Compatibility
Scorpio and Capricorn
Neither of them says much at dinner. Both of them leave knowing exactly where the other stands.
Together
Scorpio respects anyone who can keep a secret, and Capricorn has been keeping one since the age of six - that there is a feeling person under the good coat. Scorpio finds it within a month and, unusually, does not use it. Capricorn notices the restraint and files it as the most romantic thing anyone has ever done.
Water feeds earth here. Scorpio gives the depth that Capricorn's ambition lacks, Capricorn gives the shape that Scorpio's intensity cannot hold on its own. Two patient people, both playing the long game, finally on the same side of the board.
Love
Slow to start and very hard to end. Capricorn courts like a merger, Scorpio tests like an interrogation, and both pass. Neither needs grand words. Scorpio wants total honesty, Capricorn wants total reliability, and these turn out to be the same promise in two accents.
Friendship
The friendship that runs on six phone calls a year, each of them important. Capricorn brings Scorpio the practical problem. Scorpio brings back the motive nobody else spotted.
Work
A formidable pair. Capricorn builds the structure and Scorpio knows where every pipe runs behind the walls. Rivals learn to fear the quiet office with these two in it.
Where it breaks
Control, from two directions. Capricorn controls the calendar, Scorpio controls the information, and a cold war between them can run for a year with perfect manners. Work also eats the evenings until there is nothing left to be honest about.
The frog's verdict
Four stars, built to last and slightly airless. Once a month, close the laptops and tell each other one thing that is not useful. Capricorn, go first. Scorpio will remember it forever, in the good way.
