Just sitting here thinkin' boutchya 😊 I like how matter of fact they are and straightforward. I admire their maturity and ability to nurture too. Now for my questions: I don't want to know how to "crack" a Cappy, but as an Aries I feel so different from them. Like it's not possible to be playful AND mature. How can I be Capricorn's favorite person while still being myself? And how can I nurture a Capricorn Sun or Moon better? IP: Logged |

I'm probably the last person who could answer this now. Since I no longer exist to my Cappy sister. One memory of her that hasn't disappeared over the years, was of my very shy sister, totally rocking out in the corner of a large hall, where a party was taking place. She definitely has a sense of humour, and once told me that something would be no fun if I didn't go with her (Aries and Cappy, getting along just fine, a lot of the time - until she decided that I had to die, basically). She wasn't always mature, but she would never admit that. They usually have Aquarian and Sadge planets, which will get along with your Aries (and are playful in their own ways - Sadge, especially). My sister is a Sadge Mars and Venus in Aquarius. IP: Logged |

Aww that is a nice memory, teasel! Sorry things aren't working between you right now but I doubt you "don't exist" to her. I've always thought someone who tries so hard to erase you is indicating just how highly they think / thought of you. Maybe that's selfish or egocentric...*shrug*. In due time...Yes I do love Cap's propensity for surprises! I've never found them to be boring, ever. Their "aura" is very neutral, yes, but not their personalities etc. Agreed they will usually have Aquarius or Sag placements. I guess all that non-chalant and calm demeanor really just highlights how hyper I can get. I want them to want to be around me all the time but they seem indifferent about me (which is fine, because I love a challenge haha!) IP: Logged |

I just remembered I've seen you make threads before about trying to win over and be liked by Sag people.Seriously, you worry too much about trying to get people to like you and they probably smell that on you, for a lack of a better way to put it. Honestly theres nothing wrong with your nature and when you encounter the right Capricorn they'll find your playfulness endearing, not annoying. IP: Logged |

I'm perfectly calm because I have no emotional investment in this, its not my life. You seem a bit angry though. Why are you always trying to figure out how to make someone like you? If you were secure your stance would be more along the lines of "I'm fabulous and either you get it or you don't". IP: Logged |

Angry? Lol. If I was angry I wouldn't have responded. Put off by your tone, yeah. Always is a bit of a stretch, but I guess...thanks for paying such close attention? Never understood why someone who doesn't like the thread topic actually comments on it. 😕

Maybe she just wants to have an advantage by knowing ways? Like ideas...Geez, there's some negativity here. <rolls eyes> Anyways, Hannarama, if you want a guy to like you, be the best version of yourself you can be. Sometimes people need the ugly to feel comfortable. (So you can't be too perfect)  Also If you're not yourself , you won't feel comfortable.. Which means you won't enjoy the relationship .. You will just be advancing it to where you think it needs to be. Which is good but the idea of life is to enjoy it.. And maybe if he doesn't like the real you, he isn't the one for you... And if you think your real you isn't the best, like I said, improve it. That's all you But don't try too hard because that can be a turn off also... Or a turn on.... Really, with the right person, anything you do could work out magically Just gotta fish through the seaweed and find that LOBSTER!!!  IP: Logged |

So nice of you to ask I think you are very cool...you don't advertise yourself as being cool, you sorta keep a low profile, which could delay the process of people figuring it out... I mean, you're subtle. But then it makes you all the more interesting as time goes on, and people learn your value for themselves, knowing it's not some promotional thing you do, but your steady, ongoing nature. Capricorn thinks long-term and Taurus (your moon) is slow and steady, so I think, time will create alliances naturally. Not sure how to pick up the pace, but the more perceptive Caps will see it fast enough. You say one very insightful thing and Caps will remember that. You do it twice, three times, and Caps start to see you more and more as an asset: someone to learn from, network with, and pay attention to. IP: Logged |

If you really read her original post, she was asking how she could help a Capricorn to feel comfortable. I would think anyone would appreciate that. IP: Logged |

I have a bunch of cap placements, and imo you come across as pretty candid and likable. Ime, there are many ways to make caps feel nurtured, but offering help and/or lending a helping hand when we ask - now that stick with us. quote: playful AND mature
I like people who are like this. One of my friends, who is an aries, is one of these people. They look at difficulties and life with humor. Serious when need to be, take care of their responsibilities, but enjoy being goofy and light hearted too. Usually they are sure of themselves, and they give off a sense of inner peace and balance.

All but one Cap I know had a good sense of humor, and I'd say they play hard just as they work hard (but are mindful of their reps, and of course they won't let silliness get in the way of their ambitions).Just don't laugh at their expense. I haven't met a Cap yet that took that well. Every single one of them seemed to eat up any praise, too...though I was sure any praise I gave was genuine (even if I normally wouldn't have shared it), and flattery for the sake of flattery might not be as well received by them.

