When Libra and Capricorn come together in love, they can be a good couple - if they can discover that sometimes it's hard 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 other people. Capricorn is concerned with hard work as a means to career advancement and recognition, Libra is concerned with beauty, art and balance in life and relationships. This doesn't mean, 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 common ground.

When these two Signs work together on a project or a problem, it works best if they have predefined roles to fulfill, as they both like to take charge. Once their expectations are set, their approaches are once again quite different: Libra is thinking 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 achieve together what they couldn't achieve alone.

Libra is ruled by the planet Venus (Love) and Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, which is cold, hard and masculine. These planets don't have much in common, so it's important for Libra and Capricorn to work on their differences. Venus encourages Libra to slow down in order to take advantage of life's offerings of beauty and romance; this can seem lazy to Capricorn, whose influence on Saturn gives them the dogged determination to push forward against all odds and succeed in the goals they have set for themselves. These two planets can work towards opposite goals, creating antagonism, conflicts and repressed emotions, unless Libra and Capricorn make a joint effort to understand and accept each other's focus in life. Capricorn must be careful not to discourage Libra from its natural enthusiasm and optimism.

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 Libran always has many opinions. Capricorns also rely on brain power, but of a different kind, they seek the pragmatic method in everything they do and may not feel they have time to take an interest in aesthetics. If these two can learn to work as a team, they can form two sides of a coin, so to speak.

Libra and Capricorn are both cardinal signs. Both signs are initiators, but they have such a varied work ethic that they work best when each has 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 that both partners understand that compromise is fundamental to their success

What is the best aspect of the Libra-Capricorn relationship? Each brings their own qualities to the relationship. Once they allow each other to be themselves - rather than getting in each other's way - they can blend well to form a whole. Their relationship is challenging, but if they make the effort, they can learn from each other.
