Personality Traits of Capricorn
Capricorn is represented by the goat, a sure-footed animal that climbs steep mountains. Like a goat, Capricorns are known for being persistent, capable and determined. They are an earth sign as well which might explain why they also tend to be very pragmatic. Their no-nonsense and resolute approach means they are often successful at whatever task they decide to undertake. If something needs to get done, a Capricorn can turn just about any plan into a reality. In fact, their ability to successfully complete difficult tasks without complaint is unrivaled by any other sign. Taken to an extreme, however, they can also sometimes be workaholics.

Fortunately, most Capricorns have few problems keeping their personal and professional lives in balance. They are known for being witty and having a great, but dry, sense of humor. Although success is very important to Capricorns on a personal level, they are not the types to be boastful or ostentatious. Nevertheless, they are often well respected for their success and do like to be recognized by others for their achievements.

When it comes to social situations, Capricorns tend to keep to themselves and will rarely get involved in the affairs of others unless there is good reason to do so. They also prefer to be with a group of close friends rather than mixing about in larger social circles. However, this does not mean that Capricorns are withdrawn or inhibited. They simply place a high value on personal privacy. In positions of leadership they are very adept at motivating and organizing large groups of people. What makes them so effective is that they truly know how to lead by example.

Capricorns are also very family oriented and can be very protective of friends and loved ones. They are known for being prudent and trustworthy. People have a lot of respect for them by and large and will often seek them out for advice or help when confronted with a problem.

Best Capricorn Love Matches: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn

Capricorn and Taurus Love Compatibility
Capricorn and Taurus are earth signs which might explain why they take affairs of the heart so seriously. To them, a relationship is a no-nonsense affair where both partners are expected to work diligently if it is to be successful over the long run. When it comes to dating, these two prefer a pragmatic approach. They both find the drama and head-games that are so common in many other relationships to be big turn-offs. Likewise, while money and success are important to them, neither is the type to be ostentatious or squander it frivolously.

While it may be true that a Capricorn has tendency to be more success driven than a Taurus, this difference actually works to their advantage. This is because the one thing in life a Taurus truly desires from their mate more than anything is stability, something a Capricorn is very capable of providing. Capricorn, on the other hand, will find inspiration from the dedicated and warmhearted support a Taurus offers in return. Taurus also tends to be more sociable. This can be good for Capricorn who has a tendency to be a little too reserved around strangers.

When it comes to decision making, a Capricorn will usually seize the reins. This is fine for Taurus who is more than happy to go with the flow as long as there are no major objections.

The relationship's can, however, become vulnerable is if it starts to be taken for granted. This can happen when one or both partners becomes so wrapped up in pursuing a personal objective that the relationship becomes a secondary priority. To be successful, both partners must always remember to make time for each other.

Capricorn and Virgo Love Compatibility
When it comes to relationships, Capricorns and Virgos desire many of the same things from a mate. Both are earth signs which means they tend to place a high value on level-headedness and stability. This is not the type of a couple that is likely to elope or engage in a quick fling. While other couples may be out hob-knobbing, a Capricorn and Virgo usually prefer to stay in each other's company and discuss personal matters. It is planning for how they will build a future life together that really turns a Capricorn and a Virgo on. These two are all about setting goals and working together to make them become a reality.

However, while these two are much alike, there are also some pretty major differences. A Capricorn is more likely to plan ahead and chart a long-term course to meet their objectives. They prefer a slow, but steady approach. Virgos, on the other hand, tend to be much more about action. Once a Virgo sets their eye on a goal, they typically want to get started on it immediately with passion and enthusiasm. When Capricorn assumes the lead, Virgo makes a great wingman and cheerleader. As a team, they can be unstoppable.

Virgo, however, can be especially sensitive to criticism especially when it comes from someone they love and respect. An overbearing Capricorn can do a lot of psychological damage to a Virgo's self-esteem even though they may only have the best of intentions. For the relationship to be successful, a Capricorn must learn to be conscious and supportive of their Virgo partner's feelings. Sometimes the best remedy is to find ways to avoid life's many little stresses altogether. Simply going out as a couple and doing a fun activity together can often work wonders.

Capricorn and Capricorn Love Compatibility
Two Capricorns can make a near make match as both are driven and utilize their mind instead of the heart to make decisions so they should understand each other almost perfectly. As a couple, they tend to be highly supportive of one and other. When they align themselves behind a common objective, there is almost nothing they can't accomplish.

Such an alliance of two so liked minded people does have some disadvantages however. For one, Capricorns tend to be very reserved socially. If neither partner is willing to put themselves "out there" as a couple, they stand the possibility of isolating themselves from others. Both are serious and mature, so if they don't make a conscious effort to introduce some sort of fun and excitement into their lives on a regular basis, they can find their relationship can become somewhat monotonous.
