When Libra and Capricorn come together in a love match, they can be a good
couple -- if they can uncover their sometimes difficult to find similarities. On
the surface, these two couldn't be more different: While Capricorn is quiet and
unassuming; Libra tends to be a social butterfly, delighting in visiting with
other people. Capricorn is concerned with hard work as a means toward career
advancement and recognition; Libra is concerned with beauty, art and balance in
life and relationships. This is not to say, however, that there is no meeting
point for these two; if they are coming from a base of mutual love and respect,
they can work to find their common ground. Libra and Capricorn can create
success by sharing a vision of the future.
The first encounter between Scales and Goat is intense, due to deep differences.
Libra is attracted by the Goat's sexuality and by that strong, silent persona,
while the Goat is impressed by your style and panache. This makes magnetism in
the bedroom, but Libra you are a creature of discussion where the Goat
assimilates information. Libra weighs up propositions until the right answer
comes, while the Goat will wait for sufficient facts, then decide on a course of
action. Libra’s avid mental processes fascinate the Goat at first, but your
conservative air may tire of the constant need to debate things that don't lead
directly to a decision.
Libra is a nice person and tends to be a bit more cultured and "better" than
others. Usually, Libra is also diplomatic enough to keep your superiority
complexes in check. The more that Libra becomes fair-minded, impartial and
unprejudiced, the happier Libra becomes. Essentially, Capricorn is cautious,
steadfast and reserved. Even as a child, Capricorn's personality was probably
mature for the years. When these two Signs work together on a project or a
problem, it works best if they have pre-set roles to fulfil, as they both like
to take charge. Once their expectations are defined, their approaches are once
again quite different: Libra is pondering and intellectual, but Capricorn sees
the value of doing things the hard way if it leads to certain success. Once the
partners understand each other's style, their methods help them to achieve
together what they could not achieve alone. Libra the Scales and Capricorn the
Sea-Goat are Cardinal Signs. This is a challenge, so you need to negotiate who's
in charge. Neither surrenders easily. You try to accommodate, but you don't like
to give up control. You'll find that the Goat is a creature who takes charge
with determination, so somewhere along the line; you will struggle over who's
the boss.
Libra has the potential for much social intercourse and favourable public
contact. To really thrive, Libra needs to be part of a loving, committed
"marriage." With any luck Capricorn's life will get better and responsibilities
will become more enjoyable over time. Capricorn can only fail by giving up.
Never, never, never, never, never give up. Capricorn, you were made for
management and leadership. Capricorn's ambitions are only limited by your
self-esteem. Planning and work will pay off. Be sure to ask for a fair price for
your efforts. Capricorn, an Earth Sign, is guided by practical concerns, where
the Air of Libra loves to speculate. Goatish realism versus Scales idealism! If
you don't compromise, you won't survive. The Goat can be grounding where the
Scales can be uplifting - if you negotiate the process of communication. If you
don't, Air blows across the face of Earth and passes, leaving things much as
they were. All things being equal, Libra prefers civil conversation. Libra
usually does not find reason for raised voices or crude language at
inappropriate times. Embarrassment can be an issue for Libra. Libra likes to ask
for advice, but does not like to be told what to do. Libra needs a cushy job in
a swanky environment.
Ruled by Venus, Libra, you are in love with love and enjoy spending money. The
Goat is a penny-pinching loner and often emotionally repressed. Remember how
that strong, silent image impressed you at first? Cool, structured Saturn is
strong in both Signs, but your match is best served if you have domain in
different areas, perhaps with Libra in charge at home, while the Goat rules at
work, or vice versa. This balance between home and work is crucial to success
between you. If one dominates in both areas, the other will leave. You both like
to start things and to take the initiative. You're each restless, energetic,
outgoing, opportunistic and ambitious. Probably, you're both more busy than
bored. Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus (Love) and Capricorn is ruled by
Planet, while Saturn is cold, hard and masculine. These Planets don't have much
in common so it's important for Libra and Capricorn to work through their
differences. Venus encourages Libra to slow down to take in the beauty and
romance life offers; this can come across as laziness to Capricorn, whose Saturn
influence lends them that dogged determination to push forward against all odds
and succeed at the goals they set for themselves. These two Planets can work at
cross-purposes, creating antagonism, strife and repressed emotions unless Libra
and Capricorn make a concerted effort to understand and accept one another's
focus in life. Capricorn must take care not to discourage Libra from their
natural enthusiasm and optimism, and Libra must put their natural diplomacy to
use in order to maintain balance with Capricorn.
Libra is a creature of persuasion. Your strength is in your ability to see
things from both sides, but once Capricorn makes up its mind, the Goat will
change it only if you present clear reasons for doing so and allow time to think
things through. "Maybe it could all be another way" has no appeal to Capricorn
without the evidence. If you want something from Capricorn, be prepared to argue
your case in a reasoned way. However, if your Goat won't listen, there's little
future, since you need the flair of informed discussion in your life. If you can
work this out, you're a powerful combination. If not, it's bound to leave you
searching elsewhere for the love of your life.
