It helps. I wouldn't say it is required though. Love him & treat him how you would want him to treat you.

We are sensitive as others have mentioned. Fire signs don't seem to care sometimes imo.
Yeah, this is the issue with us. He thinks I don't care, and I think he's too moody/petty. Seems like what he gets sensitive about is nothing I would think twice on.

For example, he said he was going to make Christmas dinner. On Christmas, we woke up late, so he cancelled it. Didn't reschedule when he would make it. That night, I told him my plans for the next day and mentioned I would go to the gym. He didn't say anything.

The next day, he makes no mention about Christmas dinner. I wake up and tell him I'm going to the gym, does he mind? (Thinking this is his cue to say anything). He said "It's ok. Come back with a meat thermometer". When I come back, he was making the dinner. I asked him how he's doing and he makes known that I shouldn't have went, and it was insensitive as he mentioned he wanted me to help prep dinner a few days ago.

I was upset that he didn't say anything at the time, and passive aggressively tells me he's kind of upset after the fact.

If that were me, I wouldn't have thought twice about saying "Ok go, but could you prep first? It'll take an hour or so", or "I don't mind, am planning on starting dinner at xyz." I would have said, ok, I'll be back at that time or helped then went.

To me, it's no big deal.

What happened here? Am I supposed to read his mind ๐Ÿ˜ข

Guilty

I dont know how to explain. I dont know if its a cap thing but i have been in similar kind of situations and expected same as the cap guy in the situation here.

A sensitive partner would understand. And they dont exist ๐Ÿ˜‰

Unfair may be

Sadly this sounds like a double fail. When he told you he wanted you to help prep a few days earlier- that was him talking to you about the situation. You either; a) forgot or, b) weren't paying attention (which isn't likely considering you mentioned that here). Neither of which is good. Most Cap's hate having to repeat themselves- it gets old very fast.

On his end, he should be paying enough attention to you to get this- that you need to be reminded. Also, he needs to work on confirming things as that would have easily avoided all this.

Sometimes I think my Cap wishes I was more perceptive about his feelings.

For me, that's very difficult. I have almost no earth or water, and prefer straight forward communication.

He has Merc in Cap and I have Merc in Sagittarius.

Do Caps need/want a partner who can almost sense their thoughts?
I would say Caps want an observant partner......

wow that would be virgo and Taurus. Both known for great observant skills. the trine.

We are deeply, DEEPLY sensitive beings. We want a women who is not clumsy with our feelings.


I'm intuitive, but how hard is it to at least tell us your feelings so we feel cared for too?


Hell yes! Co sign!

There in lies the mismatch. Our primary mode of expression is through action. You not paying attention- valuing our actions is as offensive as when we ignore your words.

We place little value on words because, like the wind, they often change.

I agree with champ, they want observant partner, and.. being intuitive is also better.. but there's a difference, don't assume too much, one must have the discretion - to not get carried away by the intuition..

TBH, they are basically looking for someone who is simple, sincere, respectful and caring - not too messy with emotions, one who will think for them 'both', and not their own self. Even if you are crazy or totally not intuitive, or dull like a brick, they will give you that goat smile - just be sincere, and think for both, not yourself which means you will not make it too messy with your emotions - that should do.. imo. They're most simple to be with... you can even be boring like hell with them and they won't mind...

The more you know him, the more you are around him, the more you close your mouth and LISTEN - the easier it will become.

I'm an Aries with a Capricorn, and he most definitely appreciates when I SEE him. You just made me think of one positive about having a Pisces moon.

You will get there. Capricorn will not hesitate to take your effort alone to heart. He will love you for that, I don't doubt.

Problem is that doesn't apply to the OP's story because the Cap's actions were changing with the wind.

I agree with you and that is why I wasn't referring to the OP's issue.

Question for op

Do u ever help him?

Why did he feel the need to ask for ur help?
His day job for over 20 years has been a pro Chef. He never lets, or encourages people to cook for him.

Tbh, he also complains a lot...about food, how someone cleans the kitchen, etc. and like the other poster said, sometimes I feel like I'm "bothering" him with questions. I read that Cap Mercury gets exasperated when people ask them questions THEY feel is obvious.

Point is, he might not realize that he doesn't encourage other people to participate, and then gets down on them for it. I see SO many people end up following him, and he feels the burden of it. It's kind of a vicious cycle imo.

Your Goat is a rare one imho. He confuses the fuck out of me (way too damn contradictory)-- based on what you say.

That being said, if you are annoying a Cap, most of us don't have a problem telling you that. This is why I don't get the whole premise of this post. Intuition often involves a lot of assumption. I would always rather someone ask me rather than assume.

Okay so I want help, without asking, and to my standards. If it isn't to my standards then yes it bothers me and I'd rather do it myself.

Have you tried expressing this to him? How you can't read his mind and don't know when he wants help or doesn't and how you don't want to be a bother to him? & if something reschedules or changes to keep you posted on if he still wants help & update you on when he plans on doing it.

This behavior sounds familiar honestly.

I kind of see why its confusing.

I understand and I'm very observant when it comes to him, otherwise I wouldn't be here asking questions lol I want to be able to read him better to be a better person for him. But if I am making an effort to be more expressive with him ( aquas aren't too affectionate) why can't the cap make an effort to show more as well? is not just one side.

you are justifying the lack of verbal communication.

Actually, I am not justifying his behavior at all. In a prior response, I stated clearly where I believe he is in the wrong. Further, you are seeking to understand his needs/ behavior- the current post was in regard to his (or a Cappy's in general) needs. The discussion of his faults (in relation to his needs) is irrelevant and (as mentioned) already discussed.

Thanks Rumi, I think you get Caps quite well!

I think you hit the nail on the head with re-framing to the "both" perspective. Will try that.

Yes, I'm willing to compromise,if he is willing to do the above. I did express these things to him, and he's been trying, as have I. It's not easy, but we're still trying...

I think Virgo would end up serving Cap a lot, which Cap would love. It would be OK as long as they shared the same vision. Taurus might work because they are so calm, they would be able to withstand Cap's negativity without getting sucked in.


But that sucks for Virgo. :/ Serving in that sense would seem... Sigh for the Virgo on the inside. The fact that the cap would LOVE Virgo BC they SERVE the cap... :/

That's why I really like Taurus/cap together though ^-^ There isn't that same master/servant dynamic that would happen in cap and Virgo.

I actually know of a cap and sag who are friends-ish. He's the sag though and she's the cap. He makes her laugh, but she says he can be a little unstable.

They would make a cute couple in my opinion though.

I think Caps have very high standards and expect a lot from people.

Many people are simply attracted to confidence like that and will go with that flow, until something happens.

However, if I am to follow someone and adjust to their vision, they better explain their SMART goals. I don't blindly go along, and will question him. He says I "interrogate" him. I think he's just not used to being questioned! ๐Ÿ™‚
