Can someone please tell me more about Capricorn men? Are they confused and flighty? Are they just charmers and when they get what they want, they move on? Or, are they so cautious that it is hard for them to believe that someone could love them? I am a Virgo.....thanks.IP: Logged |

I can only speak for myself, but as a Cap male I certainly fall into the latter category; it's always hard for me to imagine someone is interested in me. I'm almost invariably convinced, whomever the object of my affection might be, that there's no way she's even aware I'm alive.No matter how many times I've been surprised by the facts -- and I have -- I still revert to that old feeling. I think it's partially a defense mechanism, honestly. IP: Logged |

I'm a:Capricorn Sun Virgo Moon Gemini Ascendant Confused and flighty? Yeah, unfortunately Just a charmer who moves on when I've gotten what I want? No, but I will move on if I get bored or the other person gets bored (also unfortunate). Hard to believe someone could love me? Absolutely... on some levels With the last one, I know that I possess a certain attractiveness that I have no control over. There are moments where I know I appear extremely attractive, but those moments are just moments, and if you wait around I'll eventually turn ugly for some moments too. Personally, I'm artistic and moody and fairly individualistic. I'm am not a person who is always, 'on.' I need space as much as I need the comfort of other people. Knowing that I'm not always 'on' or attractive makes me feel like I may be unlovable, which may be completely unfounded, but that's just the way it is. Capricorns feed off of appreciation, and we don't always get it, so we feel inadequate. IP: Logged |

I think each sign combination may have it's own kind of love associated with it. The girls/women I've felt the most intense love for have been Cancers, but there's a problem in that it's all romance and no friendship.I think between a Cap and a Virgo it's going to be a slow start. I think both signs have a bit of reserve and caution, and it's not the easiest to get over that. Neither are likely to open up very fast I don't think. If you're both comfortable sexually, and one of you is brave enough to initiate then you may move the process along a bit as intimacy seems to break through at least a Capricorn's shell. It's a little tough for me to imagine how a Virgo/Cap relationship plays out. I think Virgo and Taurus are a better pair. Me, as a Cap, I get very touchy feely when I'm enjoying my time (in love) with a woman unless there are signals from the woman that she doesn't feel comfortable being openly affectionate. I like witty conversations. I like to make romantic gestures whether it's buying flowers or planning getaways. I like to stay in rather than go out. I won't like drinking as much as you (or Virgos that I know), but I do enjoy getting a drink occasionally. You'd be the more talkative one in public settings. IP: Logged |

I am a Scorp Sun.Just my take on Caps. Are they confused and flighty? They are confused not flighty. They are confused because they create many options for themselves or always hoping that they could get better. That doesn't mean they are disloyal. This is only till they really commit you.No wonder people call them opportunists. Are they just charmers and when they get what they want, they move on? They don't move on when they get what they want. They move on when they get something better. Remember they are ambitious and wouldn't settle for less. I think even in love.If they are still juggling with their options stay there they would come back and that time would probably like to get married to you or get a committment. They are also sometime afriad of responsibility called marriage.If they are really into you and there is really an emotional connection then it would be difficult for them to be away from you. They would remember you and would be telling his friends about it. He would spend most of his time working and you might feel he isn't paying attention to you but be around.Don't give up... Let him take the lead just be supportive.That's the way it would be as you are Mutable sign and he is Cardinal. He would expect you to be there. Or, are they so cautious that it is hard for them to believe that someone could love them? Yes.They are insecure. In love...I think AG has said the needful.  IP: Logged |

Hi everyone! I am also having a problem with a certain Capricorn man. The problem I'm experiencing is whether or not to heed what he says. He's a very blunt and straightforward person, who normally means exactly what he says. The problem is, is that sometimes he does things that I don't like(such as in the way he treats me)and when I bring it to his attention he always says that's just the way he is and he's not changing. O.k I normally wouldn't have a problem with someone being honest; normally, I would just think to myself whether or not I still wanted to deal with that person. The confusing part is, is that he'll change the very thing I asked him to(or at least make a very good attempt). This is so confusing because I don't know when to take him serious and when not to and I don't know why he does that. Why must he say that he's not going to even try to change, but then does? I don't get it. I guess what I'm really asking is whether or not actions really do speak louder than words. He's the first Cap I've ever dated so I'm all the more confused. Is this something that they just do? My Cap is also very scared of committment, could this play a factor? If anyone could offer some insight I would be very happy and if anyone needs me explain more clearly I will. Thanx!IP: Logged |

