Scorpio and Capricorn can complement each other through respect for privacy and for each one’s motivations. They do not need to share all of their life to recognize the importance of the couple.
Scorpio can bring passion and intensity; Capricorn, a longer-range view and a sense of direction. Intimacy can also be an important space for both when the relationship allows them to express desires and explore forms of pleasure by mutual agreement.
Tension appears if Scorpio resorts to drama to get a response and Capricorn protects themselves with coldness. The more distant Capricorn seems, the more Scorpio’s reaction may intensify; the more intense that reaction becomes, the more Capricorn may close off.
They need to notice when one’s intensity is feeding the other’s withdrawal. Shared reserve can be a strength if they also find words to express what is happening within the bond.
