Once Sagittarius and Capricorn can overlook their faults and concentrate on the other’s strengths, they will find their friendship beneficial. Sagittarius opens Capricorn up to the possibility of fun and adventure. The adventure develops out of the freedom that is often missing in Capricorn’s life.
On the other hand, Capricorn can show Sagittarius the importance of patience and attention to detail. Capricorn will share the knowledge that the little things in life are often the most essential. Capricorn can also help Sagittarius harness all of his energy and focus it on productive means. Usually this energy would only lead to restless wandering.
At times, Sagittarius will feel Capricorn is overly responsible. In this area he will teach his friend to take things less seriously. Capricorn will recognize the rudeness and impulsiveness in Sagittarius and show him how to be more polite and refined.
Those born under the sign of Sagittarius are often philosophical with wandering minds while Capricorn view the world more practically. These differences in perspective are connected to the differences in Earth and Fire signs. Fire Signs like Sagittarius are free spirited and energetic while Earth Signs are grounded and practical. Ethically, these Fire and Earth signs are different as well.
Capricorn, for example, will take time to consider if there is good in his activities. Sagittarius loves to explore only for personal satisfaction. Difficulties may arise in a friendship between these two signs because of the difference in ethics, but this will lead to fun explorations of self-identity.
Capricorn and Sagittarius friendship also differs in the fact that Sagittarius is mutable while Capricorn is cardinal. It is especially easy to spot differences in character in group settings. The mutable sign, Sagittarius, does not need to be the leader or the motivating force behind group action. Given a good idea and a way to participate, Sagittarius will enjoy doing their part.
On the other hand, Capricorn, a cardinal sign, enjoys coming up with the ideas and assigning roles. It is this very lack of role conflict which allows Capricorn and Sagittarius to accomplish tasks with little argument.
