Communication & Mind

• Tools: Weekly 30-minute standup. Agenda: wins, blockers, requests. Keep it solution-focused.

• Pro tip: If Mercury signs clash, set “response windows” (e.g., 24 hours) to avoid pressure vs. ghosting dynamics.

Emotional Compatibility

Trust & Boundaries

• Logistics: Co-manage a shared to-do list. Cap handles maintenance deadlines; Sag handles discovery (deals, classes, events).
• Social life: Alternate host weeks and adventure weeks to balance hosting with exploration.
• Health: Cap likes steady programs; Sag likes challenges. Pick a quarterly goal (e.g., 10K race, hike series) and train differently, together.

Working Together & Money

• Money frames: Sagittarius is opportunity-driven; Capricorn is risk-managed. Set an “opportunity fund” and a “stability fund.”
• Career houses: Watch each person’s 2nd house (income), 6th house (work style), and 10th house (status/ambition) for alignment.
• Business pairing: Sag markets and networks; Cap builds ops and contracts. Decide thresholds for greenlighting experiments (budget, timeline, KPI).
• Purchases: Use a two-key system above a set amount. Sag proposes ROI and upside; Cap lists risks and mitigations.

Long-Term Potential for Capricorn & Sagittarius

• Mercury–Mars: Mercury trine Mars energizes dialogue; hard aspects need pause-and-paraphrase.
• Venus–Mars: Attraction peaks with Venus trine Mars or sextile; squares spark chemistry but can cause friction without aftercare.
• Jupiter: Jupiter to personal planets grows optimism and travel themes; but watch overpromising.
• Saturn: Saturn contacts give durability and shared responsibilities; align on standards to avoid feeling judged.
