Capricorn and Aquarius

Compatibility overview

The minor Semi-Sextile aspect, where any two signs occur one after the other, is as curious as any in the Western zodiac. The analogy of “next-door neighbors” is particularly apt. Like neighbors who have chosen to live in almost identical surrounds, it is easy to assume these two must have plenty in common. Yet the reality is far more complicated.

Being next to each other around the Western zodiac wheel, Aquarius and Capricorn share a Semi-Sextile connection. This is one of only two so-called minor influences (with the Quincunx), and from the beginning the subtlety of this energy brings a strange mixture of liberation and uncertainty.

The Aquarian element of Air is often seen as incompatible with the Earth of Capricorn. Where Capricorn prizes concrete accomplishment and material success, Aquarius is far more conceptual, more intellectually oriented. The result for many Aquarius / Capricorn matches is often, just like many real-life neighbors, an initial standoffishness. These two can be instinctively distant, respectful but wary. Ultimately, though, this hesitancy can result in a missed opportunity. The Cardinal modality of Capricorn is highly compatible with the Fixed modality of Aquarius. Also, in contrast to other minor aspects, such as the Quincunx, the sense of difference here can be most obvious early in a relationship.

Successful Aquarius / Capricorn pairings have discovered that, if they are able to progress beyond the initial boundaries between them, their union can prove more rewarding than they would ever have imagined.

Edward Burns and Christy Turlington Burns

Edward Burns (1/29/1968, Aquarius Sheep), Christy Turlington Burns (1/2/1969, Capricorn Monkey) : The actor/director and supermodel married in 2003, and have two children. Christy Turlington wrote in 2011, "From the moment I became pregnant, Eddie supported all of my maternal instincts in pursuing our birth options. He was as involved as I needed him to be and then when our children were infants, he took on as much of the burden as I was willing to relinquish. These were not always harmonious periods of time for us as a couple; let’s face it, as joyous as becoming a parent is, it is challenging for every one of us on some level. But we have come out as great friends and true partners and our kids will hopefully grow up remembering their parents as a team."

Nicolas Cage (1/7/1964, Capricorn Rabbit), Lisa Marie Presley (2/1/1968, Aquarius Monkey) : Academy award-winning actor Cage and singer/songwriter Presley, who were married from 2002 to 2004, were for a time one of the highest-profile celebrity couples in the world. Presley recounted later: "[I]t was one of those things where you're marrying hoping that you're going to either stabilize it or it's going to, you know, accentuate all that was going on prior to what was problematic. So it kind of did the latter, that's all."

David Bowie and Philip Glass

Philip Glass (1/31/1937, Aquarius Rat), David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog) : The celebrated contemporary classical composer Glass wrote two symphonies based on the Low (1977) and Heroes (1977) albums by his friend, the rock superstar Bowie. Glass described, "We lived close to each other in New York. There were periods when we saw each other a lot and other periods when we didn’t – I never knew exactly where he was or where he was going to be and sometimes we didn’t see each other for years, but we were always in touch and talked about how things were going . He was an extremely gifted and interesting person and musician. We had both a friendship and a working relationship."

Neil Diamond (1/24/1941, Aquarius Dragon), Elvis Presley (1/8/1935, Capricorn Dog) : Singer Neil Diamond's classic hit, "Sweet Caroline" (1969) became a mainstay of Presley's live performances during the 1970s. Recalling a time he declined an invitation to join the King on stage, Diamond explained: "You know I thought about it over the years, what would I do, what songs would we do, and it's not a good idea to come up and sing with another performer when it's their show and it's their band, I do know that. And I'm glad I didn't because I don't think it would have been a good idea to touch that, you know, the hem of the god. He was amazing. He was warm and very generous to me, and I think it's best left at that."

Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy

Carla Bruni (12/23/1967, Capricorn Sheep), Nicolas Sarkozy (1/28/1955, Aquarius Sheep) : The former President of France (2007-2012) and former supermodel married during his presidency in 2008. They have one child. In 2020, Bruni attributed the success of the relationship to: "[Equality and balance from the beginning, and]...good timing. Twenty years ago, [Sarkozy] would have needed a woman who was more devoted to him. And I would never have taken a man who has such a strong, dominating temper. But we met when we were strong enough for each other."

Mary Steenburgen (2/8/1953, Aquarius Dragon), Ted Danson (12/29/1947, Capricorn Pig) : The two accomplished actors have been married since 1995. They had both been previously married and divorced when they co-starred in the film, Pontiac Moon (1994). Recounting a scene where they canoed together, Danson explained: "We paddled in sync...We went out as friends and by the time we came back, we were in love... Ironic how life works in those moments. Once you throw up your arms and surrender, a lot of times things come your way."

Sheep and Sheep

Compatibility overview

A pairing between two Sheep natives is a standout match, not just among own-sign matches, but among all matches in the Chinese zodiac. Naturally, the overlap between these personalities results in occasional overfamiliarity. But the Sheep's artistic sensibilities and gentle nature mean they are well-equipped to resolve problems and concentrate on the good things in life—not least each other.

Chinese astrology is built on the foundation of the four Trine Families. The family of the Sheep (which also includes the Pig and Rabbit) is well known for their love of beauty, peace, and coziness. Two Sheep together thus share a bedrock of values that are close to their heart.

Early conversations will likely emphasize the importance of family, as well as artistic subjects of various kinds, for the Sheep is one of the most naturally creative and visionary of all the Chinese zodiac signs. Because they are also highly sensitive to disruptions of one kind or another, two Sheep will also frequently bond over things they don't like. Cruelty, injustice, and ugliness are usually anathema to these idealist souls, and sharing their romantic outlook with a fellow Sheep can be a source of profound existential comfort. Naturally, as time passes, having so much in common can make for close and lasting friendships and professional collaborations, as well as gentle and intimate personal relationships.

A pair of Sheep will have to keep a lookout for the effect of anxiety on their shared lives. Sheep natives can sometimes be just as worried about potential or imagined disturbances as real ones. Without the calming influence of contrary energy, these two might sometimes be guilty of stressing unnecessarily or over-reacting, using a sledgehammer to crush a walnut so to speak. Clear strategies to address paranoia or excessive sensitivity are likely to prove useful. Fortunately, the Sheep personality is adept at seeking out and maintaining the tranquility they need to be at their happiest and most productive.

Two Sheep working together will usually be able to shake off their anxieties quickly and fulfil themselves in the ways they cherish most—with highly original creativity, joyful conversation, and blissful environments. Having such desires in common, there is a strong prospect that in any context, two Sheep will form a lasting and intensely rewarding bond.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban

Nicole Kidman (6/20/1967, Gemini Sheep), Keith Urban (10/26/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The actor and singer have been married for 15 years and have two children together. Urban has described how he entered rehab for addiction within months of their wedding, saying, "I caused the implosion of my fresh marriage. It survived, but it’s a miracle it did. For the first time in my life, I could shake off the shackles of addiction." Later, speaking of the support Urban provided after the death of her father, Kidman said, "To have my husband to step up in that way, it makes me cry. He’s amazing. I will keep him. I’ll do anything for that man."

Imelda Staunton (1/9/1956, Capricorn Sheep), Mike Leigh (2/20/1943, Pisces Sheep) : The actor and director worked together on the multi-award-winning films, Vera Drake (2004) and Another Year (2010). Staunton described in 2005: "Mike empowers you as an actor. We created together the character of Vera [Drake] from the day she was born. The creative process was long but very fulfilling, because it involved improvisations and extensive research of the whole period...The sessions with Mike are always very personal, one-to-one. During that time, you don’t talk to the other actors at all. You don’t exchange notes about what you're doing, or what they're doing. Each one of us only talks to Mike. My sessions with Mike varied in length, but they were always one-to-one."

