Stand by me.
This is a cosmic relationship that is a rocky road, but if you’ve ever had a rocky road confectionery treat, you know that there are some rather tasty cherries and soft, squishy marshmallows in there, it’s not all about the nuts and crunchy bits.
What I’m trying to say here is that this is a star sign match between two rather masculine, energetic, and assertive zodiac signs. Both of these signs like to take dominion, lead, and seize control. They can be fairly forceful and forthright, and each has a strong will which means when they come together, there are going to be bones of contention, a tussle for power, and often there are deep insecurities aroused when one gets the better of the other and that’s why I say it can be rocky.
Where we get to our juicy cherries and our squishy marshmallows is that both are extremely loving. Leo has a warm, big heart; Capricorn is a sensual protector who wants to develop a strong bond.
Capricorn is known as the goat who slowly but steadily, with determination, makes its way to the top of the mountain, the lion is known as the king of the jungle. The goat will reach the summit of the mountain; the lion will prevail in the jungle.
Both these star signs have incredible power. They have awesome determination, and they want to succeed in life. We’re looking at two ambitious partners who can achieve the life of their dreams, and also two astrology signs who can bring each other the emotional protection and deep bond of love that both aspire to in life.
This relationship may often be fated as they may be soulmates who fall in love at first sight. While they don’t truly understand each other or necessarily always like everything about each other, there is a desire to work hard to improve the relationship, and they see within each other a courage that is quite sexy.
This relationship has a 75% chance of long-term success.
Romantic Compatibility
There is a degree of romance in terms of both these zodiac signs being aspirational and wanting to treat each other, go to nice places, and also having gifting as a love language. There are a few problems in terms of communication and timing. Capricorn is incredibly patient, reserved, and is likely to be more skeptical of the Leo. Leo likes relationships to move fast and is often very disconcerted or even disappointed if a partner doesn’t immediately show an effusive and warm response.
One of the drawbacks in romance is that Capricorn is quite stoic. They’re not necessarily a very enthusiastic, gregarious character, and therefore Leo feels a little bit misunderstood or not fully appreciated. In terms of Capricorn, they can find Leo a bit showy and pushy, while Capricorn might prefer a slightly more modest, understated partner. They’re not immediately ticking each other’s boxes, but there is some sexual chemistry and excitement there, so they’re drawn to each other at a level of animal instinct.
This cosmic match has powerful levels of desire. So, romantically, Leo needs to have patience in this romance, and Capricorn needs to not judge a book by its cover, because with Leo, there are many delights to their intimate nature that are not automatically obvious. Likewise with Capricorn, patience is key.
Sexual Compatibility between Leo and Capricorn
Sexually, this can be a very exciting relationship. There’s a deep pull between them and a desire to keep plugging on, so even when they have their arguments or go cold on each other, there is always enough impetus for them to resume communication and give things another chance, and this keeps the relationship going.
They are intrigued by each other. They both like a little bit of mystery to unpack, especially when it comes to the bedroom.
Capricorn really loves the Leo’s warmth, positivity, and that charisma and energy that Leo brings to the bedroom. Capricorns enjoy the sexual side of life, it’s something that helps them feel good about everything, and when the sex life is going well, Capricorn’s ego is strong and they are much happier and more positive. Leo can really make that side of life pop for them.
One of the factors that makes Capricorn excited about Leo is that Leo has such innate optimism and a love of life that’s so natural that Capricorn is inspired by it.
Leo doesn’t necessarily want something straightforward in the bedroom; they enjoy a bit of mystery, but at the same time, what Leo likes in the bedroom is something quite gentle, poignant, romantic, and not necessarily rushed. Capricorn is able to cultivate the right kind of ambience to help Leo feel protected and to open up. Capricorns are good listeners, they have a protective instinct, and that helps Leo feel secure enough to open up in love and show that squishy marshmallow side of them.
Friendship Between Leo and Capricorn
This is a couple who need separate interests, and they may not be friends with the same kind of people. They tend to have different interests and preferences when it comes to having fun and enjoying themselves, so it’s really important that they don’t crowd each other and that they give each other space.
Now, Leo has a jealous side, but when it comes to Capricorn, they are fairly okay with Capricorn doing their own thing. The one important point however which can be a little bit of a problem is that some Capricorn men are ladies’ men and tend to flirt. So, when the combination is Leo woman and Capricorn man, there can be some jealousy issues.
Capricorn tend to like their own space and are often workaholics, so they need a partner who’s fairly self-sufficient. They like the fact that Leos are socially gregarious and fairly outgoing people who are capable of forging a life of their own. Capricorn doesn’t want a partner who’s too needy or clingy; they want a capable partner and therefore, they like that can do attitude in Leo.
