MAMA and ME

When a Sagittarius child is born to a Capricorn parent, they may seem to have little in common. Others may think they have nothing to talk about and cannot benefit from the other. When the surface is scratched, however, there are many interlocking similarities.

In many ways, Sagittarius and Capricorn are opposites: Sagittarius is free-flowing, driven by whim, seeking knowledge for its own sake, always jumping into new things, and usually impatient. Capricorn is detail oriented, quiet, even shy, and always mindful of the next goal. The Capricorn parent may find their Sagittarius child to be undisciplined and impulsive. On the other hand, the Sagittarius child might think that their parent is boring and stuffy.

The incongruity of Sagittarius and Capricorn can actually make them more valuable to one another as family members, as it will expose them both to different types of people with lessons to teach. Sagittarius teaches Capricorn about enjoyment and adventure, about the freedom that is often missing in Capricorn's life. Capricorn teaches Sagittarius patience and attention to detail, the knowledge that the little things are important. The Capricorn parent helps focus their child's erratic energy. Each can learn much from the other if they make a little room in their life.

The best aspect of the Sagittarius-Capricorn family relationship is their effectiveness as a team. Once they overcome their differences, this family will realize that they have a lot to offer one another. Their personalities, although different in so many ways, can make them a highly complementary family unit.
