The dynamic
How Libra and Capricorn get on
Libra and Capricorn are 90° apart. Astrologers call this a square, an angle of tension. You are both cardinal signs, so you want things with the same strength. Your elements, air and earth, want different things. This creates disagreements, but it also helps you both change and improve.
Love · Tense
In love
The attraction is strong, and so are the arguments. Libra’s indecision meets Capricorn’s overwork. With humour and patience, this can be a very lively couple. In a relationship, Libra looks for fairness, good manners and a partnership of equals. Capricorn looks for respect, commitment and a shared plan for the future.
Friendship · Tense
As friends
As friends, Libra is the one who keeps the evening pleasant and knows the right restaurant. Capricorn is the one who gives advice that is usually right. You argue, you laugh about it afterwards, and you help each other improve.
Work · Steady
At work
At work, Libra gets results by finding a solution that everyone can accept. Capricorn gets results by planning for the long term and taking responsibility. Libra and Capricorn are both cardinal signs. Cardinal signs start the seasons, and they like to start things and lead. Share the leading, or you will compete for it.
Making it work
Three things to try
- When you argue, discuss the problem, not the person. Agree in advance who decides what.
- Watch for indecision from Libra and overwork from Capricorn.
- For a fuller answer, compare your whole birth charts, starting with your Moon and Venus signs.
