There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I’d never do again
But then they’d always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow.
This is an underrated cosmic connection. It certainly doesn’t get much airtime, and I feel it’s underestimated as a really strong cosmic match between two powerful, sensual characters who can have a great deal of satisfaction romantically and also sexually.
This is an astrology match between two cardinal signs, and that’s the first thing that gives me a lot of confidence in this combination. They are both ambitious zodiac signs who look to move forward, who take action, and who have a very robust approach to life. They are strong characters; they have a lot of self-control and can be fairly stoic.
These characters are not whimsical, they have a serious and mature approach to life, which is why they make good companions. Both of them are fairly persevering; they can also be quite good planners and are fairly strategic. Both these star signs see the value of setting down roots and having a stable, long-term relationship, and neither are shy of making sacrifices for love.
Libra is air; Capricorn is earth, which is not always ideal, as for Libra, communication is a love language, whereas for Capricorn, it’s more about physical affection. However, because Libra is ruled by Venus (a planet that loves what’s attractive, soothing, and luxurious), that can tick Capricorn’s boxes, as earth signs are pretty sensual.
Now, the other key element is that the ruler of Capricorn, Saturn, is exalted in Libra, meaning Capricorn could come into their own, feel truly accepted, and gain confidence by being with a Libra.
This astrology combination gets an 80% chance of being successful, particularly in the long term, but it may be a little bit slow to get off the ground, as both of these star signs have reservations and need to see the proof in the pudding. They don’t take relationships or commitment lightly.
Romantic Compatibility
The planet Venus with an earth sign is always fertile ground for romance to blossom and develop. Both of these zodiac signs love going to nice places; they have fairly sophisticated tastes and they are ambitious as a couple and will together aspire to do things that help them both grow. They’re both achievement-oriented and like talking about their work ambitions or their broader life goals, so talking about the future is one of the love languages between these two.
Now, Libra is a lot more communicative, but Libra doesn’t mind a partner who doesn’t always talk a lot, they’re quite happy to do the talking, and Capricorn is a rather good listener.
In romance, Libra wants a Sun sign that is mature, and this is where Capricorn ticks a lot of the right boxes. One of the drawbacks in romance, however, is that Capricorn doesn’t always surprise Libra. Sometimes Libra needs to get the adrenaline flowing by being pushed out of their comfort zone and challenged a little more, so Capricorn has to work harder at the surprise and spontaneity aspect of romance to really keep Libra engaged.
In the initial phases of this relationship, Capricorn really enjoys being with Libra because Libra is friendly, congenial, and usually has a lot of style in the way they dress or use interesting accessories that make them visually appealing. Capricorn loves the visually romantic style of Libra.
Capricorns can be a little shy and not always that socially confident, so it helps them to be with a charming sign like Libra because it puts them at ease. Libra is quite confident socially, and that’s a good trait for Capricorn to be around as it rubs off on them.
During romance, they will do a lot of cool things together, but this is not the best romance for excitement per se, it’s more about becoming familiar, beginning to trust each other, and both of them feeling like they can open up emotionally, which is something very special about this romance.
Sexual Compatibility between Libra and Capricorn
There will indeed be sexual excitement in this zodiac match. Capricorn is an enthusiastic lover; they certainly want to put themselves out there, and sexuality is a key love language for Capricorn. The bedroom is where they show care, attention to detail, and the amount of love they have to give. When a Capricorn wants to be intimate with you, you know they really love you because they don’t waste their time, and that’s reassuring for Libra.
Now, Libra can be a little lazy in love, so it’s perfect that Capricorn likes to take the lead. They like to initiate, come up with ideas, and push some boundaries, which suits Libra, who wants to be pampered, cherished, and adored in the bedroom but who doesn’t necessarily want to be pushed out of their comfort zone or get coerced into anything difficult in bed. Libra loves luxury; they won’t really get turned on by a camping holiday, for example.
Capricorn likes a confident, determined, and positive lover, and Libra is exactly that. Libra has a great deal of self-assuredness and comes across as capable and pragmatic, something Capricorn admires. They’re not going to open up intimately to someone flippant or cavalier, and they can see that Libra takes relationships seriously.
The Friendship Factor Between Libra and Capricorn
One of the problems in this star sign match is that they won’t necessarily be great friends. There is a lot of chemistry between them, they’re drawn to each other sexually and romantically, but communication isn’t one of their strongest suits.
