Security is very important to people with Venus in Capricorn, and they look for a relationship that is stable and has the power to endure, no matter how tough the going. They deeply desire a long-term commitment with a partner who is a true complement and can take them where they cannot go alone. They always try to say and do the right thing in love and will do anything to stay with their mate. Before they enter any union they are extremely suspicious of their intended and need to have proof of his or her undying affection, for they dread rebuff or failure of any alliance. They are first and foremost attracted to strength of character in a person rather than physical beauty; they never choose anyone who is flaky, flighty, or financially careless. In this manner they obtain the strong tie they seek by choosing compotent and confident partners who are emotionally responsible, serious, and discriminating. In the rarest of instances Venus in Capricorn people will forgo tying the knot entirely if their destiny is to pursue goals loftier than earthly marriage.

Foundation building is important to them and this includes how conventional society views their partnership, as they always live up to social norms. They strive hard to offer material security to their mate but care more about how others see their homes and possessions as symbols of their wordly success. They rarely partner with anyone they think is beneath them and often couple for social or business considerations instead of following their hearts, which can leave them with a cold, disinterested partner and ruin their chances for true happiness in marriage. They are always looking for their big chance in love before they make a commitment and mix in social circles that promise to help them improve their position in life. They gladly romance anyone who is from a prominent family, has good connections, is wealthy or powerful or is from a higher social stratum than they, for desire and ambition always go hand in hand with these people.

They are often wise beyond their years where emotions are concerned, but are timid and insecure about love and can turn off their affections in an instant if they feel they are not being appreciated. Their outer assurance often hides inner doubt and they frequently express the opposite of what they feel. They are terribly shy and fear that if they give too much of themselves they will get hurt, so their inhibition is a self-defence mechanism. They find it hard to make the first move romantically, as they are somewhat socially withdrawn and hesitant about displaying their emotions openly. If they do suffer in love, they will be eternally bitter and resentful toward that person, and never give them a second chance. All adversity in relationships is a challenge to these people, and disappointments rarely hold them back- though they silently go through much agony and pain. They are very lustful sex partners who take time to mature but grow more affectionate as they get oder. Their appetites are strong and they will spend time and money in search of pleasure-which can get them into trouble.

Venus in Capricorn natives are very popular with business associates and almost always have friends in socially prominent or important positions, friends through whom they can realize career advancement. They work hard to gain the respect of mentors, executives, well-respected elders in their profession, famous people, and the wealthy who will help them gain positions of authority and responsibility so they can fulfill their greatest ambition: to achieve prestige and make lots of money.

Mars in Capricorn
This combination is the earmark of great energy applied to materialistic gain. It is the best position for Mars for wordly success, as these people rarely do anything that interferes with achievement of financial security. They always use their personal resources to make steady and sure progess in life and to move ever closer to their goals through patient and persistent effort. They are always ready to meet new challenges, take action, or lead others and can carry many burdens on their efforts to reach the heights. These enterprising people are born commanders who almost always have some public success. They are good organizers who like authority and responsibility, and their executive or managerial skills find them ready to rise to positions of power. They feel as though they own the world and are brave and heroic warriors who take charge and struggle hard to be the best at all they do. They usually receive support from influential, wealthy, or powerful people who push them ever higher up the ladder of success. They have courage, discipline, and ambition to overcome any obstacles they encounter; nothing can deter them from plowing their way to the top. They love to put long-range plans into motion and take on large-scale projects that will give them plenty of scope for action.

They constantly push themselves because they feel it is their duty to accomplish as much as possible. On the home front they are superlative providers who feel good about spending money on their loved ones. They can be difficult to get to know because they tend to be silent types who rarely explain their actions or talk about their plans. They can be a little dull because they are so determined to be successful; this can translate into boredom in the bedroom. They can easily contol their sexual urges and suppress their desires because they are extremely cautious about forming physical relationships whithout testing the other person first. They do not take sex lightly and enjoy monogamous, serious, and committed unions where they can feel that it is safe to let themselves blossom sensually. They are traditional, almost biblical lovers who are highly moralistic, and if a potential mate meets their exacting standards, they will take the plunge, though they will wait for the right time and the right way to approach someone they may have been attracted to for a long time. They are aware that their choice of partner influences both their social standing and their future material security, so they look for someone who respects their ambitions and can help them move forward in the world.
