Sun Signs which are two signs apart from each other, such as Capricorn and Pisces, are ruled by complementary elements, here Earth and Water, and for this reason are traditionally considered to get on very well in a love relationship. What makes these signs so compatible is that the two are linked by sufficient similarities to allow them to function harmoniously together, yet at the same time there are enough differences to provide an alternative perspective and create that all important spark of excitement.

In the case of Capricorn and Pisces, both signs share the same sense of loyalty and devotion to the people they love, and a willingness to give their all for them. In a live-in relationship, a similar desire to care for each other can create an enduring bond between a Capricorn-Pisces couple, with the gentle Fish providing the loving touch, while earthy Capricorn looks after the finances and most of the practical affairs.

True, Capricorn and Pisces are also quite unalike in that while Capricorn's strong points are its practicality and realism, Pisces takes a much more imaginative and creative approach. And whereas the idealistic Fish often lacks worldly aspirations – and most of the time has its head in the clouds – the hard-working Goat is fiercely ambitious (and maybe a bit too rooted in the ground). However, because these traits balance each other well, Capricorn and Pisces potentially make a great team!
