Gemini and Capricorn

Compatibility overview

This enigmatic match has traditionally had a something of a dubious reputation in Western astrology. However, while it is true that firstwest and secondwest have different instincts—often startlingly so—there is also something about their shared energy that just works. Given enough space, ultimately this can be a deeply rewarding and enjoyable combination.

Western signs that are five steps apart, like Capricorn and Gemini, are said to share a Quincunx (or inconjunct) aspect. Classical astrologers looked on this interval sceptically, thinking that Quincunx signs had almost nothing in common. Admittedly, the elements here—Earth for Capricorn, Air for Gemini—can be challenging to reconcile.

Gemini is Western astrology's great traveler, with an insatiable appetite for stimulating places, people, and above all ideas. Capricorn, on the other hand, has the rock-like stability of all Earth signs, with a sixth sense for power and strategy. Hence Gemini may find Capricorn to be restrictive or controlling, where Capricorn sees Gemini as unpredictable and lacking focus. Discipline also means quite different things to these two signs. Gemini believes in urgently prioritizing individual identity, of oneself and others. Capricorn, by contrast, works patiently to understand collective power structures. Capricorn will thus often see Gemini as distracted or wasteful in the long term, where Gemini views Capricorn as tedious in the moment. The curious thing about this combination, however, is that these tensions are rarely explosive or hostile. Instead, these two signs approach each other with a kind of mystified acceptance. This accepting attitude is probably the relationship's greatest asset.

Capricorn's Cardinal modality means they are initiators, always putting things in motion. This is a perfect complement to Gemini's Mutable energy, which represents closure and reflecting on where to next?. Capricorn and Gemini are therefore capable of collaborating beautifully, as long as they respect their essential differences and give each other plenty of room. Creative outputs can be quite sensational, benefitting from the signs' diverse personalities, combined with their mutual receptiveness and freedom. Affection, physical and otherwise, can also be delightfully open and enjoyable.

Capricorn and Gemini will need to make sure they deal with conflicts quickly, to make sure their contrary characters do not drift too far apart. With the right amount of distance, however, these two strange bedfellows can forge a uniquely rewarding and inspiring relationship.

Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara

Daryl Sabara (6/14/1992, Gemini Monkey), Meghan Trainor (12/22/1993, Capricorn Rooster) : The actor and singer started dating in 2016 and married in 2018. Referencing her song, "All About That Bass", which topped the charts in 58 countries, Trainor has described: "I never really felt sexy with guys before. No one expressed how they liked my body out loud in the bedroom until I met Daryl. He is obsessed with it—every inch. And that has improved my confidence more than even 'Bass' did."

Paul McCartney (6/18/1942, Gemini Horse), George Martin (1/3/1926, Capricorn Ox) : The musician and producer collaborated throughout the 1960s, after Martin signed and produced The Beatles. McCartney has described how, given his rock n' roll background, he resisted a string arrangement for the iconic song "Yesterday": "With the gentle bedside manner of a great producer...[Martin] took my chords that I showed him and spread the notes out across the piano, putting the cello in the low octave and the first violin in a high octave and gave me my first lesson in how strings were voiced for a quartet. When we recorded the string quartet at Abbey Road, it was so thrilling to know his idea was so correct that I went round telling people about it for weeks."

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis

Johnny Depp (6/9/1963, Gemini Rabbit), Vanessa Paradis (12/22/1972, Capricorn Rat) : The actor and singer/model were together for 14 years and had two children together. In 2010, Paradis described: "The fact that we're not together every day plays a big part in keeping our relationship stable. We also have a lot of respect and admiration for one another. We understand that, if we want our relationship to continue, we must give each other space, allow each other to go off on our own, and trust each other."

Jordyn Blum (5/28/1976, Gemini Dragon), Dave Grohl (1/14/1969, Capricorn Monkey) : The musician of Nirvana and Foo Fighters fame has been married to the model/filmmaker since 2003, and they have three children together. Grohl described how his family had affected him in 2010: "I used to tour nine months out of the year. Now I don’t like being away from my kids for more than 12 days. It’s changed everything that I do."

Bradley Cooper (1/5/1975, Capricorn Tiger), Clint Eastwood (5/31/1930, Gemini Horse) : The two director/actors collaborated and achieved great success with American Sniper and The Mule. After American Sniper, Cooper described: "First of all, you're so excited to come on the set every day because Clint Eastwood is there. That never gets old. It's like the most exciting thing and we became friends with him and we would hang out with him a lot—we would have dinner after and like hang out—so it was amazing."

The Rabbit and Sheep are one of the most magical pairings in the Chinese zodiac.

A central element of Chinese astrology is the four Trine Families into which the twelve signs divide. One of these consists of the Rabbit and Sheep (along with their most generous ally, the Pig). These signs are bound together by a mutual love of aesthetic beauty, relaxation, and empathy. In the company of some other signs, they can both be quite easily overwhelmed, given their profound sensitivity to perceived ugliness, noise or aggression. But together, they will tend to lose themselves quickly in a wonderful atmosphere of tranquility.

