Strengths as a Couple
As a couple, both Capricorns can look forward to a deep and satisfying relationship that can stand the test of time. On the other hand, that kind of structure and resilience will be constantly tested by disagreements.
Capricorns, despite keeping to themselves and exposing their weaknesses as little as possible, are quite straightforward in their approaches. This definitely shows in the way two Capricorns courts each other. They mutually dislike the mind games that other signs seem to indulge in and so like to keep things formal and brief until they both see good reasons to commit even further.
However, once they do fully commit to one another, they become quite the power couple. Drawing from their common sign, they are united in their pursuit of progress and grounded in their more traditional and family-centered ideals.
Being masters of all things practical, you can find Capricorn couples spearheading family businesses and planning out their futures and even their children’s futures with financial freedom in mind. With their propensity for efficiency and dislike for waste, they can check each other’s weaknesses and push each other to improve, building upon what the other has created.
Weaknesses as a Couple
Generally speaking, the relationship between two Capricorns is hardly ideal.
Capricorns, when coupled together, tend to lock horns more often than not. A Capricorn’s dominant attitude may serve them well in pursuit of their goals but can lead to disagreements on even the little things in times of relative calm when another Capricorn comes into their life. In particular, they clash when it comes to issues of control and power.
Capricorns, being cardinal earth, thrive on initiating action. By extension, they loathe being the one that has to follow, especially if they think they have a better idea or can produce a better result. Left unchecked, this constant tug of war between both sides can overshadow and eventually consume the entirety of the relationship, leading to its untimely end.
If they are to make things work out between them, they must make allowances for emotions they need to stay grounded. This expression of emotion is naturally difficult but necessary for the stringent Capricorn, and so both partners need to unite against this common enemy by practicing more empathy and understanding. Furthermore, they must also focus their competitive energies towards more worthwhile goals so that they don’t burn off that energy by turning on each other.
Compatibility
Romance
Capricorns are practical and grounded. They value structure and rationality above all else. However, this same rigid attitude is also a key factor in why Capricorn partners may find it difficult to express themselves romantically and sexually.
The thing is, sexuality is all about an emotional release and manifesting those emotions in a physical bond with your partner. This may be difficult for the more cerebral and practical-minded Capricorn, leading to issues where the Capricorn does not have another sign that can help them cut loose and explore their sensual, emotional side. With this said, it becomes apparent that Capricorn partners may find it difficult to be sexually and emotionally satisfied with each other.
However, much like many facets of the relationship, common goals can bring Capricorns closer together in ways other sign combinations could only dream of. This then creates a theme of extremes when Capricorns decide to indulge in intimacy: They could stonewall each other by their nature, or they could just as well flow into each other, reaching a level of oneness with so few words.
Activities
There is an interesting phenomenon when it comes to Capricorn relationships, especially newer ones.
Capricorns could conceivably bond over almost any activity under the sun, but for the most part, they just don't, despite clearly having the time and energy to do so. On the surface, this may seem like something they would do just to throw off their partner, but as is usually the case for Capricorns, they may simply be feeling threatened and unsafe, unable to be themselves. With how little Capricorns allow themselves to communicate their needs and vulnerabilities, their need for validation and safety comes across as callous spitefulness, and another gap forms between them.
However, with enough affirmations and non-judgmental validation, they may allow themselves to be less guarded around their partner. This opens up a myriad of possibilities of activities they could do together.
Regardless, they still actively need to keep in touch with each other’s wants and needs. If they don’t, they run the risk of drifting away completely due to an inability to understand what their partner needs from them and vice versa
.
Communication
As with most things, Capricorns always engage in discourse with an objective in mind and a need for resolution. However, they always make a point to fire from cover, in a matter of speaking; they compartmentalize their emotions from their reasoning and logic.
What happens then, is that you have two Capricorns who very much want to engage in so many topics, from the grand overarching schemes of the cosmos to the little things like how their partners day went, but sit behind their fences silence, waiting for the other to make the first move. While they may be satisfied in analyzing their partners from a distance, this will soon fester into resentment when both parties realize that the relationship has stagnated.
Fortunately, a good relationship with regards to Capricorns have them working together on mutually designated goals. This provides them with the urgency to communicate effectively and forces them to lower their guard and ask for help when needed.
