Capricorn and Capricorn

Compatibility overview

In this often close match, two Capricorns can enjoy a nourishing and joyful connection. Tensions arising from overfamiliarity are more or less inevitable for own-sign matches, but this is a patiently determined, ambitious sign, and doubling their essential traits should provide plenty of scope for emotional security and achieving shared goals.

Own-sign matches in the Western zodiac always share the same element, which in the case of two Capricorn natives is Earth. This influence emphasizes accretion-style growth—for Capricorn, as with all Earth signs, worthwhile results are built up gradually, requiring patience, determination, and hard work.

Hence two Capricorns together will likely see the world the same way, and share similar priorities. Good-humored banter and instinctual collaboration are par for the course. Perhaps more importantly, Capricorn is typically very ambitious, with a keen interest in, and understanding of, power relations. This duo will tend to respect each other as powerful allies, and fall in step quickly as they progress towards their typically prodigious life goals. Feelings of affection and solidarity flow naturally in this context, promoting an amiable and trusting atmosphere.

On the more negative side, two Capricorns share the pure, initiating force of a Cardinal modality, so they are both accustomed to developing projects from inception, and may be loath to surrender control or responsibility to each other. This sign is generally more comfortable pulling strings behind the scenes than revealing their power and influence, so two Capricorns may find they vacillate between feeling over-exposed on one hand, or unappreciated on the other. Depression can be more acutely experienced by Capricorn than other signs, and it may take some work to maintain emotional buoyancy at times.

On the whole, though, these two will rarely lose touch with the instinctual camaraderie and sympathy they share. The relationship may wax and wane over time, and some distance may occasionally prove advantageous, but there is great potential here for lifelong reassurance and pleasure.

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk

Bradley Cooper (1/5/1975, Capricorn Tiger), Irina Shayk (1/6/1986, Capricorn Ox) : The actor and model were together between 2015 and 2019 and have one child together. They have maintained a close friendship, and in 2022, Shayk shared pictures of the two holidaying in a tropical location. Shayk has described: "I think in all good relationships, you bring your best and your worst — it’s just the nature of a human being. Two great people don’t have to make a good couple. I think we’ve been very lucky to experience what we had with each other."

Sienna Miller (12/28/1981, Capricorn Rooster), Jude Law (12/29/1972, Capricorn Rat) : The actors were a couple between 2003 and 2006, and were engaged until Law reportedly had an affair with his children's nanny in 2005. They reconciled in 2009 but broke up again in 2011. Miller has described the intense challenges of their first break-up, saying in 2020, "It was really hard. And the other thing was, it was at the height of all that paparazzi madness, and in London where there was an epidemic of bad behavior. They knew where I would be every night." However, she continues to reflect fondly on the relationship, saying in 2016, "I care about [Law] enormously."

Robert Duvall and Luciana Pedraza

Robert Duvall (1/5/1931, Capricorn Horse), Luciana Pedraza (1/5/1972, Capricorn Pig) : The two actors have been married since 2005. They share the same birthday, with 41 years between them. They collaborated in the films, Assassination Tango (2002), and Wild Horses (2015). Speaking of the former, Duvall described in 2003: "[Pedraza is] a natural. To live in Argentina and have your own business and deal with the corruption down there, there's a lot of living by your wits. She's gotten herself out of jams by acting in a natural way, so I knew she could do that. We personalized things in our real life and put them in this imaginary set of circumstances. For that coffee shop scene we just set up two cameras and improvised for eight minutes. No script, just went."

Orlando Bloom (1/13/1977, Capricorn Dragon), Kate Bosworth (1/2/1983, Capricorn Dog) : The two actors dated before they both achieved substantial success, and have remained on friendly terms. Bosworth described in 2008: "Orlando and I met when we were kids. Blue Crush [2002] hadn't come out. Lord of the Rings [2001-2003] hadn't come out. He was the first big heartbreak...First love - you feel like it's the be-all and end-all. To put as little pressure on the relationship you're in is very important. I regret that it was too intense for both of us."

Joe Frazier and George Foreman

George Foreman (1/10/1949, Capricorn Rat), Joe Frazier (1/12/1944, Capricorn Sheep) : The two heavyweight world champions—who, along with fellow Capricorn Muhammad Ali, are among the most famous boxers of all time—formed a close friendship later in life. Foreman described in 2011: "I had good years with Joe Frazier and I was able to tell him things that ordinarily boxers are not able to tell each other. Like ‘I love you, I miss you, needing the cash,’ I was able to do those things and didn't leave any stones unturned if you know what I mean. I sure would’ve liked to get another six or seven years with him. What a boogieman. He loved to dance, have fun, a party animal to the end."

The four Trine Families that underlie Chinese astrology—like the elements in Western astrology—are composed of two compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the family of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and that of the Pig (with the Rabbit and Sheep). These two families together include some of the most precious combinations in the whole Chinese zodiac, and while the pairing of Horse and Pig is not always singled out for special attention, the surrounding good fortune creates some seriously favourable conditions for success.

