Capricorn Venus, Aries Mars: Go getter

You are in charge of yourself and in competition with yourself. When you are fixed upon a goal, there is no one in the world who will be able to distract you. This means that you are not in the business of comparing yourself to other people either even when you overtake the experts in your field. You are completely focused on the things that you want and how you can get there independently of anyone else. In relationships, you are interested in long term partnerships that are secure enough to give you the independence that you need. You often feel that you do not have the patience to do the emotional caretaking that is expected of you. This does not mean that you are not patient but that you do not put up with complaints that do not lead to change.

Capricorn Venus, Taurus Mars: Specialist

You know your niche and you stick to it. It’s not that you do not take up space—it’s that you are only interested in claiming spaces over the select things that you feel that you have complete mastery over. It takes you years of dedication before you are ready to show anyone your talents. You move slowly but without self doubt, with a confidence in your ability to teach and improve relationships that puts other people at ease around you. It is important that you do not become a pseudo parent figure for anyone you date because doing so puts you into a position of familiar but unfair obligation. The way that you deal with anger is by alchemizing it into a plan that you can take with you into your future.

Capricorn Venus, Gemini Mars: Problem solver

You are curious about other people but can become frequently disappointed by them as well. This means that, sometimes, you are put into the position of being a problem solver for your community. While this may feel safe for you because, when you solve the problems of others you do not have to reveal unrefined parts of yourself, this does not always make you feel cared for because it reinforces the feeling that no one really knows you. When your relationship needs are not met, it is also possible that the problems that you become engaged in around you also are not solved. It takes courage to see yourself as belonging to a group enough to stir up its waters but integrating this into your identity will enable you to feel seen as a whole instead of as a series of parts.

Capricorn Venus, Cancer Mars: Middle child

It is very hard for you to take up emotional space and to do what can feel like forcing your will onto other people. This means that you might not speak up all of the time about the things that you need and you might feel that you play second fiddle next to someone who seems to be bolder and more outspoken than you are. If you have siblings then they are probably very influential to how you imagine yourself in your current relationships. You always see yourself as being in relation to other people and your days can quickly fill with all of the tasks that you are busy doing for those you are close to without you even being aware of it. You are not worried about being overlooked but it can be good for you to claim your own spotlight. Doing so will make it easier for you to assert yourself in your relationships, making it clearer to you which relationships accept the whole you.

Capricorn Venus, Leo Mars: The greatest

You prefer relationships that are simple because you need time for all of the big and fantastic things that you want to do. You want to mean something not just to one person but to a lot of people. This means that you might feel distant in one on one relationships that are unattached to your community spaces. You become easily exhausted when relationships require what feels like too much thought and you strive to not make things more complicated than they need to be. When your partners support you in de-escalating differences, you are loyal and consistent in the ways that you show up for people. It is not that you need so much attention—and you can often appear a bit muted or soft spoken in public—it’s just that you need people around you who reinforce the stability of your persona. You simply want to be a great guy who most people love to be around.

Capricorn Venus, Virgo Mars: Intellectual

Not only are you intelligent, your intelligence also shows up in a way that is quite obvious to anyone who meets you. You are always busy evaluating something from different angles and you often feel that you can project the different ways that a relationship can go before it even begins. Despite all of your meticulous planning and emotional preparation, however, you must still confront uncertainty. This is the hardest thing for you because you wish that you could predict and plan for anything that comes your way. However, uncertainty is also a beautiful thing that makes you fall in love with the mystery of every relationship and of the world. Your intellectual abilities shine best when they reflect and exchange all of your different perspectives with clarity, without prompts that grow from fear.

Capricorn Venus, Libra Mars: Clam shell

You are the kind of person who holds quiet control—a person who doesn’t need to talk for any more than it is necessary to be listened to. No one who knows you doubts your authority over the things that you care about. However, you do not care about all things. Rather, you care selectively about things that you have grown to care about in good company. You learn how to appreciate and like songs, books, or friends through the people that you love. Outside of the things or people that you care about, you might seem a bit detached or even shy. It takes a long time to really know you well but the journey towards understanding all of your layers is well worth it. You hang onto your long term friendships because it’s with your life long friends that you are able to express your silly sides.

Capricorn Venus, Scorpio Mars: Deity

You have a lot of control over how you want to be seen because you are able to fill many different roles and wear many different hats in different parts of your life. This is not dishonest but a practice in honesty. You have different needs that you do not expect every person you meet to meet in its entirety. Sometimes, you want to be babied and sometimes you want to be in charge. When meeting people, you always have a spiel that you use to convey your life story. You are proud of the things that you have endured and survived. Beware of any need to romanticize your struggles. Doing so is ultimately not going to help you accept the person you were when you faced harder times. Do not try to be everyone or to fill every need for lovers even if you are capable of it. There is no need for you to be every type of person in the pursuit of satisfying someone else’s needs.

Capricorn Venus, Sagittarius Mars: Role model

You are principled and sincere about the ways that you show up with your principles. Because you value consistency over showiness, your contributions to community is always valued and respected even if they are not applauded or praised all of the time. You matter more to a group than it seems, at first, you do. You are the person who everyone expects to show up even when this is not explicitly voiced. Your sense of humor makes it so that younger people are attracted to learning from you and you can function well as a role model to others. However, you do not enjoy having all of the responsibility even if you are able to handle those things well. You feel most secure when you are able to mess up without disappointing the expectations that are placed onto your shoulders.

Capricorn Venus, Capricorn Mars: Inheritance

You feel trapped by your inheritance, whether that inheritance is cultural or social or emotional. You have felt like you are unfairly put in the position of being someone else’s legacy and most of your concerns have to do with the fear of living up to or failing these expectations. You have made huge life changes because you wanted to prove that you don’t need anyone but yourself. However, huge changes do not solve the fear of being half accepted by those you depend upon. You are not the loudest person but you aim to impress with your deeds and with your integrity. These are the things that bring you long lasting support in the long run and you do not regret the relationships that you had to let go of in the slow process of your self-formation. Embracing failure will allow you to take the risks that you need to figure out what actually makes you happy.

Capricorn Venus, Aquarius Mars: Faceless

You don’t need anyone to point you out of a crowd and celebrate you with some kind of unwarranted public adoration. In fact, you might find spectacle for spectacle’s sake embarrassing. You are secure enough in yourself to find anonymity respectful. You dream of living in a house where no one knows where you are and of moving to a city where no one knows your name. This, you feel, will make you understand who the real you moves and feels like. You seem obedient on the outside but the younger you actually liked to cause a fair amount of trouble even if you were able to hide this well enough that your anti-authoritativeness does not dominate your personality. Your fantasy of breaking free from society is actually a need for recognizing your own need for freedom and independence that may not come as second nature in your close relationships.

Capricorn Venus, Pisces Mars: Public servant

For all of your contributions to your community, you are never arrogant and you never diminish other people. You serve the public in a general sense because you simply believe in the power and respect that good service offers. You do not see any kind of work as being beneath you and you are able to fill many roles without making too big of a fuss. You do have a tendency to disappear into the sidelines because purpose and mission are far more important to you than being individually recognized. You seem very pragmatic but you are actually much more mystical than the solutions that you offer for problems look. You do a good job of listening well to your environment and reacting based on what you see as happening in the future. This makes you something of a prophet, though you would never advertise yourself as one outwardly.