Hi Hannarama,Well I'm a Cap that loves Fiery folks, especially Aries and Sag. My chart pretty much explains way. Those Caps with personal planets in Sag or Aqua trine or sextile your Aries planets will like your company for sure. The only thing that really puts off Caps that I can think of are people that are hopelessly irresponsible. As in your life is mess... You're in debt up to your eyeballs, you're in trouble with the law, regularly engage in reckless life endangering behavior, and you sleep around and could have all manner of diseases. This freaks us out and makes us run a mile. Most people are not that extremely irresponsible though. Even the fire signs. I think most Caps also have a thing about loyalty. We give it hardcore, and expect it hardcore back. Because of this it can take a while for us to open up and trust. But if we like you this will happen eventually. I think most Caps actually admire the fire signs for their freedom of expression, outgoing nature, passion, spontaneity, and courage. I know I do. I'm certainly massively attracted to fire sign guys, and do feel there are some things I can learn from fire sign women too. Caps like to plan their moves before they take action, and are capable of contemplating are person or situation for a long time before the decide firmly on what to do about. We're keen observers. I think signs like Aries actually make an excellent compliment to Caps, because they encourage us to act more quickly (which is needed sometimes), and their infectious enthusiasm helps us to be more direct and open up. So my main advice is to be your authentic Aries self, and the right kind of Cap will adore you. As long as you're not a hot mess, are reasonable, and are not too rude and arrogent (Not that I think you're any of those things). Caps generally need someone who treats them with respect, is straight with them, and who has the patience to wait for us to come out of our shell. Knowing to to encourage this gently (with out being too demanding) is really appreciated to. The trick is to be friendly but not push them to hard. Just leave the door open for a connection, and we'll take you up on it (if we like) you bit by bit. If you like Cap guys, he might think about you for a long time before asking you out. Here again, I'd recommend just being friendly and cordial to him, and waiting for him do decide he wants to make a move. You could even flirt a little or say you like guys just like him. But let him do the actually asking. Caps are cautious but he's still a man, and he'd like to feel he's done something to 'win' you. These are just my observations. IP: Logged |

YES! So much "yes" to all three posts! Yeah the way Capricorns can execute something is what I want to cultivate! Just for my own kicks and giggles. Capricorns know just what and when to say something, it's brilliant. The loyalty thing is a bit difficult for me. For some reason my oppositional nature comes out with a Capricorn and even though I love the consistency they offer - it feeds my Taurus moon afterall - I don't give it back. I have good intentions, I want to (maybe want to be able to), but I don't. ME having to do it bores me. THEM doing it for me is enjoyable. Uhm.. maybe that's called being selfish? Oops. Who are you more loyal to as a Capricorn? People that you've known a long time who may not be the best people, or those you feel your equal (same job status, similar lifestyle, etc.) IP: Logged |

That was one thing that surprised (and hurt) me: I was more loyal than my sister. Her coldness at times also really hurt. I've wished that I could be like that, in order to move on from someone: just act as though they don't exist, or be really cold and rude to them, but last year, when I felt like I was turning into her - thanks to the effect she had on me - I didn't like it at all. I prefer being able to ignore someone's put-downs, but not ice them out completely. That isn't me.Not that all Caps are this way. I'm trying really hard not to vent too much about her, because it doesn't help, anyway. It won't change anything. But I was reminded of something hurtful tonight. IP: Logged |

I catch feelings more for Capricorn moons, but Capricorns suns like me (weird, or not...). Thankfully I've been un-boy crazy for a year now! I posted this more because I was thinking about an old friend who was a Scorpio Sun / Capricorn moon and even through 8 years and more ups than downs I never felt like she got how awesome I was lmao! In return I think my Aries planets and carefree air ASC etc. was too detached for her. Anyway, I could probably work on the patience and being gentle thing... just because I'm not huffing and puffing outwardly doesn't mean I'm being patient, haha. Good advice Lotis, good to hear from you again!  IP: Logged |

I like people who bring different things to the table. Compared to people who are close to me, I'm definitely one of the most reliable ones out of the bunch. But they have other qualities that I admire. So I appreciate them and I don't need them to be similar/the same as me. I need someone who is at least nearly as reliable as me for romantic relationship though. And I'm loyal to people who truly "touch" me in some ways. Hah I make it sound weird. One of my best friends, is not really responsible. Beautiful person, has a tendency to bite off more than she can chew. I diligently help her clean up her messes every now and then. She's very idealistic in some ways. I love it. Truly one of those people who don't mind if you're alone and scorned, or if you have a whole army behind you. She gave me one of the first memories of warmth. It stuck to me, whenever I look at her I see it. So despite everything, the friendship is long. IP: Logged | |
