Capricorn Aquarius is a relationship which is often very good as friends or as a casual fling. In the longer term it can be challenging to make work however.
Initially you may be drawn to this partners fast mind, dynamic character, and sense of individuality. This is a free spirit, typically with unique and fascinating ways of approaching life.
This is however a very independent person, who often doesn’t take well to the type of concrete plans and stability you often prefer in a relationship.
The main problem in a Capricorn Aquarius match is that while you often like to have a mental plan and rules to follow, your partner typically doesn’t.
While Aquarians do often have a goal or direction in mind, they’re often very experimental and relaxed in finding the best route towards it, often viewing plans and rules as little more than temporary tools, to be ignored or discarded once a better approach is found.
This can make for an exciting short term partner, however in the longer term it’s likely they will frustrate you and seem very unpredictable. They aren’t inspired by the satisfaction gained from formulating and sticking to plans or rules in the same way that you are.
This difference in viewpoint manifests in numerous life areas, each of which is likely to disturb you to some degree if you’re relying on them as a partner.
For example, your Aquarius has relatively little interest in their public image or social expectations. This is a partner who often will shock and offend in social situations, particularly if amused or offended by someone’s closed mindedness or arrogance.
Aquarians are always analytical and objective, and can even come across as aloof or emotionally distant due to how intellectual they are. You can be the same way with strangers, but unlike yourself it’s often not a veneer with this partner. They can remain that way, no matter how serious a relationship develops.
Due to this and the above experimental tendencies you may find little overall security in the relationship, unless you make an effort to understand and accept them you may feel like you don’t really know who your partner is sometimes.
This is “just how they are” at times, and not an indication that they don’t love you (and note that you may be equally guilty of the same thing in different ways!)
You both can be very stubborn, though in different ways, often making reconciliation of differences challenging. This is also a relationship where you may find you’re each focused elsewhere, and you both can be guilty of neglecting a partnership for extended periods in the absence of a partner who keeps you focused on it.
Other minor differences in a Capricorn Aquarius relationship include the likelihood that your Aquarius looks to the current or future, and is interested in the cutting edge, while you are more likely to be interested in the past and tradition.
While you may envision a house full of family heirlooms squirreled away over decades they’re more likely to have a computer, TV and numerous electronic gadgets front and center. You’re likely to be much more materialistic than your Aquarius is, however they do enjoy their technology and toys.
Money may also be an issue here. You take a much more structured and methodical approach to your career and financial security. While typically not a reckless spender, Aquarius is unlikely to have the same level of desire to steadily improve their financial security.
