When Gemini and Capricorn come together, they must work hard to ensure that their energies are geared toward the same
purposes, for their individual approaches are as different as night and day. They are inextricably linked but they don't always
realize it. Gemini is out there in the world, skimming over a thousand different experiences without stopping to breathe.
The Goat dislikes risks and prefers a well thought out plan; once they set their sights on a goal, they are sure to reach
it eventually. The challenge for Gemini and Capricorn is to get to the
same place at the same time.
Capricorn is very unassuming and quiet, while Gemini is more
outgoing. Capricorn is more stubborn, while Gemini is flexible. When they're
a couple they need to have different and well-defined roles to ensure that they don't cross each others boundaries. Their
philosophies on work and acquisition are quite different: Gemini is quick and jumps to conclusions, and Capricorn sees the
value of doing things the hard way if it ensures that the project will be successful. Once the partners understand each other's
style, their methods help them to achieve together what they could not achieve alone.
Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury and Capricorn is ruled
by the Planet Saturn. These Planets can work at cross-purposes, so it's important for Gemini and Capricorn to work through
their differences. Saturn perseveres and keeps moving ahead through all kinds of difficulties. Mercury has the energy to take
projects forward despite obstacles. Both partners tend to be resolute and neither gives up easily. But if their energies are
not channeled in positive ways, together these Planets may signify repressed emotion. Capricorn must be careful not to dampen
Gemini's spirit, and Gemini must work to encourage open channels with Capricorn.
Gemini is an Air Sign and Capricorn is an Earth Sign. Gemini
initiates projects from theory, while Capricorn is more practical. Capricorn
asks, "What good will this do as I work toward my main plan in life?" while Gemini simply sees what they want and acquire
it for its own sake, without having a set plan in mind. Although these partners may find it difficult to understand where
the other is coming from, when they work together they make an excellent business team because of their complementary approaches.
Gemini is a Mutable Sign and Capricorn is a Cardinal Sign.
Capricorn is the initiator, while Gemini is adaptable. They have such contrasting work styles that they work better when they
each have a particular, well-defined role. On the surface, Gemini may be the leader rushing to confront a challenge, but The
Goat will also be indirectly in charge because they are consistent and determined. It's important for both partners to understand
that compromise is the key to their success.
The best aspect of the Gemini-Capricorn relationship is that they each bring their own qualities to the relationship.
Once they allow each other to be themselves -- rather than measuring each other against impossible standards -- they can blend
well to make a whole. Theirs is a challenging relationship, but if they can learn from each other it's worth it!
