Scorpio and Capricorn Compatibility

Scorpio and Capricorn are two signs apart, a sextile between fixed water and cardinal earth. Both are serious, self-possessed, ambitious and private. Scorpio contributes emotional depth and Capricorn contributes structure. Neither has much time for anything that is not genuine.

Are Scorpio and Capricorn compatible?

Yes. Communication and long-term ease are high and chemistry is strong. This sextile is one of the most resilient-looking combinations in the Codex, founded on mutual respect.

• Chemistry 8/10
• Communication 9/10
• Long-term 9/10

How the scores are worked out: signs two apart (a sextile) start at 7, 9 and 8 for chemistry, communication and long-term ease. Capricorn’s earth adds a point of long-term ease and Scorpio’s water adds a point to the lowest score, chemistry. Overall: 8.7/10, which the Codex calls “Natural flow”.

What attracts Scorpio and Capricorn?

Respect leads, and intensity builds slowly behind it. Capricorn relies on Scorpio’s loyalty, and Scorpio relies on Capricorn’s integrity. In private, their reserve gives way to a good deal of passion.

Where do Scorpio and Capricorn clash?

Two self-controlled people can turn into two closed-off people. Capricorn hides feeling beneath work, and Scorpio wants a partner who is emotionally present. Both can be slow to forgive, and both prefer to have the advantage.
