Capricorn in Love

Capricorn: An Overview

A lot of Capricorn's personality has to do with this sign’s ruler, Saturn. Saturn, affectionately dubbed the Taskmaster planet, takes about thirty years to revolve around the sun before it returns to the position it was in when you were born. This is called a Saturn return.

Most of Capricorn traits can be attributed Saturn's influence. Strong organizational abilities, maintaining a structured environment and a strong work ethic all come under the domain of Saturn. With a motto of “I accomplish” and with the grit and drive to make that happen, it’s no wonder that Caps are one of the most sought after signs of the zodiac.

Learn About Capricorn in Love

A Capricorn in love is concerned about one thing: security. For Capricorn’s, safety, security and love all go hand in hand. They like to know that the person they’re with has steady job, pays their bills on time, and has a good credit score (really!).

All of that may seem a bit unromantic for some, but keep in mind that most Capricorns are in it for the long haul. When you look at their romantic nature from that perspective, a lot of their preferences actually make good common sense.

Capricorns sometimes get a bad rap for being, well, boring. And although this couldn’t be farther from the truth, their legendary bedroom skills more than make up for it! Stoic Caps tend to be quite lusty, so consider yourself forewarned!

Play Well with Others: Compatibility Horoscopes

Compatibility horoscopes are the art of comparing how well a sign, in this case Capricorns, does romantically with others. Please keep in mind that the following synopsis deals specifically with sun signs. They do not take into consideration rising signs, moon signs, Venus placements, etc.; all factors that are extremely important in any compatibility analysis. With that in mind, here’s a quick run-down on Capricorn in love.

Capricorn-Aries: On the upside, both are pretty lusty in the bedroom as Aries is no slouch in that department, but while Aries tends to burn out fast, Caps were bred to go the distance. Other sticky points include the famous Aries temper and wanderlust; all traits that Capricorn may blanch at.

Capricorn-Taurus: Ah, a match made in heaven! Both are materially conscious, ambitious and prefer the finer things in life. The only possible pitfall could be Taurus’ possessive streak.

Capricorn-Gemini: On the surface, this is an unlikely pairing. Chatty, inquisitive Gemini can test Capricorn’s more reserved and taciturn nature, but you should never count a love match out!

Capricorn-Cancer: These are opposite signs (they fall exactly opposite on the zodiac axis) and as such there’s a lot of push and pull energy. A great deal of attraction is usually felt, especially if Cancer is looking for a mother or father figure, but like all relationships, this one will take some work.

Capricorn-Leo: This is an unlikely pairing. Attention-loving Leo’s thrive in the spotlight, while generally reserved Caps prefer the sidelines. That’s not to say, with a little bit of work, that this love match can’t work.

Capricorn-Virgo: This is another very good match. When signs are of the same element, in this case two earth signs, it usually tends to work well. These two signs inherently understand what the other needs. Overall, it's a good match.

Capricorn-Libra: On the surface, this match works. Capricorn and Librans both love fine food, wine and art, and both enjoy the material things in life. Things become a bit more complicated when you consider Librans' flirty natures, love of discussions and sometimes, the inability to make up their minds.

Capricorn-Scorpio: This is an intriguing mix and one that can quite possibly work. Both signs tend to be quiet, and here’s that word again, lusty! However, can Capricorn deal with Scorpio’s inherently suspicious nature and probing questions? That remains to be seen.

Capricorn-Sagittarius: This is a pairing that, generally speaking, speaks against any long-term compatibility. At first, things appear well enough with plenty of good times and funny conversations, but this all can quickly give way to a loss of truly understanding where the other is coming from.

Capricorn-Capricorn: Like all love matches of the same sign, this one can go either way. This truly depends on what the individuals have rising and their overall charts.

Capricorn-Aquarius: This pairing, in some ways, is just asking for trouble. Aquarians are baffled by the Cap’s need for order, while the non-conformist Aquarius might literally drive social-climber Capricorn crazy! If both can stick it through, they may end up learning a lot from each other.

Capricorn-Pisces: This is another pairing that, when it works, works well. Both have what the other may need. Pisces can teach Caps to dream while Capricorns can provide some structure to Pisces. With a little elbow grease, this pairing can work.
