Class and grit
Leo brings warmth, leadership and a love of doing things in style. Capricorn brings endurance, organization and a practical streak that asks what it’ll cost. Together they tend to succeed, less through luck than through charm and confidence applied every working day. You know what you want, and you’ve probably got a timeline for it.
That air of seriousness can make people hesitant to tease you, which is a pity, because underneath it there’s plenty of anxiety and a real wish to be valued. What you want most is to be thought well of by people whose opinion counts.
Hermit or host
You may go through phases. For months, work comes first and you’re unavailable. Then, once you feel secure enough, you throw yourself into a romance with real appetite and start being extravagant. You’re cautious about whom you let close, and once you’ve committed you tend to be very loyal, with a respect for tradition and doing things properly.
You can be paradoxical about what you want. You’d like someone devoted to your needs, and you’d also like someone impressive enough to be proud of, and those are rarely the same person on the same day. If you’re treated without quite the right respect, your dignity may flare up over surprisingly little. Status can also creep into your choices more than you’d admit.
Learning to be laughed at
The people who’ve been with this combination longest often say it softens with age, usually when success has quieted the worry and you’ve learned to find yourself funny. You needn’t wait. Let someone close to you tease you, and join in. Tell them about the worry too, since it’s a much more lovable thing about you than the résumé. And ask who you’d want beside you if the achievements went away. That’s a useful test for anyone you’re dating.
