Cap Mars.... Hmmm I think they would be slow and cautious.

"Mars in Capricorn is all about focused ambition, and if he’s into you, you’ll be the focus of his ambitions. While there’s no doubt that this Mars sign knows what he wants, the challenge lies in convincing him to let down his guard.

Project Launch

Control is the mantra of this Saturn-ruled sign. Sensual passion lurks at the core of Mars in Capricorn, but you’ll have no clue about this, initially. All you’ll see is her work ethic. She’s the one most likely to stay at the office after everyone else has gone home. But she’s not doing this out of the goodness of her heart: Mars in Capricorn has a plan, and it involves her climb to the top. So if she actually takes time out of her work day to approach you with anything besides immediate necessities, pay attention. She will use work (or something else) as an excuse, but if she doesn’t have to talk to you, she may be into you. Her approach will be an odd mix of pretense mixed with underlying directness. There won’t be any flirting, and she will be a bit dry.

Mars in Capricorn is not going to make a fool of himself with someone who’s not interested. So he’s waiting for you to display some receptiveness. If you do, get ready for him to take things to Phase 2. Now he’ll try to impress you. This won’t be overt (he’s never flashy) but if he discusses his accomplishments, he’s trying to show you what he can bring to the table. If you indicate your interest in that, he’ll take things to Phase 3 — a date. The venue will probably be traditional: a nice meal or show. He’ll pay, and it will be expensive but tasteful. At this point you may wonder if he’s really that into you, because he’s not going to be demonstrative. There will probably be zero to minimal physical contact. Although he’s still evaluating you, rest assured if you’ve gotten this far he is hot for you. He’s just keeping his lust under wraps. Remember that control is a necessity, so he must be the boss at all times. If you make a move at this point, you may cross his formidable boundaries, and there will be no second date.

Project Development

Sex will not be immediate, and the buildup make take a bit longer with this sign. Depending on how she’s dealt with her control issues, she may need a few drinks to loosen up. When you do become intimate, you’ll be surprised at her passion (that was just waiting for you to unlock it). Or, she may have all sorts of repressed desires that have become distorted. Mars in Capricorn’s greatest fear, and longing, is to lose control. This can create some interesting scenarios in the bedroom. Sex is her conduit for release, but again, she’ll have to be in charge. Occasionally, you may come across a Mars in Capricorn who is in disguise. On the outside, she’ll be proper and respectful. But inside, she’ll give free rein to her secret life. What she’s really into may shock you, especially since you thought you were getting involved with someone completely different.

Mars in Capricorn does not commit lightly. And make no mistake — he wants a commitment. If you’re at the point where you’re seeing each other regularly, things will proceed according to his carefully structured plan. For example, meet his friends, meet his family, move in together. Despite his formidable will and drive, he also wants to feel safe. And that means building a relationship with integrity. He’ll go to the ends of the earth to commit to you, but you must return the favor with honest, respectful commitment of your own. If you lie, cheat or disrespect him, you’ll be fired. He has zero tolerance for someone who abuses his trust, especially since it’s so difficult for him to trust in the first place. And while much depends on the rest of his chart, know that his actions mean absolutely everything. He may not tell you how he feels, but what he does is a direct line to his heart."

Ah, I read some of your posts before I decided to make an account, you have very thoughtful responses. What's your mercury, if you don't mind me asking?

We met at karaoke (three months ago) and I went back to his place and hung out with him and his friends, we ended up sleeping together that night and I ended up staying the night at his place the next couple weekends as well. I met his friends and he met mine, we were going out pretty often and his friends were making little comments about it and whatnot. He cooled off on me for a couple weeks and went out of town when he got back asked to see me right away and explained that

one night stands and just hooking up aren't his thing and that he likes to be in relationships. We can't be together, I'm separated and waiting for a judge to sign the papers to make it official. I know it bothers him because he told me. He said he was feeling an emotional connection but doesn't want to be a home wrecker.