My Cap came on really strong at first and said he was in love with me and wanted to marry me! And this is in the first month of knowing me! He too is very blunt and does not pull any punches....he is also very jealous, but protective......I am the one trying to slow HIM down.....lolIP: Logged |

Water Girl, with any man I would listen to what he says since he needs that to be respected, but there is no reason not to watch what he does. If you like it praise him for it. He may be too proud to admit he does this and so changes what he does gradually. If it embarasses him ignore it. The bottom line is whether or not you want to date him, and only you can say.Caps do like direction even if they do not say so. Chances are he is listening and trying to change slowly. Give it some time and watch what he does. I have only dated two Caps but both were serious to me. Both liked clear physical signals from me that they were liked. As in hand holding, not pulling away, trusting, staying at his house for drinks, dinner, cooking, not going out. Showing concern, and care over career. Its' confusing because a Cap will say nothing but reach for you? I learned giving is hard for me in this way so I check to see the overall indicators for a good relationship first, and then give the green light. I have also found the juggling thing going on, but I do that too. Natasha Taurus/6th IP: Logged |

Water Girl,I think some people (like Capricorns) may be a bit defensive when asked to change. They may feel as though they are being attacked. Often that's the immediate initial reaction. Upon reflection, though, maybe your Capricorn realizes that it won't kill him to give a little. So, how I would read it is that his own personal integrity and principles are very important to him. He wants to live life on his own terms. Once he realizes that your terms don't threaten his, then he can adopt them to some degree. IP: Logged |

AG, I think you're right. My Cap hates for someone to tell him what to do and he hates being wrong. Sthenri, when he changes or makes an attempt to change what I've asked him to, I always thank him for it. He's actually a sweet person, it's just sometimes he does things that he doesn't realize are a little offensive. That's mainly because all of his female friends before me have catered to him and never really asked anything of him. The dilemma I'm having is how to tell when he's absolutely serious about something. For example, if he were to tell me that he's never getting married or something like that I really wouldn't know what to do. Do I still stick around expecting him to one day propose or do I end the relationship and find someone that does want to eventually get married? (That's an extreme example, but it's the only thing I could think of right now)IP: Logged |

Cappy's I've known are quick to fall into a steady and serious relationship and VERRRRYYY clingy, especially in public. Also, jealous and possessive to the point of being ridiculous.They also love to keep you on the phone while arguing the same point over and over without any resolution in a stubborn manner possibly to have a certain amount of control of you when they know they've crossed a line. They can't leave an argument unresolved, even as they are the ones causing arguments in the first place. Also, I've noticed they like to keep tabs on every movement you've made since you've been out of their presence. And they flip out if you threaten separation, cause a big fight and then try to make up -- which invariably leads to the best make-up sex ever, thus causing the cycle to continue. They are good in bed. Let's just say...DETERMINED is their style. So, if they have a goal to accomplish (ie. making up and getting you back) they will give a hundred percent and take out the pent up anger on you, as well. Haha! I love Cappy's.  IP: Logged |

Zoso, does that mean that he would be very needy in some respects? Like needing verbal affirmations of love and physical ones too? And he becomes sulky if he does not get them from his love?IP: Logged |

Regardless of Sun sign, a lot of young men (pre-Saturn Return) are charmers, flighty, hesitate at the thought of taking on additional responsibilities and/or just don't know how to fully think out situations before taking them on. Serious consequences from poor judgement skills are common too.IP: Logged |

Yes us Cappies need reassurances of your feelings for us. We are tough on the outside, very controlled in our emotional expression, and don't talk about feelings easily. BUT once you get close to us and we feel we can trust you, we'll open up more and feel more secure. We need time (and patience) to get to know you, and see how real you are. It takes a lot to earn our trust. I too tend to never really believe it when someone truly likes or loves me. I know I'm a great catch but I'm so reserved and don't show my full personality so if someone who doesn't know me well say they like me, I won't believe them. I know I don't like being told what to do nor will I change for anyone else. I do have a bad habit of not using the phone, I never used to call my ex-boyfriend. My current Scorpio date told me to call him more, so I try but its so hard because I hate the phone and I also get discouraged if I can't reach him. So change is hard, but if we at least try, then that's a good sign. ------------------ Cap sun, Cancer moon (1st), Gemini rising, stellium in Sag (7th house). IP: Logged |

