        "to deal with them properly".
        I sense a bit of a struggle ;-)

        Every sign has its pros and cons.

        I suspect that you may be talking about, um, the 'stubbornness' perhaps; their determination to implement their will and their seemingly unemotional going about it in fulfilling their 'plan'. I don't know... If one should be poking you from the side, then I suggest that you step back a little and try to bring yourself into a logical frame of mind. Then, try telling them gently that it's not working, and that if they truly care for you, that their steady poking and pushing must seize, for that otherwise you will have to excuse yourself from their sight for an undisclosed amount of time. This has usually worked pretty well for me. Just know that they mean well; 'poking' is just their natural way, which makes them who they are; this serves them well. They are achievers, they build bridges and they forge relationships that if nurtured well will last for as long as you allow them to last; a life-time, if you care. They are very sweet, honest people; kinda like Aries minus some of the fire... In my case, being Scorpio, I find the shared interest in the occult and a seemingly inherent drive to uphold 'justice' wherever we are to be one of the more interesting shared aspects and points of attraction between the two. The Cancer-Capricorn dynamic may be a slightly more intricate matter to properly maintain. Try to take into account that their emotional treshold is not quite as 'expansive' as yours. Be gentle, and they will listen. Just my $0.02. They both start with "Ca" though ;-)~

        Feel free to tell me that I'm completely off.

          I loved that synopsis you gave, I am 'inextricably linked' to a Cap sun with a most charming Libra ASC. conj. Neptune&Mars, natally, squaring sun. Seems nice, but moon in Gemini in 8th adds complications to matters......
          I have Leo ASC. square Neptune &Mars on one side, but square Moon on the other - making a lovely TSQUARE!! He also has heaps of air which frustrated the hell outta me -m I'm all earth, water and fire!
          Yet we can't 'let go'...........

        If you ever need help scaring them away, call on me. I'm a Cancer too who just tried recently to seduce a Cappy. I was halfway there, got a yes to the date, but unfortunately the date never came and he got cold feet and decided it was best for us to not go out at all (because he is good friends with my brother and it would be strange and blah blah blah blah)

        I think my confidence in asking him out and coming on strong scared him away.

        Cancers and Capricorns are wonderful together though.

        "Being Cancerian , I'm trying to figure out how to deal with them properly."

        Is this "them" properly really mean "her?'

        Capricorn woman here!

        I read that five times before dissecting it .

        It comes off slightly confusing yet alluring and sexy in a cute-yet weird sort of way so ....you

        are on the right tract and get bonus round points.

        But your Capricorn female in question will think these questions through and won't exactly

        ask what is meant by it because you wrote 'them."

        Capricorn's want to know who you are .

        Capricorn's want you to be yourself and appreciate and respect them for who they are .

        Capricorn's take to heart your words and what they are saying and your approach to things

        and such.

        No actions are overlooked whether inquired about or not.

        Don't try to make huge impression or we will expect that and more from you.

        Anything less is a betrayal and seen as a disguise to trick us .

        If you dispise the things a Capricorn loves then say so without belittling- just give the facts.

        We can deal with it and find things both will like and can still have separate interest.

        And under no circumstance pretend you like things and are a certian way other than who

        you really are.

        Just be yourself - Capricorn's are negoicators we need to know what we are befriending or

        falling in love with

        If she is the Apple of your eye create a special eclusive status for her.

        If you are considering her to be your girlfriend ,anything regarding the opposite sex

        which is not mother or children- run it pass her and describe the relationship.

        IF she becomes a girlfriend always introduce her as such.

        Move in slowly - if you declare your feelings and she doesn't say no way ! or give a negitve

        verbal response then don't assume the worst of what may appear to be indifference.

        If you just want a date to see where things will go ----then say that using clear and direct

        words.

        Or become a friend first and later if things seem be right ---then drop the ball later.

        Don't say anything unless you absolutely mean it .

        It will take longer for you to get a positive response than a negaitive one.

        We are slow moving annoying goats , yet in another universe deep within the sculpture of

        ice we are blushing and shaking in the knees while screaming and giggling with delight.

        A Capricorn woman offers a lot in return for your loyality , honesty and patience.Capricorn

        women have a very private and passonate side which is nothing short of

        unforgettable .

        Best of luck , if anything we can make very loyal and long lasting friends .

          I am a Capricorn with a Scorpio ascendant and I have to agree with Kate.
          I am not a romantic person and usually get a bit embarassed by romantic overtures.
          I don't like dating because men then put on a different persona.
          In the beginning (pre-dating) they act normal and nice and I like them, but after they got the date secured they are trying to impress me which doesn't impress me at all. I liked them when they were acting... wel normal! Just be yourself, do not try to be a better, more sophisticated version of yourself. Romance is nice.. but it is not as important as treating a woman as an equal and not just someone you have to woo or to conquer.
          I know I am completely opposite of most people's idea of dating but I find that the friends first and than casually rolling into something more, approach very nice. Just on equal footing.

          good luck!