Libra has a wide circle of friends and enjoys their social life, whereas Capricorn can be more of a homebody or someone who likes to spend time with a select group of long-term friends. Their social preferences differ, so they may not always enjoy each other’s friends, so they need to give each other social space.
This friendship is powerful because they intuitively understand each other, and there’s an unspoken bond. It’s also supportive because they support each other in their respective careers.
They can be very cooperative in family life and child-rearing, but as “besties”, well that’s not their strongest area of compatibility. They’ll probably have better friendships outside the relationship, but they can trust each other not to stray.
Long-Term Potential and Marriage
These two zodiac signs enjoy commitment. They like the challenge of a relationship, and what’s notable about both of them is their patience and stoicism. In marriage, the ups and downs rarely deter them, in fact, they can make the bond even sweeter.
They don’t get bogged down by imperfections. Capricorn understands that everything in life has its drawbacks, and one must work on weaknesses while capitalizing on strengths. Libra has a similar pragmatic approach. Libra is highly cooperative and enjoys teamwork, and Capricorn likes a partner with a logical approach to problems.
However, there’s some jealousy and competitiveness in this star sign match as both like to take control. Capricorn does it overtly; Libra does it through persuasion. So, there can be a tussle for control, a stalemate at times.
It’s important for them to have separate areas of life where each can lead; otherwise, they’ll clash. Still, their shared sense of responsibility and determination often outweigh these challenges.
Strengths and Weaknesses of This Relationship
There’s a lot of chemistry and sexual attraction in this zodiac match. It’s romantically and intimately rewarding. They immediately trust each other, and although the relationship is slow to start, they enjoy the journey and become more attached over time.
These star signs cooperate well together. They’re ambitious, pragmatic, and not deterred by problems. They know that love requires work and patience. They also support each other’s family and career goals, thriving when both partners have purpose. This couple will do well if both have a career because both like to achieve and feel a sense of purpose in their lives. Neither will want to hold the other back, and sometimes a bit of healthy competition drives each of them forward.
However, communication can be tricky as both are strong-willed and persuasive, and both like to lead, resulting in a subtle power struggle. Still, this doesn’t stop them from enjoying life together.
While Libra is interested in teamwork and Capricorn wants to be cooperative too, the teamwork and communication element is a little bit of a sticking point. They have very different styles of communicating. Both are strong-willed and persuasive, and both like to lead, so in this relationship, there’s a tug of war going on, a subtle battle for control. In a quiet way, they can both be a tad controlling of each other, but it shouldn’t be prohibitive in terms of stopping either of them from enjoying their life.
This relationship can sometimes be frustrating. It’s off to a slow start, as both of them tend to initially hold back emotionally, and there’s often more tension than there really needs to be. There will also be periods in the relationship where things are a little bit cold and where they struggle to relate to each other or to open up. However, as I say, they both tend to be in it for the long haul, and they want to make it work, so they should be able to move past the hurdles caused by this occasional estrangement.
Capricorn does require a little bit more nurturing and empathy, and Libra can believe in tough-love. Libra tends to think partners should grow up and stand on their own two feet, while sometimes Capricorn wants a bit of sympathy and can be a little sorry for themselves and pessimistic and this really gets on Libra’s nerves. So, Capricorn can feel a little unloved, and Libra can find Capricorn a little needy.
Occasionally, Capricorn can be a bit of a workaholic, and sometimes they don’t generate enough of an adrenaline rush to keep Libra engaged emotionally. So, Capricorn has to work harder to be spontaneous and not always to have this need to think things through to such a great extent.
Final Verdict
This star sign match has a high chance of success, around 80%. Both these zodiac signs are wise, sensible, and responsible, approaching love with a practical mindset. There’s also a high degree of sexual chemistry, and the bedroom connection can be deeply satisfying for both.
They complement each other’s needs well, thrive as parents, and support each other’s ambitions. While they may clash over communication or social differences, they respect each other’s independence.
Sometimes, the relationship can feel a bit cold or emotionally distant, but both are in it for the long haul. Capricorn may need more nurturing and empathy, while Libra practices tough love. Capricorn can sometimes feel unloved, and Libra may find Capricorn needy or pessimistic. Capricorn also risks becoming a workaholic, which can dull the emotional spark.
To keep the relationship fresh, they’ll need to cultivate separate social outlets and light-hearted fun outside of their serious, behind the scenes, relationship dynamic.
This match is especially strong when first-decan Libra pairs with Capricorn, or when third-decan Capricorn pairs with Libra. It also benefits if one has a Cancer rising or an Aries Moon.
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.