I have dated a few Cappy guys and well whatI realized is that you have to give them time to let their guard down with you. Two of the cappys that I dated our relationship last 3 years and friendship is still there. You have to be patient with the cappy guys. IP: Logged |

Zoso,Hey! Yes, we keep you on the phone arguing the same point, because we feel like we're right and you're obviously not hearing or understanding us. It's the curse of being the most practical sign of the zodiac. We get into arguments because we think a person ought to correct their thinking, but people are pretty stubborn about their thoughts even when they're wrong. "Crossed a line" Maybe you had a messed up (or immature) Capricorn or something. Generally, we'll only cross a line in an argument if the other person is being completely unreasonable (i.e. crossing a line of their own). We then match whatever's thrown at us. If you match our logic or speak as sensibly as possible you won't have explosive arguments with a Capricorn. Ask a Taurus. I wonder what sign you are to inspire this kind of reaction from a Capricorn. Keeping tabs on your every movement doesn't really sound like us either, unless you've given us reason to be paranoid. We will work on keeping a relationship. That's for certain. I totally agree with you there. I'm guessing that perhaps you inspire these actions in Capricorns in the manner you've just gotten me to respond. You say and indicate ways in which you love Cappys, but you do it while trying to take us down a peg or two. I don't think you really trust us. IP: Logged |

Thunderspirit-- yes I agree, necessary evil. AcousticGod - as I was reading your last post, I couldn't stop nodding. Its so true, I find it hard to give advice to people that aren't as practical in their thinking. I end up repeating myself over and over hoping that they'd understand my points. I end up doing that with my Pisces friends alot but I end up giving up when I realize they rather be illogical and unrealistic. " We then match whatever's thrown at us. If you match our logic or speak as sensibly as possible you won't have explosive arguments with a Capricorn. Ask a Taurus." SO TRUE! Come to think of it, I have the best arguements with my Taurean friends. Oh, Starruby said she's a Virgo. Keeping tabs on your every movement doesn't really sound like us either, unless you've given us reason to be paranoid. I'd only do that if I don't trust the person. Once I trust you and know your usual routine, those "where are you" questions stop. What is the moon & rising signs of your Cappie? You can get that info from www.astro.com or post his birth-date and we'll help.

The first Cappy had a moon in Pisces, the other a moon in Gemini. Man, Acoustic! I'm a Sag with Taurus moon. Fiery and stubborn!! Didn't mean to get you all riled up, refer to this post: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/008118.html I really do love Cappy's!! They have a great sense of humor. IP: Logged |

It's cool. Your post was mostly negative. That's why you got the reaction you got.You said that we're very clingy, jealous, possessive, unnecessarily argumentative, don't respect boundaries, we're instigators, control freaks, and take out our anger on people. For good things you only said we're good in bed, and persistent. Make sense? Sag and Cap do generally get along, or at least I do with most Sags (I have a Sag stellium). You guys used to be a bit aloof for me, but thanks to Future_Uncertain, Lialei, and BlueRoamer I'm starting to be able to see your real depth. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if I end up with a Sag in the end with all my fire and air. IP: Logged |

Acoustic- the guy with moon in Gemini is actually my roommates bf (I don't know how he is in bed) and observations are from her as well. She's a Virgo. These aren't guys that I'm necessarily involved with, so the observations can't be from a reaction to ME. Just so you know. My ex, the Cappy had the least amount of traits that I mentioned, except for that bedroom part  I didn't mean to offend you, I was trying to get a point across in a regular Sagittarian fashion of insult, which was: Cappy's like steady and serious relationships where they are clear about how you feel for them and are sure that you want to build the same kind of enduring relationship that are are willing to. They don't want to feel like their efforts are going to be wasted, because they put their sweat and blood into it.
