Capricorn is one of the earth signs, known for their traits like being complete workaholics, loyal, passionate and somewhat reserved too. Loving them can be a bit tricky because they not only take their chances to open up to you, but also choose very specifically who gets to have their time and efforts. Being committed means a great deal to them, so they don’t just waste their time and feelings on just anyone.
When it comes to something as complex as love, everyone has their demands. Each one of us is equipped with different mentalities. That makes our preferences for the person we choose to share our life with very, immensely. If you get to know what these preferences are, it will make it all the easier and straightforward for you to approach the one you love and probably start a serious relationship with them.
Knowing the basic traits of each sign, astrology lays out a pretty clear map of these preferences in each of the signs, things they like to have in the one they choose to commit to.
Read below to find out some ways of how to love your Capricorn, what ticks them off, what sets their moods, how to win their hearts enough that they open it up to you and how to get the best out of a relationship with a Capricorn.
1. What Capricorns ask for from their partner
Capricorn is among one of the most responsible and mature signs of the zodiac. They often feel the whole weight of the world on their shoulders, knowing what needs to be done in just the right. They see what needs to be ordered when no one else does, and that makes them quite intense workaholics.
They really don’t waste those efforts if they don’t see you equally interested in the relationship. So what they ask from a partner is a sense of responsibility. Don’t play around with a Capricorn; it totally goes against all they stand for. Furthermore, even though they might not realize these themselves, but a Capricorn often looks for a fun side to the one they choose to be in a relationship with.
That is to say, they will love it when you not only show how responsible you are but also make them laugh, experience the world with you and lift some of the weight of their shoulders. If you manage to provide them such a respite, you will most likely win their heart right away.
2. How they express their love
Where most people believe in wooing their partners with flowery words and a lot of pretences, Capricorns are among the rare kind of people who believe and truly live up to the maxim of actions speaking louder than words. They only say what they mean, emotions being paramount to their words rather than empty words and promises.
So they might not make grand declarations of their feelings of love and care for you. They will show you, by their actions. When you don’t hear them say loving things as much as you would like, don’t make the mistake of assuming they don’t love you. Give them the chance to show you instead, in their own time. Besides, just because someone doesn’t express their love for us with words and such, doesn’t imply they don’t love us with all they have.
3. Who are Capricorns most compatible with
Above all else, Capricorns find it very easy to commit to someone who appreciates and accepts their grave sense of duty, their love for their work and how sometimes they often put it before everything else but at the same encourages them to take a break without giving the wrong idea. Keeping this in mind, signs like the appreciate Cancer; the reliable Taurus, the loyal Virgo and the balance-loving Libra are most compatible with Capricorn.
On the other hand, signs like Gemini and Sagittarius will bring out the fun and excitement into a Capricorn’s life but their flightiness might tick them off.
4. How to make Capricorns open up
Being very practical and serious people, Capricorns take a lot of time to open up. They need to be completely sure if you are really dependable and responsible about the relationship as they are. Unlike other signs, they are not impulsive at all, nor do they just fall head over heels for someone and have very specific goals for their relationship.
Therefore, if you want them to open up, you need to assure them of your reliability, seriousness about the relationship and your true intentions about being committed to them.
5. What turns them on
Even though Capricorns come off as the serious, mature types that are not to say they have a dull personality altogether. Being an earth sign, after all, they are very physical creatures too. That means they like to be practical and not just that but skilful too in the physical side of their relationship. Doing things like reading the Kama Sutra, trying out new techniques in bed and so forth are some of the turns on for a Capricorn.
They like to know their partner’s physical needs are met, apart from the emotional and mental ones. Being practical as well as sensible about their actions, Capricorns know better than to remain stuck on the dividing line between sex and love. They place both the factors together to make their relationship a healthy one, instead of it being one or the other alone.
6. Their deepest secret
The mountain goat is used to represent Capricorns. As such, they are the kind of people who like to stay at the top of the pyramid; to be best and flawless at whatever it is they invest their time and efforts in. Therefore, failure is the greatest fear of a Capricorn.
They would much rather stay silent about their weaknesses and insecurities, lest they appear vulnerable and fail at the task at hand. They need a partner who curbs their doubts and fear, gives them hope and support to succeed and someone who is there for them when they appear at their weakness and instead of pointing out the cracks in their armour, pinpoints its brilliance and makes Capricorn stand up on their feet once again.
7. What to avoid with a Capricorn
The fear of failing eats away a Capricorn’s heart and soul inside out. No one knows the burden of responsibility and duty like a Capricorn does. If they make some errors on the way, do not make the foolish mistake of hinting it out instantly.
