Capricorn is a mermaid and Pisces is a fish. Capricorn and Pisces feel like they almost always meet each other at exactly the right time.
You would think that Pisces, being Jupiter ruled, and Capricorn, being Saturnian, would feud like Zeus and Kronos in myth but nope. They don’t. Capricorn reminds Pisces that life needs consistency, that you will feel better about yourself when you keep your word, and that doing the hard stuff more than once makes it less hard. Pisces reminds Capricorn that your heart rests easier when you let go of what you can’t control.
Pisces has a way of drawing out Capricorn’s wisdom.
You see, Capricorn is the wise, old man with a childish heart while Pisces is the childlike one with an old heart. Capricorns know their wisdom but they have a hard time showing it for whatever reason. Their voices are too quiet. People don’t take them seriously or they mistake Capricorn’s solemnness for severity. As the holder of silence in the zodiac, Capricorn feels seen when they are around people who look for the unseen. That’s Pisces.
In relationships, Pisces has a very easy time following someone else’s lead. Take the music video Tití Me Preguntó for instance. In the music video, Bad Bunny is a sensual, carefree Pisces who is attracted to all kinds of people. Gabriela, his Capricorn, abducts him in the video and dresses him for their wedding. She appears to him floating in a white dress like an angel. Bad Bunny and Gabriela, a Capricorn and Pisces pairing, have been either dating or loyal friends for several years.
“I’m going to take you in and run your life for you,” is exactly the vibe that some Capricorns give off when they start to get serious with someone. That turns Pisces on. They like it even if they don’t always agree.
“I’m going to turn you on so much I’ll ruin your life for you,” is the vibe that Pisces happens to give. Capricorns are super enticed by this energy even though they also happen to not agree that it can happen.
When Pisces is among the most serious types, when they are subjected to someone else’s authority, they feel like they can be more carefree. They are free to play up their obedience or play up their brattiness. Pisces loves to respond to someone else’s clarity.
But Pisces also challenges Capricorn in an interesting way. Pisces is probably the only zodiac sign who is capable of agreeing and disagreeing with someone at the same time. Capricorn strives for clarity in their own life but they’re often stressed by people who draw clear lines in the sand. Black and white thinking brings out Capricorn’s authority issues. But Pisces? Pisces is not drawing lines in the sand at all.
Ask a Pisces anything and their favorite thing to say is, “I don’t know.” They say “I don’t know” with wonder in their eyes. What they really mean to say is, “How can anyone ever know?” or “Why don’t you try it and find out?”
As a personality, Capricorn is the sturdy pillar in the sea of the unknown. They are also the mysterious and silent one who wades among the living. To some people, Capricorn just reads as stoic. To Pisces, Capricorn is the most interesting person in the world because all of their feelings and values and quirks are hidden in the details. Pisces doesn’t always enjoy people who are too open or in your face in their affections because Pisces likes the game of drawing out one’s pleasure.
From Capricorn’s side, Pisces is insanely attractive because Pisces is shockingly available. When Capricorn hides their feelings, Pisces knows and does not pry. They just wait quietly, not straying but not leaving. When Capricorn shows their feelings, Pisces can read between the lines. Capricorn feels met by Pisces—read intuitively and accurately. To Capricorn, Pisces is the comforting and exhilarating presence of someone who knows you and does not try to change you.
Capricorns like to express themselves through silence and Pisces is one of the signs who happens to know exactly what’s going on inside of you when you are silent.
You have to remember that Capricorn has a child’s heart. They might resort themselves to expectations and declarative statements when they feel misunderstood but their inner selves are soft. Pisces can see Capricorn’s needs beneath the planning and the ambition. They understand where it all comes from and they don’t pry. They just wait.
Capricorn and Pisces become more patient when they are together. They become wise because they make each other wise.
When Capricorn and Pisces have issues as all people in relationships do (Should we move together? What is commitment? What is trust?), neither of them are in a hurry to rush the other person. This is very important because rushing an issue makes Pisces become apathetic and Capricorn very anxious. Because neither Capricorn or Pisces will rush the other person, they almost have this feeling that they met each other at exactly the right time.
Because Capricorn and Pisces do not rush each other, they find it easy to come into agreement over the pace of their relationship. They understand what time it is in the other person’s body without betraying their own inner clock. They make time to build trust and they wait to see how the other person reacts.
All Capricorn needs to come to a comfortable pace, to feel pleasure because they are comfortable, is consistent availability. They will pull out all the stops for you if you give them that. All Pisces needs to feel comfortable following someone else’s flow, to find pleasure in their dynamic with that person, is clarity. They will devote themselves to you if you give them that.
Capricorn gives Pisces a sense of clarity and Pisces gives Capricorn the availability that they seek. This partnership is devoted.
So, Capricorn and Pisces tend to be lifelong friends. They might be one of the only kinds of zodiac pairings that can move into and out of romance and friendship again and again without ever breaking their loyalty to one another.
