Ok, it's official. I'm booed up with a Cap man, we are both our 30s. Both artists...
That being said, I am so mystified and intrigued by his character. Has anyone experience Caps being kinda clingy? He is an odd mix of cling and then vacant/distant. Allow me to explain:
First of all he's included me in every part of his life. His friendships, partnerships, music, travel, family. And very quickly. Secondly he wants a lot of my time/attention. It seems like any spare time he has. Which is great, but this girl needs a day or two to collect her thoughts! And usually just to sleep!! Other times he's with me, but he seems far away. He has the whole blank stoicness. It's a weird mix of wanting him closer and being like, dude I need some space. Has anyone else experienced this? It's pretty interesting! I've noticed the day we separate he's very "I miss you I miss you." Then if a few days go by he seems to adapt and temper it better. The only other person I've seen be like that is a Cancer. But they are steady cling. He's not like that.

more controlling you mean. anyways he's really into you...and caps aren't partiers, so they'll make you their life.

just tell him you need space...but be real sweet about it...they're sensitive
He is a partier though. He's super social. I guess he sees it as part of his work since all artists build by networking. He's more social than I am for sure.
That being said I will tell him if I need to. He usually picks up on my vibe and doesn't push. I need to be assertive. I'm just inquiring about their nature. I find him terribly interesting. A bit of a contradiction.....Also when we fall asleep he is the absolute most cuddly person I've ever encountered (except a cancer). He always has his hands on me during the day, whether on my leg or holding hands. And he has not a drop of cancer in his chart!

they're really family oriented and very clingy to their family. like crabs are. except crabs are adventurous and we like to go out and see different people, caps have a small circle
I'm telling u he's not a normal Cap. He knows everyone. We cant go anywhere without him knowing someone. But I see that it's on a superficial level and he's more choosy about who knows him... He cares about his family but isn't clingy with them either. He's the black sheep. Must be the whole artist / rolling stone thing....

funny you mention cancers, our opposites, being similar lol.

i think i can be like that. clingy, but not completely "present" if that makes sense.
That makes a ton of sense actually. Where do you go when you're not present? He can be robotic at times. Which doesn't bother me, it just makes me curious.

Everywhere. My imagination is much more interesting than my reality, always been, but I think a lot period...I think a lot of Caps do. About past and future, I think it's harder to be in the present for me personally.

That makes sense. He's got a very busy mind. So is it fair to say it's not personal to the person with them, its just how they are? Honestly even in the midst of fun, he has these blank eyes, which just makes everything more hilarious because he's a goofball with this serial killer look.

We love to network. It's about who you know and who knows you. I'm always in my head, which gives me a stoic look. I'm known for that.

As far as being clingy, I don't think we're very mushy clingy, I'll just let you know with little notes, messages, calls that I'm thinking about you, and I love to cuddle with my scorpio whenever I can, and I love holding hands.
Very sweet.

He also always buries his head in my chest, and sleeps in my arms, instead of the opposite. ALSO like cancers......
Might be a guy thing, scorp and sag liked doing that as well.
Hmmmmm
Seems very ..motherly

True, it's nurturing to them, and I think all men still wamt to be nurtured in a loving way, lIke mom used to but by their woman. The bosom is a place they usually like to lay their heads.

My scorp lays his head on my bosom while watching tv and I caress his hair or his back. It's knocked him out a few times. He says it's soothing.

Yikes. If he pulled that I'd be gone. I don't do disappearing acts. Then again, I would never ask him that question. I would just watch.