The Horse is famously free-spirited and driven to make their mark, but they tend to have strongly altruistic impulses and detest compromise. Hence they are likely to find much to admire in the usually selfless, generous Pig, and can find themselves fitting comfortably into a rewarding, often protective, role in the relationship. The Pig, for their part, tends to be at their best when they can relax, knowing that their trusting nature will not be taken advantage of. The strength and upstanding qualities of the Horse can therefore provide the Pig with an invaluable sense security, helping them to avoid profligacy and channel their usually prodigious talents into nourishing opportunities.

There is a certain separateness about this energy, which at times may be more conducive to mutual respect and camaraderie than dying-in-a-ditch-together closeness. The Pig tends to be a kindly and homely spirit by nature, and they may find the intensity of the Horse blows their hair back a bit more than they can assuredly handle. The Horse has a dyed-in-the-wool need for independence that can make others feel at a distance—they may sometimes have a sense that the Pig needs more from them than they are willing to provide. Such challenges, however, may prove easy to manage in the right circumstances.

The bottom line is that the desirable characteristics of these two signs are potentially very harmonious, and with strategies in place to manage any passing feelings of neglect or excess, these two can achieve great things in a wide variety of contexts.

Greg Wise and Emma Thompson

Greg Wise (5/15/1966, Taurus Horse), Emma Thompson (4/15/1959, Aries Pig) : The two actors have been in a relationship since 1995, and married in 2003. They have two children (one adopted). Thompson has described: "I think people in long, happy marriages tell a lot of fibs like ‘Yes, it’s been marvelous!’, whereas I say ‘No, sometimes it’s been awful’. I hope it carries on, but we don’t know. We say ‘Well, this is nice, isn’t it?’ We don’t take anything for granted."

Elissa Durwood Grodin (18 April 1954, Aries Horse), Charles Grodin (4/21/1935, Taurus Pig) : The actor/comedian/author and writer/journalist were married from 1983 until Grodin's death in 2021, and had two children. They met for the first time when Durwood interviewed Grodin in 1982, and at the end he famously proposed. Durwood described later: "[Grodin's] a help in every way. Above all, he's a good man. I have a happy life with him. He's been very helpful with career stuff. Supportive and full of goodness...You know what? I was expecting [him to propose]. I know it sounds weird, but there you go. We were star-crossed. We really hit it off. It was a deep connection...I just said yes. And a year later we were married. It's been fabulous. We've been married for thirty years."

Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David

Jerry Seinfeld (4/29/1954, Taurus Horse), Larry David (7/2/1947, Cancer Pig) : The two comedian/actor/writers famously co-created and collaborated for seven seasons on the hugely successful TV show, Seinfeld (1989-1998). According to the book by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong, Seinfeldia (2017), Seinfeld approached David for help while developing the show in 1988. In an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000- ), which consists of largely improvised dialogue, Seinfeld said to David, "How many years did we work together? We would get so tired, we spent so many hours together. We would divulge the most intimate details of our personal lives, right? [David: Right.] Like twins in a womb, right? That's how we did this show. [David: Right.]"

Samuel Beckett (4/13/1906, Aries Horse), Suzanne Dechevaux-Dumesnil (1/7/1900, Capricorn Pig) : The celebrated writer and pianist began an affair in the 1930s and married in 1961. They were died within months of each other in 1989, and are buried together in Paris. Professor of Drama at Trinity College Dublin, Nicholas Johnson, has described: "[Dechevaux-Dumesnil] is very under-represented in the scholarship about Beckett. Her impact on the work is absolutely enormous. Just in practical terms, it was Suzanne who goes to the publishers with his novels when they come back to Paris, so she acts like an agent really at a time when he doesn't seem capable of self-promotion. So I think she was probably quite forceful and functional in ways."

Missy Elliott and Aaliyah

Aaliyah (1/16/1979, Capricorn Horse), Missy Elliott (7/1/1971, Cancer Pig) : The two singers were close friends and collaborators, with Elliott contributing more than half of the songs on Aaliyah's album, One in a Million (1996). Writing after Aaliyah's tragic death in a plane crash in 2001, Elliott described: "[It was like [Aaliyah] was my little sister. We would hang out, go shopping together, or she would come to my house or we’d hang out in the studio. Our relationship went beyond the work we did together. We felt we had created a new sound, but it wasn’t like we just did records and that was it. It was more of a family vibe than just work. We could tell each other anything."

Zoe Saldana (6/19/1978, Gemini Horse), Mila Kunis (8/14/1983, Leo Pig) : The two actors share a strong friendship, and have collaborated in the films, Get Over It (2001), After Sex (2007), and Blood Ties (2013). Speaking in 2018, at the ceremony for Soldana receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Kunis described: "When [Soldana] loves, she is all in. She’s all-in for her family, her friends and all-in for her work. I admire you as a person, a wife, a mother, a sister, a businesswoman and as an actress. While the world knows you for the characters you have played, I have the privilege of knowing the working mom behind the scenes...She is loud. Like, no joke, her superpower is volume. Walk into Zoe’s house and they are screaming, in English, in Spanish, in Italian. It is the loudest love you’ll ever receive in your life. The loudest love I’ve ever heard."

The own-sign match of firstwest and secondwest gives this relationship the blessing of a common outlook, albeit that overfamiliarity may lead to a lack of excitement from time to time.
