You guys, they mirror you. When you want fun, they can provide it, flowery words and whatnot. They can show they are serious. They can keep up with an intelligent conversation. They literally lose themselves to become the person you wanted. Until you start laying structure and demanding for actual results, that's when things crumble. All the boys I attract are Libras. My SO is a libra. It's fun and also hell.
Now I know why I keep falling for a Libra even though I swore off them.

is this a secret? i don't know if we lose ourselves, we control our behaviour after all but yeah, all part of the libra "charm".

Must be a cardinal thing

And hell doesn't sound fun at all.
True. So for any cap reading, please don't get blinded by the charm, it gets old too fast too soon once the charm wears off and the home structure you want is not followed through to the core. As for me, I just live for the bits and moments of happiness despite the near constant misery. One thing is sure though, a Libra can love you even to the nastiest you can be. I don't know which of us will give up first, doubt it's me, cap tenacity and all that.

Like anglerfish lol. I can dictate how he should look or what career to take, he would do that just to please me. Afaik, libras put relationship above all else. Sometimes, I feel like a mother than a wife. Sometimes a commanding general even. There are good moments so it's not all bad stuff.

Don'tt bank on anything a man does in the beginning stages, simple as that. Don't let things go to your head. You're an earth sign, stay grounded.
Are you saying he's not motivated to take initiative in anything practical?

libra men are weird.
You're right. I'll give it 2 more years. There's just too much we don't agree on but there's a lot I learned from him as well. He's working on himself and I'm patiently waiting to see it through.

This goes for the Libra women too. Only difference is I haven't found one who can be as "deep" and as full of substance as me, a Cap.
I doubt any sign will ever fathom the depths of our minds. Libras are intelligent IMO, their thoughts are just too scattered, sometimes unrealistic or not useful in the day to day life. I've learned from him stuff that I would not learn on my own because of my love for routine, good food, good place, good music, etc. He basically introduces me to new kinds of experience. They are constantly in search for new knowledge but sometimes those new knowledge add to the clutter and not used.
Lol yeah I won't argue about that. I can embrace all the negatives: cold, distant, overbearing, controlling, stuck-up, boring, slow, dry, uptight, pessimist. What you have to understand is that we have life harder than other zodiacs. We have to work five times harder to get the same thing other zodiacs can just get in a snap of a finger. We have responsibilities on our shoulders that we cannot just bear to abandon. It's either little support system or high expectations on us. Maybe this goat is boring but this goat is a tough motherbutter you can lean on when you got all wasted because you lost self control.
Fun is fun but we don't do fun for fun's sake. Everything is a calculated risk. If the risk is higher than the outcome, it's not worth it. If we take the risk knowing the outcome is negative, it will not only hurt us but also the people who depended on us. It will topple and nullify all the hard work we put in through the years to get to where we are at the present. Show me that it's worth it then we can have fun.

Caps only like Libras if the libra provides them with something they want (ie money or status) or if the cap is too old and no one else stuck around. Trust.
This goes for everyone. If a cap don't like you for your personality but you have something they want, they'll act like they like you, till they get what they want, and then after the kindness goes away and they show their true self. Will still try and be friendly, if they can gain something, call you their friend, but act like it? Hell no.
I used to know a scorpio and thought he was a master manipulater, but cap has him beat by miles. Never experienced anything like it. 👀

Both caps and scorps play a slow game. Caps advantage is they can remain emotionally detached, I suppose you could argue scorps have slightly better natural institution.click to expand
Institution? You mean intuition?
😊
What can I say, I got played by the cap, and the scorpio too, but back with him I was young and naive and didn't understand anything.
Scorpio was manipulative, cap is calculating. Same same but different. But def. cap is more cold/detatched. I am scorpio/sag and for me that detatchment is kinda scary.
I did get my little get even with scorpio (in my own way, he probably didn't even notice), but with cap that is impossible. Which is annoying as hell.
Disclaimer: I do have female cap friends that I love 💓 I'm just still getting over that one got the best of me, and that is gonna take a long ass time and that's just how it is.

With caps they just seem that bit more organized. I can't think of a more organized sign and that includes Taurus and Virgos. No surprise they are one step ahead as they can spot small details much like Scorpio and virgo.
I see Scorpio as a puppet master. Would that make Capricorn the war general? Or is that Aries?
Cappy is one sign that intrigues me. I love their common sense and daddy/mummy type authority and that's from a rebellious aries.click to expand
Maybe I am really more sag than scorpio, 'cause I don't have that puppetmaster control others manioulate others thing at all. Like at all. Also because it's something I despise being done to myself, just let me be free. ... But come to think of it, the scorpio guy I used to know, who ws born smack in the middme of scorpio, also was always talking about freedom and blah blah blah, but still played a lot of people.
Caps... They are steady, but then suddenly they tell you a story, you never thought they'd be a part of or do or say something completely surprising. I like that. Def. more rational and money smart than me.
But that cap guy... He just says so many things, he doesn't mean, 'cause action never ever ever match up. I wish I understold why, but I never will, and this is just how he is with me, so I pull away as much as possible and interact if I have to.

