Aries can sometimes have a jealous streak in romance, but Capricorns are likely to take it in stride. If there is ever a problem with this jealousy, Capricorn’s likely to be honest about how it makes them feel.

Overall, trust is something that won’t be an issue between them once the trust is actually built. Getting there may take a while, but it will be worth it.

Aries & Capricorn
Work Compatibility

Capricorns have an affinity for detail work and numbers, which is a skill that Aries also possess to a more limited degree. Capricorns are unmatched in the zodiac when it comes to a sense of discipline and the ability to strategize. Having Aries be capable at the task will make Capricorn less likely to take it all on themself.

Aries tend to be great leaders, and they shine in roles where they’re in charge. Capricorns are also great in leadership positions, but they work just as well in a team or independently.

Both signs are usually very success-driven. Capricorns will do anything to get to the top of their career, and Aries can be similar. For Aries, it’s more about securing a coveted leadership position, as this is where they’re most comfortable. For Capricorns, it’s less about leadership specifically and more about success.

With both of them being very goal-oriented, there may be a sense of competition present in the workplace. Aries especially will thrive in that environment, and Capricorn will happily engage with it too.

Both signs also tend to be very hardworking. For Aries, this is particularly so in a competitive environment or in one that’s suited to their passions. They will each easily make it to the top with their work ethic. Capricorns tend to carefully plan the path toward success and stick to it even if it’s very difficult.

This is a pairing that will work together very well and be successful in the workplace.

Competition between them will likely be encouraged, and they’ll be able to push each other to be the best that they can be. Balance will be found in the way that each sign approaches life, with Aries maintaining warmth in the relationship and Capricorn maintaining realism.

Challenges may arise in communication, but these clashes can just as easily become learning opportunities. If they can each remember that they’re more alike than different, they’ll have an easier time navigating disagreements. This is a duo that has the potential to get very far in life.