These two star signs make good colleagues, but they’re not necessarily bosom buddies who need to spend all their free time hanging out together. Once they are married, it’s important that they share a family life but also have their separate interests.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
Neither the goat nor the lion are quitters. In fact, their motto in marriage is “winners don’t quit, and quitters don’t win.” So once they commit to each other, they will both want to make the marriage work. Pride is also a big thing with them, and neither of them feels good walking away, so they will put their backs into making this relationship successful.
What’s great about a marriage between these two astrology signs is that they can be quite traditional in terms of family values. Leo definitely wants to have children, Capricorn loves the idea of family life, and therefore making decisions together about starting a family should be simple.
However, one of the big bones of contention in marriage is that both of them like to make the decisions and wear the pants in the house. They really need to have distinct areas of life that they can have autonomy over, because they are not very cooperative. Neither of them are good team players, and they’re not good at compromising. As soon as either has to compromise, they start thinking of ways to get around it and that undermines trust. So it’s very important that they both control separate areas of life.
When it comes to rearing the children, they both are very ambitious and if anything, they’ll be a little bit pushy as parents encouraging achievement. Otherwise, they tend to agree on child-rearing matters.
This can be a partnership of workaholics who can sometimes forget fun and begin to take life a little too seriously. So they are a couple who definitely need relaxing holidays, where they blow off steam and resurrect fun.
Although Leo is a fun-loving sign, this is a relationship that can lose the fun factor and become a bit stressful, so they have to manage their stress levels carefully, as well as diet, because together they sometimes get involved in too much indulgence.
Strengths and Challenges
This is a power zodiac match. We have two incredibly determined, ambitious people who are also capable of deep levels of love, loyalty, and affection, which can make this a combination that is transformative and fulfilling at a very deep level. It may even be a soulmate match or, in some cases, love at first sight.
They both have a very masculine exterior that is bold, takes leadership, and is very determined, but underneath, both have a more gentle, shy side that needs to be nurtured. When they both understand that soft centre they share, they are the ideal nurturers and protectors of each other.
These star signs take relationships seriously, and when together, they take life fairly seriously too and are both capable of assuming adequate levels of responsibility. They both commit to the relationship and have a very stoic and positive way of dealing with life together. They are both interested in raising a family and will generally concur on child-related issues.
One of the issues in this relationship is that communication is not particularly successful initially, which can mean the relationship gets off to a stuttering start. Even later in the relationship, they tend to bicker and argue rather than have productive conversations. Both are proud and both like winning, and that can often be the wrong attitude to go into any conversation with. They definitely need to develop cooperative skills and be more conciliatory towards each other.
Sometimes, in the relationship, things can get quite intense. There can be some dramatic moments when both erupt and lose their temper. This match can often feel like a pressure cooker, and it’s important that they both have different friends and other interests where they can blow off steam. They don’t always fully understand each other, and often their life is quite stressful, so there’s not enough time for long chats and that’s why it’s important that they have rituals surrounding times and dates where communication takes place.
Capricorn is very patient, likes to plan, and hates risk. Leo is much more spontaneous and whimsical and is fairly neutral about risk. Leo is definitely not the most risk-loving sign out there, being fixed, but Leo does give the impression of a devil-may-care attitude, and that can rub Capricorn up the wrong way. Capricorn can come across like the old wise man or woman, and that can sometimes make Leo feel a little bit inferior. Both may accuse each other of superiority complexes, but often this is a cover, because both do actually feel a little bit inferior on the inside, strangely enough.
Final Verdict
Although this zodiac match will have rocky patches, times of misunderstanding, and periods where they get under each other’s skin, I feel that it is a powerful relationship that has chemistry and can have a beautiful romance and a strong sexual element.
They are both incredibly determined yet realistic characters who can create the life of their dreams. They are powerful together when it comes to business and finances. They are a dynamic couple when it comes to family life and raising children, and what’s more, both of them have a lot of tenacity and won’t quit.
Neither of these will want to walk out on the other. They both feel responsible to each other and to the relationship. Both have insecurities deep down, and they both need love, nurturing, and a lot of attention. If they can both recognize that and successfully communicate their love to each other, this can be a wonderful relationship.
This astrology combination has a 75% chance of long-term success.
Second decan Capricorn is best with Leo, and third decan Leo is best with Capricorn. This relationship can also benefit when there’s a Pisces Moon within one of them, a Cancer Ascendant, or perhaps a Taurus Ascendant.
Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