From what I notice its true
Libra provides fun and social status for caps.. where caps usually have bland people in their life and libra come in with parties and connections that's not corporate.. not to say libra don't have corporate ties lol..
Look at Bernie Mac and Steve Harvey.. they were lowkey enemies all the way until Bernie died.
Steve was jealous of Bernie. Bernie was cooler, got better parts in movies. Ocean Eleven, etc.. As Steve had regular TV shows.
Now what's crazy is that Steve turns around and marry a libra lady that was his cousin ex
SCANDALOUS.. turns out she's taking him for everything while he's slowly being fired from all his shows...
Now I'm ranting but I just love how libras treat capricorn lol.
Libra wins every time.. well with caps at least
😝😝

This thread puts me in the zone because I have a lot to say about a situationship with a Libra man.
OP - Im so curious what are these changes you are looking for. If he gives you so much of himself, I'm curious what is it that you're missing.
So Most DXPers know my story with the Libra man and they think he's not into me or not good for me which is fair to say but they also don't know the good things we have because I don't post that. Anyways I'm not here to say how he feels or make excuses for the weird relationship we do have but just share my feeling and journey of being involved with a Libra man.
This man is my inspiration, aspiration, and motivation. He is the warm sun that fills my day and the sparkling stars that guide me on a night in May lolll You get the point 😛
The best way I can explain the dynamic between Cap and Libra is this:
Libra man is like a rubber band. They over express in certain moments that push the relationship forward but they then quickly retreat as if that did not happen (Gentlemen , why?).
Capricorn women are like those slinkies - We are slower to move forward but we get inspired by Libra and once we do move forward we stay there waiting for the next step but are confused why the Libra acts like the relationship didn't just move forward lol. May be they don't really mean it? But in my experience they do remember and do mean it... just not sure what else is going on. May be they haven't decided in totality of it all. Or they didn't mean us to take them as serious as we do? I can see that possibility as well.
Not sure if this applies to all Libras and Caps but it applies to us. I'm insecure about his commitment and he's insecure about my loyalty to him... not sure if that makes sense. I'll give an example, I'm always like, "ok that's great, but what's the next step for us?" And his insecurity is like, "I'm thinking if you can love me through this, then may be you can love me in the good days too." Or something like, "I'd stay faithful to you but I won't expect that from you." May be he's playing games or may be it's Maybelinne but I love this man and I'm willing to wait for some answers.... (within reason and context of course).
Our dominants are complimentary.
For example:
Me: Sag, Cap, Aqua
Him: Cap, Libra, Scorpio
More than him being a Libra, I actually don't like the Scorpio bit of being mistrusting and paranoid. But at the end of the day our ideals and goals come from our Sun signs and we may differ in that... I want structure and he may want unbridled expression.
Anyways, I learned a lot from him such as discretion and patience. Not to set timeline when it comes to relationships... you either flow or you move on.
Currently we are not talking because of our disagreement on an issue and I have him blocked on our main form of communication *i know i know it's immature but i just need some space* but he knows any time he calls I will always pick up. I'm not attached to any outcome so we'll see what the future holds. But I know how I feel and I'm willing to coddle his insecurities because his strengths give life to me.

a Cap wanting concrete progress results from a Libra
BAhaaha
Caps foster dependency on their paramours. they don't like independent women (unless said Cap has Aries moon or something like that). they like women who THINK they're independent, you ever wonder why they always go for Pisces or Libra? there you have it. when we all know the reality, that they belong with alpha Fire Sign women.
and there are no Cap women, that is a myth.

No matter how earthy or watery a Libra is or how airy or fiery a Cap is, the truth is that we are not compatible. He will never give you the emotional connection that you need.
I hope you'll get tired soon, otherwise you'll keep going in circle.
What do you mean, emotional connection? What do you think you're looking for, that a Libra isn't providing... exactly? Exclusivity/Commitment/Marriage? What?
Libra will never value the mind and the soul of a Cap and he will never understand our essence. He's looking at the emotions in a detached manner, lacks depth and cannot share the same emotions.

examples?

People don't let yourself be boxed. All is possible with love. Here are some Libra M and Cap Queen examples:
Sting & Trudie , married forever. When they got married he was much more attractive than her I think but she has aged really well and they look great now. They're so lovely.

That's all for now but you write your own story. For every problem you are a participating party so that means you're part of the problem too. Bottom line is that love prevails all if you make the efforts. 🙂
