If You Forget Me By, Pablo Neruda

"Language is a weird and wonderful thing. You jump in head-first, once you begin to read, even when you no longer need a dictionary, or when you feel a word's meaning by its sound, like a blind man touching the edge of a coin. But some of the words you might use, the big ones - love, happiness, sorrow - these can remain abstract for years, even if you don't know it.

And then one day, something will happen, something will get you - or someone will touch you suddenly, like a thorn coming by chance under your sleeve to graze your skin; and then you are changed, and you find you have to go back to your vocabulary, and think. You have to redefine the word 'beautiful', because everything is new, and even though you thought you knew where you were before, your emotional map is upside down. And it feels glorious."

Cardinal Water and Fixed Earth

Scorpio and Capricorn

Both signs are anchored deep within, and often come across as "hard to get to know." Their cool reserve and natural mistrust of others actually works in their favor. Picking up on this mutual fortress, they take their sweet time during the courtship phase. Neither wants to play games, or has much interest in a one-night stand. Initially, emotions are meted out in understated ways, and they enjoy sensual pleasures in a controlled way. Love grows slowly between such formidable natures, taking care to keep dignity, respect and trust intact.

While dating, they discover someone as driven to succeed as they are. Both need pursuits to engage in, big careers to hitch all that ambition onto. As romance unfolds, each subtly locks in as part of the foundation for what the other wants to achieve. They share a determination to commit to patient, steady achievement. And in the other, they find a champion, and a loyal partner to settle in with for the long haul. That's why you see so many Scorpio-Capricorn power couples.

Because of its intensity, Scorpio can often flare up over an issue, and stay locked into dramas that stir up trouble. Capricorn is the voice of reason, offering a stone cold sober analysis of what's really going on. This helps Scorpio gain perspective. In the cozy intimate spaces, Scorpio draws out the Goat from its earthen cave. Capricorn's natural sensuality and depth of emotion comes out in the atmosphere of trust they've created.

When it's a love connection, these two enjoy the best of both worlds -- private and public. Scorpio should avoid trying to control Capricorn, who will respond with its own indignant fury. They're a couple that find worldly power sexy, and thrive when they support the other's steps to mastery. But in the relationship, the model of shared power works best, and when that delicate balance is in place, this is an enduring match.

They both understand power and control and how to use it --- this pair is dynamite. (Source: AquarianAge Romance )

For Scorpio: This is a wonderful partnership. You both have the same values and cherish your home environment. Mentally and physically you match up well, easily satisfying one anothers needs. (Source: Love Test )

For Capricorn: Not bad at all. You both understand one another perfectly and can appreciate the same values and directions. Sexually you can dance superbly together. (Source: Love Test )

Clear sailing. They are ambitious, determined, serious about responsibility and have a good head for financial success. (Source: Astrology Fun )

Scorpio Woman & Capricorn Man

This is a good match that can really develop into a long-lasting love relationship. You are person will a deep well of intense emotions, and that can really bring a Capricorn boy out of his quiet shell. With you, he will open up emotionally in a way he won’t with most other signs. He is very loyal to those he cares about, and his steady nature and confidence in you will give you the emotional security you need. Capricorn boys are known for sticking with those they care about through thick and thin. You will always be able to depend on him to support you, be there for you and stick up for you. You also share a warm physical chemistry that will grow even more affectionate and romantic as time goes on. A very good love match for both of you. ( Source: Jellybean's Astro-Soulmate Guide )

Capricorn boy thinks that Scorpio girl is a worthy companion on every front-a person that understands the value of quality and ambition. Best of all, he likes that you can go toe-to-toe in any debate. It's a mutual admiration fest on every level!

When Scorpio and Capricorn make a love match, they get an opportunity to not only enjoy a loving relationship and learn the value of being a pair, but also to grow and mature as individuals. These two may be wary about sharing themselves with one another at first, and this emotional caution may dampen the initial impact of this relationship. These two tend to be a bit cautious (Capricorn) and pensive (Scorpio), and it takes a while for them to feel comfortable with a significant other. Though they may be shy of getting involved and not the quickest to trust and share, these two Signs will discover that they can have quite a profound connection -- one of friendship and deep loyalty.

Much can be learned when a Scorpio and Capricorn get together -- and the lessons they learn, while difficult at times to endure, are worth the trouble they might cause. From their stable, capable Capricorn mate, Scorpio can learn to bring their overheated emotions into control. Capricorn must be careful, though, not to seem too emotionally shallow when leveling any criticism on their sensitive love. Detached comments can backfire with Scorpios: They desire depth, intense feeling and the utmost in sincerity in all situations -- most especially in love! Capricorn, so busy with achieving and with how others perceive them sometimes fails to take a chance with their emotions. From Scorpio, Capricorn will learn the value of looking below the surface of things, the rich pleasure that can come from deeply knowing another person. Both Signs share a love of committing to a task. If they decide a relationship is their next big goal to attain, there's no stopping these two.

What's the best thing about the Scorpio-Capricorn love match? Their determination toward shared ideas and their strong devotion to one another. They can open doors to one another's souls and show one another new ways of perceiving and feeling.