        Wow. As a capricorn, and talking to a cancer....I would be cautious. We are opposites of the zodiac, and find each other fascinating, but frustrating. We are NOT the openly emotional ones, much unlike cancers. However, we are both prone to sulk when upset. Most of my relationships with cancers (in and out of the bedroom) usually end in tears and lost communication. Now, I'm not saying you are fighting a lost cause, but a touchy one. Do not disrespect capricorn. We don't mind holding grudges, but neither do you (cancers). So...proceed lightly. We are introverts and our emotions are private to us. If you want to get under our skin, you will NOT pry. Cancer is a water sign. Capricorn is earth. We are to 'cool, dry' ones. Often preceived as cold, but if treated right, we are deeply passionate. I do wish you luck. I hope I was not too negative, but just trying to let you see it from the female cap side of things.

    I'm a capricorn, and I've been in love with capricorns. The loyalty is all there...caps like direction, and passion (in and out of the bedroom), and caps work from a logical point of view...depersonalizing themselves from the situation, any situation, to sort out the information. Probably the best consistant sex I've ever had...caps don't like to support others unless that is the goal. My mom is a cap and she always wanted to stay at home and raise the kids...she did a great job...just use plain language, as hints and analogies are too much effort to figure out... the overactive capricorn mind will break it down, then break it down again, and again, and again. The result is like playing the telephone game with non-english participants in an english world...Still, though, the sign I have the most affection for.

      Andrew is right, you certainly want to be up on the Ps and Qs of social graces. The Cancer Cap combination is a very nice one. But it's best that you don't shut down and shut up when you're unhappy like Cancereans are apt to do. You Cap partner will want to help and will feel alienated by your silence, we're sensitive you know.
      To start a realtionship with a Capricorn woman you'll have to make the first move. She may have a burning passion for you, but she'll be reluctant to show you this until she's sure of your interest in her and sincerity of feeling for her.
      Capricorn women like to be impressed by the men they date, but they find bragging unseemly. Find a middle ground here, impress her with your mind or you're accomplishments, do you play violin or do you have a knack at picking stocks? We're moved by kindness as well are you good with kids or dogs, do you volunteer at work or in a homeless shelter? If the answer is yes to any of those questions, include that information somewhere in your conversation with her.

    I am a Cappy, and I do have to admit, I am different from my other female friends. They talk of romantic dinners and gifts and blah blah. Romantic mushy gushy isn't my thing. In fact, it kind of embarasses me cause it puts me on the spot to say something "out of a soap opera" which I don't watch. I have a sense of humor (sometimes one only the guys can appreciate) and I can be sarcastic.

      Me too!! I'm a Cappy & don't have many female friends b/c there isn't usually any common interests - I get along with the guys much more easily. It isn't that I don't like the romantic dinners & stuff, but I don't feel the need to gush about it with other chics. I gush maybe with my mother, and then keep it private.

        I must agree, I'm a cap w/ scorpio rising and a moon in pieces, cancer's is our oppsite sign, so they have what we don't; emotion. They are great friends because my mom is a cancer, the worry and panic more than caps-to me. How to deal with us: just be true, loyal, and honest and we all will get along. And I don't have many female friends, mostly male because me and other females don't really get along, especially when it comes to discussing intimate details about my relationships, its a real big NO. To me, guys seem more easy to talk to, they don 't ask a bounch of questions and stuff, they're just good company to chill-out with.

Save the flowers though unless you want to put petals in the bathtub. I've heard quite a few Capricorn woman talk about how fond they are of long luxurious baths.

    Daniel,

    I see this is an old post, but a subject I have some experience with. My dad is a Cap and my youngest son is a Triple Cap with Mercury, Venus, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune all in Cap. He is an amazing child and I don't believe I say that just because I am his mom..lol. He is very intuitive (12th house Moon). He is also very sensitive (may be the moon again). He can be very serious about anything he is interested in. He is more mature than others his age. He is also very black and white.

    On to my dad. Dad is a very successful business man. He was a born engineer (Cap Sun, Virgo Rising and Moon). He can also be very black and white. He detests lying and as long as I would tell him the truth, he wouldn't get mad. Lie to him and it is all over. He is a workaholic in many ways. To him, money and "stuff" equals love. He tends to be very loyal to his friends and many of them he has had for most of his 66 years on this planet. It kind of amazes me. He was the validictorian of his HS class and tops in college as well. Anything he touches turns to gold, except marriages!...lol.

    I dated 2 Caps. They too were very work focused. Very intense. If a Cap doesn't care about something, it seems that there isn't much you can do to change their minds.

    Hope that helps a bit.

    I'm a cap and I have a new friendship with a cancerian (female). And its been a little challenging. I'm the type of cap that gets my business done and I only have a limited amount of patience for someone who is less driven or I guess less active in moving their life forward, which I have found my new cancerian friend to be. I actually needed a break for awhile b/c our differences were clashing. But it gave me time to get the understanding that people have their own pace and if its not affecting my life, I just need to stay out of it.

