All twelve signs, squared
144 combinations, one grid. Capricorn's own row is brighter. Hover any square on a desktop, tap on a phone, and you land on that pairing's full page.
Scores are symmetric — Capricorn with Cancer reads the same in both directions. There are 66 unique pairings, not 144.
Capricorn's pairings, ranked
Sorted highest to lowest by the same formula used everywhere on this site. The top three are not always the same elements, because modality matters as much as element.
Where Capricorn gets stretched
Low scores are not verdicts. They mean the element relationship runs against Capricorn's grain, which usually shows up as a difference in tempo rather than a lack of care.
♒︎ Aquarius · 53
Air scatters what earth tries to build. One plans, one talks about the plan.
♎︎ Libra · 54
Air scatters what earth tries to build. One plans, one talks about the plan.
♊︎ Gemini · 56

How the score is built
Compatibility scores on horoscope sites are usually invented. This one is not, so here is the entire method — you should be able to reproduce any number on this site by hand.
Element · 60% of the score
Every sign carries one of four elements. The pairing gets a value from a traditional four-elements table: same element scores highest, the two that feed each other (fire–air, earth–water) score high, and the two in tension (fire–water, air–earth) score lowest.
Modality · 40% of the score
Every sign is also cardinal, fixed or mutable. Cardinal initiates, fixed sustains, mutable adapts. Matching modalities reinforce each other; mismatched ones either complement or grind depending on which.
Two exceptions
Identical signs are scored as a mirror, and opposite signs as an axis, because neither follows the ordinary element rules. That is why Capricorn with Capricorn scores 76 and Capricorn with Cancer scores 80.
What this method deliberately does not claim: that a score predicts whether a relationship will work. It describes structure, not outcome. For the specific version, you need two real charts.
Capricorn compatibility questions
Who is Capricorn most compatible with?
By the same element-and-modality table used across this site, Capricorn scores highest with Cancer (80), Virgo (79), Taurus (76). Cancer is the strongest structural match because Water sits at the most compatible angle to Earth.
Who is Capricorn least compatible with?
The hardest pairings for Capricorn are Aquarius (53), Libra (54), Gemini (56). These score low because the element relationship runs against Capricorn's natural mode, not because anything is wrong with either sign.
What is Capricorn's element and modality?
Capricorn is a earth sign with cardinal modality. Earth signs process experience through concrete reality, and cardinal signs initiate things.
What does Capricorn score with itself?
Capricorn paired with Capricorn scores 76 (Mirror). Identical signs are scored separately from the element table, because you understand each other instantly and never surprise each other — which is exactly the risk.
Is Capricorn compatible with its opposite sign?
Capricorn's opposite is Cancer, and yes — opposite signs score high (80 in the axis category). They attract because they complete something one of them lacks, and they clash for the same reason.
How do I see all 144 zodiac combinations?
The full grid is on this page as a 12×12 matrix, and the 66 unique pairings each have their own page. We deliberately do not generate 144 pages, because half of them would be near-duplicates of the other half and that dilutes the whole set in search results.