With this necessary honesty and the positive feedback of success, they may find themselves agreeing on many things, thus kickstarting a chain reaction of positive communication, edging their fences closer and closer until they unite into one front.
Values
Capricorns, being who they are, have very rigid viewpoints on their values and morals. These values are the standard to which they hold everyone, including their partners. With two Capricorns sharing this view, it would be like an unstoppable force clashing with an immovable object. Combined with their nature for confrontation, this can lead to incompatibility.
However, it is not impossible to live and let live. While Capricorns may become restless and start to pick at each other in times of relative calm, or without any solid plan moving forward, they become a formidable force when they take their dominant energies and combine them in the pursuit of a common goal.
With their more dominating desires satiated, they may then be satisfied in letting sleeping dogs lie and allow their partner to agree to disagree on values that they may not share, consequently fostering an atmosphere of safety and understanding.
Emotions
When it comes to emotions, Capricorns strive to be cold and calculating, taking control of any situation to solve any issues. It is natural for a Capricorn to keep their cards close to their chest, as they are always fighting against their emotions in the pursuit of remaining logical.
This emotional dead space, however, negatively affects both sides when they enter a relationship. Because while Capricorns can quickly see the good sense and reasoning to respect their partner thanks to their intelligence, the emotional profession of love is a very slow burn. At times, it may feel like bridging this emotional gap is not unlike running through a No Man’s Land, as Capricorns hate showing vulnerability.
But through a mutual understanding that this gap exists, and with both sides affirming the other when they can, Capricorn partners may be able to deepen their relationship further. While it is not an easy path to take, doing so may lead to such a depth of emotional understanding that transcends the need for so many words that you can only find between two Capricorns.
Healing Crystals for Capricorn and Capricorn
Green Tourmaline
One problem with this pair is the hesitance to open up. While they share the same qualities, a pair of Capricorns will naturally find it difficult to place themselves in a vulnerable position. Always on guard, this pair might put out the flame without even realizing it. Thus, they will need a crystal that can guide their innermost feelings.
Perfect for opening up, this healing crystal is the catalyst that can change the way this pair perceives relationships. Just as any relationship requires vulnerability, Green Tourmaline gives that much-needed assurance that it is okay to fall for someone and let them become a part of your life.
More importantly, this crystal addresses the root causes of one’s distrust and contempt against others. Healing and rejuvenating the emotional core from within, it brings to light the things that we cannot accept within ourselves. Gently, Green Tourmaline brings that notion of acceptance and healing from within.
In other words, this healing crystal promotes that inner trust, which is necessary for a fully functional romantic relationship.
Onyx
Regardless of how careful we can be, undesirable outcomes are always just around the corner. This is perhaps why Capricorn is especially careful in almost everything that they're dealing with in life. And to no surprise, the main cause of detestable results are often the negative energies that shroud our presence.
With the pair of Capricorns perceived as overly vigilant and cautious, it is a no-brainer that they should keep negative energies at their doorsteps. They will need a healing crystal that can actively secure themselves and even their home from the malicious forces that circulate beyond their control.
Known to be a powerful protection stone, Onyx wards off all the unwanted negative energies around us. Like an ancient totem that protects us from evil spirits, this healing crystal can block almost all sorts of negativity that can drain one’s personal energy.
On top of that, it also brings wise decision-making skills an inner self-discipline. Aiding in the cultivation of positive skills from the inside, its two-pronged approach is perfect for a holistic kind of development.
Crystal Quartz
One major drawback of having a Capricorn in a relationship is that they tend to be overly critical about themselves. Add to that, this critical attitude extends to how they treat others, often pushing those around them away.
Given such, what usually happens is that two Capricorns may end up creating an unrecognized distance between each other. Unable to resolve this conflict, the two will end up bickering for almost no reason at all.
But when it comes to relationships, not everything makes sense. Instead, most of the time, it is a push and pulls of conflicting and irritating emotions that seem to test our patience and kindness for the other.
With that, Crystal Quartz is definitely a great companion to be with. Known to bring clarity and take away confusion on the conscious and subconscious levels of our mind, this healing crystal is perfect for them to overlook the small things.
