The Leo/Capricorn combination brings together two strong individuals who often do things very differently. Leo, a fire sign, is primarily concerned with the creative expression of herself. Capricorn, an earth sign, is most concerned with security and solid practical achievement. Both women enjoy responsibility and being in positions of leadership. The Leo woman's approach to leadership is concerned with the feeling of well-being and enjoying the sense of self-confidence; the Capricorn woman's approach to leadership is concerned with her desire to do the right thing and to feel secure in her world. The Leo woman is concerned with dependable structure and would just as soon keep her own personality behind the scenes. The Leo feels that the Capricorn is too motivated by duty and has a hard time enjoying herself; the Capricorn feels that the Leo is too egotistical and careless about practical details. Each, however, will recognize the strength of character of the other.
When problems arise between these two women it is usually a matter of style. To the Leo woman her Capricorn partner is overly serious and overly conscientious, while to the Capricorn the Leo is overly concerned with theatrics and being charismatic. The Capricorn woman feels that her Leo partner is too absorbed in gratifying her own ego rather than doing a good job, and the Leo woman resents her Capricorn partner's emphasis on duty and structure before all else. The Leo also may have a problem with the Capricorn's reserve in matters of love. She tends to interpret the Capricorn's cool manner as a lack of affection, and Leo needs and demands a lot of affection. She needs to realize that a Capricorn does not easily express the depth of her feelings verbally or in actions. The Capricorn tends to resist the Leo's emotional and physical demands for appreciation, and will also resent any attempt the Leo might make to control her.
In spite of these differences, these women will be able to count on each other once they have opened their hearts. The Leo woman is loyal and steadfast, and the Capricorn woman is serious about her commitments. Though their styles are different, these two women will give each other unreserved support.
Sexually, these two women may have to have patience with each other's differences. The Leo woman is passionate and ardent in her sexual expression; the Capricorn woman is very reserved in love even though she has profound feelings. The Leo will be quicker and more spontaneous in expressing sexual feelings and must appreciate that her Capricorn partner is slower to warm up to love encounters.
