Libra and Capricorn: Personality Traits
Libra and Capricorn are more different than they are alike, but they do have one astrological trait in common: they’re both cardinal signs, meaning they fall at the start of a season. Libra kicks off the fall season, while Capricorn marks the beginning of winter. This quality means that both Libra and Capricorn are natural leaders, dedicating to getting sh*t done. Oh, and both are a little self-centered.
That’s where the similarities end. As an air sign, Libra is all fun and flirty. As an earth sign, Capricorn is much more serious (unless you’re one of the lucky few who get to see them really let loose). Ruled by Saturn, Capricorn is all about discipline, while Libra-ruled Venus prioritizes pleasure.
Libra and Capricorn: Friendship Compatibility
A Libra and Capricorn friendship can go one of two ways. Either they’re so totally different that they never connect in the first place, or they strike up an adorable, odd couple-type connection that helps them both grow as individuals. Not all Libras and Capricorns will click with each other, but when they do, this can be a very rewarding friendship.

Libra and Capricorn: Sexual Compatibility
In astrology, the angle two signs make with each other is super important. And Libra and Capricorn form a 90-degree angle with each other, which is an aspect called a square. Squares typically indicate harsh, tense energy—the kind that means you might not get along. But there is one big exception, can that is in the bedroom. Tense square energy means SEXUAL TENSION, baby! And Libra and Capricorn have tons of it. In bed, their differences come together (heh) in all the best ways. Capricorn is happy to take the lead, and Libra is happy to let them. Capricorn’s need for structure meshes with Libra’s people-pleasing ways. They might argue outside it, but in bed, this is one hot pair.
Libra and Capricorn: Relationship Compatibility
I’m not gonna lie to you: A relationship between two signs that form a square aspect with each other is challenging by definition. Plenty of Libras and Caps will go on one or two dates, get on each other’s nerves, and part ways. But for the Libras and Caps who can approach their connection with curiosity and open-mindedness, a romance is very possible—and when it happens, it’s transformative for both of them. Aww!
Libra and Capricorn: Marriage Compatibility
If a Libra/Capricorn couple has made it to the point of marriage, it’s probably because they appreciate each other’s many differences. To strengthen their relationship, there are a few things they can do. Libra can work on communicating more directly rather than trying to drop hints when something’s wrong. Capricorn can work on tempering their criticism with praise and a reminder of how much they appreciate Libra. And both can make time to focus solely on each other and their relationship.
Libra and Capricorn: Compatibility Summary
Libra and Capricorn aren’t what I would call an expected match, like Libra and Gemini or Capricorn and Scorpio. However, if they approach their connection with curiosity, they can have a rewarding and transformative relationship.