The Sheep will likely be fascinated by the Rabbit's abundant skills and deeply romantic sensibility. Instinctively secure in the Rabbit's company, the Sheep is apt to unleash a true charm offensive, delighting and reassuring the gentle Rabbit. Perhaps no other sign is as capable of expressing pure hypnotic joy as the Sheep when they are at ease! While early exchanges are likely to have a flirtatious quality even in entirely chaste surroundings, the closer these two become, the more likely they are to realise the powerful creative potential of their shared energy. For these two signs are artists in their marrow.

As a pair, the Rabbit and Sheep are capable of expressing their shared aesthetic with extraordinary elegance and refinement, whether in professional projects or in building a home and life together. Given the freedom and peace they need, the results will almost certainly be breathtaking.

Angelina Jolie (6/4/1975, Gemini Rabbit), Billy Bob Thornton (8/4/1955, Leo Sheep) : The two actors shared a high-profile relationship when they were married from 2000 to 2003. They were known for eccentric displays of affection, which included wearing vials of each other's blood, and Jolie gifting Thornton a pair of matching burial plots. In the foreword to Thornton's book, The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts (2012), Jolie wrote: "Through the years I’ve known Billy I’ve learned that not only was he as interesting, as truly original, as had been told to me, but that he was also so much more…Some people walk through life able to quiet the voices in their heads. He can’t. And I, and everyone else who knows him well, we love him for it. I know one thing: the world would certainly be a hell of a lot more dull if that man weren’t in it."

Michael Jordan (2/17/1963, Aquarius Rabbit), Yvette Prieto (3/26/1979, Aries Sheep) : The legenday basketballer and model married in 2013. They have two children, twins born in 2014. Jordan has described: "I can count on one hand the girls I have dated seriously. Yvette is the third and … the third time’s the charm. She’s a fantastic girl and I like her. Aside from her beauty, which is obvious, she is loving, simple and very good person."

Paul Sorvino (4/13/1939, Aries Rabbit), Mira Sorvino (9/28/1967, Libra Sheep) : The two actors were father and daughter. In accepting her Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1996, for Mighty Aphrodite (1995), Mira said, "When you give me this award you honor my father Paul Sorvino who taught me everything I know about acting." Writing about her speech later, Mira described: "My love for my father has only continued to grow since this moment. All the love in my heart! He is the most loving father, the most brilliant actor, the most beautiful operatic tenor, the most talented visual artist—the wisest and most human advice giver, & best Grandpa ever!!"

Dermot Mulroney (10/31/1963, Scorpio Rabbit), Julia Roberts (10/28/1967, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors are good friends, who worked together on the films, My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), and August: Osage County (2013). Mulroney described in 2016: "It doesn't always happen with every person that you love and work with -- you kind of go your separate ways. But we, against all odds, managed to maintain a great close friendship...[Roberts is] just one of the most genuine friends I have. She's a really generous person—great sense of humor and really caring. Great family, and she's been a good friend and role model for me."

Steve Jobs and Laurene Powell Jobs

Laurene Powell Jobs (11/6/1963, Scorpio Rabbit), Steve Jobs (2/24/1955, Pisces Sheep) : The two entrepreneurs were married from 1991 until Jobs' death in 2011. They had three children. Laurene Jobs described in 2020: "I can talk about him for hours. I met Steve when I was 25 years old. And from the day we met, we were together for 22 years. So he influenced everything. I grew up with him. Just like anyone that you share your life with, there’s an exchange and a robustness. We had a very, very beautiful and rich connection. We talked a lot, for hours every day. To pull out any one way in which he affected my worldview is impossible, because I have integrated so much of him."

Sidney Poitier (2/20/1927, Pisces Rabbit), Joanna Shimkus (10/30/1943, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1976 until Poitier died in 2022. Shimkus described in 1998: "I guess we were just destined to be [together]...It could be that we lead a very quiet life. It could be that it's just the way it is, I don't really know. But I never really did see him as a Black man. I mean, I know he is Black, but I just saw him as a man, and he was just a wonderful person. An amazing human being...The thing that attracted me to him the most, I think, is his integrity and his honesty [and] his loyalty to his family. He's just an amazing human being. He's just a good, good, good person. And he's cute too, yes! And he was especially gorgeous then. He still is too now, but he was very, very attractive then."

Mac Miller and Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar (6/17/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Mac Miller (1/19/1992, Capricorn Sheep) : The two rappers were friends who collaborated on songs including, "Fight the Feeling" (2012), and "God is Fair, Sexy Nasty" (2016). Speaking after Miller died tragically at age 26, Lamar described: "All in all that’s the type of person he was — just a good dude. Always made you feel good, just a great energy to have around...Great musician. Great writer. He just always had a smile on his face...No matter what he was going through, he didn’t make you feel sorry for him, you know? He was strong about it —always kept a smile on his face because he wanted you to smile, too. And that’s just something I always loved, you know, no matter whatever personal issues, he gave you that energy. He gave you that energy. It wasn’t no misery loves company with him, you know? He showed a smile and then you gave that smile right back. It made you feel good. So forever we’re gonna remember the life and we’re gonna remember that smile. Celebrate. Mac Miller. Love."