My cap is like that too. He wants all of my attention when we're together. When we're apart he texts all thru the day and usually calls once a day and then at night. Very inclusive of me and my daughter in every part of his life. He's extroverted. Very consistent in his behavior. He's never disappeared or gone into dark moods even though he's had some very rough times since I've known him. Basically he's nothing like the stereotypical cap you read about on here. I thought it was because of his cancer rising. Now I'm thinking it could be the gem moons need to be constantly communicating.
Similar deal. He texts me a lot. We never talk on the phone. He hates talking on the phone. I'm not all too fond of it either, but if we ever were long distance he would need to pick up that habit. He's been pretty consistent so far but its only the beginning. Always texts before bed. Doesn't start texting till after noon. (Which I appreciate. He knows I like my mornings quiet)
I don't find my cap to be the typical cap. he has a friend that is....But I see a lot of that in him. He's very social though and wants to be around people and is comfortable doing so. He still has a whole nother world inside. I don't find him to be organized either or grounded....Perhaps all the aqua in him. Leo rising...LOOK AT MEEEEEE

no he doesnt sound clingy, he sound like he knows what its like to be in relationship and the dos and dont.

i think capricorns are so great at being sincer and thoughtful on whatever they do. that they give off the impression of being obsessed which doesnt make sense. they are only doing things right.

yes, they are too sweet and giving they do expect to be treated the same, they dont just get you involved in their shit for the sake of it. they need you to do the same or else they would feel like youre using them-un appreciated...etc!
I wouldn't go that far about this one.
He can be a bit selfish. But definitely very attentive, detailed. Thoughtful.

How long has this been going on? The last time I came across a cap like this, he soon realized things were moving too quickly & then went MIA. Once he saw how close we were getting, it's like he went into panic mode or something.
He doesn't go MIA. If he did I would be D-O-N-E!
I figured something out...when he's missing me he tries to check himself or keep cool to compensate. Last night he just really wanted to see me but scolded himself for 'being whiney' (what he calls himself when he just really misses me and wants to see me no matter what). I don't think it's whiney I think it's sweet. He admitted he was trying to not come over even though he really wanted to. He came by last night and things were really good. I just need like a day or two of space and I'm all good. He's very sweet, I think his pride gets in the way sometimes. And when he's overthinking, he's awkward. I'm so relieved things are as they were. We have a rollerskating date on Friday haha. Should be funny!

Oh ok well I hope he doesn't! Mine was intertwined with friends & family too...it was so odd! Enjoy it though ...not all of them are the same that's for sure 😉
Thanks. And good to know. I kinda feel like he's seeing how I fit into his world. etc. Nothing in this life is certain, but we have had most serious convos about what we want out of life. He wants kids one day me too...he says he wants a relationship that will last as long as it can, I feel the same way. IDK whether we will get what we want, but we are doing okay so far. As long as he treats me with respect/ doesn't ignore, I can work with him. He's a wild card though, that's for sure. I'm very curious how he feels about marriage. He kinda knocked the fact that straight people are calling their significant other of a long time a 'partner' I wonder if he was thinking about marriage. That will come up though in the future.

My Cap guy is very outgoing to and loves people, loves his job and is passionate about it, we talk for hours some nights, i would say a week after meeting he tells me he loves me and says he means it and i beleive him, wanting to know what i was doing all the time calling me a lot and saying he wont share me with anyone, he will call me nightly to fall asleep on the phone together and loves his family very much, very forgetful though, lost his phone again.

I am a Cap female and this interest me because he sounds like me. I learned I'm clingy, they say. I later learned it's some form of control, they say. I'm just not comfortable unless I have everyone I love, which are few, close. I need to know where they are, what they're doing, etc (kids and in relationships). It aggravates them, I know and I've pushed men away but I need that. I hate it though and I'm working on it. It makes me tired trying anyway, but as long as in I'm their presence I could care less what they're up... As if, I'm some kind of protector or something lol.' But the way I see it, it's all love and it means I really care about your wellbeing but it's misunderstood, so they sneak and try to hide things from me.

He sounds like me and I think he likes u a lot. I think nothing wrong with keeping the ones you close. Plus he's talking future. That's me when I care about someone a lot . Awkward

Thank you this is very reassuring. I think it's an earth sign thing honestly. The taurus I was with was the same way, but I didn't feel his intentions were good (he was jealous, afraid, trying to keep me down). I feel the cap is (curious, territorial, observant). Do you think this is a sign of love? I feel I am in love with him but he's not as verbally demonstrative. I have been holding back from it.

