Capricorn and Pisces

Compatibility overview

This calm and supportive energy is one of the treasures of the Western zodiac. The combination of firstwest and secondwest has an understated quality, usually more in the manner of a trusted confidant than Romeo and Juliet. However, the energy these two share has boundless potential for encouragement, kindness, and reliability.

An interval of two steps around the Western zodiac wheel, as there is between Capricorn and Pisces, forms a Sextile connection. This famously relaxed, nurturing energy means these two typically enjoy a shared freedom from tension or constraints from the very beginning.

Capricorn's patient commitment to achieve mastery in their chosen field holds a visceral appeal for the wise, sensitive Pisces. Capricorn's intuition for power means they have a rare appreciation for the diplomatic and caring side of Pisces' nature, as well as the depth of insight and hard work Pisces can provide when they are comfortable. The elements here—Earth for Capricorn and Water for Pisces—are reliably harmonious, lending themselves to natural dependence and co-existence. The modalities are equally compatible. Capricorn is a Cardinal sign, an always-beginning energy synonymous with ideas and projects at their most pure and formative, while Pisces' Mutable nature brings a reflective emphasis on consequences, effects, and implications. Hence these two are extremely effective collaborators. In an easygoing atmosphere balancing good humor with comfortable silences, Capricorn contributes perseverance and astuteness, while Pisces brings perception and empathy.

Predictably for a Sextile coupling, both these signs usually retain a strong sense of their individual identity. This is often a relationship that these two can return to as regularly or infrequently as they choose, safe in the knowledge that the warmth and encouragement they share will be just as dependable as ever. In fact, if there is a qualification for Capricorn and Pisces, it is that the energy between them can be too relaxed at times. Affection here is more gently protective than intense or passionate, meaning this connection can sometimes be taken for granted or not prioritized. Capricorn and Pisces may find the very lack of pressure between them causes them to take a back seat in each other's lives, even when that might not be the path most conducive to their shared happiness.

On the plus side, the natural flexibility of this energy means it is capable of narrowing or widening as circumstances require. In whatever context, and however much or little time these two signs spend together, there is every chance the dependable qualities of reassurance, motivation, and tenderness will enrich both of their lives.

Cheryl and Ron Howard

Cheryl Howard (12/23/1953, Capricorn Snake), Ron Howard (3/1/1954, Pisces Horse) : The actor/director and actor met in high school. They have been married since 1975 and have four children. Howard has described: "People say, ‘How’d you do it?’ There’s no technique. There’s no tactic other than communication is really important. You have to learn to communicate and have difficult conversations in constructive ways. Beyond that, there’s an element of luck because people either grow together or they don’t and I don’t think you can force that."

Rod Stewart (1/10/1945, Capricorn Monkey), Penny Lancaster (3/15/1971, Pisces Pig) : The singer and model have been married for 14 years and have two children. Stewart has described: "Intimacy is the most important thing in a relationship. Don't take it for granted. I'm not talking about sex, but a kiss and a cuddle and a hold. Penny and I do that every morning. We hug each other — sometimes in bed, sometimes out of bed, all throughout the day. It's a wonderful relationship."

Cary and Jennifer Grant

Cary Grant (1/18/1904, Capricorn Rabbit), Jennifer Grant (2/26/1966, Pisces Horse) : The two actors were father and daughter. At one time one of the most famous actors in the world, Cary Grant famously retired from acting in 1966, after Jennifer was born, to devote himself to her upbringing. In her book, Good Stuff: A Reminiscence of My Father, Cary Grant, Jennifer describes: "To me, [my father] was like a marvelous painting. All the art historians wish to break down the motives, and the scheme, and so on. I would rather know, as I do, his essence. I believe that at the heart of a person lies passion. For the last twenty years of his life, I was given the extraordinary privilege to experience the full, vital passion of his heart. Dad used the expression 'good stuff' to declare happiness or, as one of his friends put it, he said it when pleased with the nature of things. He said it a lot. He had a happy way of life. His life was 'good stuff.'"

Mary Tyler Moore (12/29/1936, Capricorn Rat), Bernadette Peters (2/28/1948, Pisces Rat) : The two actors were close friends before Moore's death in 2017. Together, they co-founded Broadway Barks, an annual dog and cat adoption event benefiting New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies. About vacationing together, Peters described: "Mary was always the planner. Mary was always the one who would say, ‘We wanna go to the Bahamas, and we're gonna swim with the dolphins.' She was the one that always came up with the ideas and the adventures and things to do. Life was precious to her, and she knew if she kept moving that was healthy for her."

Niki Lauda and Lewis Hamilton

Lewis Hamilton (1/7/1985, Capricorn Rat), Niki Lauda (2/22/1949, Pisces Ox) : The two Formula One world champions became close friends, after Lauda was instrumental in luring Hamilton to drive for his Mercedes team in 2013. Speaking after Lauda's death in 2019, Hamilton described: "I just so miss talking to the dude, I miss his texts, the videos we shared. I still have them. I’ve kept them and still revisit them. Without his support I probably wouldn’t have made the switch to come to this team...That’s what he was best at – support and being real...To have someone talking to the [Formula One] board who understands and empathises how difficult it is to deliver weekend after weekend, when you make a mistake. That is where he was such a great pillar for me...When he took his hat off [in salute to an achievement in the car] or he goes like this [the finger/thumb gesture indicating something very close to a skirting disaster limit], you knew it was real, that you’d really done something. I miss him a lot."

