    Probably... or they keep their sentiments hidden from public view. I dated a venus in Capricorn... I think the biggest thing I noticed was an attraction towards power figures, and he seemed to scoff at the "romantic" side of things, which was more of a defense mechanism for a certain shy insecurity of his own romantic feelings, now that I think about it. Ha. I would definately say a venus in capricorn probably shows someone who is prudent and naturally distrustful of showy lovey dovey types. Though this is all just my vague assumptions based on personal experience...

      Would you know if he had any aspects to Venus that would contribute to his feelings / affections / actions?

        I have this placement.

        While I don't think it's an exuberant and blindly passionate type of thing, I do think it reflects a measured and somewhat assessive approach toward love...kind of as if one is constanting processing to "be sure" about how and when to open and bloom and with who. Then it becomes a loyal,passionate and "responsible" player in the arena, and only with particular folks.

          V

          From my experience, I also believe this sign to quickly know whether or not the person in mind will or won't work. I agree with V that there is a constant processing in the beginning, before this sign moves in close. If things don't work well in that phase or there are huge red flags, this sign might be prone to slip away. Otherwise, I think this is a heart that grows deeper and deeper in Love with the other, appreciating them more and more and connecting with them more and more. Over years, not days or weeks, though at that level there are connetion being made as well.

          I think one prominent aspect to this placement are the words V chooses "Particular Folks." I cannot stress that enough. This isn't a sign that's attracted to just anyone and it takes a beautiful mind to keep this sign engaged. I'm not sure it would fare well with understimulation or another of under average intellegence. (Maybe that's the Sun Leo/Virgo in me though)

            yeah, ive this placement too, as well as lots of other sea-goat-y energy um, placements

            i must say, im particulary........ so resigned when it comes to love. as in, im in a permanent, id dare to say, state of dispair when it comes to it.

            i dont hold grudges against it, nor im angry, or anything. im just resigned.

            to the fact i take TOO MUCH TIME to even come anything remotely close to "falling in love", that , although i may find lots of people attractive, im not really attracted to any of them,

            that, most probably, ill be utmost unhappy in the romance area.

            all of this, not mattering ive a venus-jupiter trine.

            i guess ill just have to suck it up and learn to live with it, its all right.

      I have this placement in tropical. I always thought of the rejection of "showy" types as simply a rejection of the trite melodramatic gestures that plague romantic relationships. I see it more as a rejection of insincerity. Some people use the word "love" so much that it's lost any kind of significant meaning or weight.
      There are a lot of descriptions of how a Venus in Capricorn is supposed to be reserved, undemonstrative.
      I've also heard this thing about liking older, powerful partners. Can't speak for anyone else, but this sounds too funny. Maybe maturity would be a better word. And maturity is not age related.
      I get bored by the "game play" mentality of relationships. Personally, I find the little things endearing. Not words or gestures.
      Do you believe all the stereotypes and cliches of Venus in Capricorn, Mona? Or what's your experience with that.

      Peace, Bo

        Wow, Bodhi, you said so many things that hit home! I'm a Mars in Capricorn myself, and the part about maturity not being age-related rings so true to my ears - I've *always* had that exact same opinion. I've always been drawn to mature partners as well.

        As far as game-playing goes; I have to agree with this too. Games just gets me on edge. My walls come up and I pull away the second I get a hint that this might be the scenario. I just want something real, something enduring - no big pretty words, just pure and true emotions.

        I don't really know wether or not I believe all the stereotypes of Venus in Capricorn, as I've never really known one. But I've got my eyes at this man with Venus in Capricorn, so just out of curiosity, I asked those who knew better :)

        Bodhi,

        I have cap venus & I agree with what your saying. I think there is too many overgeneralizations out there. To say because I have a cap venus that I am undemonstrative and reserved is ignoring the rest of the planetary influences. Particulary the moon (emotions) & mars (sex-drive) =)

    I was raised by a Cap Venus.

    I love her dearly, but she did do some withholding. Now, this isn't the "romance" part, but deals with the love. I felt loved by her, but she was never demonstrative or giving about it. She'd say, "I love you" if I said it first.

