Scorpio and Capricorn Compatibility

There are numerous types of relationships to explore when considering compatibility between two signs. We grow up in a parent/child dynamic. Outside our family, we form friendships with other children and eventually other adults. We look for and find love. And, we go to work and have careers, interacting with employers and co-workers.

Each sign-to-sign interaction guides our behavior in every relationship. Read through this section to find out how each of the above dynamics works astrologically so you can experience the optimal way to communicate and get along with your sign and all the other signs.

Generally Speaking

The Scorpio-and-Capricorn interaction can be one of the best, which is often the case when earth signs mix with water signs. Scorpio is the “I transform” sign of the Zodiac, and is intense, powerful, and a change agent. Capricorn is the “I produce” sign of the Zodiac and is responsible, goal-driven, and practical. A long-term relationship (outside parent/child) is very possible and highly likely. In essence, this match is the ideal power couple with the King or Queen on the throne and a ruthless advisor supporting them.

Scorpio Parent/Capricorn Child

The Scorpio parent and Capricorn child can make for an especially strong relationship. The Scorpio parent is here to teach the Capricorn child how to manage change and use power. This guidance is very helpful to the Capricorn child, who has an intense desire to succeed and grow up fast. A Scorpio parent can give a child the knowledge and skills to overcome adversity, which is ideal for the Capricorn child, and why they work well together even when the fixed sign (Scorpio) is in charge.

Capricorn Parent/Scorpio Child

The Capricorn parent and Scorpio child will be among the strongest alignments. The Capricorn parent will help the Scorpio child understand the importance of holding people accountable, setting goals, and being responsible. A Capricorn parent can be quite demanding, with high expectations, which a Scorpio child can meet if they learn how to focus their intensity to reach their goals. The child will enjoy trying to achieve what their Capricorn parent expects, which is for them to perform at a high level without fanfare or glory because achieving at a high level is what you are supposed to do.

Scorpio Friend/Capricorn Friend

Scorpio and Capricorn friendships are likely to be strong and enduring. Scorpio likes to transform and get to the depths of others. Capricorn is all business and prefers to lead in ways that result in prosperity for all. In truth, they can both succeed at high levels working together and can make each other better by reinforcing each other’s strengths. A positive and lasting friendship will be the result of repeated successes doing things together as friends, having a strong impact on their other relationships, and maybe even taking over the world.

Scorpio Lover/Capricorn Lover

This romance, love, sex combination can be very physical and relentless. All earth signs enjoy the pleasures of the body, taking care of their health, and long-term commitments that bring prosperity and safety through material success. Love is a healthy bank account, savings, a nice home, good food, and plenty of sex. For Scorpio, love is fearless, demanding, and a way to increase one’s power in the world. Both signs will have no problem indulging with each other as part of the rewards of hard work in their lives together.

Scorpio Employer/Capricorn Employee

The Scorpio employer and the Capricorn employee can work well together so long as the Capricorn can be promoted and keep achieving new goals. Scorpio wants to see all his or her employees win and get the job done, and Capricorn can be a team player if he or she can rise in power. The Capricorn, who is self-motivated, will find benefits from a boss who understands their need to keep achieving. So long as their pursuit of success meets the Scorpio boss’s expectations for proving oneself capable and better than the competition, all is well.

Capricorn Employer/Scorpio Employee

If the employer is a Capricorn and the employee is Scorpio, this dynamic is just as powerful. Capricorn needs employees that can be ruthless, uncompromising, and relentless, which Scorpio, in business, can do. This setup is certainly one that leverages the leadership energy of the cardinal sign (Capricorn) and the enduring energy of the fixed sign (Scorpio). Combined, this employer/employee relationship will steamroll to success and walk triumphantly over the bones of their competitors.

Scorpio Co-worker/Capricorn Co-worker

This combination requires almost no effort on the part of management; they will manage themselves just fine, either individually or as a team. If they do need to work together, they will excel past any other combination of co-workers. They can handle high-pressure situations better than any other match. They are both dedicated and determined, so they will enjoy being co-workers in a business.
