One is cardinal, the other fixed: your different ways of acting can complement each other well once you agree on who leads when.

How we calculate

  • Capricorn: Earth, Cardinal
  • Aquarius: Air, Fixed
  • Angle between the signs: Neighbouring signs (30°)

Scores combine three classic rules of astrology: the element of each sign (fire, earth, air, water), its mode (cardinal, fixed, mutable) and the angle between the two signs on the zodiac wheel. Same-element and complementary-element pairs score highest.
