Capricorn and strong Saturn placements can approach love with caution, patience, and a strong need for security. They may take longer to trust, open up, and commit, often because they fear rejection or getting hurt. Here’s what astrology can reveal about their approach to relationships.

Planets in Capricorn:
This applies especially to people with their Sun, Moon, and/or Venus in Capricorn.
Capricorn is the natural ruler of the 10th house of Career. Saturn rules the sign of Capricorn.
As an earth sign, Capricorn’s main concerns in a relationship are stability, security, and commitment. Casual, short-term flings just won’t do. As such, they look for relationships in which they sees long-term potential. Capricorns hate waste- wasting money, wasting resources, and, most importantly, wasting time. Indeed, Cappies will ensure you are a solid bet before entering a relationship, and this can take a while.
Think of dating a Cappy like auditioning for a role in a play; they will “test” you in various ways to see if you two are suitable for one another by observing you, asking you questions, and seeing how you relate to them. Cappies are patient and determined in everything they do, even when it comes to love. If they don’t think you two are the right match, they will have no problem exiting the relationship. Women who “play the field” are not attractive to them at all; they threaten Cappy’s sense of security.
Capricorn is not usually fond of soppy emotional displays or public displays of affection. In fact, they appreciate discretion and respect those who respect their privacy. Cappies also have a huge fear of rejection, as well as a fear of getting hurt.
As such, they guard their hearts under a veil of coldness and aloofness. They may be shy to approach, and have an even harder time expressing their feelings unless they are 100% sure the other person feels the same way. When a Cappy finds that things are actually going well in their relationship, Saturnian pessimism and the fear of getting hurt may enter his mind. As a result, they might distance himself, leaving you wondering what went wrong.
Capricorns are attracted to poised, reserved, classy people. They are especially attracted to “corporate” types; people who are ambitious, successful, and hard-working. Capricorns are generally traditional, so what their family thinks of you is very important. You see, Capricorns are very concerned with how they “appear” to others, so they will choose a partner who makes them“look good,” or is socially acceptable.
If you want to land a Capricorn , the first thing to remember is to be patient; they needs to trust you before they enter a relationship with you and this can take time. Coming on too aggressively will push them away; Capricorns dislike pressure. Show them your serious, ambitious side. Show them you are a responsible, hard-working individual who thinks long-term.
Strong Saturn Placements
Strong Saturn placements include Saturn in hard aspect (conjunction, square, opposition) to the Sun, Moon, Venus or Ascendant/Descendant axis. This also applies to Saturn in the 7th and 5th houses.
Individuals with strong Saturn placements in their natal charts share a fear of rejection and vulnerability, much like Capricorn individuals. People with these placements often see relationships as “work”, and are therefore very careful when deciding whether or not to partner up with someone. Fear keeps them from fully enjoying the joys of partnerships, as they have an intense fear of expressing their feelings, as this puts them at risk of getting hurt. Saturnian folk often lack confidence, and thus feel they are not worthy of love.
Their love philosophy is clouded with negativity and skepticism, which prevents them from finding happiness in love. Saturnian individuals have their defenses up at all times, and have a very difficult time letting people “in”. People with prominent Saturn may appear cold and unfeeling to others, but this is simply a reflection of their inner loneliness and their lack of self-love.
They might take a while to open up, so hang in there! To quell ther fear of rejection, try telling them your feelings first; if they knows how you feel first, they’ll have an easier time expressing themselves to you.
