Sagittarius and Capricorn personalities
Sagittarius
Sagittarians are exceptionally fun and always up for a laugh. They’re socially active, which makes sense: They’re usually instantly beloved and welcome in any room they find themselves in. While they generally skew happy-go-lucky, they still have that temper that characterizes fire signs. This temper flares when they meet someone close-minded, mean or negative. They love getting lost in a new area of interest or a conversation. Sometimes, this makes them easily distracted, but their confidence usually masks their lack of clarity.
Capricorn
Good luck finding a harder working, true blue companion than a Capricorn. This sign is highly loyal, but careful with who they decide to choose as a companion. They set high goals for themselves and usually attain them through sheer determination, encouraging those in their lives to follow their example. They can sometimes be judgmental in the name of self-preservation, but they respond well to consistency and stability, which they strive to provide. Although Capricorn can be stubborn, once you’ve gotten them to open up, they will have much more tolerance for hearing you out.
Overall Sagittarius and Capricorn compatibility
Sagittarius and Capricorn contrast due their elemental natures. Sagittarius is a fire sign that enjoys freedom and spontaneity while Capricorn, an earth sign, needs stability and discipline.

Friendship
These two have an opportunity to learn from one another. Sagittarius can show Capricorn a good time with their sense of adventure and Capricorn can show Sagittarius how to be a little more structured. But they might cramp each others' styles. Sagittarius might find Capricorn to be a little overbearing while Capricorn will think Sagittarius is too inconsistent.
Romance
The physical attraction between Sagittarius and Capricorn is very real. To keep it going, they will have to look deep and compromise. Capricorn may want commitment out of Sagittarius sooner or later. Sagittarius' extreme love for freedom makes it hard for them to settle down. If they can remember why they got together in the first place and see one another’s good qualities, this relationship can blend passion and stability.
Marriage
Marriage between Sagittarius and Capricorn is marked by respect and compromise. These will have to work things out in order to keep their union alive — and may grow in the process. Capricorn will let loose and Sagittarius will get in line. It’s possible these two traveled to take a long road in order to get to where they are today. They will come to appreciate one another's perspectives. Together they can transform into a couple that is balanced, strong and enriching.
Colleagues
Sagittarius and Capricorn have different ways of working. This may cause tension in the workplace if they do not find common ground and learn to collaborate. Sagittarius may find Capricorn to be uptight; Capricorn will think Sagittarius is unfocused. Sagittarius has the capacity to bring creativity and positive energy to a project while Capricorn can contribute stability and strategy. All these two need is clear communication on how to work with another and mutual respect. They can create a positive work environment by letting their dynamic qualities shine.
