He's a hardworker, reliable, self-controlled, responsible. You know, all that jazz. Here, this explains it best:

Mars in Capricorn

With fiery Mars in the more orderly sign of Capricorn, natives with this position have a subdued and controlled style of approaching life. Most don't come across as particularly enthusiastic; rather, theirs is a low-key but determined energy.
Mars in Capricorn natives like to be on top of things. They are generally goal-oriented and focused people who are not afraid of hard work. Most are achievers by nature, and many possess well-defined ambitions--well-defined to themselves more than anything. They're not particularly flashy people, but their drive to succeed and to make their lives secure is strong, even if it's not right out there for the world to see.

Anger is expressed in a rather cool, level-headed way with this position of Mars. Self-control is strong when it comes to expressing anger, drive, energy, and sexuality. Capricorn is a sign that detests waste of any kind. It also fears disorderliness and "letting go". With Mars in Capricorn, there is generally a powerful need to stay in control.

This is not to say that natives of this position are cold in any sense of the word. Their desires are strong, but they are often centered around the physical and material world -- all that can be seen and held. With Mars in an Earth sign, sensuality is expressed in an earthy way. However, unlike Mars in Taurus, for example, (another earth sign), Mars in Capricorn is not self-indulgent by nature. These people are usually quite disciplined. Capricorn possesses the ability to plan for the future—something that many other signs have difficulty doing.

Mars in Capricorn natives are working toward realistic and attainable goals. They are productive people who get off when they see tangible results from their efforts.

That's very true for me. I work hard on everything I start. I am driven when I'm passionate about something, but I always seem cool and not all that passionate on the surface.. though I am

Control means a lot to me. I always project a very cool exterior. Most people think I never have any problems, because they don't know about them. It makes me feel weird to tell people about my problems.. I'd prefer to seem on top of it all, always. But I do tell close friends. Though I never expect anyone to help me. I want to sort things out myself, but sometimes it helps to get it off your chest. The last thing I'd ever do is ask for help or accept it, if offered.. I couldn't do it. There's a strong need to fix problems on my own - I also have a cardinal sun - Aries..

Many natives with this position are a little hard on themselves, and sometimes others.

I'm very hard on myself. Even when I get very good results, I tend to think I could have done better. I'm always criticising myself.

quote:

---

You can be a very astute lover when you are in tune with your partner. But that can't always happen, and you must learn to adapt to other styles of loving at times in order to truly please your lover.

---

Sexually if I'm not *in tune*, if I don't trust enough, if I don't *feel* enough, if I'm not in a proper relationship.. there's no way anything physical will happen. I’m extremely guarded and won't even kiss someone.. unless there's a real genuine connection there - that has lasted a while.. Once I am in a relationship, I’m very open and experimental sexually.. I guess those things about Capricorn’s hidden sexuality ring very true for me.

quote:

---

You probably prefer having fairly specific boundaries of sexual expression rather than an emotional or physical free-for-all.

---

Hmm I'd rephrase that. I "prefer" (more like it *has to*) for it to happen within boundaries.. the boundaries of a relationship.. but I don't want the sexual expression itself to have any boundaries at all. My moon is also in Cap in the 8th, I'm very cautious when it comes to sex.. but once I trust the person and feel comfortable, I don't feel restricted at all, probably the opposite.

Reading most of those descriptions, i've found myself nearly totally opposite of most of quailities.

I'm very outwardly passionate about things, my self-control is sometimes short of strong, I just blow a gasket sometimes. And I almost always feel In-tune with my lover, must be some other aspect, but i've made it a point most of my adult life to Please other people before myself. Both lovers and Friends.

However the things i do possess, I can be very hard on myself, especially when i Second guess myself. And I was right the first time. I have alot of boundaries in my relationships, But my Libra Moon lets me show some emotion. And my Ideas arn't very flashy, they're very practical. I'm always planning for My Retirement, Owning my own business, things like that.

I also have a Cap Sun, So that could explain some of the Simularities.

I've noticed a few virgo qualities also, Cleanliness specificially, Im sometimes obsessed with it, and others i just let it go and think, maybe i should just get a maid.
I've been told that i also have excellent planning skills, i think that's a normal virgo quality too?

The 29th degree is a "fate degree" indicating there is strong energy with planets or points in that degree. With Libra (relationships) modifying Venus (relationships) in a "fate degree" (strong energy), relationships are VERY important to you.

Keeping it simple,

i am attracted to earth sign guys in a big way (that and air signs due to other things going on my chart). i especially like reserved men, stable men, basically capricornian men.

my sister and i were talking recently, and she was telling me that she likes guys with nice feet. she has mars in pisces, so this makes sense to me. this also got me thinking, because i like men with nice teeth - it's a big thing for me. any mars in cap girls out there who also have a thing about their partner's teeth?

(this is interesting to me as saturn is associated with teeth, and pisces with feet.)

i'm pretty controlled sexually, can go for long periods without it.

im also very dedicated, can work for long periods without a break. i like doing a good job, and it irks me when i am late, or make some small mistake. i pay attention to details.

i dont like saying i love you, or showing affection too much. i do like those things, just in moderation. i dont like clingy people.

dont know if that helps, but that's everything i can think to share that relates to my mars in cap.

Capricorn modifying Midheaven

is

Capricorn (duty) modifying Midheaven (outer world)

This indicates someone who feels a sense of responsibility to their environment, believes that they know what "should" be done in all situations, and who naturally rises to leadership positions.

Explaining,

I'm a budgetting marvel and I save save save. Once I didn't work for 6 months, yet all my bills were paid and I borrowed nothing.

I can be hard on myself and kick my own butt - and don't take well to getting my butt kicked from others cause I have never liked my own authority undermined. I'm capable of doing things myself and can be highly resourceful when I need to be.

Sexual discipline is quite strong and I can live a nun's equivalent in life with living celibate - where others cave into their sexual needs.

The downfall is that it is so easy to repress and control my actions that it gets me into a pickle and at times emotionally it leaves me constipated (It's about the best description I can come up with).
