Capricorn and Leo Compatibility

A Capricorn woman and a Leo man make a match between two royals. Both carry themselves with dignity and know how to love beautifully, without ridiculous scenes or humiliating squabbles. And yet it's that very regal pride that sometimes keeps them from building a comfortable relationship.

Love and Dating

In love, a Capricorn woman and a Leo man are often bound together by a destructive passion. The relationship can be especially hard on her, because reckless infatuation is completely foreign to her nature. If the Leo man was only toying with her feelings, she's even capable of revenge.

Romance between these two often can't survive the first serious hurt, no matter who caused it, Leo or Capricorn. People born under these signs find it hard to forgive each other. Far more often, they want to strike back at whoever wounded them. That's why it matters so much for both of them to be sensitive and tactful with each other from the very first days.

Sexual Compatibility

In bed, a Capricorn woman and a Leo man run very hot at the start of the relationship: Leo builds a roaring bonfire. But the Capricorn woman considers it beneath her dignity to stoke her lover's desire. She expects to be wanted without lifting a finger. All too often, the result is that both partners cool off. To stay satisfied with their sex life, this couple needs to remember that the heat inevitably drops in a long relationship, and both of them have to work at keeping their intimate life varied.

Relationships and Family

Ask a Capricorn woman how her Leo partner is doing, and be ready for a prim reply: "Mr. Whitmore is extremely busy! He's working on a new project!" Don't be surprised. Even at home, these two sometimes address each other with formal courtesy. Part of it is a game, and part of it is a tribute to the respect they genuinely feel for each other. Both are energetic and ambitious, and they respect each other's personal space and each other's choices.

A lasting relationship between a Capricorn woman and a Leo man isn't easy, but it's entirely possible. Their compatibility depends on whether both of them can stop seeing their partner as a competitor or rival. Lines like "You couldn't do it, but I could!" or "What would you do without me?" are completely off-limits. Each of them is an ambitious, independent force in their own right.

If Leo tries to cast Capricorn as nothing more than a housewife, and she refuses to acknowledge his achievements, family life can become torture for both of them. Each will feel that this marriage kept them from fully living up to their enormous potential. But if the two of them manage to rein in their tempers, together they can achieve a great deal, and not only at home but in their careers too. On top of that, both Leo and Capricorn take marriage seriously and simply adore children.

Picture a romance between a fiery Spanish woman and a cool Norseman, and you have the relationship between a Leo woman and a Capricorn man. These two weren't made for each other. They think differently and live differently, but that doesn't stop either of them from studying, with genuine curiosity, the "foreigner" who has suddenly turned up in their life.

Love and Dating

A Leo woman and a Capricorn man will only notice each other if they get a chance to know each other better. Cautious Capricorn is spooked by this Leo woman who always seems to be laughing. She, for her part, usually doesn't notice him at all, because Capricorn isn't one to court cheap popularity. Only over a long acquaintance does she come to sense his inner strength, while he discovers how tender and defenseless she can be. Caring for others is built into the Capricorn man's nature, and the Lioness gladly lets him look after her and wait on her. Both of them want something lasting, so before long they may find themselves on the steps of city hall.

Sexual Compatibility

In bed, a Leo woman and a Capricorn man have completely different temperaments. She is passion itself, and her blood runs hot whenever she's near the man she loves. He's fairly reserved about showing tenderness and has a hard time giving in to what he considers baser urges. To relax, Capricorn needs to feel that the Lioness belongs to him and him alone, completely, body and soul.

Relationships and Family

From the outside, a Capricorn man and a Leo woman can look a bit like Princess Diana on the arm of a buttoned-up Prince Charles. You don't need to know them well to see how different they are: the Lioness practically radiates energy and warmth, while her Capricorn companion stoically holds his post beside her, wearing the look of a man who can't wait for all this pointless fuss to be over.

Living together doesn't come easily to a Leo woman and a Capricorn man, because they see the everyday business of running a home so differently. The Leo woman is an excellent homemaker, but she only wants to do the housework she enjoys. She might cook a wonderful dinner, for instance, and then leave mountains of dirty dishes behind, because washing them is boring. She simply has no interest in chores that never produce a finished result. What's the point of dusting? It'll just come back!

That attitude gets under meticulous Capricorn's skin, since he wants everything to be perfect. On top of that, the Lioness is very active and loud, which also knocks him off balance now and then. Still, many of this couple's disagreements are easy to solve: just hire a cleaner who comes in regularly and buy a good dishwasher. As for the rest of their differences, give-and-take on both sides and, of course, love will see them through.
