Capricorn Compatibility: How Cap the Goat Gets On With Every Star Sign

We asked Cap the Goat, the Capricorn Astrominal (22 December – 19 January), how Cap gets on with the other signs. It came back as a quarterly review, with targets, ratings out of ten and “areas for improvement” for every sign. We’ve left the ratings in. Cap insisted.

Pick a sign above to jump straight to it.

Aries

Cap + Arri

Arri wants to go through the mountain. I want to go up it, carefully, with a plan. We both reach the top. I’ve made a spreadsheet of the rocks he broke on the way.

Rating: 6/10. Strong energy. Must read the instructions.

Arri the Rhino, the Aries Astrominal

Taurus

Cap + Taur

Taur keeps everything calm, I keep everything moving. Together we’ve built a very efficient farm. Taur has built a very efficient nap.

Rating: 9/10. Reliable. Would hire again.

Taur the Bull, the Taurus Astrominal

Gemini

Cap + Gem & Eye

They change their plans more often than I check my emails, and I check my emails a lot. I’ve started a folder called “Gem & Eye: Changes”. It is now my biggest folder.

Rating: 5/10. Excellent communication. Too much of it.

Gem & Eye, the Gemini Astrominal

Cancer

Cap + Canny

My opposite sign. I climb the mountain, Canny stays at base camp making soup. I don’t need the soup. I always drink the soup. Canny knows.

Rating: 8/10. Soup quality: outstanding.

Canny the Crab, the Cancer Astrominal

Leo

Cap + Leo

We both want to be in charge. I do it by working very hard. Leo does it by being very shiny. So far the board can’t decide.

Rating: 7/10. Good leadership. Too much glitter in the budget.

Leo the Lion, the Leo Astrominal

Virgo

Cap + Virgo

Virgo has systems, I have goals. We once planned our plans, and then made a plan for reviewing the plans. It was the happiest week of my life.

Rating: 10/10. A perfect colleague. Already filed.

Virgo the Shy Sheep, the Virgo Astrominal

Libra

Cap + Libby

I say, “Do it now.” Libby says to everyone, “What Cap means is, whenever’s lovely, but now would be lovely.” Everyone does it now. And smiles. I don’t know how she does it.

Rating: 8/10. Diplomacy department, highly effective.

Libby the Flamingo, the Libra Astrominal

Scorpio

Cap + Score

Score always has a backup plan for my plan. Together, we could run the world. We’ve drawn up the organisation chart. Just in case.

Rating: 9/10. Strategic. Slightly frightening.

Score, the Scorpio Astrominal

Sagittarius

Cap + Sagg

Sagg wants a different mountain every day. I want one mountain, done properly. We’ve now climbed seven together, because I refuse to let Sagg get to a summit first.

Rating: 6/10. Fun. Unpredictable. Never has a map.

Sagg the Zebra, the Sagittarius Astrominal

Capricorn

Cap + Cap

Two goats, two to-do lists, and a race to see who can finish first. We both finished on Wednesday. It was due Friday.

Rating: 10/10. Obviously.

Cap the Goat, the Capricorn Astrominal

Aquarius

Cap + Aqua

Aqua invents the future. I work out how much it costs. Her last invention would have cost one billion pounds and done the washing-up.

Rating: 7/10. Brilliant. Must submit a budget.

Aqua the Pelican, the Aquarius Astrominal

Pisces

Cap + Pike

Pike drifts, I climb. Pike reminded me to stop and look at the view from the top. I hadn’t looked at the view in eleven years. It was quite nice.

Rating: 8/10. Unexpected benefits.

Pike the Fish, the Pisces Astrominal

Cap’s sign-off: If you’ve got a Capricorn in your life, we’re not bossy. We just have better ideas, and we’ve already written them down. Work hard, be on time, and you’ll have a friend who’ll climb any mountain with you.
