I have fallen badly for a capricorn man, still early days (few months) but I have never felt this way before!

I have been feeling a little lost and at times not knowing where we are heading despite us talking a lot about being together and wanting the same thing..... But I have begun to notice a patten in his behavior

Things seem to go well and we make progress, take a step forward in our relationship then suddenly he almost does the ignore/avoiding on me for usually around a week, in this time I only hear from him every few days and it's alway just a polite text to let me know he is still about or it's a sorry text to say sorry haven't been in contact

Then suddenly he appears back we have a chat, we both want the same and we take a step forward again!

Now you can imagine when this happens I think "what the hell is going on" but know I have come across online information about caoricorns and all the traits are him to a tee!

Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and how they dealt with it

Ive been married to a capricorn, but have also been in long term relationships with aries, cancer, pisces, scorpions and geminis.
Short answer is they were all twats.
It makes no difference what star sign they are, men are just large size toddlers.

I once went out with a capricorn. He wanted to know if I had a pension, if I'd opted out of serps, whether I had home insurance and what my long term career goals were. Could be fluke. I'm a capricorn too and I am far from the cold ambitious, mountain climbing goat as you can get.

Not sure if this man is using tactics or is abusive. Not enough information to go on. But whatever it is it certainly isn't written in the stars.

I'm a Capricorn.

I was getting really worried when I read:

However, I have had serious (ish) relationships with 3 Capricorn men and all 3 were nasty narcissistic bastards 

then the Jesus comment saved me, I'm in good company!

Let's not forget Jesus was a convicted criminal.

Jesus was probably Aries (and didn't believe in that rubbish)

Shit I'm really sorry if I've offended any Capricorns. I did say I thought it was a load of bollocks and put a grin on the end to signify that I was joking!

I know some lovely Capricorns. Just not those 3...

Jesus was a black man
No, Jesus was Batman
No, no, no, no, not at all

Going on the gospel of St Russell de Grant, Jesus is much more likely to have been a Cancerian, on the basis that he was very close to his mother, who was a saint and could do no wrong.

My as yet unborn baby will be either Capricorn or Aquarius. Should I be trying to hold it in or are Aquarians even more cunty?

NotNowBono · 23/11/2015 23:35

Aquarians would tell you they are the uncuntiest sign in the zodiac because they are the only ones who really care about global warming, the plight of the puffin, Fairtrade bananas, the interweb police, indigenous noseflute players releasing gamechanging opera albums, etc, but after an evening listening to them explain all that, while trying not to boak at their crystal 'deodorant' and yak-hair jumper, you might disagree. Jay Kay from Jamiroquai should, by rights, be an Aquarian. He isn't, sadly. He's a Capricorn. Make of that what you will.

I suggest you pop the oysterbaby out around Christmas. You may end up with a child who can sell his unwanted gifts on eBay and be in profit by New Year.

I'm married to a Capricorn. He's nothing like you describe.
Do you seriously believe his personality traits are down to the month he was born. I mean, seriously?
I'm losing faith in mankind.

Capricorn are difficult to deal with and its up to you whether you have patience to wait. They are an earthy sign and that's why their priority is job, family and few friends they can trust. They are extremely selective people and people need first to prove themselves to them in order for them to become a part of their life. They play hot and cold. Its something they do and you can't make them change unless they decide to do so. Don't chase them! It won't work. Don't bomb them with messages! They need their own space. Let them be who they are and focus on expanding yourself. Learn new things, read a new book etc. That is sexy and Capricorn are attracted to intelligent people. Be a different woman from others and he'll come back to you. Don't do same mistakes as other woman as you'll end up complaining about them. They plan in advance, they need time to make changes in their lives, get used to new things and they are traditionalists and they don'y like radical changes. If he plays hot and cold, let him. If he sees other girls at same time, let him. Let him do whatever he wants to. If he comes back after a week or two, be kind to him but don't need to invest in him. Let him know that you are an independent woman and you're busy in your life. That is sexy. They hate clingy women. He needs to have a desire to change things and you can't be supportive by showing him his frustration and anger. They often become friends first before they enter into a relationship. Its hard to be nice to people who you think that ignore you. I know that. Write a message that you are frustrated that he did this or that but don't send it. Delete it and change it into a positive message. He needs to see you as a unique woman, different from others. These guys have lots of attention from women, they are sexy and they can have a woman any time they want. Don't get jealous about them. If you don't want to put up yourself with his behaviour, leave and no need to complain. They often settle in later ages as they want to enjoy their life to the fullest. They are scared from commitment and they prefer to keep things casual. But don't make them take you for granted. Don't overload them with messages. Withdraw yourself and be patient. Sooner or later they will come back to you. If they don't, you'll know they were never right people for you. Sometimes you can meet right people in wrong time of their lives. Patience is the key dealing with them. They hate moaning woman. You get to be different.

He is clearly a Capricorn with his moon in Fuckwit, and I'm guessing with Arsehole rising.

But to answer your Q, yes I did once go out with a Capricorn. He was a bit goaty looking, can't really remember anything else.

I'm a Capricorn and so is my DH. Both of us are very nice.

I don't think you're problem with his star sign, it's down to the fact that he's a dick. LTB!
