Leo and Capricorn Compatibility

Leo and Capricorn are completely opposite to each other and have different approaches towards life. Leo find Capricorn very quiet and inexpressive and Capricorn find Leo very impractical and dramatic. Still there are attractive things, Capricorn find Leo very bright and lively and Leo just love the sense of humor of Capricorn.

Capricorn are generally conformist thinkers who are highly ambitious and self-disciplined. They always prefer a safe game and tried and tested things. Capricorn’s determination is followed by outstanding patience. Though Capricorn may seem to be very inexpressive but they are very kind, gentle, and protective of their family and loved ones. Capricorn’s biggest assets are their money and their family. They admire their family circle, a good solid savings account and well educated people. They can be considered a snob about these things along with what class status they should be and the community they are in. Capricorn folks often appear cold but they long for admiration and acceptance from people just like everyone else. They can also be somewhat selfish. To defend themselves they call it self protection.

The proud Leo regard themselves to be above others and push to show this manner. To uphold such an image and be told the same by others increases their pride and add to their generous nature. Leo have royal taste in every aspect of life and they maintain their decorum with all their power. Leo cherish the spotlight and boast the successes they have made. Their audience should be one of admirers. This is only to appease them as they like the attention. Regardless of their extreme arrogance they are quite affectionate and enormously lavish. They proudly stand up and roar their arrogant roar as they look after the needy ones. They always defend the defenseless and shield the exploited. Leo are highly sentimental and a die-hard romantic people.

Leo and Capricorn are similar in that they are both highly intelligent, authoritative, practical and quite stubborn. Perhaps Capricorn possess these qualities a touch more than Leo but it doesn’t stop the curious nature each one has for the other. The Capricorn delightfully watches Leo as they sashay through their colorful and witty conversations wearing outfits that are just as colorful and witty. They are in awe at the seemingly impossible goals Leo tend to strive towards and their ability to delegate authority to reach these goals. Then there is the overwhelmingly kind and generous nature they possess as they frivolously spend money with no regard for financial stability. The bond between Leo and Capricorn gives way to the differences between them. Capricorn’s tolerant, frugal, timid, tender and carefully calculating attitude is quite different from Leo’s eagerness and their frivolous, well-expressed, dramatic, courageous and impetuous attitude.

Even though they may try to learn from one another, there is nothing like a good competition between the two. This makes them rivals either openly or secretly. They are both dually bright and very stubborn and neither of them budges from their own part of the world to which they built their empire, each one thinking theirs is better than the others. Capricorn may be influenced by Leo’s bright and sunny disposition, but they get easily irritated when the proud Leo tends to pat their own backs. Capricorn have a lot of the same qualities as Leo such as being authoritative, stubborn, intellectual but so much more so than Leo. However, they don’t flaunt it so much. They are less obtrusive about it. To understand what motivates the other is always magical and opens up their minds and souls to each other. As a result, the affection and compassion experienced between Leo and Capricorn increases unexpectedly, therefore making the bond between them much stronger.

Leo and Capricorn make good friends, siblings, relatives and official colleagues. They also are healthy competitors of each other as siblings, friends and colleagues. But usually their motives are pure with no harm to each other. Being relatives can make them either just formal known or people sharing some common good in some subject of interest. Business ventures can be run by these two together in a great way as Leo are good at creating goals and Capricorn are effective in achieving those goals. The only problem that comes is usually the Leo’s extravagant attitude or argument for authority. In a married relationship or in a love relationship they can face some differences especially because Capricorn are less expressive. But parenthood is one thing they both cherish as they both like to make their children perfect kids and as kids they just love and respect their parents.

The interpretation of each of their qualities is somewhat different in the other’s eyes. A Leo will often see a Capricorn as bitter, egotistical, callous and oppressive whereas the Capricorn sees the Leo as extravagant, hasty, narcissistic and futile. The two can learn and grow from watching each other. Capricorn can build a sturdy foundation that Leo can make use of as they are discovering a dependable friend or associate in the Capricorn. If they looked through Capricorn’s calming and sensible eyes at life they just may be able to see what they can gain. The ability to admit mistakes or being more patient with things are some of Capricorn’s finest virtues. Leo’s ability to set such high goals benefits Capricorn if they choose to discover this. Capricorn should witness life through Leo’s eyes. This way they gain knowledge of being more independent, warm, sociable and a bit more extravagant. The differences in each other, if seen and experienced, bring a sense of freshness and renewed attitude to this relationship.

