When Libra and Capricorn come together in a love
match,
they can be a good couple -- if they can uncover their sometimes
difficult to find similarities. On the surface, these two couldn't be
more different: While Capricorn is quiet and unassuming, Libra tends to
be a social butterfly, delighting in visiting with other people.
Capricorn is concerned with hard work as a means toward career
advancement and recognition; Libra is concerned with beauty, art and
balance in life and relationships. This is not to say, however, that
there is no meeting point for these two; if they are coming from a base
of mutual love and respect, they can work to find their common ground.
When these two Signs work together on a project or a problem, it
works best if they have pre-set roles to fulfill, as they both like to
take charge. Once their expectations are defined, their approaches are
once again quite different: Libra is pondering and intellectual, but
Capricorn sees the value of doing things the hard way if it leads to
certain success. Once the partners understand each other's style,
their
methods help them to achieve together what they could not achieve
alone.
Libra is ruled by the Planet Venus (Love) and Capricorn is ruled
by Planet, while Saturn is cold, hard and masculine. These Planets
don't have much in common so it's important for Libra and Capricorn
to
work through their differences. Venus encourages Libra to slow down to
take in the beauty and romance life offers; this can come across as
laziness to Capricorn, whose Saturn influence lends them that dogged
determination to push forward against all odds and succeed at the goals
they set for themselves. These two Planets can work at cross-purposes,
creating antagonism, strife and repressed emotions unless Libra and
Capricorn make a concerted effort to understand and accept one
another's focus in life. Capricorn must take care not to discourage
Libra from their natural enthusiasm and optimism, and Libra must put
their natural diplomacy to use in order to maintain balance with
Capricorn.
Libra is an Air Sign and Capricorn is an Earth Sign.
Libra relies on their intellect in life; their sensibilities are
attuned
to aesthetics, a subject on which a true Libra always has lots of
opinions. Capricorns rely on brain power as well, but of a different
sort; they search for the pragmatic method in all they do, and may not
feel they have time to dabble in aesthetics. If these two can learn to
work as a team, they could form two sides of a coin, so to speak.
Libra and Capricorn are both Cardinal Signs. Both Signs are
initiators, but they have such widely varying work ethics that they
work
better when they each have a particular, well-defined role. When it
comes to conflict, Libra will be the first to back down, which will
appease Capricorn (who likes to be right!). It's important for both
partners to understand that compromise is they key to their success.
What's the best aspect of the Libra-Capricorn relationship?
They
each bring their own qualities to the relationship. Once they allow one
another to be themselves -- rather than getting in one another's way
--
they can blend well to make a whole. Theirs is a challenging
relationship, but they can learn from each other if they maintain the
effort.