    But in other areas, me and my cancerian friend have a similar type of humor, have similar interests in entertainment as well. We get along very well in all areas except how we run our lives.

      Oh, I didn't answer "how to deal with one." We are very into stability, security, and loyalty. So, if you exude those characteristics, you won't have to 'deal' with us, we'll be quite content. And we're pretty intelligent, so a witty sense of humor goes a very long way!

        Think of Capricorn a little differently than the established view. First of all, think of Cap as an alchemist. Changing lead into Gold. Thats what they do becuase they are so focused, there a Cardinal sign, aggresive in silence. Cancers rule absortion, the Moon absorbs more light in relativity to us than any other planet, with that, Cancers constantly absorb what ever they need for Emotional stability, being food, to water, to wealth. Cancers collect and store energy (Material comforts, home) Now look at Capricorn, they do not absorb, they use what they got, and they will use what is available, they have no needs because all they need is there FOCUS. Yep Capricorns can be the most focused people on the planet, and in my eyes they are. Even when you read your chart, Saturn represent restrictions, thats focus on one aspect and not on a variety of aspects. Centrialized, stoic, constructive in analasis. Serious but with a childlike naivity but not in the lest bit Niave. COMMON SENSE rules. Steadfast and willing to take the time to succeed in what it is they like to do, because success is daily doing. Extreme Practicality, no waste. They are cautious, it seems they never take a chance when in fact its the chances that they take that they succeed in because of Focus, common sense, serious, childlike, and a given ability to sense what is needed. There stoic nature makes them like wallflowers until someone talks to them, then the games begin. Dry humour, and Capricorns seem to grow up fast and get childlike at they get older. Capricorn senses the spirituality in him, understands the connection to all, thats why they need nothing and use everything. Capricorns are here to develop a true connection with Wisdom. Thats there real goal.

            A perfect example of Capricorn is Howard Hughes, he cared nothing about money because he new money was just a tool. He made billions, but his main drive was to create and succeed in what ever he got involved with. He turned lead into Gold.

                OKay....I'm and Aries sun, Scorpio moon and Leo ascendant and I'm married to a Capricorn Sun, Aquarius moon, and Virgo Ascendant. Not a good match. He's too cold but he provides well for us. He can be overly critical and have blind rages.When he comes home it's like a black cloud enters the house with him. He ignores the kids and me. He's more concerned with finances first and family second. I tell him to pay attention to the kids and worry about everything else after they're in bed.

          Common sense and focus, both so meaningful and true. I am a capricorn sun with virgo moon and pisces rising. In my experiences (myself and other cappies), when we know our way is most straight forward and all that, when other people try to tell us their own ideas, we can't see past it. We'll be like, "But that way it will...." and stuff. We will be stubborn and won't understand why other people can't see that this way is best.
          And yes, most capricorns do seem to have a dry humor.

          As for capricorn with cancer, my older brother is a cancer and we get along quite well. It is true that cancers tend to get more emotional than us cappies, but for most of the time, cancer and capricorns get along fine and without too much arguments.

    I am a Cancerian man in a long term relationship with a wonderful Cappy Lady.

    I want to say: please pay attention to Kate's advice above.

    As I read it, I was completely delighted, daydreaming and wistfully reminded of what I love about my Capricorn woman. So very well articulated, Kate! Thank you very much.

    I don't think what I have to offer will actually help much with starting a relationship, but it may be useful somehow I hope.

    My advice: Be yourself.

    All of us Cancers are sensitive, perceptive, almost psychic at times....we read between the lines. But you knew that. Try to use that to read where she needs care, not where you want to put it. Play to your strengths, it's scarier but anything else would be fibbing.

    Keep your heart on your devotion and not just your needs...learn to trust her to take care of that. Capricorn is like Cancer that way: she's not afraid of hard work either, let her work, you won't be sorry.

    As a Cancerian, you have a lot of wonderful stuff to offer a Capricorn, but make no mistake, it won't be Capricorn stuff you will be giving! Give of your uniqueness, it's what she wants from you AND what you want from her.

    If you are like me, Crabs will love to give for giving's sake...it's like crack or something ;) , but learn to give what she really needs... you can know what that is if you let yourself know. Be brave.

    I have learned to show a particularly special respect for her and encourage her in her goals, comfort her in her (kinda secret) loneliness, reassure her in her concerns. Just don't blab about it...not even to your Mom.

    I have found it very, very important in this particular relationship to own all my own feelings, no matter how intense they are from moon to moon (or minute to minute), otherwise she tries to be responsible for them (God bless her for trying) and we both end up frustrated. When I own my feelings, we both win and she can have such incredibly insightful and appropriate advice when I do.

    Don't make the mistake of assuming you want someone to be responsible for your feelings, only try to see how responsible she is with hers....maybe that's what the mysterious attraction is after all. The missing piece of the Circle.

    Trust your sensitivity to guide you, trust your insight into what other people really need. It's scarier that way....but you have to play to your strengths.

    Believe in yourself and she will too.
