"Capricorns are very meticulous. They value time, and seriousness in life. They don't like others wasting their efforts, much more not being appreciated. So, always value punctuality and make them feel they are valued all the time.

Also, never control your Capricorn. They want things to go their way, especially with decision making. They are strong, robust, and can be hard headed. It would be best to just support them all the way.

Another thing that Capricorns would never appreciate is to match their temperament or their mood swings. It is necessary to know how to forgive them, and know how to cool down their temper. You have to be mindful if they are at angry, because they can remember every word and thing you do. They can bring this back every time you have another heated argument."

My question is, how does one "cool down their temper"?

..just be around them...like a silent support if you are the type that cannot entertain/talk much.. they will value it more than you can imagine even if they look like a stone wall for days together.

Being light-hearted, not feeling burdened by their worries will help them.. because if they see their worrying is only causing you more worry, although it's how it is, they will feel more burden... because no one can remove worry from a Cap's mind :p ..we can make it forget.. they also realise what their worrying is like for people close to them, so seeing your sincere support will make them smile.. They're actually very simple to live with.

Caps have a fun side and they do enjoy laughter and company and affection as much as anyone. Deep down Cap can be insecure and finds self confidence through work, status and recognition. I'd be quiet and gentle and supporting with Cap. Let them know I'm interested in them and in their problems and no matter what, I'd love them just the same and let them feel that.

Thanks Rumi. In the past, I was the light-hearted support type. However, it doesn't seem to work when he's dealing with big issues, so I'm going for the silent support.

I have a hunch that only Caps know when they can get out of a mood. No amount of cajoling will really make a difference.

Thanks, good advice. I will very gently and subtly ask once. If he wants to talk, he'll talk. Otherwise, I'm going to do my own thing.

It's hard to describe. People usually have it or they don't.

If I'm moody & silent or let you know I'm moody so not right now, just leave me alone and let the mood pass.

If I'm sad, just your presence is good as RumiL mentioned.

Other times there have been people who their voice alone was enough to calm and relax me.

Try to empathize and put yourself in their shoes. Don't offer advice unless asked for it, just listen.
Thanks, this was helpful ^

Especially "Don't offer advice unless asked for it, just listen.", and "...just leave me alone and let the mood pass."

This is where I feel like a Scorpio and Virgo would excel with Caps. An impatient Sagittarius like myself finds it quite unnatural 😢

Welcome:-)

Hmm.. I get it, its like you cannot remove worry from Capricorn..

@bold -- its not true SMS, it appears so but it isn't so.. Their thinking goes like this no matter what or how you do in pacifying them, --- "yeah, but what about the problem at hand?" ?? ..they cannot be at peace until their worry is gone, and it only goes away when their issue is resolved - either in the practical sense or when they realise(after 14689963 years - they are last ones to give up) that there is nothing they cannot do anything about the issue...

If it's taxing on you, I'd say go about your life, be there as much as you can, but don't push yourself to the point where it drains you or makes your life also dull... As much as they love support, they love seeing their beloved being productive in their lives.. :-) it intact helps with their worry.. Are you guys close?? If you don't mind me asking, what's his issue/s?? Share only if you want :-)
