Stand by Me
When two Earth signs come together, it is going to be a sensual experience that has a generous helping of romance and satisfaction for both parties on a physical and material level. I know a lot of people will be excited about this match because two Earth signs together seem like a promising prospect. However, sometimes there is far too much conservatism in this relationship.
Not only is Taurus Earth, it’s also a fixed sign, so therefore we have a double whammy of the need for stability, setting down roots, caution, and security. Additionally, in Capricorn, we have an Earth sign ruled by Saturn. Saturn is a planet that is very stoic, determined, patient, and loves planning. So, when these two come together, there’s almost too much caution, too many questions and too much analysis.
Will they ever get into a relationship, or will they talk themselves out of a relationship before it even gets going? They’re more likely to think of all the potential hurdles than the benefits. This is a couple who spend too long looking before they leap — and that can mean that the relationship stagnates, gets into a rut, and they both end up feeling a lack of fulfillment.
On the positive side, this couple can care deeply for each other. They are committed to making it work. They are sensible and responsible; they’ll respect each other. There’s a huge amount of trust, and because they’re both pretty good with money, they can build a fair degree of financial prosperity.
This relationship is pretty compatible but the long term success rate is 65%.
Romantic Compatibility Between Taurus and Capricorn
What I feel is vibrant about this relationship romantically is that they tend to communicate well. They will tell each other a lot of the proverbial “sweet nothings”, hitting the right notes. They’re affectionate; the relationship is very affirming. Both will benefit in this match through feeling better about themselves, having more powerful self-esteem, and growing in confidence and this is brilliant.
Capricorn needs a little bit more confidence; Taurus could do with being nudged out of their comfort zones. As Capricorn is a cardinal sign, they are by nature more pioneering, and they’ll help encourage Taurus into new activities, phases of life, and growth. The Taurus feels quite good around the masculine energy of Capricorn.
Romantically, it’s a compatible match because Taurus is a feminine-flavoured sign, being Venus-ruled, while Capricorn is a masculine energy. When they come together, there’s a good yin and yang. This relationship tends to be positive romantically and both of them will have fun,
feel more carefree together, and enjoy life. Plus, they both seek status; they like having swish places to go and enjoy a fairly sophisticated taste in romance. Romantically, it’s A-OK.
Sexual Compatibility Between Taurus and Capricorn
There’s a fair amount of desire that goes on when we have two Earth signs, guaranteed. Capricorns have a very sexual nature, and when they’re comfortable with someone and there’s a high level of trust, that really comes to the fore. Obviously, Capricorns are a more reserved sign, so they really need to feel comfortable with someone in order to open up — and yes, with Taurus they do. They feel accepted, loved, and like the relationship is solid, so they will want to give vent to their full sexual creativity.
Taurus can be a bit lazy sexually as the relationship goes on, so over time Capricorn will feel that the Taurus isn’t putting in as much effort, and they can begin to feel a little bit let down.
Capricorns like to dominate in the sexual arena; they like to show who’s boss. They like to lead the way, and Taurus quite like to follow and be shown new things. As Taurus are a little bit less inventive sexually, they really crave something interesting in that area. So Capricorn needs not only to be earthy but also a little bit inventive to keep Taurus interested — or Taurus will get lazy.
Friendship Between Taurus and Capricorn Friendship
These two are naturally friendly with each other. They understand each other’s needs; they’re naturally complementary, friendly, and conflict-avoiding. Where the friendship can potentially suffer is that Capricorn can be a little bit critical. They are hard taskmasters. Sometimes Taurus may feel Capricorn is too pushy, too domineering, and may even find them a little bit too fussy.
There are times when Taurus really wants to be easy-going and mellow, and Capricorn never really switches off. They are always pushing for the next thing, and sometimes Taurus just wants to enjoy life. So, this can lead to them going in different directions, looking for satisfaction. Capricorn can sometimes feel Taurus lacks motivation and is a little bit lethargic. Taurus may feel Capricorn is too worried about what other people think and is losing touch with their true nature.
They both need to maintain that down-to-earth honesty for the friendship to stay strong — otherwise, they can both become critical of each other.
Marriage and Long Term Potential
As you can see, there are many ways in which Capricorn and Taurus can have a very successful, compatible relationship. But how is the marriage — will this end up being a match made in heaven or something devised by a soap opera script writer?
In terms of marriage, Capricorn needs an ambitious partner who shares a desire to create change, better themselves and maintain momentum. Taurus tends to settle, conserve and accept. There’s a chance that Capricorn may feel Taurus lack ambition, take the easy way out, or are simply not self-motivated enough.
Often Taurus, although friendly and charming, can fail to feed Capricorn emotionally. Taurus like things spelled out in a logical way, and often the deeper emotions that Capricorn harbour aren’t easily perceived by Taurus. Taurus isn’t always in tune with Capricorn emotionally, so Capricorn can feel a little bit misunderstood and emotionally neglected.
Taurus may also feel that Capricorn is too self-controlled. Taurus likes to see a bit of drama, emotion, and passion — and while Capricorn can be passionate in the bedroom, sometimes their personality is a little bit too pragmatic and stoic. Taurus could even find them cold. Taurus enjoy people who wear their heart on their sleeve and are sometimes a little bit more flamboyant, and they can perhaps find the Capricorn personality predictable and lacking in flair.
Strengths and Weaknesses
This relationship is strong on trust, loyalty, and determination to work at it in a practical way.
The relationship also benefits from strong romantic and sexual attraction, meaning they find each other appealing and are both interested in physical affection.
Financially, they should be a prosperous couple, as they are both hard workers who are keen to create a secure foundation for their future.
On the negative side, this relationship can suffer from stagnation. Since both star signs are geared to be more cautious and risk-averse, sometimes the relationship becomes dull and set in its grooves, and both could feel like they’re perhaps missing out.
The Capricorn is frustrated by the more opinionated and stubborn side of Taurus, and likewise, Taurus can find the Capricorn too cool, a bit of a workaholic, and someone who perhaps, over time, becomes a little too bossy and assertive.
They are unlikely to be jealous of each other, as they are very different in many ways, but sometimes a little bit of envy and competitiveness creeps in that can cause them both to make sly remarks or be a little bit unhelpful in terms of relationship cooperation.
The Final Verdict
Despite all the areas of compatibility in this relationship — like the masculine and feminine energy, the strong sensual earthiness, and the mutual respect — I’m only giving it a 65% chance of being successful, simply because there’s not enough points of difference to keep it exciting.
Often they don’t quite give each other what they would most like in a relationship. Taurus misses the passion, the ups and downs, and the searing heart and spontaneous expressions of emotion; they might find Capricorn too self-controlled. Capricorn wants someone that understands them intuitively and deeply nurtures and mothers them, and Taurus is perhaps a little uninspired by that type of relationship.
Financially, they can be successful because they are cautious with money, enjoy saving, and have a desire for a prosperous life. In general, their values are aligned, and there’s a strong sexual and romantic compatibility.
This relationship is stronger if Taurus has a Cancer moon or Ascendant and if Capricorn has Scorpio moon or Aquarius Ascendant.
Second decan Taurus are best with Capricorn. Third decan Capricorn are best with Taurus.
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.
