Neighbouring signs, 30° apart (a semi-sextile). Side by side on the wheel, you share little by nature, and each sign tends to react against the one before it. The bond asks for patience, and it teaches.
The elements
Earth and air are unlike elements: in the old language one is active and the other receptive. This is no verdict against you, but you will have to learn each other’s language, because what feels natural to one can feel foreign to the other.
In love
In love, Capricorn is serious, loyal and slow to open, but builds lasting bonds; it shows love through responsibility.
In love, Aquarius needs friendship, freedom and an original partner; it loves the mind first and fears being possessed.
Counsel
Make room for joy along the way; the summit is not the only reward.
Let your heart be as open as your mind.

What this comparison can and cannot say
This compares only the Sun signs, as the old almanacs did. A real comparison of two people, called synastry, reads both whole charts: the Moon, Venus, Mars and the Ascendant often matter more than the Sun. Read this as a first sketch, not a verdict.