James Earl Jones (1/17/1931, Capricorn Horse), Cecilia Hart (2/19/1948, Pisces Rat) : The two actors were married from 1982 until Hart's death in 2016, and had one child together. Receiving a Lifetime Achievement award at the Tony awards in 2017, Jones said: "I want to thank my wife Ceci for being such a wonderful companion in my life and in my work. And for being the great coproducer of our son Flynn and for being so dazzling on the red carpet."

Lou Reed and David Bowie

David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog), Lou Reed (3/2/1942, Pisces Horse) : The two legendary musicians were friends who collaborated multiple times, including when Bowie co-produced (with Mick Ronson) Reed's landmark album, Transformer. Reed described in 2004: "How can I remember my first impression of David Bowie? That’s really… [smiles] Okay… I mean, David and I are friends to this day. He’s very smart and very, very talented, and I met him in New York and thought, ‘This guy would be a fun guy to work with; we could really bring something to the dance.’"

Like the elements in Western astrology, the four Trine Families that are central to Eastern astrology divide naturally into two compatible pairs. One such pair comprises the family of the Horse (with the Dog and Tiger) and the family of the Rabbit (with the Pig and Sheep). The Horse and Rabbit may not be the most attention-grabbing match between these two families, but they still profit from the auspicious surrounding energy.

It's not always obvious, given their swashbuckling, go-it-alone character, but the Horse is an idealist at heart. The sensitivity and artistry of the Rabbit thus appeal greatly to the Horse's core values. The Rabbit's gentle nature can also put the Horse at ease, helping them to relax and open up in a way they seldom allow themselves with other signs. The Rabbit, meanwhile, can be easily rattled or disturbed on their own. The Horse's independent spirit fortifies the Rabbit, making them less vulnerable to criticism or drama. This frees the Rabbit to pursue their talents with an unperturbed mind, at peace with the world.

These two will need to keep an eye out for distance between them occasionally. Mutual admiration need not always translate into the strongest alliance. Both parties should make sure the other knows just how much they are valued or loved. The Horse and Rabbit also need to maintain the protection the relationship provides. The Horse is by nature more forceful and independent-minded, and can be selfish or blunt. If outside influences, insensitivity, or neglect are allowed to threaten the cocoon-like quality of this relationship, problems may ricochet around without resolution, especially for the more delicate Rabbit.

Fortunately, the underlying positive energy here means that strategies to avoid potential challenges are likely to work well. This is a relationship that may function best with each party having their own sphere to work in, then joining together to enjoy the special connection they share. Ultimately, these two are likely to recognize and trust in the goodness in the other's heart, which can be a cornerstone of a lasting, nourishing, and inspiring bond.

Taika Waititi (8/16/1975, Leo Rabbit), Rita Ora (11/26/1990, Sagittarius Horse) : The director and singer are rumoured to have become a couple around April 2021 and married quietly during 2022. Ora has said about the relationship: "I've always wanted the fairytale, that's what I grew up loving. For me, it was always about that love, finding a partner, so I'm really happy I did."

Ali MacGraw (4/1/1939, Aries Rabbit), Steve McQueen (3/24/1930, Aries Horse) : The respective stars of Bullitt and Love Story were married from 1973 to 1978. McGraw said in 2018: "He was incredibly attractive most of the time but there was also danger, there was bad boy there. I wish we had both grown old sober. There were wonderful days and dreadful days."

Mackenzie Davis and Kristen Stewart

Mackenzie Davis (4/1/1987, Aries Rabbit), Kristen Stewart (4/9/1990, Aries Horse) : The two actors starred together in the film Happiest Season, said to be "the first mainstream festive romcom about a same-sex couple". Stewart described how the obvious on-screen chemistry never felt forced: "[Davis] is such a real person. I wanted this couple, and the way that we represented these individuals, to feel really casual, sort of self-assured. And Mackenzie is fun and infectious, and she has a confidence that I find contagious. It was really important for me to show a queer couple feeling cool and comfortable and in their own skin. I can’t watch this movie and be like, it’s kind of [expletive]. Anyway, luckily, Mackenzie exists, and there you go."

Jerrod Carmichael (4/6/1987, Aries Rabbit), Bo Burnham (8/21/1990, Leo Horse) : The two comedians are close friends. Burnham directed Carmichael's HBO comedy specials 8 (2017) and Rothaniel (2022), the latter during which Carmichael came out as gay. Carmichael has described: "[Burnham]’s the friend of my dreams, in a way. I’m really happy that we found each other. I trust him with my life, in all ways. And so a lot of the moments you see in Rothaniel, the reason I was able to go there is because he's directing. It's like my best friend's directing, and I can give everything. I don't have to hide anything, that I can take down any wall. He's the best friend you could ask for. He really protected me."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

As a Sextile combination, firstwest and secondwest typically share an effortless, joy-filled dynamic, with the only real problem the possibility that they might not take it as seriously as other matches in their lives. For this pair, there is a similarly stress-free combination on the Chinese zodiac side as well, for the firsteast and secondeast share a natural affinity that is highly compatible, even if at times it seems more akin to friendly repartee than star-crossed-lover intensity. Overall, this is a beautiful foundation for any relationship, one with perhaps even greater potential than might appear.
