Scorpio Sun, Capricorn Moon

You’ve got a ten-year plan, and you’re ahead of it. You’ve also got a silent kind of charisma, and people keep trying to find out what’s behind it.

Long-range, and very controlled

Both signs bring ambition and willpower, and this may be one of the more formidable mixes of all. You tend to set long-range goals and actually hit them. You’ve got considerable self-control, and not much patience for people who don’t. Many people with this combination end up working for themselves or running something, since you read situations strategically and you can manage people well.

A Capricorn Moon calms the storm a good deal. Your reactions tend to be logical and practical, so people might see you as cool or a little aloof, and you may be less moved in the moment than other Scorpios. But the feelings are still there.

Loyal, and slow to trust

People are drawn to your quiet, hard-to-get magnetism. Once you’ve chosen someone, you’re very devoted and dependable, and you can carry a heavy load of family responsibility without any fuss. You may have had some hard emotional experiences when young, and you may have decided back then to be careful. That caution tends to linger as suspicion, even with those who’ve given you no reason.

You take yourself seriously, and that goes for your physical relationship too. If your needs and your partner’s don’t match, it can hurt you more than you’d show. You might turn bitter and withdraw, and say nothing about it at all, so your partner has no idea what’s gone wrong. Feelings stored in the dark like that tend to ferment.

Letting some air in

Treat honest talk as a part of your long-term plan for the relationship, as you’d treat any other asset that needs regular maintenance. Tell your partner what you want, and when something’s bothering you, tell them within the week. If difficult early years still shape how you trust, it might be worth working through that with someone qualified. You’ve got the discipline for it. Try loosening your judgment of people who live less tidily, too. Some of them are enjoying themselves.
