Traditional and conservative in their values, Capricorn is a typical Earth sign: fuss-free and stable. Individuals under this sign are independent and perseverant, both in their professions and in their personal lives. They are good at conserving their own energy so that they can continue to work, live and play without burning out or getting carried away with the chaos and dramatics of life.
Capricorns are realists and thrive when they have plans and goals and steps to get there. Practical and focused on what they can see, measure and understand, Capricorn can sometimes be stubborn and immutable. They are natural leaders and blossom when they're given freedom to guide, direct and nurture people around them. They don't respond well to being micromanaged or questioned.
Best Matches
Taurus: Earthy Taurus is a great match for their fellow Earth sign, Capricorn. Both enjoy having a steady, shared love of routine and being attuned to the other's need for space and comfort. Both are highly practical and like to share their plans, make individual and shared goals, and neither are inclined to being dramatic or imaginative at the expense of enjoying their lives as they are, right now.
Cancer: Quite a departure in personality, Cancer is proof that opposites can attract. While both Cancer and Capricorn are tenacious and determined, Capricorn's practicality is countered by Cancer's imaginative, emotional nature. Cancer loves being at home preparing and sharing a good meal, as does Capricorn. So, while Capricorn is at work, leading, managing and directing, Cancer thrives on caring, nurturing and being of service to others. As a couple, they provide the best of both worlds. One is the practical anchor, the other is the caring, supportive and imaginative breath of fresh air.
