Sagittarius and Capricorn compatibility

Sagittarius and Capricorn: hope meets realism, and it works with patience.

This reading uses your Sun signs only: their elements, modes and the angle between them. Here's why.

Why: Sagittarius is mutable fire and Capricorn is cardinal earth, 30° apart (a semi-sextile), so these neighbors are wired differently: Sagittarius wants freedom and possibility, Capricorn wants structure and results.
