Capricorn and Pisces compatibility: love, friendship, work

• Dialogue

  Strength Capricorn brings clarity, Pisces nuance; their exchanges gain depth.

  Watch point Pisces avoids difficult subjects, and Capricorn can lose patience with their vagueness.

• Emotions

  Strength Pisces helps Capricorn recognize emotions that duty often keeps at a distance.

  Watch point Capricorn can downplay Pisces’s sensitivity, and Pisces then feels misunderstood and withdraws.

• Attraction

  Strength The reassuring solidity of one and the fluid tenderness of the other make up a deep attraction built on trust.

  Watch point If Capricorn is too distant, Pisces may look elsewhere for the tenderness they miss.

• Values

  Strength Loyalty and the concern to protect loved ones unite these two signs, each with their own means.

  Watch point Capricorn values concrete success, Pisces compassion and dreams; their priorities diverge.

• Everyday rhythm

  Strength Capricorn organizes, Pisces brings poetry: the home is both functional and gentle.

  Watch point Pisces’s forgetfulness and disorder, misplaced keys or missed appointments, can irritate a Capricorn attached to organization.

• The long term

  Strength Over the seasons, Capricorn softens and Pisces gains footing, each taking on a little of the other’s pace.

  Watch point The imbalance between the one who organizes and the one who follows can wear down the bond if it is not discussed.

Two people of the same sign can have an opposite Moon, Venus, or rising sign, and therefore very different needs. To truly compare two temperaments, astrology compares two whole charts, planet by planet: this is synastry. Your birth chart already shows your share of the picture.

The dignities add a nuance: Jupiter, who ruled Pisces before Neptune, would be in fall in Capricorn, as if limitless generosity met measure and prudence there. Venus, conversely, would be exalted in Pisces. A mythological link also joins the two signs: according to Hyginus, Pan and Aphrodite both fled the monster Typhon by throwing themselves into the water, one becoming a goat-fish, the other turning into a fish along with Eros.
