Leo and Capricorn Compatibility in Love and Relationships
Leo and Capricorn in a relationship are more rivals than lovers: neither gives warmth first. Work or friendship suits them better, as both crave success.
What draws them together
Respect. Leo sees that Capricorn won't be swept along by a mood and delivers what was promised, and that persistence moves Leo more than Leo admits. Capricorn admires how Leo can walk into a room of strangers and have it on side within a quarter of an hour. They usually meet at work, often as rivals for the same post, and after the first joint project find they take each other seriously. Capricorn has a dry wit that Leo catches a second late, and then both laugh. Under the official mask, Capricorn is more sensitive than Capricorn lets on.
Love and intimacy
It starts slowly and carefully. Leo expects fireworks, Capricorn opens up over months, and in the meantime Leo wonders whether it is worth the bother. Capricorn doesn't praise, and when Capricorn says "good job" that is a declaration. But Leo wilts without spoken praise and Capricorn doesn't realise anything more is needed. In intimacy Capricorn is reserved, and Leo would like more theatre and play. When Capricorn relaxes, both are surprised, and it is remembered for a long time.
Everyday life and home
Two hard workers, each at a laptop, and a silence in the flat that isn't unpleasant, only cool. Leo spends for effect, Capricorn saves for old age, so they have two budgets instead of one. Joint bills go better than joint moods. As colleagues or friends they usually get on better than as a couple: Capricorn supplies the plan, Leo sells it convincingly, and nobody needs to be warm about it. Years on, they are two successful people in one flat, who leave each other notes on the fridge in the morning and by evening struggle for something to talk about.
Where it rubs and how to ease it
Warmth is missing. Capricorn can't praise and Leo can't live without it, so they compete over who came out of the meeting better. They quarrel about prestige, about who earns more and who is promoted first, and both are stubborn types. When Capricorn is hurt, Capricorn goes cold, and Leo flares up. One sentence of appreciation a day, spoken and unconditional, helps, as does a fixed time when work is not discussed. Charts are bigger than Sun signs, though, and where one person's Venus sits well with the other's Moon, the missing warmth can turn up.
Leo man and Capricorn woman
A Capricorn woman doesn't flatter a Leo man, which puzzles him at first. She earns as much as he does and has no plans to host grand dinners. She shows love through deeds: she fixes his CV and never mentions it. He should notice and thank her, and she should admit, just once, that she is proud of him.
Leo woman and Capricorn man
A Capricorn man is reserved and a Leo woman wants to be seen. At first they seem a poor match, because he avoids parties. In time she understands that his silence isn't indifference. She shouldn't expect him to turn showman, and he should tell her at least once that she looks wonderful. Otherwise she will misread him.
Keeping it alive
- Say one sentence of appreciation every evening, even on a grey day.
- Don't compete at home over who is more successful at work.
- Once a month give up a plan and do something with no use.

Leo Zodiac Sign
Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. Leos need to create, lead and be seen, and when they are, they warm everyone around them.
Capricorn Zodiac Sign
Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac, a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn. Capricorns climb toward their goals step by step, like a mountain goat on a cliff, and rarely give up.
