A Little About Capricorn
Capricorns are amazing people. At best, they're practical, and at worst, they're highly demanding. Read on to find three of their best and three of their worst traits.
Their Best Traits
When you first meet a Capricorn, they will show you the best sides of themselves. Somehow they're all very smart people. They're highly practical individuals, and maybe it's the intelligence and practicality, but they're very reliable.
Smart
Capricorns are the people who you go to when you need help, need advice, and need to talk to the most qualified individual. They all seem to have the highest IQs in the room, manage to be the most educated, and just know what's best. What makes them so smart is they are always paying attention, always doing what makes the most sense, and always revising as necessary. They want to do things right, and they don't care how many tries it takes to make sure they do. They're not stingy with their expertise though. They're happy to teach, mentor, and give advice.

Practical
Some Zodiac Signs are all about having fun. It's not that Capricorns don't like to have fun. It's that they would rather focus on what they need to do first. Then they will make time for the fun stuff. Prioritizing what is necessary comes first. Getting work done comes first. Then what they want to do happens. Some people think this is boring, but this is necessary. Capricorns don't mind taking care of the necessary things all on their own so the people who they take care of can get some rest and relaxation. Just don't take advantage of that and do your fair share and your Capricorn will appreciate you.
Reliable
If a Capricorn says they will do something, they absolutely will. You can count on them to be the first ones to show up, stay the whole time, and they will be the last ones to leave. They will probably put the whole thing together and make sure everybody else gets there on time no matter what's going on. Their secret is, they know better than to commit to things they have no intention of following through with. Being a practical, smart individual, they know what they're capable of, and what they're comfortable with doing. They are also creatures of habit, so, once you get to know your Capricorn, you can rely on them to do things the way they have always done them.

Their Worst Traits
After reading all of that, you might think that Capricorns are fantastic. Not so fast, There are no more perfect than anyone else. They are ridiculously status conscious and can be downright harsh. They can also be extremely demanding of people.
Overly Status-Conscious
Some Zodiac Signs don't care what anybody thinks. Capricorn does and they are downright ridiculous about it sometimes. To be fair, everyone is always watching everybody else. Capricorns are typically in positions of authority or leadership, and they need people's cooperation to get things done. They know that if people don't respect them, it's going to be hard to get them to cooperate. Capricorns overthink it, though, and they freak out sometimes. They will keep up appearances for a stellar reputation, and they expect their families to do it too. If they fall madly in love with someone who is socially unacceptable, they will never commit to a relationship with them. This can make it very difficult for a Capricorn to find true love.
Harsh
That discerning taste that Capricorns have can make them harsh to the point of being unfair. They may keep their opinions to themselves, but they are as bad as Virgos when it comes to unfairly judging people. Capricorns take a very long time to allow a relationship with someone because when they fall, they fall hard. They may come across as completely serious people, but they love deeply even if they don't let on. Heartbreak will hurt them worse than it will hurt some other people, so they look as long and hard as possible for red flags. They may overreact, overjudge, and talk themselves out of relationships with perfectly good people.

Demanding
Capricorns have extremely high standards and some people find this unfair. They're equally as demanding of themselves as they are of other people, though. They can push themselves to the point of exhaustion and make themselves downright sick from overwork and over worrying. They have to measure up to their impossible expectations and ridiculously high standards. They expect the same thing out of their partners and their kids. Failure is not an option in a Capricorn's life. If you're someone who wants to slack off, and get by just barely, don't waste your time trying to settle down with a Capricorn. They're not having it. They take pleasure in a job well done and have high standards of excellence, So if you don't, keep looking for a partner elsewhere because things will not work out with Capricorn.
What it Takes to Make it Work
Capricorns are people who want to live the best life possible. They know you can't do that if they are a slacker, a slob, or if they don't care. They also need someone who's on the same page about life. They don't need someone with exactly all the same interests as them or who has all the same hobbies. They just need someone who's moving in the same direction they are. A lot of Capricorns will make it very clear from the beginning if they just want a casual relationship. If they're not focused on a long-term relationship with you, and you want a long-term relationship, just move on because you are not the one for them.

