Capricorn & Scorpio as Friends/Colleagues

Focus 

In some ways, you're as serious-minded as Scorpio and just as private, although for different reasons. With Scorpio, privacy may be a defense mechanism; for you, it's simply what you prefer. The better you and Scorpio get to know each other, whether as friends or colleagues, the greater the trust that grows be-tween you and the deeper you'll penetrate into each other's privacy. 

Scorpio admires your steady, tenacious, dependable nature, your discipline and your 

ability to set goals and achieve them. You recognize that Scorpio possesses these same traits, but the two of you may be motivated for different reasons. You aspire to create or be in-volved in something that makes a difference in the world; Scorpio aspires to find that bottom line, to understand what makes everything tick. 

A powerhouse of energy, focus, determination and ambition marks this relationship. When the two of you combine forces on any kind of creative project, there's no telling where it might lead or what it might produce. 

Taboos 

The privacy issue isn't likely to be an issue in this friendship because you're both on the same page in this regard. The only taboos you may encounter have to do with the darker facets of your respective signs. 

The shadow side of your sign, Capricorn, is that the ends justify the means. It's naked am-bition, that all encompassing drive that urges you forward toward some pinnacle of achieve-ment, and it doesn't matter who you trample to get there. The shadow side for Scorpio is about obsessive control of her environment and everything in it. Here are some minor taboos/pet peeves you may want to keep in mind.
