"Astrological Counterparts"

CAPRICORN AND ARIES

They'll get along as lovers, but even in bed there'll be arguments about money, friends, socializing, and who's boss. A major difference is that Capricorn won't make a move unless sure of winning, whereas Aries is completely headstrong and impulsive. Arguments never fade away, for both are strong-willed, aggressive, and need to dominate. Jealousy also raises its head as Aries's lively passions stray toward more fun-loving company. Temperamentally and emotionally, this mating is better suited to an arena than to hearth and home.

CAPRICORN AND TAURUS

Taurus admires Capricorn's strength of purpose, and Capricorn is delighted with Taurus's affectionate stability. Taurus can get through to aloof, cautious Capricorn and give the encouragement and responsiveness needed, Both have earthy, passionate natures, and sensual Taurus can tap the deep well of romanticism that lies under Capricorn's reserve. Capricorn is loyal and Taurus is devoted, so jealousy is not a problem between these two. In addition, both value money, security, and are home-lovers. One union-strong and indivisible.

CAPRICORN AND GEMINI

Capricorn will have a hard time holding the reins on excitable, flirtatious, wayward Gemini. All of Capricorn's patience is needed to deal with a partner it considers to be capricious, extravagant, and scatter brained. Capricorn prizes order and control, and approaches life in a practical, determined manner. Gemini is disorganized, high-strung, and erratic. Also, Gemini's verbal quickness has a way of making Capricorn secretly feel inadequate. Neither is particularly sentimental, so whatever flamelets ignite at the beginning will quickly cool.

CAPRICORN AND CANCER

These two are sexually attracted to each other, but need all the harmony they find in the bedroom to offset the discordance they create everywhere else. Sensitive Cancer will resent Capricorn's domineering manner. Capricorn isn't willing to put up with Cancer's endless emotional demands. Cancer's need for warmth will be frustrated by Capricorn's aloof coolness. Both fear rejection, but Cancer's tendency is to withdraw and Capricorn's is to become tyrannical. These two are zodiac opposites with all that implies-

CAPRICORN AND LEO

Ordered, organized Capricorn neither understands nor approves of Leo's exuberant impulsiveness. Capricorn cannot stand Leo's habit of leaping first and looking afterward. Extroverted Leo will be impatient with Capricorn's secretive tendencies. Capricorn is too reserved to give Leo the adoration it needs, and proud Leo will not give in to Capricorn's domineering ways. Spend thrift Leo adores luxury while Capricorn puts financial security above all. Also, they both want to rule in the bedroom. This unpromising couple will find their way to a quick ending.

CAPRICORN AND VIRGO

Virgo's neat orderly mind meshes well with Capricorn's self-discipline and capacity for hard work. Both take pride in their home, enjoy having a few close friends rather than many acquaintances, and admire each other's intellectual abilities. There's no reason this duo shouldn't click except in the bedroom where virgo's reticence needs a stronger push than reserved Capricorn likes to give. Neither finds it easy to be spontaneously affectionate. However, this is the only minus entry on a balance sheet full of plusses.

CAPRICORN AND LIBRA

Capricorn is intrigued by magnetic Libra, and Libra is charmed by Capricorn's slowly revealed passions. But over the long term Libra needs more excitement, romance, and beauty than Capricorn can provide. Capricorn is not oriented toward social and artistic pursuits, which are Libra's favorite activities. Capricorn prizes discipline and responsibility, and finds Libra altogether too frivolous, vain, and self-centered. Libra turns restive and starts to look elsewhere. Throw in some Capricorn jealousy to keep the cauldron bubbling. A recipe for disaster.

CAPRICORN AND SCORPIO

Scorpio's powerful sensuality kindles Capricorn's slumbering passions. Scorpio is the more imaginative lover, but Capricorn's stamina is a delightful match. Scorpio's possessiveness spells security to Capricorn. These two work well as a team-Capricorn is highly organized and Scorpio has native shrewdness. Both prize discipline and accomplishment. Each is strong willed and sometimes Scorpio's renowned temper comes up against Capricorn's stubbornness. Their battles will be royal, but so will their makings-up.

CAPRICORN AND SAGITTARIUS

Capricorn is cheered by optimistic Sagittarius, and Sagittarius is intrigued by Capricorn's depth and self-containment. All too soon, though, Capricorn becomes annoyed by Sagittarius's fickle attitude and total need for freedom without strings. Capricorn senses that it cannot count on Sagittarius's loyalty through thick and thin, and is frustrated by Sagittarius's nonchalance in love. Also, Sagittarius is impetuous and has free-and-easy spending habits while Capricorn is serious-minded and a stay-at home. The ties that bind are soon cut.

CAPRICORN AND CAPRICORN

Capricorns approve of people like themselves, so with these two there's no lack of mutual respect and regard. Both are cautious, reserved personalities who work hard and love to save money. But even compatibility can sometimes be dull. They're well matched sexually, but in other areas they encourage each other's tendencies to be gloomy and pessimistic. Neither one can relax or let down its hair. As partners they're okay, but not too much fun. Love travels an almost imperceptibly downhill road.

CAPRICORN AND AQUARIUS

Capricorn finds Aquarius too unpredictable, and Aquarius's impersonal attitude makes Capricorn uneasy. Capricorn's conventional approach quickly irritates adventurous Aquarius. Aquarius believes in self-expression; Capricorn believes in self-discipline. Aquarius is somewhat of a rover, while Capricorn prefers home and hearth. Freedom-loving Aquarius won't stay bound for long to earnest, staid Capricorn. However, they should like each other and love can turn into friendship.

CAPRICORN AND PISCES

Capricorn provides a ballast for Pisces's drifting dreaminess and supplies the stability that Pisces needs and admires. And there's nothing Capricorn likes better than being admired. Capricorn is the boudoir captain, but Pisces is a willing crew. Pisces's taste for the bizarre may even influence Capricorn's conventional passions. Pisces's generous affections and Capricorn's strong sense of loyalty combine to make each feel safe and protected. These very different people meet each other's needs.
