Capricorn Compatibility

Score Capricorn with any sign

Capricorn is filled in. Pick the other Sun sign for its score, or switch to two birth dates and we look up the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars for both of you and score those. No birth time and no account needed.

Birth-date positions are calculated from NASA JPL data. Read about the data and precision. The historical date tables below use a separate PyEphem calculation.

Who is Capricorn most compatible with?

Virgo and Taurus, the other two earth signs, are the signs Capricorn is most compatible with. Astrologers have grouped the three for a very long time: Ptolemy writes of 'the second triangle, which is the one drawn through Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn' (Tetrabiblos I.18). Pisces and Scorpio, the water signs two places away, come next, then another Capricorn and Cancer.

At the other end, Gemini and Leo tie for last, with Aries and Libra just above them. Those are the two ends of the Capricorn sign compatibility chart. The name changes with the question, though: Pisces comes first for friendship, and Taurus for marriage.

Capricorn's worst matches: Gemini and Leo, then Aries and Libra

Gemini and Leo share last place. Each sits five signs from Capricorn, with no element, modality or easy angle in common. Gemini's lowest area is love, and the usual trouble is how long to stay once the novelty fades. Leo's lowest are love and talk, and respect can stand in for closeness for a surprisingly long time.

Aries and Libra are the squares, three signs away in either direction, and they tie two points higher. Squares argue. They also carry heat: sex is the strongest area for both, and that's what lifts them off the bottom. With Aries the fight is usually whose rules apply. With Libra it starts when a polite yes gets taken for a promise.

Other lists order the bottom differently. On November 3, 2026, JobCannon named Libra, Aries and Leo as Capricorn's hardest matches, and marriage.com named Aries, Gemini, Sagittarius and Aquarius. Our chart gives a square credit for chemistry and reads the five-sign gap as the harder distance, which you can check against the four relationships behind each score.

Best match for a Capricorn, depending on what you want

Go by the area you care about most.

• If it's love you're after, Taurus and Virgo tie at the top, with Pisces and Scorpio level behind them.
• For sex the answer changes completely. Cancer, straight across the zodiac, has Capricorn's highest score, well clear of Taurus and Virgo.
• A Capricorn who wants someone easy to talk to should look at Pisces, with Virgo and Scorpio level behind it. Pisces leads for friendship as well, with Virgo and Scorpio tied right behind. That's the case for a Pisces who's your friend first.
• Marriage goes to Taurus, which has the top score on the chart for it, with Virgo close behind. Scorpio and Pisces follow.

Does Capricorn love one sign and marry another?

Mostly no: Taurus and Virgo lead for both, and Virgo, where ambition is the usual fight, has the top overall score too. The bottom of the list does change. Aries and Libra have Capricorn's lowest marriage scores, even though they finish above Gemini and Leo overall.

So who should a Capricorn not marry? On these scores, Aries first, then Libra, then Gemini. All three can be fun to date, and Scorpio's slow trust usually suits the long haul better. A Swedish study of marriage and divorce registers from 1968 to 2001 found no consistent Sun-sign pattern in who married whom or who split up (Helgertz and Scott, 2020).

Best match for a Capricorn woman or a Capricorn man

It's the same chart. A Capricorn woman and a Capricorn man get Virgo and Taurus first, with a partner of any gender, because the score reads Sun signs and nothing else. For how one person flirts and pursues, go to Venus and Mars. Look up a Venus sign from a birth date, and do the same for Mars.

A December Capricorn and a January Capricorn read from this list too. Their Mercury and Venus can differ, though, and two Capricorns born a month apart are the clearest case.

The middle of the chart: Cancer, Aquarius and Sagittarius

Cancer is sixth overall and first for sex. Talk and friendship lag well behind, so expect a lot of heat and some long evenings of not quite getting through to each other.

Aquarius is the air sign Capricorn gets along with best. In traditional astrology Saturn rules both, and friendship and marriage reach a good score while sex stays lowest. Plenty of these couples run into it over which family traditions to keep.

Sagittarius, next door, is Capricorn's best fire sign. The friendship is good and the marriage score is its lowest, and joint money is the usual test: how much can you afford to lose on a good idea? Another Capricorn sits above all three, fifth overall, and strongest as a friend.

Who a Capricorn can count on as a friend

Pisces tops the friendship scores, with Virgo and Scorpio level just behind and Taurus next. Capricorn friendships tend to be built on showing up: the ride to the airport, the spreadsheet for the group trip, the call back when they said they'd call. Aries is the lowest-scoring friend on the chart, with Leo and Libra just above.

In a family the Capricorn is often the one holding the plan for the holidays, and sometimes the plan for the parents' next ten years. Between relatives, astrologers look at how two Moon signs pair up as much as at Suns. A Big 3 reading from a birth time and place gives you the Moon and rising sign to start from. At work, agree on who owns the decision before the first meeting. Capricorn usually assumes it does, and so do most of the other cardinal signs.

  Capricorn and Libra

  42%

  Good in bed, and that's the only good score. Talk and marriage are the lowest areas, and the tie with Aries sits just above last place. Before anyone books anything, check whether that yes was really a yes.

  Capricorn and Sagittarius

  53%

  Capricorn's best fire sign, and better company than spouse material: friendship is the one good area, marriage the lowest. You're next-door neighbors in the zodiac, and money is where the two of you find out how different you are.

• earth · cardinal · December 22 – January 19

  Capricorn and Capricorn

  75%

  Easy friends, since neither needs the plan explained. Marriage is the lowest area, still good, because two people who start things bring two agendas. The goal itself is rarely the fight. Agreeing you've reached it is.
