Capricorn's Planet: ♄ Saturn.
The Capricorn man seems capable, like Hercules, of carrying the world on his shoulders. At the very least, people like him give it stability and substance. Tradition, family values, honor, duty, discipline—without them, the world would descend into chaos. Capricorn deserves some credit for the fact that it hasn't.
Almost from childhood, the Capricorn man sets his sights on the top. Since he relies above all on himself, the passing years strengthen both his character and his abilities. With ambition driving him forward, he gradually becomes a remarkably focused, persistent, hardworking person. Whatever he takes on, very little is beyond him.
How to Win a Capricorn Man's Heart
He may look confident, unruffled, even a little dry, but a Capricorn man will be deeply grateful if you acknowledge his achievements out loud—preferably with other people around. Beyond the accomplishments, large and small, that fill his life, he needs ordinary human warmth and a little praise. He rarely gets enough of either. Some people see him as an indestructible machine, untouched by human feeling; others openly envy his ability to work toward a goal. Show him you appreciate what everyone else overlooks, and you'll find the key to that stern but faithful heart.
Even in love, though, Capricorn is unlikely to rush you toward a wedding. Family is the foundation of his world, and he needs to be certain a marriage is serious and lasting. Ideally, for life.
No wonder his search for a partner can take so long: there's quite a list of requirements. To become his wife, you'll need to be loving, loyal, and capable of running a home, as well as comfortable in company and well dressed. That last part matters a great deal to ambitious Capricorn.
Remember, too, that his idea of “family” includes the whole extended clan. To make the best possible impression, win their approval and support, especially his parents'.
It also helps to let him glimpse, without making a production of it, the kind of mother and homemaker you could be. Cook a lovely meal, perhaps, or let him see you playing with someone's child. On the other hand, if you want to send this quiet, conservative man running, overwhelm him with relentless activity, constant demands for attention, and dramatic displays of feeling.
In a Relationship with a Capricorn Man
If you appreciate that actions matter more than words, Capricorn may be your ideal man. He won't send syrupy texts full of emojis, talk baby talk, or call you his little bunny. But you can trust him not to turn his head at every passing woman or pour the family budget into slot machines. He might say “I love you” only twice a year—on your birthday and Valentine's Day—but his actions say it every day.
The Capricorn man will do everything he can to make sure you want for nothing, your home is well provided for, and you and your children never doubt his devotion. He'll stand between you and the storms of the outside world, plan for setbacks, and give you confidence in the future.
He has another remarkable quality: he seems to grow younger in spirit, and almost in body, as he ages. Serious and responsible in his youth, he often looks older than his years. Later, once he's achieved a certain standing, he makes up for lost time. He can keep a youthful look, a strong physique, and a clear gaze well into old age, to the envy of his peers. His feelings for you, however, won't change. At seventy, his love will burn with the same clear, steady light it did on your wedding day.
The Capricorn Father
Capricorn is a responsible, caring, and strict father. Children are an essential part of family life to him. He may put too much pressure on a child and insist too firmly on having things his way, but no one could accuse him of giving fatherhood too little time or effort.