    BUT, her heart wasn't hard. It was practical and she didn't always fall in love with the right men for her. In some ways, I feel like she was wronged by love and romance. Like many of you, she doesn't do the game-playing thing, looks for maturity, but after marrying an older man, I think she has only dated younger men. Also, she will let a guy go if she doesn't feel... well, any number of things. She doesn't play and once she makes up her mind, her mind is made up. She doesn't gamble with her heart nor is reckless with it, but she has never found... you know... the one who could make her blossom... and she is 65.

      Well, I don't really believe that it's ever too late for anything. And, Saturn is known for "blossoming" later rather than earlier in life.

      Do you know if there could be any negative aspects to her Cap Venus though? This could also have something to say.
      • Re: Venus in Capricorn

        Fri, August 17, 2007 - 12:56 AM
        The only negative aspect is her Mars which squares it in Aries.

        I don't believe it is either -- especially when she tells me she intends to live to 120!

    My Venus is in Capricorn and I've never been in a relationship that I didn't initiate. Also, I am not attracted to many people. One in a few thousand and looks really don't have a lot to do with the attraction factor. I don't think I would consider myself shy at all, I'm just not interested in a Love relationship with most Men that I meet.

              " They tend to be discriminating but once they find their prey, they will stalk stalk stalk until they get what they want."

              Lol, I couldn't help but to giggle when I read this! My boyfriends' sister has this placement. She's an Aquarius Sun. We just attended her wedding. She had her now husband had been together for 5 years prior They're in their early 20's now, so they were mere teenagers when they first met.

              At the wedding, during the speeches, it became sort of a point in itself how hard she had worked to get her hubby's attention. He had been pretty shy at first, and had proven to be quite difficult to get close to. But she had been as stubborn and enduring as anyone can possibly get, and she didn't quit until he was hers. It was actually kind of a moving story, because to see them together is so touching. You can tell they were made for each other, and to hear all of these situations that came about in their wedding, was pretty special.

                That describes me pretty well, but I am a Mars in Capricorn. There seems to be a lot of overlaps between mars/venus in the romantic area... so what are the differences exactly? Venus is about what a person would like to recieve, how they give love, not what they go after and strive for I thought... that is mars thing. I suppose it might depend on the sex of the person, or how much they've identified with the mars/venus (do they see it in themselves or are they looking for it in another person). But there should be a bit more distinction between the two.

    my sun, mercury, venus, saturn, uranus,and neptune are all in capricorn
    yah i kno thats alot of capricorn
    thank god for my libra moon and ascendant or im afraid id be serious all the time

    with my venus in capricorn i find myself being very distant and loner-like
    i have never admitted 2 someone that i liked them..except once (mistake)
    i am sure others see me as distant and cold when it comes 2 love, im sure of it
    i dont want flings,or pointless relationships..i hope 2 find someone who is as seriously in love with me as i am in love with them
    i suppose i will just wait until i find that person, or until that person finds me
    underneath it all i am a hopeless romantic.. and am really into all the gushy stuff , but not 2 gushy..more like titanic style lol
    you could say we are shy....id say its more that we are waiting for you 2 make the first move

      Goaty_Scorp; I'm a Cappy Mars, and I can totally identify with this. I hate being rushed as well. Quality time to make up my mind about the man in question is key for me. If he pushes me too hard or wants me to make a commitment before I'm ready, I'm out the door with no intention of returning

      woah, well, i must say ive the same capricorn placements you do! :D - except for the sun one, im an aquarius, apparently

      also, i see you were born in 90, swell, i was in 89 :]

      that let aside, all i can say is, darn! i wish *I* had a libra moon!

      asc+merc+ven+sat+ur+nep + scorp moon

      my god, im pretty much screwed up, i hate it

      also, i can seriously second this:

      "i dont want flings,or pointless relationships..i hope 2 find someone who is as seriously in love with me as i am in love with them"

      i agree completly, especially with the part about waiting to find the one, or being find by him/her

