Capricorn, Saturn and the Ice King

Planets in Capricorn:

This especially applies to men with their Sun, Moon and/or Venus in Capricorn.

Capricorn is the natural ruler of the tenth 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 don’t cut it. As such, he seeks out relationships in which he sees long-term potential. Capricorns hate wasting money, wasting resources, and most importantly, wasting time. In fact, Cappy men will make sure you’re a solid bet before you get into a relationship, and this can take a while. Think of dating a Cappy like auditioning for a role in a play; he will “test” you in various ways to see if the two of you are right for each other by watching you, asking you questions, and seeing how you relate to him. Cappy men are patient and determined in everything they do, even when it comes to love. If he doesn’t think the two of you are the right match, he won’t have a problem getting out of the relationship. Women who “play the field” are not at all attractive to these men; they threaten Cappy’s sense of security.

Capricorns generally don’t like sugary emotional displays or public displays of affection. In fact, they appreciate discretion and respect those who respect their privacy. Cappy men also have a great fear of rejection, as well as a fear of being hurt. As such, they keep their hearts under a veil of coldness and aloofness. They can be shy to approach women and find it even more difficult to express their feelings unless they are 100% sure that the other person feels the same way. When a Cappy man discovers that things are really going well in their relationship, Saturn’s pessimism and fear of getting hurt can creep into his mind. As a result, he might distance himself, leaving you wondering what went wrong.

Capricorn men are attracted to women who are quiet, reserved, and classy. He is especially attracted to “corporate” types; ambitious, successful and hard-working women. Capricorn men are generally traditional, so what your family thinks of you is very important. You see, Capricorns are very concerned with how they “appear” to others, so they will choose a woman who makes them “look good” or is socially acceptable.

If you want to get a Capricorn man, the first thing to remember is to be patient; he needs to trust you before entering into a relationship with you and this can take time. Approaching too aggressively will push him away; Capricorns don’t like pressure. Show him your serious and ambitious side. Dress conservatively; Cappy men do not like women who dress too provocatively, as he feels that she will make him “look bad”. Show him that you are a responsible, hard-working and long-term thinking person.

Heavy investments in Saturn

Strong Saturn placements include Saturn in hard aspect (conjunct, square, opposition) to the Sun, Moon, Venus, or Ascendant/Descendant axis. This also applies to Saturn in the 7th and 5th houses.

People with strong Saturn placements in their natal charts share a fear of rejection and vulnerability, as do Capricorn people. People with these placements often see relationships as “work” and are therefore very careful when deciding whether or not to partner with someone. Fear prevents them from fully enjoying the joys of partnering as they are intensely afraid of expressing their feelings as this puts them at risk of getting hurt. Saturn people often lack confidence and therefore feel unworthy of love. Their philosophy of love is clouded by negativity and skepticism, which prevents them from finding happiness in love. Saturn individuals have their defenses up at all times, and find it very difficult to let people “in.” People with prominent Saturn may seem cold and insensitive to others, but this is simply a reflection of their inner loneliness and lack of self-love.

So what’s a girl to do if a guy has important Saturn positions in his chart? How can she get him to open up? The first thing to do is be PATIENT. She will take a while to open up, so she hangs in there! To calm her fear of rejection, try telling her how she feels first; If she first knows how you feel, it will be easier for her to express herself to you. Give her love and caress her ego; People with strong Saturn in their charts need love and affection just like everyone else, but they are too shy to make the first move. Giving him praise and appreciation will help build his self-confidence.
