Air and Fire Are Not Good Matches with Capricorn
The remaining zodiac signs are in the elements of Air and Fire. Traditionally, according to Sun sign compatibility, these don't make good mates for Capricorn. For Capricorn to have a healthy relationship with a Fire or Air sign individual, they'll need to look for compatibility elsewhere in their synastry.
Air Signs
The Air signs, Gemini, Aquarius, and Libra, are too flighty for earthbound Capricorn, who won't appreciate the itchy feet these signs have. Capricorns and Air signs don't share the same interests and will talk past one another. A Capricorn is a practical, down to earth, thoughtful introvert, while the Air signs are extraverts that are filled with ideas but don't often consider the practicality of what they are saying and can change their minds from one minute to another.
Fire Signs
The Fire signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, can spark the flames of romance and be exciting to a Capricorn. They can even light a fire under Capricorn's feet and inspire them. However, what often happens in this Earth and Fire relationship is that the Fires sign burns out of control and scorches Capricorn's Earth; on the other hand, Capricorn's Earthy nature can smother the spark of life out of the Fire sign. In any case, Capricorns and Fire sign are not an easy combination.
Capricorn's Best Love Matches
Considering the Sun signs only, the Water signs might seem to be the best matches for a Capricorn, but when you look at a Capricorn's entire birth chart their perfect astrological match could be any of the 12 astrological signs. Sun sign compatibility is entertaining and somewhat accurate, but if you're a Capricorn and really interested in "who" your best love match might be you'll need to examine your entire birth chart, particularly the Moon, Venus, and Mars.
