Sun-sign compatibility · Fire + Earth
♌︎ Leo + ♑︎ Capricorn compatibility
Fire meets Earth: slow forge. सिंह + मकर
What works
Fire wants to move; earth wants to finish. Frustrating at first, formidable once each learns the other's tempo.
Leo brings expression, warmth, visibility; Capricorn brings structure, patience, ambition. At their best, the pair turns those different instincts into a division of labor rather than a contest over whose style is correct.
Where friction appears
The signs sit 150 degrees apart. Neither style naturally confirms the other, so adjustment is continuous.
As a fixed sign, Leo protects continuity and resists being rushed; as a cardinal sign, Capricorn starts the movement and wants a visible decision. The repair is concrete: give Leo directness, momentum and room to act, while giving Capricorn reliability, useful effort and evidence over promises.

Communication and durability
Leo's ruler, Sun, emphasizes identity and vitality; Capricorn's ruler, Saturn, emphasizes structure and limits. The pairing lasts when neither person treats a different pacing or emotional language as a lack of commitment.
