Capricorn is cardinal earth: ambition with a plan attached. It is the long game made into a personality — it will do the unglamorous version for years while everyone else chases the interesting version for months. The dry humour is the tell that there is far more going on than the composure suggests.
In love, Capricorn is not effusive and is extremely reliable, which is a trade some people never learn to appreciate. It demonstrates rather than declares. The risk is that it treats a relationship like another thing to be responsible for, and forgets that being cared for is not a failure of self-sufficiency.