Also, sometimes I feel like he is using a lot of my resources and is very me me me I I I I when he talks. Whereas I'm very we we we or talking about collaborating/partnerships. Sometimes it annoys me. he can go on and on about himself. Idk if that's cap thing or his leo rising. It's kinda draining after a while honestly. I get tired of him talking about what he's going to do, I wanna just see him do it. Or ask for help if you need help with it...otherwise it's just bla bla bla to me. But maybe I'm just annoyed bc of mercury retro....but he's always at my apartment, I'm making my food for him. When we go out I pay for my own stuff...we take my car a lot (his car is out of commission)....and then he's going on about himself...idk Isn't the cap. phrase "I USE" ? Can any caps shed insight on this? But in other ways I find him very giving...he's very adaptable, if I say I wanna go somewhere he's always in, he always checks to make sure I'm comfortable. He's polite. I'm just trying to understand caps honestly, but I see a potential for them to be selfish if you don't have your own strength and agenda / ambitions as well. I don't want to feel that I'm the person contributing most of the resources. Especially as a woman, that turn me off. And if I allow it to always be this way, he won't step up. I feel he needs to step up...make some decisions, get his car fixed, get some stability. Set goals and achieve them, not just talk about them. Instead he can be such a rolling stone. He gets pulled off track al ot.... I don't want to allow

Well, i brought this stuff up to him. it was awkward he was kinda in shock. he said he 'didn't know what to do' and after long bouts of silence said that wasn't what he intended. was very clinging during sleep and in the morning. i said i hope you're not upset with me and we finally had a real heart to heart. capricorns definitely do not do good with words/emotions lol. its like they dig a hole for themselves. he tried. he's trying. i have to be careful i have a hunch he cant stand many more criticisms. it will just come to the point where i will have to decide. also we are spending so much time together i get irritable with anyone. i am used to being alone.

lol@dig a hole for themselves. what do you mean by that?

with the talks of what hes going to do, i hope he isnt buying time...meaning just saying things because they sound good in hopes of keeping you around longer...not with the intentions of actually doing them. i say that because he sounds a bit lost.

more critisisms will just make him sink deeper into his shell, especially if he realizes that you see through him.

about his goals tell him you want him to show you more than tell you, if you havent told him already.

Well, last night he really turned me off....
Dig a hole. Here's an example: At the show I was about an hour later then him arriving. He said something to me like I always scan the room for all the pretty girls but nah...and looked at me, insinuating I was the prettiest. I don't really take this as a compliment bc I think its very superficial. I'm not someone who is that impressed by physical attributes, although I care for myself, I'm impressed by intelligent, unique, hard working people. That being said, I was like, why the hell are you scanning the room for pretty girls? As if he is surveying his options. I didn't really say anything, but it was off putting. There was another incidence, but I won't go on about it.

LOST. Yes. He is lost. He is basically Peter Pan. 100 percent. I don't find him to be grounded. I find him to be rebellious and a rolling stone. A creative genius, but I don't see the application frequently honestly. He knows everyone, but he's not doing much with it. Just turning over the same stones.

I don't want someone I have to teach , I know that doesn't work. I don't think he's ready for me, may never be honestly. He can't provide for me or a family. I'm not saying I want someone to I will always work, but I do want someone who is on their sxxt. Idk. I was so turned off last night I just totally blanked out in the middle of sex. He picked up on that and stopped, was very nurturing, but it was kinda irrelevant at that point. I can see why his relationships never last more than a year and he is 34. He has NO idea how to create a sustainable relationship. Also he kinda said that I couldn't break his heart and if I left him it would be 'unfavorable' lol. I was like, oh wow. You really got that wall up.

He sounds like a pisces lilith...reminds me of myself.

I think you know what you need to do. He has to be fed up with himself before he changes, and at 34 who is to say when that will happen.

