HOW COMPATIBLE ARE CAPRICORN AND GEMINI IN A LOVE RELATIONSHIP?

Emotionally and sexually Capricorn and Gemini may not be particularly compatible, but at a worldly level they have a great deal to offer each other. Whether or not their relationship succeeds depends on how willing they are to take advantage of their areas of similarity and work on overcoming their differences.

CAPRICORN-GEMINI COMPATIBILITY OVERVIEW

As far as love compatibility is concerned, some people see this as one of the more challenging Star Sign combinations, with one sign – Capricorn – ruled by the element of Earth and the other – Gemini – ruled by the conflicting element of Air. In reality though, things aren’t necessarily as difficult as they might initially appear!

True, a fundamentally different approach to life – sociable, restless and light-hearted in the case of Gemini – self-contained, steady and purposeful in the case of Capricorn – can give rise to disagreements and mutual criticism. In a long-term relationship, the Goat's relentless work ethic can clash uncomfortably with Gemini's compulsive need to party, while to the intensely ambitious Goat, butterfly Gemini can seem too light-weight and superficial.

But if each accepts they have much to gain and benefit from the other, Capricorn and Gemini can actually cooperate quite successfully at a worldly level. Gemini – a great networker – can help Capricorn towards the material achievement it so longs for by teaching it to communicate more effectively and introducing it to the right people. In turn Capricorn can help scatterbrained Gemini to be more focused and develop greater sticking power.




CAPRICORN-GEMINI EMOTIONAL COMPATIBILITY

Neither Gemini nor Capricorn are very keen on gushing displays of raw emotion – Air Sign Gemini’s responses being governed purely by logic and reasoning, while Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, the planet of self-control, is far too emotionally uptight to openly display its feelings. So far, so good, and in this respect Gemini and Capricorn have quite a bit in common. But there are also some major emotional differences between these star signs.

Basically, Capricorn thrives on security and predictability. This is a sign that likes to know exactly where it is headed and then faithfully follow its chosen path step by step. In contrast, without sufficient flexibility and variety in their life, Gemini people very quickly get bored and restless. While most Geminis really love surprises, your average Capricorn finds it hard to cope with anything unexpected they haven’t carefully prepared for in advance.

At the end of the day, it could be that Gemini’s emotional pace is simply too fast and erratic for the slow, plodding Goat. But if this couple can meet somewhere in the middle and settle for a happy medium, they could actually make an emotionally well balanced team.




CAPRICORN-GEMINI SEXUAL COMPATIBILITY

Sexually, Capricorn and Gemini may be somewhat mis-matched initially. To excitement-seeking Gemini, the cautious Goat can seem too sexually slow off the mark, too serious and too boring – while to Capricorn, flirty Gemini can appear rather shallow and non-committal. The Earth sign will rarely enter into a full-on sexual relationship unless it feels at least some sense of ongoing involvement. Freedom-loving Gemini tends to be a lot more relaxed about no-strings one-night-stands.

For things to work between these two sexually, Gemini has to be prepared to grow up a bit, while Capricorn needs to shake off its oversized sense of responsibility and laugh away some of its cares.
 

CAPRICORN-GEMINI MENTAL COMPATIBILITY

Gemini and Capricorn really couldn’t be more unalike in their styles of thinking and communication!

Gemini’s power of concentration is probably the worst in the entire Zodiac, causing it to constantly flit erratically between different topics of thought and conversation. Capricorn, on the other hand, has the most structured and well ordered mind of all the Star Signs and won’t give up on a discussion until it has taken it to its ultimate conclusion. Not surprisingly, these two find talking to each other quite frustrating at times.

When decisions need to be made or problems need solving, the big difference between Gemini’s logical approach versus Capricorn’s down to earth mindset really stand out. While Gemini is great at coming up with clever suggestions, Capricorn complains they’re too random and impractical. While Capricorn always eventually arrives at a workable solution, Gemini has usually long lost interest because it finds the Goat too boringly long-winded!


CAPRICORN-GEMINI COMPATIBILITY CHALLENGES

In this relationship the Capricorn will instinctively assume the role of the mature, dependable ‘adult’, while the Gemini plays the care-free child or adolescent, irrespective of the two people’s actual ages. Problems will arise, however, if Capricorn tires of having to carry all the responsibilities – or Gemini comes to resent constantly being scolded and told what to do by its more sensible Capricorn partner.

Maintaining an equal balance of obligations and duties is probably the main compatibility challenge in any Capricorn-Gemini relationship. Happy-go-lucky Gemini must avoid the temptation to take unreasonable advantage of the conscientious Goat. Capricorn must be very careful not to allow itself to be lumbered with all the tiresome burdens. Establishing an equitable work-play balance - which is equally fair for both people - right from the start will be critical for the long-term viability of a Capricorn-Gemini love match.