I showed him proof that my ex is okay with it, and explained why it's taking so long. In my state a judge won't sign for 90 days. He's cooled off again, I'm hoping he'll come back around..but I don't really know if he's interested in me in that way or if he's just ghosting me now.

That's understandable and a tricky situation. Virgos like their romances to be ideal (in their minds), so it makes sense that he wouldn't want to get involved until you were officially separated. Also it's just smart to wait until a separation/divorce is finalized before starting something new. Too many people get strung along by partners who are officially still married and have no intentions of leaving (I'm not insinuating that's your scenario, just saying in general).

Remaining in communication with him is key. Virgos can be very cautious with their emotions and tend to be a little skittish when obstacles arise (until they're in love that is). Seems like he doesn't want to get too attached for fear of getting hurt. If he truly backs off there isn't much you can do anyway.

So to answer your question, earth signs tend to err on the side of caution. It really depends on the person. A fire sign person would just keep it going if they really believed your separation would be finalized. Air signs would be fine to just wait or keep things light.

Of course, I had no intentions to try and find someone to be with, as I understand that it would put us in a potential breeding ground for insecurities. I'm extremely caught off guard by this myself because I usually keep my emotions in control and don't often develop feelings for someone else.

We are staying in contact, it's never more than a couple days without us talking. I'm also doing my best to reassure him whenever he asks about it. He has been single for a year and his last ex lied a lot, so I'm trying to be very cautious with his feelings.

I would do the same thing if the roles were reversed...I just hope that he's the type of guy who will wait it out because most of the fire or air men I have been with ran away if they didn't have the instant gratification of being together right away.

this is good - he wants an independent woman who can take care of herself and isn't a liar or a hoe ... keep yourself happily busy in between seeing/hearing from him ...

"If you lie, cheat or disrespect him, you’ll be fired."

lol

Yes everything is just business for mars cap.

A bit dry but will stay for the long run.
Aw, I wish you didn't hide your post! I was asking about his because he sounds like a water mercury. But my sister is a leo mercury, I love the placement. We have a lot of really positive cross aspects, especially to our moons and to my venus. I've never had so many desired aspects in one chart. Our moons are exactly conjunct in his 7th house, an exact sun/venus trine, moon/mars trine, sun/moon trine, moon/venus, venus/mars conjunction, moon/uranus trine, moon/neptune trine. A lot of mercury aspects too.

I did actually ask him that, we both do it when it's been a while but it's not something either of us find enjoyment in because we like emotional connections. Probably because of my water mars and his water venus. I think we've crossed into more than just hooking up now, just from the things he's said and been doing. I would create space if I were him too. The urge to commit for me is pretty strong when we're seeing eachother a lot. I have a parking space at his house, we make plans for me to meet his friends, he got me a toothbrush lol. We've hung out and not slept together, I gave him a disclaimer that we wouldn't be and he just said he doesn't just want to sleep with me.

Earthy men are definitely slower. I think they do a lot of thinking about it first. Fire signs just get excited & go for it. Lol

Current bf is a Cap & it's frustrating cuz he expects me to initiate a lot conversations, setting up dates etc. this is so foreign to me ? I dated a Virgo a long time ago for 3 years. I didn't even know he existed lol but apparently he'd been checking me out for awhile before he got the courage to ask me out. But then that was it. I never initiated. He was crazy about me 🙂


Ohh, this virgo is so charming. There's no way I wouldn't have noticed him. He has venus exactly on his AC. ? I usually go after leo's or gemini's, I love the cat and mouse game but my earth and water placements need more security and reassurance than they've been able to provide.

My last three exes had:

Sag sun & sag mars

Leo sun, sag moon & gemini venus

Aries sun, libra moon & gemini mars

Maybe I've been missing out. ?

Yeah sounds like the fire and air guys weren't interested in anything long term with you. Guys who don't want to wait...won't wait. If this Virgo guy cares, he'll stick around.