He doesnt sound ready for anything serious at all.
Inana i'd be happy to link you to his chart via Private Message. It's very aqua/leo heavy.
Well. I actually thought about it and came to the conclusion that yes, I feel very lost right now too. So it makes sense why we linked and why its freaking me out. He's my mirror and its hard. I have a lot to get together as well. And that should be my main focus. He's been mostly very sweet, but needs a lot of attention. I need to fix some life things: living situation/job/music, etc.
Not sure how to tell him that or what...but I'll figure it out. All he really has to offer is his time (lots of it) and connections. He knows EVERYONE artistic in this city that isn't famous yet. They are all very talented. That is valuable to me. I just need some space to think straight. We have a 1.5 week trip planned to see my mom in Florida. I'm kind of dreading it now, but perhaps my mood will subside if I take some time to myself. I think we have officially left the honeymoon period.

yes. I experience them as clingy, but I don't think they're actually being clingy. I think it's as you said "territorial". They can be possessive. I have a close Cap friend (rare), and she is LITERALLY a super Cap. super super Cap

She has her Sun/Moon/Ascendant/Mercury/Venus/Mars/Uranus/Neptune ALL IN CAP. Talk about a stellium. The conjunctions are unreal in her chart. Only her moon and Mars are in the 12th house. Everything else is in the first due to her ascendant also being Capricorn. She has always told me she's very possessive, but I think sometimes people perceive that as being clingy. She's a great person though, and any man would be lucky to have her. Very ambitious and big-hearted. I think that they very much value being with who they are interested in. My friend is that way, and she feels saddened if she can't be with the guy she likes. She doesn't like being blown off, and she's quick to drop someone who she feels has slighted her in any way. She doesn't tolerate any BS.

HOWEVER, my Aries friend was talking to a Cap some time back, and she was getting very irritated by his clingy actions too. Being an Aries, she blatantly told him "you're really annoying me and acting very clingy. if you don't stop I'm going to block you. I like you, but the more you act like a clinger, the more irritated I get and want you to go away". I'm definitely not saying to be that direct.....lol....she's a bit of a fireball, definitely fits her element. At that point she kind of wanted him gone, so it didn't matter how forward she was being anyways in her opinion. However, upon saying that he backed off and started acting normally, and she really liked him after that. They're not talking anymore...and that's due to other personal reasonings. They were not a good match in regards to their life goals, etc.

The Cap guy I experienced literally begged to hang out with me. He was practically screaming that he liked me, and he's my friend don't get me wrong, but he was waaayyyy too much for me. I have a Libra ascendant so I definitely wasn't as tough as my Aries friend in being direct with him. I just blatantly ignored him or would avoid the fact that he wanted to hang out. He was...idk. Something about it just set me off. He wanted to hang out like everyday and we were just friends, and it just started bothering me because I like time to myself to just chill and not be with other people. Even reading this I'm kind of like "whats wrong with me- that was a guy who really liked you", but I just have this complex where I like to be left alone and feel like I have my own life separate from any man.

I think you should be maybe less brash than my Aries friend (lol), but express that you want some time to yourself.

Wow Degenerate.
Thanks for taking the time to write that out. You outlining the different views/experiences with other signs is REALLY helpful. I agree and relate to your opinion on wanting time to yourself. I'm the same way. It's flattering he wants to be around, but I need space. I feel like he PUSHED his way in my life very quick. Too quick. Even my bed. Not in a sexual way, but he was like can I stay here? I don't have to sleep on the couch do i? earlier than I'd like. Now it's always a package deal, but I'd have liked to date longer and have nights alone sometimes. He also had me meet his family before I felt completely ready. And pushed his way into my trip to see my mom in a few weeks. I have mixed feelings of being flattered/frightened. I truly do need some space though. I feel so intertwined in HIS life already. Which is overwhelming. I just got out of a 2 year relationship with a taurus we lived together and I felt like I had nothing to myself. I didnt want to end up in a similar situation. Sigh

Lilith is in sag....lol great

Sooner or later there will be a problem with the law, others will sooner or later judge the behaviour of this person. That is why this position is not good for marriage either for Her or for Him since the opportunites are plentiful only after all connections, however the person may have been modest and alone in its youth."

this sounds suffocating. especially the part that he pushed for you to meet his family and he meeting your mom. that's too pushy and not respecting your comfort level. this would totally woken up my rebellious side and skip town without prior notice lol.

i think you should let him know to respect your comfort level. he is not in a relationship with himself