      after all, were the masters of time, so, it figures






      i still hate all this capricorn energy though. and myself

        hey louis thats kool that u were born in 89 :]
        lol libra moon is okay, but ur lucky 2 hav a scorpio moon , u must b a sex god lol jk :p
        why do u think ur screwed up? having so much capricorn isnt neccissarily a bad thing...it does have its benefits
        perserverance, tough skin, clear head lol
        its not all that bad
        its what you make of it that counts
        i was like u b4, i focused on the crappy parts of my chart (myself)
        but then i realized that this MAY be the way i naturally act/am but that dosent mean i cant change, learn, and grow
        im still learning 2 stop hating myself...and i have 2 say that if it werent for the capricorn part of me i dont think i would be where i am now..id still be stuck in that stupid shit hole....my capricorn side is always telling me 2 never give up..be patient with yourself...but never give up,
        i am so thankful for that
        about the relationship thing..wow..
        i didnt think there was anyone out there like me
        its hard 2 find people like that
        haha ya we r the masters of time
        ...i hope i dont have 2 wait forever tho

        all i can tell you is to look for the positive, and grab hold of it, and just remind yourself about the positive things about yourself...and if you can find nothing you like about yourself then change, but never forget who you are,, and that dosent mean that you are who you hated..but dont change so much that you lose yourself completely...if that makes sense

        thats the thing about capricorn, were pessimistic...but thats just another mountain we have 2 climb :]

          I don't have a Capricorn Venus, but a close conjunction with Saturn (in Leo). I'm too much open, and think I would really use some of Capricorn Venus and her would not say coldness & distance but doing things slowly & step by step. But this Saturn (I think like Capricorn) gives me better relationships with passing of time - mean older then I get I choose better partners, firstly older - now I'm in for younger - but certainly better. And I'm very determined when it comes to love. When I choose someone I'll get him (the last one took me 3 years) no matter what.

            My Venus is in Capricorn and I laughed through almost all of this thread. Everything that you all posted is so true!
            I have found that I have been very discriminating. If I so much as sense something not working I say, "I'm sorry, you're just about out of time..see ya!" and pull the lever on the trap door.
            But when engaging with a "serious" partner. I proceed with steady caution.Loyal to a tee, but s-l-o-w....

I want to mention the orb is under 3 degrees and venus in capricorn is on 8th house , 9th cusp... venus in capricorn is not bad aspected by any planet...How explanations do you have?

                Hello, I am new here.
                My partner has venus in capricorn. I really have to thank you guys. Now I know why he deosn't like the idea of a romantic relationship. He was the one who initiated the relationship, but he never shows anything in public except he often tells his friends that I like him more than he likes me. It is very strangte that he said he loves me only once and the next day and the day after he has just pretended that that he has never said that. We still see each other every Sat. but I really don't like his coldness on Sundays. He is usaully very passionate on Sat., but very cold on Sudays. He keeps saying that he wants close relationship, and romance is only 10% of his life. He thinks the couples who hold hands on the streets are silly cuz love makes these people vulnarible and stupid.
                When I talk with him on msn everyday or call him too often, he would act distanced. When I don't call him, he would be warmer. Man, this really drives me crazy. I show my feeing to him too much, and this make me feel bad because I am afraid that would drive him away.
                Am I being too pushy? Is that the "pushy" you cap venus mean?
                Tell me what I should do?
                Man, really wanna call him now......

                  Miki, if you don't mind me asking: when is he born?

                  I have to say that from reading your post, it does sound like he's not as into you as you are into him. I'm sorry, I know it's not what you want to hear. But from the fact that he denies that he said he loves you and that he's so cold on Sundays, that's what it sounds like. Of course, on the flipside, maybe there's clues in his chart that would suggest that he's generally afraid of commitment? I guess it's worth a deeper look :-) Still, I'd be careful of hoping for too much of a happy and healthy future with him.

                    Seconded. Just the way you wrote that sounds like you need to figure out for yourself if you want to be in a relationship with someone who makes you feel that way. There is nothing you can do that will make him any different, and understanding the reasons he's cold towards you will not make it any better for you, either... you should think about what YOU need in a relationship, and if he is unwilling to give it to you, it's time to move on.

    wow v nailed it and some of katrina's original statements too..

    i dont just fall for anyone. i can tell right away if someone is potential or not...which is why i dont just date random people
    i do like to be swept away by someone who has been around for awhile and suddenly the sun shines differently on them one day and we connect.
    im always finding myself feeling unsure of how things are going... right now i admit that i am going through that now and am afraid to be the forst one to say i love you.

    but dammit when i love i mean it.and i am devoted. and always hurt.

    i find i am often trying to remain friends with people i have dated, and usually stay friends for awhile, sometimes they eventually fade away but on good terms at least...