Instead, give them all the support and positivity you can. Even the slightest bit of harsh criticism can lead Capricorn into the deep abyss and depress them right away. Being reserved, they will rarely show you what they are feeling. So instead of prying your way into their mind’s state forcefully, be patient with them.
Trust them to handle their mishaps but at the same time, do not stay too far away from offering them a helping hand. Such an overactive sense of duty and responsibility, along with forever looking for loopholes in their work lest they lead to their failure, Capricorns tend to burn themselves out, snuffing out whatever spark of love and liveliness they have left inside them. So, they need a constant high dose of unconditional support, enthusiasm and reassurance from their partner to keep them from fading and burning out completely.
8. How to communicate with a Capricorn
Capricorns are the serious types, as mentioned before. They always have a lot of work to do, so they do not bother in wasting their time in fulfilling formalities and making small talk. They are pretty honest about what they say and get to the point of discussion right away.
If you want to communicate with a Capricorn effectively, be straight to the point and clear about your intentions. Do not make small talk. A Capricorn would much rather open up to you quicker if you do not take their time with small talk and inconsequent details that you both know should be left unsaid.
9. The importance of spirituality for a Capricorn
Everyone prefers different methods to relax at the end of a long, working day. When it comes to a Capricorn, they prefer something much simpler. They use spirituality to relax and take the edge off of their body and soul. Without a partner who communicates to them on a spiritual level, a Capricorn often feels empty. Life becomes nothing but a wasteland to them.
Therefore, being with a Capricorn will become fairly easy when you listen to them as they talk about spiritual topics when you let them know clear-cut that you understand and even if you don’t, you still listen to them patiently. They will love you all the more when you indulge in the spiritual aspect of life with them, dig deeper in those aspects with them and try to understand it as a whole.
You showing your interest like that will only make them like you all the more. Once you connect with a Capricorn on that spiritual level, know that winning their heart over will not take long after that.
10. How to make it last forever with a Capricorn
Being the kind of people who take relationships and commitments very seriously, Capricorns look for the conventional marriage and having a family together deal. If you want to love a Capricorn and make your relationship last forever no matter how long that forever might be all you have to do is approach your Capricorn with pure respect, fidelity and understanding.
They do not waste their time and efforts for something they are not sure will last forever. Sticking around for trivial things is not in the cards for them. They only work towards a goal when they have total surety that it will actually go somewhere.
So do not approach a Capricorn for a serious commitment unless you are sure you both want the same things, and can respect their ideals just as much as they do. You might find a more exciting partner than a Capricorn, but never one who is more steadfast.
Keeping all these facts about a Capricorn in mind, you can really head towards developing a stable and healthy relationship that will last a long, long time. Giving you total respect, love and care as you deserve, a Capricorn committed to you will show you all the reasons it never worked out with anyone else before.
Their reliability and sense of purpose and duty will prove you wrong about choosing to remain single all your life. Not many relationships come out as pure, generous and stable as that with a Capricorn does.

Have you dated or are dating a Capricorn? Does this article resonate with your experiences? Let me know in the comments below!
I’ve been seeing my Capricorn for nearly 2 yrs now, and I love everything about him, but key is patience and understanding what he is about, he’s vey sensible, serious about life and dependable but sometimes he has a hard shell and not very open, he always tells me he loves me but hasn’t got to that stage that he’s in love with me, I’m guessing that he’s making sure I fit all his requirements after all I’m a gemini. Not compatible but we work and I have issues with trust but the more I understand him the easier it is!!
I’m a Capricorn and it doesn’t take 2 years to see if you meet our requirements. As stated we are goal oriented and we go for what we want. And we don’t like to waste time. This sounds like he is just comfortable and has become complacent. Not saying he doesn’t have strong feelings for you. But he might just be spinning you. Prayers for the best.
That’s me all the way.
Everything you said is true. I had 2 capricorn boyfriends before marrying a Capricorn. I was married for 15 years and a year after my divorce met another Capricorn and he has been around for the last 13 years. It is true if you expect grand gestures of love, Rose’s, picnics and candlelight you have the wrong sign.
Where it says, Giving you total respect, love and care as you deserve, a Capricorn committed to you will show you all the reasons it never worked out with anyone else before. Brought me to my knees in tears to my eyes thank you
Hey ! I’m a gemini too and my boyfriend is a Capricorn. We get along very well and have mutual feelings for each other. But somehow I’m always scared he’s going to loose feelings for me the next day for no reason. It really tiggers my trust issues.
I’m a gemini too and it’s so difficult and amazing to know that there is someone that really appreciate you. So used to others that made you doubt your own worth.
