Compatibility
Sagittarius and Capricorn
Sagittarius is halfway up the mountain for the view. Capricorn is halfway up the same mountain for the summit.
Together
Neighbors on the wheel, and neighbors usually notice each other's lawn. Capricorn looks at Sagittarius and sees talent spilled on the floor. Sagittarius looks at Capricorn and sees a person who has scheduled their own spontaneity for the third weekend of June. Both are a little right, and both are a little fascinated.
Fire next to earth, a mutable sign next to a cardinal one. One wants the horizon. The other wants a foundation under it.
Love
Capricorn courts slowly and expects the deal to hold. Sagittarius loves fast and wants it renewed every morning like a newspaper. When it works, Sagittarius teaches the goat to laugh at the top of the mountain, and Capricorn teaches the archer that a promise kept is also a kind of freedom. When it fails, it is a cheerful person and a serious person, each sure the other is wasting a life.
Friendship
Underrated. Capricorn is the friend who lends Sagittarius the suitcase and insists on getting it back. Sagittarius is the one who gets Capricorn to take the trip at all.
Work
Sagittarius sells the dream, Capricorn delivers it on budget. Respect is needed in both directions, and neither gives it easily.
Where it breaks
Tact against tolerance. Sagittarius says the true thing at the wrong moment. Capricorn never forgets that it was the wrong moment.
The frog's verdict
Two stars, and a slow climb. Trade one weekend a month. Capricorn plans the first, Sagittarius improvises the second, and nobody complains during either.