    Leos are confident, passionate, and charismatic. They thrive on attention, enjoy being in the spotlight, and often exhibit strong leadership qualities. They are generous, warm-hearted, and have a flair for the dramatic.

    I am a Capricorn woman in a relationship with a Leo man. The description above was very accurate and has inspired me to join this site and comment! Reading other Capri-Leo love horror stories has given me pause but I feel very confident in my relationship with my Leo man.
     
    We are very loyal to each other. He gives me peace and sunshine and I give him intellectualism and practicality, somehow it works.
     
    Luckily, my Leo man does not get overly angry and we are able to talk our way through any disagreements. However, I think this is because we both make a point never to insult or degrade one another. If we can’t come to an agreement, we move forward. But usually, one of us bends and a couple of days later we’ll laugh at our past frustration.
     
    As a Capricorn and an avid zodiac researcher, I know my weaknesses. It is difficult for me to share my emotions openly. My last boyfriend described me as “cold-hearted.” After getting such a bad review from my ex, I make a consorted effort to be more emotional toward my Leo man ‘cuz I know he needs it to feel secure.  I give my Leo man physical attention and write him “lovey-dovey” text messages from time to time. I always kiss him goodbye and hug hello if we haven’t seen each other for a few days. Also, if I’m going through something difficult I ask him for a hug so he knows his physical comfort is more than sexual. Leo Men, is this enough? Feedback is much appreciated…

    The Cap that I had a short dealing with was vain as heck, dressed up even more than me (I wasn’t sure how comfortable I was with it in the end) and flashy yet very stingy.
    He approached me, and very quickly tried to make me his girlfriend with persistence and vigour, which of course flattered me. But I wasn’t so sure and felt that there were several things off. I needed to feel safe and secure with him. I couldn’t quite place him, I needed more time to suss him out!
    He didn’t get that. Rather he was playing games: Talking my ear off with promises and declarations but would disappear for a while every time he felt things weren’t going his way. Would claim that that’s his “thing” – taking a girl out and showing her a good time and that I should give him the space to do it properly. Yet when I did back off he would go mia, again and again. Very infuriating.
    He also basically pressured me to put out in the third date, “I lose interest very quickly in girls that hold out on me” so basically giving me an ultimatum. And the walk over that I am I let him manipulate me. Because I can’t help but want to please the other person, all to the detriment of my own.
    This cap was arrogant, flashy with money and a show off. He had no problem bragging on all the things that he spend he’s money on, his high paying job and his luxuries but would insist on keeping it low key or splitting the bill. More often than not it would be he’s – very untidy – place. Way to make a girl feel special.
    So the Leo that I am, it was a major turn off to feel like I’m less than important to make the effort for and be stingy. Urgh!!! BIG NO NO for Leos!!!!
    Secretly judgmental, snobby, cynical and arrogant. All negative qualities I could not get over, as he fundamentally wasn’t a good person with a kind heart. I became more guarded and standoffish. Wasn’t quite comfortable.
    According to some of the posts here, I can only assume I fell onto a very childish and narcissistic person. And might not all be the fault of the Capricorn sign.
     
    What he didn’t get about me is that I am unequivocally a Leo and I need attention and constant adoration. Deep down I want to feel taken care of. Lavished with love and gifts. It might be considered shallow but actually it’s because we truly want to love so deeply back. We have so much more to give in return but our ego is too fragile to allow us to give all of us straight away. So if he only opened me up with humour and affection and NOT be stingy and cynical, he would have got 10x the adoration from me.
    In the end the only thing that kept me going was the sex!!!!! The sex was MAZING!!! INTETENSE! And surprisingly passionate!!! Gentle yet masculine and rough! He blew me out the water. But it didn’t last long.
    I saw a glimpse of gentility an compassion but it soon disappeared. I did not stick around for mere crumbs. 
    Anyhow this match did NOT work and I don’t think I’d like to try again with another Capricorn.

