Dec 22 – Jan 19
Sagittarius and Capricorn are one sign apart (30°, a semi-sextile)
Neighbors with different styles
Neighbors with different goals: Sagittarius seeks experience, Capricorn seeks achievement. Mutual respect turns contrast into balance.
Why: the angle between Sagittarius and Capricorn
Sagittarius and Capricorn are one sign apart (30°, a semi-sextile). Neighboring signs differ in element, modality and polarity. Each sign is traditionally seen as a reaction to the one before it, so you can learn a lot from each other, but your instincts rarely line up on their own.

Where it works and where it rubs
Elements. Fire wants to move now; Earth wants to plan and keep. You can achieve a great deal together if speed and caution are seen as strengths rather than criticism.
Modalities. A Cardinal sign sets the direction and a Mutable sign adapts and fills in the details.
Polarity. One active (Fire or Air) and one receptive (Earth or Water) sign: your basic energies complement rather than mirror each other.