Bonnie Wright and Evanna Lynch

Evanna Lynch (8/16/1991, Leo Sheep), Bonnie Wright (2/17/1991, Aquarius Sheep) : The two actors co-starred in the Harry Potter film series, and have gone on to share a friendship based on similar commitments to activism. Promoting an event to publicize Wright's book, Go Gently: Actionable Steps to Nurture Yourself and the Planet (2022), Lynch posted in 2022: "Over the past few years, I’ve been very inspired by Bonnie’s lifestyle and her passion and commitment to sustainability and to making sustainable practices accessible for everyone. I’ve seen her in many different settings gently but consistently advocate for zero-waste facilities, and each time, it jolted me into realising how wasteful and careless of the planet my normal everyday habits become, unless I consciously choose otherwise...I have LOTS of questions for Bonnie!! And I cannot wait to ask them and be part of this conversation on May 10th!"

Jason Momoa (8/1/1979, Leo Sheep), Lisa Bonet (11/16/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The couple were together for 16 years and married for five. Early in the relationship, they made headlines because of the 12-year age difference—when they met, Momoa was 25, Bonet 37. They have two children together and remain close after separating in 2022. A joint statement issued after the separation described: "We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding — and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring...The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other — to be who we are learning to become…Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life and our Children."

Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner

Leonard Nimoy (3/26/1931, Aries Sheep), William Shatner (3/22/1931, Aries Sheep) : The two actors were close friends who created one of the most iconic on-screen relationships of all time, as Captain Kirk and Spock in the original Star Trek film and TV series. Shatner described in his book, Nimoy, Leonard: My Fifty-Year Friendship With a Remarkable Man (2016) that the pair grew apart later in life, which Shatner has described with great regret: "No, [I never understood why,] and [Nimoy] was my dearest friend. We talked about all kinds of things in the darkness of the limousine, about divorce and children. But something happened, I don’t know what, it was so bizarre. But his daughter told me not long ago: 'He really loved you.' And that moved me to tears."

Barbara Eden (8/23/1931, Virgo Sheep), Larry Hagman (9/21/1931, Virgo Sheep) : The two actors displayed memorable chemistry as the stars of I Dream of Jeannie (1965-1970), in spite of Hagman's famously erratic behavior and alcoholism. They later appeared together on the show, Dallas (1978-1991), and in the play, Love Letters. Eden has said that there was never a romantic relationship between them, although, "We just...we clicked. We had the same rhythm. We’ve got the same truth out of whatever we were doing. I loved him a lot." Eden described that once, when she was upset after an incident on set, Hagman comforted her: "Don't cry, Barbara. That's my act."

Mick Jagger and Keith Richards

Mick Jagger (7/26/1943, Leo Sheep), Keith Richards (12/18/1943, Sagittarius Sheep) : The two founding members of The Rolling Stones knew each other as children, and have shared a lifelong collaboration that is one of the most famous working relationships of all time. Richards described in 2021: "It's almost indescribable. When Mick and I are out there [on stage] working, we both know that, ‘Hey, I'm counting on you.’ And there's a beautiful jousting and also like a support. That's where I feel my friendship with Mick more intensely than at any other time he's on stage. You know, I have his back. He has mine. It's an interesting piece of improvisation goes on every night and it's like, how far do you want to push it? And that's half the fun of it. It's never the same, this show, there's no script."


Combined Relationship Horoscope

Final Words

The semi-Sextile match of firstwest and secondwest contains the seeds of a life-changingly close and supportive collaboration—if they can progress beyond early wariness, for their stark differences are usually apparent immediately. The shared energy of the Chinese zodiac’s firsteast sign may at times bring a lack of excitement or problems resolving disagreements, but these two can usually be relied on to see the world in the same way. Overall, then, this is a relationship with a firm foundation, and significant long-term opportunities for mutual reassurance and reward.
