Leo an Cap are "inconjunct" energies.This usually means that they are similar from far. But far from similar- if you get the contradiction.
Leo is forever confident, Capricorn often self-doubts.
And so this push-pull dynamic in a birthcahrt often has someon who "appears" a lot more "toetehr" and confident , than they actually are.
The more moutains Capricorn climbs, the higher their confidnce is. the les mountains there are to climb, the less confident they are.
Leo thinks themselves great regardless. And therein lies the difference.
Often Capricorn will say "what makes you so confident and self-assured Leo?"
To which Leo will answer " Nothing. I just am".
So with Venus in Leo/Mars in Capricorn, you often have someone who starts off very well and makes a very good impression on others. Often easily attarcting suitors etc(Venus in Leo).
But then, the execution(Mars) is often shaky, self-doubting and inhibited (Capricorn).
This is often especially when the native is still young and doesn't know their own strength. Or hasn't climbed as many mountains to realize their capabilities.
Usually the career does it for these Mrs signs: They really feel 'sexier" when they have something they are doing towards self-improvement.
So this man will often attract other by appearing very confident, dignified and self-assured(Venus in Leo).
This is usually their "sex appeal".
But you may also notice a more reticent side come out when it comes to social relations. As if the individual 'hides away".
When this happens, keep the conversation geared towards work, ambitions and goals. this is he area that they feel more confident.
Then over time, you can involve more personal conversations about family and the private life: Keep the sentiment to yourself. they don't deal well with handing out the handkerchief and listening "woes me" stories.
The nice things about Cap energy is that once you get them to open up, then open up they do.
And the other good news is that, with you Venus in Scorpio, you both will enjoy private moments where the outside world knows very little of what goes on between the two of you.
I once dated someone with a Mars in Capricorn. I found that the more I cheered and encouraged them on to their goals, the "sexier" they felt.
So I was like a lover/coach/mentor- giving advice in work issues and always showing them their worth(to their face).
I feel like less is always "more" with Cap. So keep that in mind in whatever you do.
the self doubt and shakiness .. would that not be moon in capricorn more? isn't mars like the execution? so he'd go about getting what he wants in a cap way and whatever self doubts etc whether he has them or not that would be tied to his moon?