I am a cancer and have been dating my capricorn for about 3 months now but this article really explained alot! As a cancer we fall hard when we fall in love and ik now that if I’m patient and have complete understanding in my heart that’s all hell ever ask of me
I am capricorn &When i read the article iam proud tankyou
Loved your article:) thanks for sharing all these wonderful facts. I will surely be using them in the future.
Ive been dating a Capricorn for 5 no and your article is spot on. I do have a question though. We have great connection in bed, my boyfriend and i, but I don get any kisses. He says he doesn like them. My best friend is also a capricorn and he says he’s not much for kissing either. Before we got together he initiated the kiss the first kiss. Told me he’s been waiting years to do it. Now it’s like pulling teeth. Is this just a Capricorn thing? what can I do?
Hiii as a Capricorn, some of us if not most don’t really show there love in a physical way, we tend to show it by acts of kindness or gifts.🥰 but that doesn’t mean we don’t like it either lol like it depends
I’m a Capricorn and I definitely love kisses. Your boyfriend really doesn’t like kisses that’s all, it has nothing to do with zodiac sign
The description fits my ex girlfriend completely. Unfortunately, I still have no idea what went wrong to make things change suddenly.
They need a partner who curbs their doubts and fear, gives them hope and support and someone who is there for them when they appear at their weakness and instead of pointing out the cracks in their armour.

Absolutely perfect sketch of Capricorn… My husband is Capricorn and we are living a wonderful life… We have been together since 12 years of marriage and 15 yrs of love… Its great spending life with him. He’s amazing in everything…. ❤❤❤
I am a Virgo married to a Capricorn, we have been together for 57 years, ups and downs but would not change him for anyone. He is my soulmate we still kiss and cuddle like lovebirds.
Your comment totally brought me to tears.. Simply because my parents were together for 60 yrs. Same signs as yours.. Me..I’m a Capricorn myself.. You’ve given me hope that love still prevails.. Tysm my dear.. 😊😊😉😉❤❤❤
Your are right about us , I’m a capricorn too. Dec. 26 . My husband married me with 4 kids and he had none until we Adopted 2 . He was
Aquarius 7th . We stayed together 35 yrs and married 32 yrs until he was called home. I have dated two
Aquarius’s in my life time the other one Jan. 22 . There no signs alike . I dated him 4 yrs before I met the late one. different like night and day . But I’m attractive to
Aquarius men . Everybody are different . I loved the Feb 7th we was soul mates.
You nailed my life to a great accuracy as a Capricorn I salute you.
As a Capricorn ♑️ woman I must say this is a very accurate description. I do disagree with the part about someone getting close to us through spirituality. For me although I am a spiritual Capricorn but that isn’t the way to my heart. As a matter of fact I keep my spiritual mind and life private. The way to my heart is to just be honest and loyal.

As a capricon too I know i’m like this !!!
I’m married to a Capricorn and I’m a Gemini. This explains a lot about my man. There are some things that don’t fit his personality but then again it also explains why I can’t get him to open up and express his feelings. I thought it was something deeper from his upbringing which is my situation. Him not saying he loves me on a regular basis is troubling but after reading this it does help me understand him better. I also see that sex is how they communicate too. Well at 57, I’m not all in which is causing a problem too. I thought he was being selfish and it all being about him and probably is the case. Idk, but at least I’m getting the low down on how he thinks and acts towards me at times.
I am a Capricorn to my whole life what I have spent I didn’t know all of these things about me as a Capricorn and I am gonna be married in the couples of day
Thanks for all of these information
You nailed it, that’s my husband from 1 to 10. Serious with aspects of life.
That article was touch, as myself I am a Capricorn and I have a boyfriend that is also a Capricorn. Sometimes he doesn’t say in words that he loves me, and neither do I but we love each other very much.💚💚
Wow! Can I just take this and share it as my bio instead of spending unnecessary hours telling people who I am, because really, you covered me completely.
I am a Capricorn. I feel your descriptions are extremely accurate. However, in my experience, other people don’t seem to care about loyalty and faithfulness – unfortunately!
I’m an aquarius and i’m seeing someone for the past 14yrs..he’s a capricorn…i can feel that he loves me whenever i’m with him..but he seldoms tells me the words..but whenever he says it i’m over the moon…he’s not the talkative type..but when he does,he’ll talk and make jokes around…he tells me his plans for the future but as if i’m not included with his future.and i never asks…there was a time when i told him if i just wasted my 14yrs for him..he just brushed it off..didnt say anything…just smiled…any suggestions that you can give me?i’m really lost..but i really really love him…i don’t want to loose him…💔
Am also a Capricorn and I was dating a Capricorn thar I just lost now because I wasn’t communicative enough and what she needed wasn’t met that’s why she left not that there isn’t love but she’s just up and leave am so heart broken cos she is the best woman I’ve ever dated or been with.
