Libra/Capricorn might just bring out the best in each other and smooth out some of those annoying personality wrinkles but It requires dedication and a lot of tolerance – dreamy Libra is in love with the idea of being in love and Capricorn worships at the altar of status and career advancement. They need to acknowledge each other’s differences and be willing to compromise.
Together the mediator and the mountain goat are excellent social networkers and brilliant negotiators – they also look like a power couple, being fabulously fashion forward. Focusing on strengths reaps rewards – financially and emotionally – and gives the relationship a reasonable chance of succeeding.
Decoding Libra and Capricorn friendships…
As friends they’ll be active sparring partners, constantly challenging each other’s values, beliefs and life style choices. Difference may be what brings them together – especially Libra who is naturally curious and wants to know what makes people tick.
Capricorn uses Libra to confirm the veracity of their decisions – It’ll be a bit like, “Well Libra you’re on your tenth half-finished degree and I’m earning six figures at 21 – clearly I made the right decision”. Libra won’t care a fig about being judged and subtly sends Capricorn up “Gosh it must take a long time to count all those zeros – thank God welfare is never more than 3 figures!”.
It’s a friendship usually forged from having to connect with each other – through careers, school or sports, for example. They won’t spend lots of one-on-one time together – the friendship works best when contact happens sporadically – too many Libra/Capricorn exchanges usually leads to frustration and rising tempers.
First signs of attraction & compatibility…
Libra views Capricorn as a challenge and delights in loosening their corporate straight-jacket – they execute all the tried and true signature moves and add a few extra – just to seal the deal. It’s easy to spot the attraction in Capricorn – normally in control and solid as an iceberg they’ll be stuttering and wildly blushing a brilliant shade of red.
Libra is always one step ahead of the Mountain Goat when it comes to attraction, causing a severe case of Capricorn grumpiness as they rapidly fall for Libra. It’s something of an awkward comedy show – Libra needs to ask Capricorn out to stop the discomfort.
The Libra and Capricorn in relationships…
Lots of exasperation – Libra is an air element sign who flits from idea to idea whilst embracing spontaneity – to Capricorn this approach is chaotic and disorganized. As an earth sign the mountain goat deals in solid practical undertakings and builds from the ground up without deviating – this practice will lull Libra into a bored stupor. There are times when communication just totally breaks down and Libra/Capricorn don’t speak to each other for weeks.
Long distance relationships can work with these two – where absence can make the heart grow fonder. When they are not bogged down by the minutia of day to day life together Libra/Capricorn do what they do best together – socialize, network and visit family and friends.
Capricorn likes making money and Libra likes receiving gifts – expect a certain lavish generosity from Capricorn who tirelessly tries to hunt and procure a 1st Edition Charles Dickens or a Genuine Stradivarius violin – Libra returns the favor with weekends away and theatre tickets which are well received if given enough notice and forward planning.
Where they may encounter turbulence…
Different energy levels and priorities drive Libra/Capricorn. Both are cardinal signs meaning they like to lead and initiate but their processes are totally different – Libra leads with the heart and Capricorn with the head – whether its planning a holiday or the next career move friction occurs over Libra grabbing opportunities without thinking them through and Capricorns refusal to ever deviate from the initial plan. These signs need to define their roles in any undertaking and know when to keep their mouths shut.
Arguments also happen in regard to work/life balance, especially when workaholic Capricorn makes Libra feel abandoned and ignored. Libra gets clingy – Capricorn accuses them of being lazy and respect goes out the window. This couple thrive on time apart – but we’re not talking eternity.
When Libra and Capricorn fall in love…
They’ll both be stressed – perhaps Libra never intended for it to get this serious – what was once a flirting challenge is quite a different prospect when love enters the equation. Capricorn becomes forgetful and daydreams in board meetings – they might even take the first sick day of their lives – co-workers assume they are dead.
Dates are secretive and furtive as both know what this combo would look like to friends and family and don’t want to be told “Are you out of your mind?”. The clandestine nature of this attraction does make it all that more delicious – lunchtime rendezvous and midnight hookups have everyone wondering what they are hiding – an incurable disease or maybe a bad case of romance?
Libra and Capricorn sexual compatibility…
In the early days sex is hot, hot, hot! All that skulking and meeting up behind everyone’s back creates passionate outcomes. Capricorn has tons of energy and Libra is sensuality on a stick – raunchy liaisons are probably one of the relationships best features.
Sometimes when the couple go public their sex life deflates. That extra spark created by a sense of the forbidden disappears and so does the relationship. Libra/Capricorn need to work hard at getting over this speed hump – set each other new erotic challenges with just a hint of risk to maintain passion.
Libra and Capricorn marriage compatibility…
Hmmm… now this is going to be interesting! Where Capricorn is concerned, Libra makes a far better mistress than spouse – the Mountain Goat is always looking for the perfect executive partner who speaks several languages and has a substantial stock portfolio. Libra on the other hand seeks emotional commitment rather than a ring and is often left wanting by Capricorns’ cool, detached nature.
Believe it or not the best chance for this marriage to succeed, or even go ahead, is getting hitched young – whilst personalities and ambition are still being formed -that way they can grow together and create a future – before inflexibility sets in.
Children may happen – conventional Capricorn places great weight on the family unit and Libra often needs more than Capricorn can deliver to fill that emotional void. Arguments occur over education styles, manners and extra-curricular activities with Libra giving in just to keep the peace. As parents, Libra/Capricorn have good intentions – it’s just the intentions are from very different parenting manuals.
