Capricorns are loyal, long-term types who take relationships seriously.
As the sign of the mountain goat, you see life as a rocky uphill climb, and take
your sweet time before making a long-term commitment. Years often pass
between your relationships. You'd rather be alone than settle for someone
who doesn't meet your lengthy checklist of requirements.
Earthy Capricorns can be pessimists (you call it "reality"), and your view on relationships sours easily after a bad breakup. As a sign that values history, you get stuck in the "nostalgia trap," pining for a long-gone ex. Push yourself to take risks rather than dwelling in sentimentality or going for the familiar. Don't be afraid to try something new. A little spontaneity can go a long way in your healing process.
Let go of your 10-year plan.
Capricorns rule structure and goals. The moment you commit to someone, you
start planning your future and setting elaborate goals for your life a decade
out. As a result, breakups can be an emotional AND a material loss for you.
Many Capricorns stubbornly refuse to accept a breakup simply because you don't
want to let go of your agenda. But rather than shoehorn the wrong person into
your strategic plan, hold onto your vision but find a better person to share
it.
Don't bury yourself in work.
While it's good to focus on your career, Capricorns all too easily become workaholics
to escape their painful feelngs. Don't use your job (or family duties) to
avoid intimacy. Let yourself have fun. Caps are actually capable of having
flings without getting attached. Let yourself get out, party and have a no-strings
attached good time. It will mend your heart for your next big relationship.
Lean on family and longtime friends.
Loyal Caps put family and their childhood friends
in first place, and these are often the only people to know the real you.
Although you are usually their rock, let them
be there for you. Capricorn is the "father sign," so your dad or
a male mentor
is a great source of support. That said, don't just spend time with your family
and friends -- get out there! Or, ask your network to hook you up with someone
new.
