ie. i noticed that an aquarius friend and i have different approaches.

so we both have a cause we believe in but he (aqu) prefers to wax lyrical and preach about it all day everyday to everyone; whereas i (cap) don't bother much about talking about it other than to make people aware if it comes up in conversation but i'm going into a job where i'm basically going to be in the trenches dealing with it.

so in what other ways do caps and aquarius' differ in their approach?

I'm okay with Aquarius taking the lead.

They understand things faster and tend to have a broader vision. Oprah and Ellen Degeneres are both Aquarians. They can keep up with their guests and be interesting right on the spot. Whereas Capricorn needs time for everything.

Capricorn = launch pad, mission control
Aqua = spacecraft, escape velocity
Pisces = space itself

funny enough id prefer to have a pisces take the lead, because aquarius i know they do have that broader vision you mentioned but there's not much follow through. all talk no action.

pisces, maybe it's that emotional watery side to them, that compels them to do something about it otherwise they'll get upset. water, is on the same level as earth.

And if you're comfortable saying so...which age group are you in?

When I was younger, I was usually so put off by Aquarians' superior attitude and eccentricity that I couldn't be bothered with them. They genuinely got on my nerves. They wouldn't listen, just assumed they knew everything already when they clearly did not. It's pretty exasperating for Capricorn to deal with Aqua's shortcomings...I think that where Aqua is weak, Cap is strong, and vice versa.

The two signs are pretty similar in some ways, including our shared competitive streak.

Capricorn doesn't want to let Aqua "win" because we see how reckless they can be. It's like we try and exert a stronger gravitational force on them, to hold them back, so they don't do something really stupid that backfires on everyone.

Meanwhile Aqua is yanking us forward, telling us to give up the stuffy outmoded traditional cr*p and LIVE.

Yeah I like this combination.

in the early to mid twenties range this particular aquarian has a mars in capricorn, mine's in virgo so two earth bound mars

i do get irritated listening to them all the time cause i sit there thinking 'okay, great.. but are you actually going to do anything about it? you care enough to sit back and ramble on about it but not enough to put effort in to try and change it'

Though I do think the level of evolution of an Aqua and their Mars sign does play a role. Unevolved Aquas tend to have superiority complexes and they can be prone to thinking everybody is stupid, which is common for an Aquarius because like Leo, it also works among the ego. The unevolved Aquarius may also lack initiative to start projects, but I feel like that is more of an issue with their level of drive.

Mars in Capricorn is exalted, but because it's Saturn's influence, their drive is not screaming like an Aries and/or Scorpio Mars. Instead, they'll only go after something if they feel like it's worth the investment, so they can appear to be very lazy. Very controlled too, so don't expect absolute tons of excitement and craziness.

I'm curious, what do you mean "more evolved" astrologically?

Given that every sign has its own strengths & weaknesses, and "lower vibration" manifestations are frequently mentioned for all signs either on a "bad day" or even as a lifelong pattern over their better manifestations (*), I can't see how it means either better behaving or more competent than other signs, which leaves me wondering what you (and others) mean by "more evolved" based on signs. I honestly don't know what you mean.

I have both Aquarius and Capricorn in me.

I would agree. Generally I prefer the
Capricorn/Aquarius cusps. As it balances out perfectly.

I know some very creative Aquarians, but sometimes there ideas are too abstract or nonsensical, a Capricorn mix makes there ideas unique and reasonable.

For example I was talking to my Aquarius friend she came up some idea about putting a cat on a cat treadmill and run it against a small generator.

I told her it would only create enough energy for 1 light bulb, it would never sustain her entire energy needs.

Cap boss: COLD, ambitious about "position" in job, persistent, traditional, like a Hitler (lol, I'm just kidding ), will gives you "orders" but you can get it, you want to solve your own work? Follow their rules other than that you are stupid in their eyes.
Aqua boss: act like a friend (wants you to treat her like a friend too BUT don't mistreat her as she is still your boss. My boss is like this, she keeps telling me to call her with her nickname and I was like, "but... This is in the office Ma'm", she was giggling like, "Oh, don't worry, we are friends, friends call nickname although my age twice than your age, it's okaaaayy". I treat her like a friend but keep calling her "Ma'm". Lol.), willingly SHARE all knowledge they know, unconventional, lots of idea but sometimes don't act on it, will give you "orders" but it will confuse you (so, be a smart ass too to crack the puzzle lol or don't hesitant to ask her questions ), will give you much freedom to solve your own work.

In job as an employee, I would love to have both. Aquarius keeps the work interesting (because sometimes with Capricorn can be boring and you can get some good information from Aquarius) and Capricorn keeps the work going (because sometimes with Aquarius can be restless and you can get inspired by Capricorn persistency in work).
