Key Phrases: Practical love, Ambitious attraction, Responsible, Traditional, Disciplined, Reserved romance, Materialistic desires, Long-term commitment, Professional charm

The Basics

Venus represents our style of expressing love, as well as our attitude towards money, things of value, and art.

Capricorn symbolizes ambition, responsibility, structure, tradition, and discipline.

With Venus in Capricorn, you approach love and relationships in a practical and goal-oriented manner. Casual, superficial relationships don't interest you at all; deep, genuine, lasting love is what you are after. 

You value stability, security, and reliability in your relationships and are attracted to partners who share these traits. You may prioritize practical considerations, such as financial stability and long-term compatibility, over emotional or romantic considerations.

You have a strong desire to protect yourself from being hurt, which may keep you from being as outgoing and forward in love matters as most others; taking your time to open up.  You're not the most romantic person, but you are responsible and disciplined, and willing to work hard to build and maintain a strong, stable relationship.

Public Displays of Affection (PDA), can make you cringe. You are not one for frivolous or superficial displays of affection, preferring instead to demonstrate your love through tangible acts of service or devotion - surprising your love with a surprising gift, making a favorite meal, or even just handling the details that your partner hates doing.

You are attracted to partners who are ambitious, professional, and goal-oriented. You respect those who are successful and self-made and may genuinely be drawn to those who are older or more established than you. You are also drawn to partners who share your traditional values and beliefs; ceremony and community matter to you.

One potential downside of your Venus in Capricorn is of your materialistic tendencies. You may place a high value on wealth, possessions, and status and may be drawn to partners who can provide these things. You may need to be mindful of becoming too focused on material success at the expense of emotional or spiritual fulfillment.

Dating a Venus in Capricorn:

While we are all more complex than a single sign placement, there's plenty to glean from the Venus position in what feeds our desires.

Perhaps above everything else, you value ambition and responsibility, so if your date can demonstrate their drive and work ethic, it will impress you.

Capricorn is traditional, structured, and disciplined, so on a date, you may prefer something that is more formal or established, such as a nice dinner at a high-end restaurant, attending a cultural event, or even a visit to a museum or historical site.

Being responsible and reliable is a cornerstone to your being, and those that uphold their promises means more to you than any silly little date.

Venus in Capricorn and Money:

You're very concerned with financial stability and material security. You tend to be conservative with your money, and you may be more focused on saving for the future rather than enjoying the present. You are disciplined and responsible when it comes to finances, and you may be quite successful in building wealth over time.

However, there is a danger of becoming too focused on material possessions and equating them with self-worth. You may struggle with feelings of insecurity if you don't have enough money or if you feel like you're not achieving enough financially.

Your preference for Art:

With Venus in Capricorn, you appreciate art that is timeless, classic, and has enduring value. You're drawn to pieces that are well-crafted and have a sense of tradition and history behind them. You may prefer art that is understated and elegant, rather than bold or flashy.

Artists like Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci, who are known for their technical skill and attention to detail, may appeal to you. You may also appreciate art that depicts landscapes or other natural scenes, as they can evoke a sense of calm and stability.
