Virgo - Both are clever hard-working signs which could create a long-term, successful relationship

Aries - These signs completely clash, as risk-taking Aries will frustrate sensible Capricorns, and they will also both compete for power in the relationship
Sagittarius - Sagittarius can be passionate yet immature, which is completely unsuited to sensible Capricorns
Leo - Conservative Capricorns won't see eye-to-eye with extravagant Leos, making compromises difficult

Where does the Zodiac come from?
The Zodiac is the term used to describe the circle of 12 divisions of celestial longitude that are centered upon the path of the sun.
The 12 divisions share the names we know as our star signs.
The term zodiac derives from Latin zōdiacus - meaning "circle of animals".
Throughout history, the zodiac has been used to predict or echo characteristics of personality.
