This pairing brings together two formidable individuals that share a quest for power and achieved status. First dates are a chance to show off to each other, with both drawn to classy places and top shelf spirits. Capricorn is far more reserved, and scrutinizes Leo with cool eyes, trying to suss out the substance in the flash. Leo brings a sense of play to romance, and subtle sparks fly when the Goat responds with dry humor. They each sense something solid there, a possibility to build an enduring bond.
Sometimes their attraction is fueled by admiration for the way they both throw their weight around. At their snobbiest, their pursuit of quality means everything and everyone falls short. If their demanding personas start to pick apart the other, it kicks off a lifetime of faultfinding. They're also driven to work-a-holism, a couple that may only meet up in the evening hours, sharing the ups and downs of successful careers over take-out. Leo gives enthusiastic support to Cap's all-or-nothing goals, understanding that need for accomplishment. And the Goat is a sober advisor for the Lion, the one with realistic ideas for getting ahead.
It's hard to win over the Goat, and Leo must eshew instant gratification for a brass ring based on serious credentials. The Lion finds its courage in the smiling, admiring eyes of others, and the flames could flicker out in the Goat's wintry chill. But the Lion with confidence to spare finds winning that approval a worthy ambition. They seek praise from others in the meantime, thinking of their Goat as a touchstone for big picture feedback.
At home, Leo's lavish tastes and big spending is at odds with the Capricorn desire to slowly build up an enduring structure. The Goat grows alarmed at showy purchases that have no known practical value. But slowly the Lion convinces the Goat that it's okay to revel in life's luxuries. Also, Capricorn ages in reverse, and meets up with youthful Leo over time, growing more willing to set down their workload for ease, comfort and play. When strong wills are put in the service of their ambitions, not turned against the other, this is a power duo with many mountains to climb, and vistas to enjoy once there.
