4 Zodiac Signs That Make The Best Capricorn Soulmates

Everyone else on the zodiac wheel would bow down and give props to Capricorn as the most hard-working, focused, and goal-oriented of all the star signs. But as the old adage goes, “All work and no play makes Jack [or Jill] a dull boy [or girl].” Because Capricorns are as driven as a Formula 1 race car, they often miss the forest for the trees and fail to stop and smell the roses. In short, they forget that life is often brutally short, and no matter how much you achieve, it’s essential to take a break and have some fun.

Because of Capricorn’s deep-rooted logical pragmatism, they are often skeptical of the idea of love or of finding “the one.” And since everyone needs to feel loved and wanted, Capricorns often suffer from the sense that something’s missing in their lives. Of course there’s something missing—a soulmate!

Here are the four zodiac signs that make the best romantic and sexual partners for Capricorn because they soften their rough edges and add a little spice to their lives.

1. Aquarius

On the surface, it might seem that the logical and down-to-earth Capricorn and the more ethereal and nonconformist Aquarius would have little in common. But when one considers their astrological modalities, it’s almost the inverse—the earthy Capricorn is mutable, while the airy Aquarius is fixed. So they complement one another back-and-forth as well as forth-and-back. And they are both ruled by Saturn, which makes them both tenacious, disciplined, and hungry for knowledge and learning. The Aquarian tendency toward creativity is a perfect match for Capricorn’s pragmatism. So deep down where it counts, Capricorn and Aquarius go together like hot chocolate and marshmallows.

2. Cancer

This is another case where opposites attract—Capricorn’s hardwired logic finds its perfect balance in Cancer’s free-floating emotions. They are also sister signs, which means they sit directly opposite from one another on the astrological circle. According to astrologer Brittany Berringer, “The sister-sign pairings always sit six signs away from one another, or 180 degrees apart on the zodiac wheel, in an aspect known as an opposition. Because they’re directly across from one another, they share a similar outlook or attitude toward love, but differ in the way they express or experience it.” So although Capricorn works hard and Cancer feels hard, they meet right in the middle to embrace.

3. Pisces

At the risk of overgeneralizing, logical people tend to be more stable, while emotional people tend to be…what’s a nice word for “unstable?” … unpredictable, and Capricorn is as rigid as a Certified Public Accountant, whereas Pisces can be as unpredictable as an exotic dancer. But if they are able to slalom around their innate differences, not only can they bring out the best in one another—they can rehabilitate the worst. The mutable and adventurous Pisces can draw Capricorn out of their shell, while Capricorn can set a few boundaries for Pisces so they don’t wind up broke and in trouble. Together, they can find the perfect balance between excitement and contentment.

4. Leo

Putting romance aside for just a moment, Leo and Capricorn would make ideal business partners. The Lion is a fixed fire sign ruled by the sun who has a boundless sense of self that enables them to charm nearly anyone into giving them their money and their trust. The Goat is a workaholic who is insanely detail-oriented and constantly seeks to outperform themselves. In a corporation, Leo would be the CEO and Capricorn would be the Chief Financial Officer. But this synergy also applies to sex and romance—Leo is extroverted and charismatic, while Capricorn is introverted and practical. You could take them out of the front office and into the bedroom, and they’d work just as well together.
