Leo and Capricorn compatibility
The king and the one who actually runs the kingdom.
Leo: July 23 – August 22. Capricorn: December 22 – January 19.
Are Leo and Capricorn a good match?
Tradition calls it an awkward match rather than a bad one. What it runs on is fascination, and it lasts when curiosity outlives the confusion.
I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.
What draws you together
You share more than you would guess. Both of you care about standing and legacy, and you both take your commitments seriously. Leo warms Capricorn's serious life, and Capricorn gives Leo's big ideas some foundation.
The hard part
Leo wants a celebration, and Capricorn has checked the budget. Leo may feel unappreciated, and Capricorn may feel like the only adult. Status can quietly come between you.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit five signs apart, a one-hundred-fifty-degree angle astrologers call a quincunx. You share no element and no way of moving, and you cannot see each other straight across the wheel either. Each of you keeps adjusting to a person you do not quite have the language for.
Fire and earth want different things from a day. Fire wants to go and earth wants to have arrived. Fire can warm the ground or scorch it, and earth can hold a flame or smother it.
One of you starts things and the other keeps them. That is a working partnership, as long as neither mistakes it for a contest of wills.
What each of you is really asking
Leo is asking: Do you see me, truly, when the room is empty? Leo brings warmth and fears being ordinary in the eyes of the one who matters.
Capricorn is asking: Is it all right to set the weight down with you? Capricorn brings staying power and fears being a fool for trusting.
The desire under the question
Leo wants to be seen. Capricorn wants to be respected. Each of you can give what the other needs, as soon as you admit you need it.
