Signs three apart clash in style, which creates spark but also friction.

Aries and Capricorn in love

Fire is spontaneous and earth is steady, so the attraction comes from difference – and so do the arguments.

Aries loves with energy and honesty: quick to fall for someone, happiest with a partner who enjoys a challenge and keeps up the pace. Capricorn loves seriously and steadily: reserved at first, then committed for the long term, building a future step by step.

As friends

Fire gets earth out of the house; earth helps fire keep its feet on the ground.

At work

A useful mix if fire sets the pace and earth handles the plan. Both are cardinal signs – natural starters who like to lead – so they must share the driving seat.
