Libra- Love Match- Libra and Capricorn

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.
