The Sagittarius/Capricorn Cusp

Eccentric Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck, growth, and expansions. On the other hand, more brooding and serious Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, the planet of limitations, karma, and discipline.

In other words, while Jupiter is all sparkles and sunshine, Saturn is seriousness and shadow.

Additionally, Sagittarius is a Mutable sign, easily changeable, and sometimes unpredictable. And Capricorn is a Cardinal sign, grounded and headstrong, and able to put their mind to whatever plan of action they have going on at the time.

As a result, Sagittarius and Capricorn’s combo is one of almost near-opposites, or at the very least energies that we would not normally consider to mix so easily. After all, we have the optimism of wild archer Sagittarius meeting the cool and calculated nature of wise goat Capricorn.

What Do These Zodiac Signs Share?

That isn’t to say that these two signs have no middle ground!

Both personalities are extremely likely to go after what they want with fierce veracity. While they may not normally always agree on their method of choice to do so will be, rest assured these two passionate individuals are not ones to let something they want out of their sight.

Additionally, both signs are capable of being fierce and independent leaders. Capricorn is a natural leader as a Cardinal sign with prime organizational skills, and Sagittarius is a visionary with excellent people skills.

Overall, there is a great overlap that can be seen particularly within the Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp if managed correctly.

The Sagittarius/Capricorn Cusp Personality

So, what does it all mean for what a Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp personality ultimately looks like?

A Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp personality is likely to have all the zest and joy of vibrant archer Sagittarius, but with Capricorn’s targeted go-getter quality. As a result, we get an individual that is likely to take the lead and climb to the top of any ladder.

There is obviously plenty of potential here for incredible success. With both Jupiter’s luck and the wisdom of Saturn, a Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp can seem almost unstoppable to the outside eye. Everyone else may wonder — “just how do they do it?”

However, there are still potential pitfalls!

Sagittarius-Capricorn cusps are doubly as likely to wish to maintain their fierce independence. Although both know how to work a crowd to get what they want, these signs combined need a stronger push to forge long-term, meaningful connections.

One of the greatest lessons and assets this cusp can learn is to let others in.

So, as much as you want to climb to the top of the ladder as a Sagittarius-Capricorn cusp, just as equally, you will have to learn to share the wealth with others!

Contemplating the Cusp

Cusp signs and personalities are intriguing with or without their controversial reputation. And whether or not you find yourself believing in all of the hubbub surrounding cusps, you can undoubtedly still learn a lot about astrology and yourself in seriously reflecting upon what your cusp personality may look like.