I dont know if I will ever be able to get her back
Does two Capricorns ever live forever?
Is there anything I can do to bring her back?
I’m with a Capricorn it’s all true except he has horrible communication skills….. Just shits down.
I’m a Capricorn, my husband was a Sagittarius, there was nothing about Sagittarius!!
I am an anxious individual, diagnosed with anxiety and depression and my Capricorn boyfriend of 3 years suffered hurt ( who hasnt ?) Says he hasnt had a ” normal” telationship.taught nothing about relationships really ,would much prefer it to be a partner thing….bonding with no rushing anything he gets very upset when I try to have a serious conversation with him because he says he doesn’t know what to say but he sure knows how to throw hurtful under the belt comments…. I’m finding that he always has to be right and even if he’s not he’ll argue it to the death nothing is ever his fault he’d rather be left alone and it makes a person feel very unwanted he is also emotionally unavailable and then avoidant on top of that and I don’t see how I will ever break through to get him to understand that I will not hurt him but I on the other turn have needs as well I understand respecting somebody but I believe in a relationship that person has to respect you back it is extremely tough and it’s an extremely lonely relationship where you continue to just keep trying to figure out what’s wrong or what the problem is and it’s always nothing… he triggers me like no other but I love him we grew up together we have so much in common and we laugh a lot but I seem to find more Discord as time goes any suggestions would be helpful thank you… I know that I am far from perfect believe me but it seems like every time we have a conversation it’s me pointing out all my faults why he just sits there and stares at me and doesn’t reciprocate anything
You just described my Capi almost to the T. I’m always left not knowing what happened and why he refuses to answer questions that I ask. So I’m glad to know that’s why he distances himself when I try to communicate with him. Makes me feel like he doesn’t care. But now I know I’m not alone and that there are others that deal with the same issue.
I agree they sometimes shut down and get quiet. But he (mine) does come back to normal. They need time in their own head and space.
OMG this so fits me…
Only ONE thing.
BE AUTHENTIC. 😂 They see you through, very well.
Im aries woman dating a capricorn guy all i do is show him a that im serious on him and a lots of patience i incourage him and support him all the time for nao our relationship very smoothly he love me dearly as i am to him…
In my experience, I only found 6, 7, and 10 to be somewhat accurate. Everything else was incorrect.
This article is very on point! Unfortunately I am the Capi paired with a Scorp for the past 2 decades. I AM feeling burn out, heartbreak and betrayal. I AM taking my time getting over him and the loss of the relationship through meditating on a higher power and the big picture. I was faithful, hardworking, and dependable for the sake of the success of the marriage. My efforts were never good enough for him and this fact lead to mental exhaustion, physical pain, and emotional devistation. I raised a family of 6 while he built a business and invested in what mattered to him. I’m alone now and feel the full weight of the failure trigger you talk about. I feel absolutely used up.
I just started dating a Capricorn a couple of months ago and MOST of this seemed spot on about how he is. It helped me to understand him better by reading this article. I’m a Scorpio, and I’m not sure why you don’t have a Scorpio as a compatible match. We are very loving, understanding, patient, loyal, honest and amazing lovers. Lol. We are also very spiritual. And, I, myself, am one of the least judgemental people I’ve ever known. The one thing I disagree VERY MUCH with that you said about the Capricorn is, that they want a conventional marriage. THAT IS THE VERY LAST THING HE WANTS! He doesn’t like that same old, boring, typical relationship AT ALL! He wants things on a whole nother level! He let me know quick that if I wanted to live day to day like normal couples, he wanted me to move along. He wants most every day to feel exciting and fresh and new! To always show my beauty and surprise him regularly! Also, as stated previously, me being a Scorpio (regarding compatibility) we will go above and beyond for the ones we love. That is what my Capricorn wants!
Have a Capricorn man. The best ever. I’m a Libra and calm him most of the time. I can over-talk, be too chatty. It’s true about just getting to the point with a Capricorn. He is serious and faithful…but he’s fun too.
I enjoyed reading this. All this time I’ve never believed in zodiac signs, but this is exactly my personality. Very spot on, thank you👌🏼
OH MY a Capricorn very sexual and truly a work horse . Was really a sweet boyfriend for a little while. Learning he was sent to conspire against me , he still was fairly decent .
I’ve been dating a Capricorn for over 6 months. He’s great and serious. He says he loves me but doesn’t seem like he’s in love with me. It’s long distance, not that far. but he doesn’t come to see me much. I enjoy our time, it’s my vacation, but he’s always serious and a home body. He gave me a ring at 3 months and said in the one and I needed that. What’s does that mean. He never gave me a reason. lol. But I’m happy so far. Thanks for the info. I will definitively pay closer attention.
