Hey Capricorn, These Are Your Best—and Worst—Love Matches

Hey Capricorn, are you looking for someone to spend those cold winter nights with? And did you know that you could use astrology as a roadmap to compatibility?

It’s true! By looking at the element (earth, air, fire, or water) and quality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable) of your signs, you could get a glimpse of how you two will work together as a couple.

Earth signs (that’s you!) are usually the most compatible with water signs and other earth signs. Earth signs are known to be grounded and practical. They’re warm, dependable, and security conscious. Water signs are known for their deep emotions. They’re soulful, empathic, and melancholy at times.

In addition, cardinal signs (you again!) work best with mutable or fixed signs. Mutable signs are known for their flexibility, and fixed signs are stabilizing influences. It’s not impossible for two cardinal signs to make a good match, but since you’re known for your visionary and leadership qualities, you could have some serious control issues.

So do you think you and your crush are written in the stars? Read on to find out!

Best: Taurus

With Taurus, a fixed earth sign, you’ll find a strong sense of purpose in your partnership. You both want to build a home of security and stability. Taurus will appreciate your tireless work ethic, and you’ll appreciate the luxurious and decadent touches they bring to the table. Because who says practical has to be boring?

Best: Virgo

With Virgo, a mutable earth sign, you’ll feel like two peas in a pod. You’re both hard-working individuals who pursue their goals tirelessly—why not work toward a mutual goal together? This is a harmonious match that could stand the test of time.

Best: Scorpio

With Scorpio, a fixed water sign, you’ll find a great partner-in-crime. Your patience and determination will compliment their intensity and imagination. There’s also no lack of sexual chemistry in this match.

Best: Pisces

With Pisces, a mutable water sign, you’ll have a chance to balance each other out in really lovely ways. You’ll bring a stabilizing influence to Pisces’ sometimes emotionally turbulent life, and they’ll bring some fun and whimsy into yours.

Worst: Aries

With Aries, a cardinal fire sign, you’ll always be fighting over who leads in the relationship. You’re the consummate grownup who thinks they’re impulsive and reckless; they’ll feel like they’re missing out on life if they can’t take off after the next adventure or opportunity. This will cause some struggles.

Worst: Leo

With Leo, a fixed fire sign, you’ll also keep competing over who gets to play the leader. But while your main motivation in taking charge of situations is to get things done, Leo wants to sit in the director’s chair because they crave the spotlight and validation. This could get annoying for you real quick.

Worst: Libra

With Libra, a cardinal air sign, there’s just no seeing eye-to-eye. Libra is preoccupied with high-minded pursuits like fairness, truth, and finding the beauty in humanity. Which are great, if a bit frivolous for you. You need something a bit more solid to count on. And they could grow bored of being with someone so “grown up” all the time. There could be some serious resentment here.

Worst: Sagittarius

With Sagittarius, a mutable fire sign, there’s the potential of an unsettling parent-child dynamic. They’re too flighty, you’re too practical. Even the sexual chemistry of this match is a miss. Your ideal lifestyles are too different.