They want someone who they admire and respect, but someone who they also find attractive, someone who presents themselves well in their social group and who they can be proud of in their professional circle. Someone who they can take around their family and not be embarrassed will also get points from a Capricorn. Someone who wants the same standard of living as them is someone else they would consider for a long-term relationship. Most of all, Capricorns want people who will stick around in good times or bad. If you're just there to have fun, move along, because Capricorn is not going to waste their time with you.
Capricorn’s Best Matches
After reading all this, you might think that Capricorns are the ultimate partners for everyone. There are some Signs they do best with. Those Signs are Virgo, Cancer, and Pisces.
Virgo
Virgos and Capricorns are the ultimate partners for each other. They both take a long time to decide if they want to commit to someone, and they choose the partner who they feel is the most practical fit with their life. They will be devoted, stay with you long-term, and join you for good times as well as bad. They both prioritize work, but that's because work provides financial stability that gives you and your family the kind of life that you want. They will work just as hard on your relationship as they do their career, and they will be so thankful to have you by their side for their lives. They are perfect partners for each other.

Cancer
Sensitive Cancers want someone who they can trust, commit to, and love more than anyone else. Capricorns want the same thing. Both signs know how to keep each other's secrets, work together as a team, and keep their goals the center of their focus. Capricorn likes to take the lead, and Cancer is thankful to have someone who will do that. Cancers are highly nurturing people, and Capricorns need someone who can do that for them. Capricorns are so busy being responsible that they forget to rest sometimes, but Cancers give them a peaceful sanctuary to come home to. This is a match made in heaven.
Pisces
Pisces is the most emotionally empathic Sign, and can just tell what's on Capricorn's minds. Capricorns have a lot of stress, a lot to think about, and they need a partner who they can confide in. Very few people listen as well as Pisces. Pisces are also great at anticipating needs and reading between the lines to see what emotional needs are unspoken. They are so sensitive and understanding, they know just what to say to a stressed out Capricorn to soothe their worried minds. Pisces needs a partner who they can trust and count on, and Capricorn provides this. These two balance each other nicely for a lifetime of love.

Capricorn’s Worst Matches
It might sound like Capricorns are the perfect match for everyone, but they're not. There are some Zodiac Signs they struggle to have a successful relationship with. Three Zodiac Signs they have relationship difficulties with are Aquarius, Leo, and Gemini.
Aquarius
Aquarius is a freedom loving sign. That is always doing unusual things. It seems like every day, Aquarians invent something new and create whole new worlds. Capricorns find all of this outrageous and downright ridiculous. Aquarians are out there taking risks and being inventive, and Capricorns find these to be risks not worth taking. These two Signs can actually balance each other well if they will work on it. Aquarians can pull Capricorns out of their routines to take chances, and Capricorns can help keep Aquarians grounded in the event that they do go too far off on flights of fancy. If they truly love one another, they will, but it can be a struggle.
Leo
Leos are natural born leaders who have ideas about the best way to do things. Capricorns have their own ideas about the way that things should be. For a relationship to work out with these two, it's Capricorn who is going to have to take a step back. Leos are the queens or kings of their own worlds and will not be ruled over by anyone. However, they want a partner who they can dote on and love more than anyone else. That is exactly the type of attention and devotion that Capricorns want. If they can accept Leo's autonomy and need to lead, the two of them can have a loyal, devoted relationship together. That doesn't always happen though.

Gemini
Geminis are social butterflies who seem to never meet a stranger. They circle well with different types of people, move comfortably through all different crowds, and are always trying new things. Capricorns tend to be set in their ways. It can be a tug of war between these two if they try to pursue a relationship. Capricorns can bore Geminis nearly to death, and Gemini's need for variety, change, and new experiences can overwhelm Capricorns. This relationship presents a perfect opportunity to both Geminis and Capricorns. Gemini's can expose Capricorns to wonderful new things, and Capricorns can ground Geminis and get them to commit to things to their benefit. It’s worth a try if you are in love!
A Last Word
Some people fall madly in love with a Capricorn at first sight and other people literally cannot stand them from the get-go. They are truthful about what their goals in life are, and discerning enough to know what they want. To date them, you must effortlessly fit into their life. They are typically very important people in their communities and in their careers, and you have to fit with that too. They are not going to take you to work with them every day, but they want to take you to every dinner, out of town trip, or work function because when they're in love, they are really in love.
You're going to have to deal with the fact that they get stressed, overwhelmed, and exhausted sometimes. You're going to have to know how to get them to rest, and have fun as well as work. Love with a Capricorn can seem boring, but they will make sure that you are taken care of, they come home to you, and they include you in everything. Could anyone ask for more?
Capricorn is a practical, hardworking sign who needs their relationships to fit with the lives they build. They can be harsh and demanding, but that's just because they have high standards. Their standards for themselves are equally as high, and if they love you, they will make sure that they give you all the best that life has to offer. If you love a Capricorn, they will stick with you for life, always be true to you, and tell you everything. Lucky you.
