A lasting union between inflexible Capricorn and slippery Pisces seems somewhat unlikely and yet their many differences can prove to be complementary assets. The earth sign represents a solid support for the unstable water sign. Pisces finds Capricorn as reassuring as a boat on the open sea finds a lighthouse.

The earth sign is always serious and knows how to bring Pisces firmly back to reality when they get too involved in their imaginary world. As surprising as it may seem, flexible Pisces does not rebel against the authority of their Capricorn partner and even makes sure they offer the earth sign the gentleness and sensitivity that they lack.

Suffice to say that these two signs need a lot of patience, benevolence and understanding to make their relationship really work. Make no mistake, Pisces may well feel misunderstood and insulted by Capricorn, who is not known for their tenderness and delicacy. And, on the other hand, the earth sign is likely to get very frustrated by Pisces' lack of organization and their moods which will change with the wind.

Given these elements, the life of a Capricorn and Pisces couple is not likely to be smooth. Finding a point of understanding will require a lot of compromises right from the beginning.

Communication and emotion between Capricorn and Pisces

Neither Capricorn nor Pisces are great talkers. The earth sign is very introverted and speaks only when necessary. That said, they are able to be less reserved when they need to woo Pisces and get what they want. Pisces is a dreamer, so in essence, they are not great communicators. On the other hand, they find it easy to discern what their partner is feeling. In this relationship, Capricorn is a sort of marker and support for Pisces, who is much more sensitive and emotional than the earth sign. Capricorn is capable of being powerful, determined, ambitious and persevering.

They are fairly pragmatic and only believe in what seems logical and coherent to them. Capricorn's emotions are less developed than Pisces', which is probably why they appear cold at first. Conversely, Pisces makes all their decisions with their heart. They are very sensitive, find it easy to become emotionally dependent and often get confused.

Trust between Capricorn and Pisces

Capricorn is a good earth sign, upright and honest. They never lose sight of the realities of life, but Pisces lives in their dreamworld and easily loses contact with the mundane every day. The water sign is happy go lucky and charming but can easily feel deflated by the earth sign's detachment. This coldness sometimes feels like indifference and can push Pisces to get interested in other people than their partner.

If Capricorn brings the couple stability and solidity, it is Pisces that helps their partnership be more open to the world. Capricorn may be very loyal and faithful, but their lack of imagination can make their couple monotonous. And if Pisces is bored, they are quite capable of doing something stupid, hence the earth sign's latent mistrust.

Intimacy and sexuality of Capricorn with Pisces

In bed, the understanding between Capricorn and Pisces is fragile. Initially, both partners seem satisfied with their sex lives, in part because of their mutual physical attraction but also the excitement of a new relationship. The problem is that as they experience more and more conflicts their desire to snuggle up together is affected. In short, their excitement begins to deflate like a punctured tire. In reality, Capricorn and Pisces don't have the same expectations when it comes to their sex lives.

Pisces would like to be able to fuse body and soul with their partner, creating an almost indestructible spiritual bond with them. However, the earth sign does not feel the same way about sex. Sensuality, gentleness and romance are not really their bag. For them, sex is a physical act meant to bring physical pleasure and nothing more.

Compatibility in love

A Capricorn man with a Pisces woman: Miss Pisces is gentle and dreamy and finds the stability she seeks with Mr Capricorn. He offers her all the material security she needs because he is very prudent and forward looking. What's more, his natural caution helps Miss Pisces avoid a lot of pitfalls. Mr Capricorn appreciates his companion's youthful spirit and imagination as it counterbalances his shyness and very serious nature. However, the balance in this relationship can be precarious because Miss Pisces is very sensitive and easily offended by Mr Capricorn's aloofness. Mr Capricorn's very tidy life is not necessarily suitable for the romantic Miss Pisces in the long term.

A Capricorn woman with a Pisces man: Miss Capricorn is seduced by Mr Pisces' gentleness and sensitivity. She feels a lot of tenderness for him, and she gives him her trust quite easily. In return, Mr Pisces appreciates the stability that his partner brings him. Being a great dreamer, he lives in ignorance of material contingencies and the obligations of everyday life. Fortunately, Miss Capricorn is very different and can compensate for her companion's lacks. However, despite her patience, she also finds it easy to criticize and won't hesitate to tell-off Mr Pisces for his carelessness and habit of just letting life carry him along.
