Power struggles and disagreements about risk.
Over time
How an Aries–Capricorn relationship usually unfolds
- At first. Aries is impressed by Capricorn's authority, Capricorn by Aries' nerve; the early stage often looks more like a negotiation than a romance.
- Once settled. Both are cardinal signs that want to direct, so household and money decisions turn on who is in charge of what.
- What keeps it working. Splitting areas of command clearly — Aries starts, Capricorn plans — and not reopening the split in every argument.
