It is traditionally held that Capricorn is dry and therefore not very sensual, but that is not quite the case. First, Capricorn always strives to reach his goal and to win the partner he wants. Second, dryness – is Capricorn's defensive reaction, and whoever has the patience for that shell to open will find a tender and sensitive person. All the same, it may turn out that dealings with him disappoint those used to speed and ease in intimate relations, that is, Gemini, Libra, Aquarius, Leo, Sagittarius and Aries; the other signs match Capricorn quite well, but it must be borne in mind that tender sensitivity has yet to be awakened in him, and that may take quite a long time. The Capricorn man makes love long and thoroughly. He must be admired, for although he usually has a high opinion of himself, inside he may be an insecure person who knows well how to conquer the heights of power but does not know that a woman might love him sincerely. That is why a marriage in which the woman depends on him suits him well - then he blossoms. The Capricorn woman is hard to seduce, but once «awakened» she can outdo the women of other signs of the Zodiac in lovemaking, since she becomes highly attuned to her partner's needs and grows younger, more open and more affectionate when she has a good affair that satisfies her high ambitions. She usually wants to enter a formal marriage with a man resembling her father, and she values lasting relationships.
