Capricorns can take a while to get to know. They tend to be very methodical and deliberate in affairs of the heart. This is partly because in everything, not just love, they like to be slow and steady.
Their apparent lack of emotion also hides their insecurity, too. Capricorns won’t make any sudden or big romantic gestures because they fear being rebuffed and made to look foolish.
However, once you have a Capricorn on your side, you’ll find that they gradually open out to become passionate about you and your relationship. They will still be more likely to show their love by fixing your car or making you dinner than buying a dozen red roses – but then, that’s not always a bad thing!
Good matches
Capricorns get on very well with Cancer, as Capricorns enjoy being nurtured.In fact, all of the water signs, which also include Scorpios and Pisces, can be very good with Capricorns.
Virgos are also very good matches with Capricorns, as both are practical and considerate. However, care should be taken to avoid the union getting staid. Of the other earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn make a good match, while Capricorns who are in love with other Capricorns may find that they compete a lot!
More challenging matches
These relationships won’t necessarily be doomed from the off, but they will be hard-going at times. Both sides will need to compromise and communicate to keep things going.
Capricorns are introverted and quiet – unlike Leos, who are flashy and enjoy being the centre of attention. This can be quite an unbalanced relationship. The other fire signs, Aries and Sagittarius, do not clash quite as much, and can be invigorating for the Capricorn. In fact, they’re perfect for a fling.
Capricorns usually find the air signs – Aquarius, Gemini and Libra – baffling. If you want a challenge and to shake up your boundaries, try taking up with one of these.
