What Capricorn looks for in a soulmate
Capricorn takes love as seriously as work. This sign is slow to commit and very steady once it does, and it wants a partner with ambition, patience and respect for long term plans. A Capricorn soulmate values loyalty over drama and brings out the dry humor this sign hides at first.
The best soulmate signs for Capricorn
In astrology, signs that share an element sit four signs apart on the zodiac wheel. That angle is called a trine, and tradition treats it as the most harmonious match. For Capricorn, an earth sign, the two trine signs are Taurus and Virgo.
Capricorn and Taurus
Two earth signs who value security, patience and long term plans. This is the classic match for building a life together.
Capricorn and Virgo
Both are hard working and realistic, and both respect commitment. Tradition reads this as one of the steadiest pairs in the zodiac.
Capricorn with Pisces or Scorpio
These signs sit two signs away from Capricorn, an angle called a sextile, and they belong to a compatible element. Water nourishes earth. Capricorn brings steadiness and Pisces and Scorpio bring feeling, so tradition calls these easy, supportive matches.
Capricorn and Cancer, the opposite sign
Cancer looks after the home and Capricorn looks after the future. Tradition reads this as a pair that builds a secure family life.

The hardest matches for Capricorn
By the same tradition, the hardest matches for Capricorn are Aries and Libra, which sit three signs away. All three are cardinal signs, so each approaches life the same way while wanting different things. Gemini and Leo, five signs away, share neither an element nor a quality with Capricorn.

What a sun sign cannot tell you
Your sun sign is one factor in astrology. A full birth chart also has a moon sign, a rising sign and the positions of Venus and Mars, and those need your exact birth time and place. There is no scientific evidence that star signs predict how a relationship will go, so treat these matches as entertainment and as a prompt for thinking about what you want in a partner.
