Capricorn is cardinal earth; Scorpio is fixed water. Nothing shared on either axis. Understanding each other is a deliberate act rather than a default.

Sun signs are one factor among many, and astrology itself treats them as a starting point rather than a verdict. Two full charts describe far more than two birthdays do.