    I am a capricorn male(25), im close to being in a possibale relationship with a Leo female 23. Its only been 5 weeks and i know both of our faults to the others eyes. Yet i always crave affection, she shows it completely differently. It’s not daily and it’s even less on a physical level. As i love showing affection and love giving it physically, hugs, kisses, rubs, holding each other. She would rather show it almost all at once when we have time. How can a Capricorn like myself get through this? I literally can’t have a relationship like this. I would like to make this work but i fear that it might be on a ending course from the get go. 
    Please someone help…

    Im a Leo woman and I like to be entertained just how i like to entertain others. Im talking to a Capricorn man, so far he can make me laugh and smile but hes really quiet and i feel as though i bore him when i talk to much and at the same time it annoys me because he doesnt give me a real conversation. We`re both attracted to another and hes straightfoward and he calms my ego. But is there more to this Capricorn other than he feeds my ego and attraction and lets me control, but now im bored. :/

    i am really happy with my capricorn man…. and i want him for the rest of my life… i am so thankful to God for sending him on me,…

    I am a leo woman and I must say this horoscope is really very accurate in description. I love attention and get too much of it. I learned that it is hard to be in a relationship because there are always some downfalls. I go out with Capricorn man and all issues we have are mentioned above. He does make me laugh, I love his company but I don’t feel like I get enough attention. He says he cares but I don’t feel it a lot of times. I know he would never cheat on me but he is very careful with showing affection. He never said ‘I love you’ in the way so I would actually feel he means it. Sometimes I think maybe I am too demanding but I really need it and I think I deserve it after all crappy relationships with narcistic Geminine in the past. I don’t know if to carry on or end this relationship. Decisions decisions. I wish life was simple but it never is….

    I am a Leo woman who is in the beginning stages of falling in love with a Cap man, & all I can say is “thank you, Jesus, for sending him to me!”. It may be early but for the first time in a very long time — possibly EVER — I have a very good feeling with this one. The first thing that attracted me was his sense of humor, which is huge in my book. I’m a huge goofball myself, so when he & I are together we make each other laugh til we pee. He pursued me in the beginning & it took me a while to warm up to him, but now that he has broken down my walls & we are on an intimate & emotional level he is turning out to be everything I’ve wanted/needed. Before him I mainly dated younger men so I was used to being the one in control….but now I’m in my 40’s & I’ve found myself with the desire to relinquish some (but not all, of course) of that control to a REAL man. And my Cap man fits the bill. Plus he is excellent at making me feel like I am the only woman on Earth. And contrary to popular belief, not ALL Leos need to be showered with lavish gifts. I can buy my own “stuff”….i have, after all, been providing for myself most of my life. What matters most to me is the complete love & affection & loyalty this man has been giving me every day. Not to mention, the lovemaking is phenomenal! And it’s exactly that — making LOVE…tender, passionate, consuming LOVE straight from the heart, not just the loins — not just sex. Another thing I love about this guy is how he recognizes that my daughter is my life & he does everything possible to not just win her over, but is starting to take on a fatherly role with her as well. This is exactly what she needs, a positive male influence in her life, as her father is basically unavailable & her other male family members (grandfathers, uncles) are thousands of miles away. I think I definitely have a keeper with this one. I realize it’s very new & we are in the “honeymoon” stage, but even if things start going sour, I think this relationship would be worth doing everything possible to save it. But for now it comes very easily & naturally for us. 🙂

    M a capricon man inlove with leo. I learned to trust her. The problem is we are both stubbon. If we disagree with somethn i always give-in and that makes me fill less of man. Its like she is incontrol. One forsure is that we are madly inlove.

  16. Tierra March 8th, 2011

    I am a leo woman and I am in love with my capricorn man, but it is so difficult to get him to express himself more. This definately sums us up to the T. I get so frustrated with him because I am enthusiastic and free spirited, but he is reserved and serious.

  17. Ariana October 7th, 2010

    Im a capricorn woman w/ a leo man & all along every time i think about him one of the first things that come to mind is how proud, arrogant & full of himself he is! Lol but i do admire his desire to strive in life, he’s very successful at any business. its true us Capricorns have high career goals & want to make lots of money but at least for me my motivation is family, I wanna provide for them & help out with anything they need.
