Capricorn in Love
(December 22 - January 19)

 

Persistent Capricorn approaches love as serious business. As the zodiac's most goal-oriented sign, you're not one to play around. Chances are, you've got a 10-year plan for your life, and your partner must forward that agenda. Flings aren't really your bag; you'd rather be alone than jump from partner to partner. With this attitude, it's no wonder many Capricorns marry more than once. You're so eager to settle down and start a family that you may not screen your spouse thoroughly.

As the sign of public image, Capricorns are status-conscious. Whatever you value -- college degrees, money, or good looks -- your partner must possess it in spades. You're also huge on family, and you're deeply loyal to your own. You often act as the "rock" that your family leans on, and you dutifully play this role. If your mate doesn't mesh with your family, all bets are off!

Workaholic Caps are determined about professional goals, too. Your sign rules the zodiac's tenth house of career, and you've got CEO written all over you. Although you find work fulfilling, don't let your long office hours eclipse your personal life. Strive for balance. You may be on the early retirement track, but at what cost to your relationship? If you don't give your relationships care and feeding along the way, you could be sailing off on your yacht at age 45 with divorce papers in your hand. In other words, Capricorn, try approaching your love life with the same dedication that you put into your job, and you could have a fairy tale romance that lasts a lifetime.

The loyalty of Capricorns is not to be underestimated, no matter how flirty you appear on the surface. Capricorns rule history and value things that last over time. The person you've known longest is often who you marry-- regardless of compatibility. You assume that anyone who keeps coming back around, or attracting you back to him, must really love you or he would have moved on. It's a funny way to measure love, but nobody can tell you otherwise!

As an earth sign, Capricorns have a lusty appetite, and are known to stray on occasion. Oddly, you don't consider a meaningless hookup cheating. If you haven't given away your heart or material assets, it doesn't count in your book. Of course, your partners may not agree -- and thus come the memorable explosions.

Ruled by Saturn, the planet of repression, many Caps have a wild streak underneath that serious, traditional facade. Only a chosen few (if anyone) will experience your out-there fantasies. It could take a very open-minded person to understand!

Caution: a Capricorn deprived of a stable family could spend her whole life stuck in resentment or regret, never allowing love into her life. Behind this is a deep reservoir of self-doubt, which all Capricorns must struggle against. Caps who experienced early family traumas should find an understanding therapist, and work persistently through your issues. As with everything you do, determination is your secret weapon. You're used to fighting for what you want, so why not aim for a wonderful, loving relationship? You deserve it!
