Scorpio Parent and Capricorn Child

* As the Scorpio parent of a Capricorn child, you make an exceptionally smart and high-achieving family combo, but your weak point is that you both tend to take life rather too seriously.

* Your Capricorn child has inherited your ambitiousness, and with it your driven, hard working personality. The good news is you won’t have to put any pressure on them to apply themselves in life. Worldly success is so important to this aspiring youngster, they’re their own hardest taskmaster.

* What they actually need most from you is encouragement to allow themselves more fun and downtime. But that won’t come easily if you’re too intense in your parenting and you’re over-invested in your kids’ achievements. If you make winning seem too important, they will never learn how to relax and ‘just be’.

* If you’re the Scorpio mother of a Capricorn child, the vital thing to bear in mind is that they’re a pragmatic little Earth sign, while you’re a much more emotionally switched on Water sign. Don’t try to force them into expressing their feelings and their affection in the way you would like them to. The best way to win this kid’s love is by respecting their privacy and avoiding being too intrusive. That’s something you too would appreciate in their place.

* If you’re a Scorpio father, the greatest gift you can offer your Capricorn child is to provide them with a strong and stable home base from which to go forth and climb the heights in life. Security is just as important to them as it is to you.
