Libra and Capricorn Love Compatibility
There's no getting around it: Libra and Capricorn have some fundamental disagreements to sort out before they can build a happy partnership. On paper, these two couldn't be any more different. Libra is sociable, personable, and tactful. In general, they are put off by roughness and poor manners. They also have a logical intellect, yet they can be incredibly indecisive because they always attempt to please everyone. Capricorns are much more grounded, and while they can be gregarious, they almost always have a clear goal in mind. They'll attend the corporate party, but simply to please the boss (whereas Libra goes to flirt and have fun). Libra values culture and beauty, and while Capricorn appreciates the better things in life, they spend much of their "free time" working extra hours, studying, or finding out other methods to advance in life. Libra is far more willing to accept things as they come and make decisions on the fly, something Capricorn cannot understand. Libras seek balance and harmony and are extremely trusting. In contrast, Capricorn is very careful and takes their time getting to know new people. Before giving someone their time and attention, they want to know if they are deserving of it, which may make Libra irritable. Libra is controlled by Venus, the planet of love. Libras thrive on romance and beauty, and they adore being admired, complimented, and captivated. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, a colder, more practical, and manly planet. Sea goats receive their no-nonsense demeanor from this planet. When Libra fails to meet their lofty standards, they are sometimes labeled as lethargic. The stress created by two extremely different energies can be too much for the relationship to handle, therefore many Libra-Capricorn relationships fail before they even begin. Unless the partners make a concerted effort to iron out their differences, this could be a problematic union from the start.
Libra, as an air sign, can be impulsive and easily distracted. Libras have a strong intellectual side, but their indecision might mask it at times. Their smart, studious Capricorn partner may not always appreciate their intelligence (since Libras like to highlight their beauty). Capricorn, an earth sign, prefers to focus on the more practical, rational aspects of life, and they frequently overlook Libra's frivolous, superficial hobbies. They believe opposites attract, but unless the opposites agree to appreciate both sides, they may be too diametrically opposed.
Libra and Capricorn are both cardinal signs, therefore they share a desire to lead or initiate change. However, because their personalities differ on so many other levels, this can be another point of contention. Instead of taking each other's ideas and running with them, it frequently becomes a competition to see who "wins" and comes out on top. Libra has a highly compromising spirit, therefore they will try to provide a solution that allows both partners to receive what they desire. But more often than not, they both leave feeling as if they settled for less than they want or deserved.
Romantically, stern Capricorns frequently lack the necessary qualities to keep attractive Libra pleased. Libra enjoys being persuaded and is quite open in the bedroom, but Capricorn can be much more reserved and closed off. Capricorn, who is frequently concerned with other things, can adopt a "let's just get this over with" approach in the bedroom. This is a major affront to Libra, who frequently goes to considerable pains to create the correct attitude.
