Why don't Leo women and cap men ever last?

I've never ran across any successful stories of Leo women and Cap Men. Why is this? Whyyyyy? I really liked this cap man but my circumstances wouldn't work. He's so charming and I can't get him off my mind! I told him I'll talk to him when I move but I'm scared tooooo, even though he told me too. I really liked him. I was trying to convince myself it would be just sex but I Iike him!! Im scared he won't respond when I move. What's the likely hood of him responding. P.S. some of you may recognize me from the fwb post

Because ultimately you both want different things. That's why.

Depends on the Cap in question. But generally speaking, I'd say stability and consistency.

Cap men are too controlling for Leo women

Without any perceived "drama" or conversation about it.

I don't want drama though. I asked him questions about his sexual history yanno because Ive only been active with one person. He also got mad at me when I told him he can do what he wants until we can do our thing he said, for me to chill out and asked why am I trying to convince him to go somewhere else. Idk why, he got so upset.

Because Leo needs attention and a lot of times when they feel slighted they can come off as being dramatic but really they just want what they are giving their partner and Caps are not very good about reassurance at least on the verbal sense.

Phew! I've read posts by some astrologers saying that Cap and Leo make a really good couple. But I've read only very few posts by Leos and fewer posts by Caps giving a thumbs up to the match! I honestly don't know why.

I'm kinda really choosy and he's one of the few men who could make my head turn to look at him. I thought it was the best thing. Both of us liked a lot of stuff about each other, but I guess, 1. Our ways are very different (we are outspoken and loud, also coming off as commanding and aggressive while they are really reserved and subtle, coming off as passive aggressive and attempting to control), 2. I believe that our paces are very different - Leos can go for something when they want it; pretty impulsive and impatient, Caps as far as I know take a hell lot of time to make a move - they're very patient, highly calculation, very guarded and slow for a Leo, I suppose.

My moms a Leo and we are quite the opposite. I don't need attention, I'm actually an introverted Leo. I hate people. Once I get to know or feel comfortable with someone allls good though. I do have a tendency to get jealous easy though. He does need reassurance quite a bit though. IMO. Do you guys know why he got upset when I told him that he can do him, until I can do him? Do you think he felt like I didn't want him? I do. I told him if it made him feel better I'd be kind of upset to find out. I'm moving in feb/march. So it'll be awhile until I contact him again, do you think I should treat it as a fresh slate? Maybe not be tooooo brutally honest?

My moms a Capricorn I meant.

Well, I know only two Capricorn men. One has always had a crush on me, but till the end he never found the guts to open up to me and tell me frankly that he liked me. I respect him a lot. He's a real gentlemen. Way too subtle and shy, but nice.

The other is this fellow, who opened up to tell me that he loved me, and then began making his brickwall more solid by the day. In this case, I wouldn't call him a 'real gentleman', as I've seen his really rude side, too (of course, I did return his rudeness in my own ways when I lost my patience or when he crossed the mark), but it's his subtle ways that I both love and find annoying.

In both cases, communication seems to be the no. 1 issue, apart from the major differences in personalities, of course.

I thought they would? Almost every Leo I know in person said Cap was their fave earth sign and Virgo was their least.

I really like this paring both on paper and in action.

Michelle and Barack Obama? Cap and Leo in love.

It sounds great on paper - the way those astrologers portray it, but in real life, do you think they'll last beyond the mutual attraction phase?

I am a Leo, who's just ended things with a Cap. It felt as though we were greatly different in our ways of communication and our paces, especially, and more or less the same in qualities that can break a relationship - like stubbornness, dominance/unwillingness to bend, rudeness, etc, in spite of the deep attraction we felt for each other!

I think at the level of astrological compatibility then maybe if the leo and cap had a compatible moon, mercury, venus or mars then this could provide a greater chance of the relationship lasting longer.

I've read from many leos that have said the communication between these two signs is very different so that is the possible reason for friction and an end in the attraction. It also depends on the cap and leo for the relationship to last (which can be said for any match) so if you find yourself clashing more than complimentary in terms of differences then that's where the problem is. Communication is a huge deal so if the communication is clear between the two then I think it lengthens the attraction and understanding.

Keeping the astrology aspect aside, how do I get him to tell me anything, how do I get him to open up? At times, he makes me wonder if he's a child or a woman from the stone age and I'm the man in the relationship, seriously! Am I supposed to get into his head and understand how he feels at the moment - whether he's shy and not knowing how to start a conversation, or if he's deeply in love and is afraid to admit it, or if he's too occupied with his work or if he simply likes to be alone!

I have to make assumptions all the time and go by the subtle clues he'd leave here and there! Have you any idea how to make him open up? Had such experiences?

I wish things were that simple! In his case I could never understand why he was so secretive with me. Was it because he loved me and was shy or pessimistic that it wouldn't work out, or did he not trust me at all? I used to feel that he didn't trust me, and I'd take that as an insult at times. Guess there's nothing that I can do from my side anymore!

I can share a success story with you.

My two friends from law college - Leo female & Cap male - are married to each other. It's been years...they got married in 2009 I believe. She's still in awe of him. She tells me she's more in love with him everyday.

After marriage she had to make a lot of sacrifices so he could follow his dreams. Theirs is a true love story...the kind you write about. 🙂

Good to know! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

They're inconjunct, for one.

Caps are solid & reliable... LEO is a fixed sign

and those are good qualities for us.

But unless they have water or fire placements,

or the LEO has some Cap placements... there

just isn't a whole lot of common ground. :/

We speak a different language.



OP ... where are your moons?

Cap = Control

Leo = Freedom

Good luck mixing that.. lol

Leo's are way more stable and consistent them flagrant ass virgos

Lol at you for making this comment

? Where did I mention Virgos in this post?

I believe Gemini? Not sure. I asked him why it made him mad when he thought I was trying to convince him to go to someone else. I asked him and he gave me no answer. ): I'm scared to even hit him up when I get my own place because he gets defensive easily

Pretty sure a Cap man wouldn't give a Leo woman all the attention she desires, but would prefer to focus on his goals. As soon as a Leo woman would bring it up as an issue, if the Cap man loved her, he would attempt to provide the attention she wants in only the most annoying of ways by the Leo's standard: by making it a part of his daily list of goals to check off. All the attention and affection provided would be summed up with, "Did that do it?" And when he finally thinks he accomplished this goal - when he finally checks it off as something that is completed and not to be worried about any longer - it's back to square one.

This being said, I know of a successful Cap man Leo woman marriage that has lasted for thirty years and going, mostly because he's a pastor and she's a faithful woman.

Agreed. We speak different languages and communication is key.
