Online daters sometimes get a little bit of help with their searches from the horoscope. Different signs of the zodiac point to different characteristics about the people they are assigned to and this can be a good guide when it comes to choosing a date. It's not an exact science but daters are often surprised by how reliable the horoscope can be.
If your birthday lies on or between 22nd December and 19th January then Capricorn is your star sign. The symbol for Capricorn is the goat and it's immediately recognisable. Capricorn also has Saturn as its ruling planet.
The signs of the zodiac are split up into different elements and it's important to recognise that Capricorn is one of the earth signs. Earth signs usually signify character traits that lean towards reserve and practicality.
So what kind of traits can you expect a Capricornian to display? Well, they tend to be good people to know because they are so down-to-earth and competent. They like to organise their lives and they tend to do things with a measure of discipline, often taking responsibility for shared projects.
Due to these characteristics, Capricornians tend not to respond well to the more disorganised and irresponsible among us. Lateness, unreliability and flightiness don't really appeal to them all that much.
Capricornians can take things to the next level and become perfectionists. They can also take themselves a little too seriously unless they take a deep breath and let their good sense of humour take over.
In matters of love, Capricornians tend to be very loyal when they find a suitable partner and they're certainly good providers. They can be materialistic in their search for perfection and they may lapse into possessiveness, but they are committed and enthusiastic and often make good homes.
Which signs make good matches for Capricornians?
Opposites don't always attract when it comes to horoscope dating, but in this case emotional and sensitive Cancer often proves a good match for practical and committed Capricorn. In fact, the deeply emotional traits of the other water signs, Scorpio and Pisces, also provide the right sort of conditions for a good date with Capricorn.
Dating a Capricorn
If the man you are after is a Capricorn then you may have your work cut out at first, but this is only because they tend to display characteristics of ambition, refinement and prudence. Once you make an impression on them and you start enjoying one another's company you just may have that dependable long-term partner you've been seeking.
It's also hard to win the trust and admiration of a Capricorn woman. They can be very demanding, but this goes hand in hand with their reliability, wisdom and strength of character. Don't be surprised if you have to coax her out of her shell a little bit and pay her lots of sincere attention in order to strike up a connection. You could make an impression on her with something unexpected.
