The Art of Attraction

Above all, Capricorn wants assurance should he falter. He does want emotional security, but one stereotype is true: All Capricorns need to know their love partnerships are also covered financially at all times. But what many astrologers fail to see is that the buck literally stops here. It bears repeating that not every Capricorn is good at making mountains of money. He only really needs to know that things can be paid for. This, indeed, is incredibly important to him, even if Capricorn makes it seem like it's not.

The Long Haul

Yet, Capricorn devotes his love, heart and soul, when he's sure of you. He's very linked with family. Actually, Capricorn is a real provider — Capricorn man, especially. He'll want to be the major breadwinner. In fact, he can be a bit adamant about living off the money he, and only he, makes. Insecure Capricorns, though they try to hide it — will be dead set on proving to you that they can support you completely, in terms of work, home, and finances.

Capricorn, regardless of whether or not she's close to her family, is not likely to move to a different country or even another county on a moment's notice. She tends to stay close to home base or at least take the time to decide on a big move.

Also, Capricorn will stick around even when a relationship is less than stellar. Sure, she'll complain to her friends and family and even warn you that she's on her way out, but it will take a lot just for her to walk away without looking back (not unlike Taurus). This is true of all Capricorns. Like Aries, they hate the thought that they might be “missing out” and they also simply can't stand teary goodbye scenes.

FACT

Even if Capricorn is a born pessimistic, she's not naive. What you may call negative, she'll call realistic. This goes for clothing, too. She admires a man who knows how to dress for the occasion.

He/She: The Little Stuff Counts

Capricorn, it should be said, is also almost always conservative in nature. He very much appreciates an out-there, gaudy, sensual, and sexy look, but he's more likely to be drawn to the tried-and-true: a nice suit or tailored pants with pearls, or a dignified button-down with pants and good (comfortable but expensive) shoes.

Resourceful and Inspiring

There's something incredibly inspiring about Capricorn. Her personality is so polished, even if her clothes aren't always. She's smart — like an international sponge. She soaks up all kinds of information and spews it out on a moment's notice. She's incredibly resourceful, too. And she's got a big heart — for the pursuits and people she deems worthy.

ALERT!

Just make sure not to get on the wrong side of Capricorn. Quietly and carefully, he'll sneak up on you — instinctively knowing how to push your buttons. And he has a fantastic memory … he can reach back decades into his bottomless memory to find something to throw back at you.

In truth, you need only win a Capricorn's affection to see the fiery, beautiful, sweet soul lurking underneath. With friends and in love, Capricorn woman and Capricorn man are equally unlikely to wear their hearts on their sleeves. But if they really respect you and dub you a “worthwhile cause,” you may feel like royalty — because they'll treat you that way. They're more givers than takers, generous rather than parsimonious.
