It's interesting to me to notice Scorpio-Capricorn relationships because Scorpio likes to go off the beaten track, Capricorn wants to stay on it. I'm afraid that Caps don't realize what a wet-blanket effect they have on others when said others are enthusiastically (passionately) discussing their plans for the future, and they say: "You're weird!" or: "Well! If you like that sort of thing!" or: "I don't know how you make any money out of it." Or they try to tell you what to do; you have to be strong to fight back.

Just curious as to why they do this; I feel this sort of behaviour most strongly in Capricorn Suns/Venus - particularly Aqua with Cap Venus. There is pride in being as traditional as possible and a certain cynicism, particularly directed towards the arts. (Some might call this a BS detector... )

(Disclaimer: I don't refer to ALL Capricorns here, just a few I have known, and you certainly don't sound like it, AcousticGod!)

Ok..like I said elsewhere I'm a weird one. I can be inspirational to people HOWEVER I think because i actually care about them, I don't want them to get hurt and I feel as though they should be more realistic and expect both outcomes.. good and bad instead of getting all happy and excited about the good..and then if it doesn't turn out, it'd dampen their enthusiasm.. I can't get completely excited about the prospect of something, before I've actually done it.. like untill it's set in stone.. because i feel like I'm jinxing it.. I'd actually rather set myself up for worst case scenario and be pleasantly surprised than do the opposite and get hurt by it..

But being an Aries, I like motivating people.. only not when being TOO positive is just not realistic..

Unfortunately, the words "Saturn" & "patronizing" are loosely related Do you think it's a self-protection mechanism? Do they have control issues? Do they feel safer where limits are set?
Good that your Dad was an Aries, Sue, Aries understands the concept of "the sky's the limit" better!!!

I was going to be sensitive about the first post's mention of the arts, because I love the arts.

Between a Cap and an Aries I think you get the opposite extremes of how to go about initiating things. Aries are said to have a tendency to plunge right in, almost as soon as the thought reaches their mind. Capricorns on the other hand gets an idea, thinks about it, talks it over, deliberates on the safest most practical route, figures out whether or not it's worth the energy, and then MIGHT start working on it.

I think our ultra-conservatism keeps us from believing in or having faith in the methods of others. What can I say other than, "Don't let us bother you when making your plans." Also, asking our opinion can be a really bad idea as we have a tendency of giving an honest reply.

As an Aries sun, moon, mars, Cap rising - married to a Cap sun - I must chime in and say yes, yes, yes. Is this ever true!! I get an idea and I start right in, working on it. Because of my Cap rising, I can't quit until the work is completed. My husband, on the other hand, takes forever coming up with THE PLAN. By the time he his weighed every angle and detail, I could have done the project (15) times over.

Yet, we own a small manufacturing company together and it has become very successful. All of my aries lands in his 10th house. I am consumed with responding to customers on time, to getting quotations and shipments out on time - and with ordering parts on time. My husband waits and waits and thinks about things before responding. Lots of opportunities could be lost while he is spending time hashing out the different outcomes. By the way, he is a brilliant man and there would be no company without him. He designs the products we sell.

Quess I am trying to say that a Cap/Aries relationship can be terrific - kind of filling the holes in the other person. I don't think our company would be as successful if we were not both involved. This is true of our personal relationship as well. We admire in each other the qualities that we separately lack. We have a more complete life because of each other -and we have grown as individuals because of each other.

Cap/Aries = a great combination
