Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Taurus Compatibility

In the natal astrological chart, Venus and Mars are the “go to” planets of love and relationship. More than almost any other signature in the chart, these planets (and their aspects and house placements), give clues as to how you like to “do love” (Venus) and “do sex” (Mars). They represent the internal feminine and masculine, giving valuable information about how you like to love and be loved (Venus) and what makes you passionate, lusty and turned on (Mars). In a woman’s chart, Venus can give indications as to how she relates to her own femininity and sense of herself as a woman. Mars in a woman’s chart tells how she expresses her masculine energy, and also indicates what she may project onto the men in her life. Mars in a woman’s chart also can describe what she is attracted to in a man. In a man’s chart, Mars describes what makes him feel “manly,” and gives clues as to how he personally expresses his own inner masculine energy. Venus in a man’s chart indicates the feminine qualities a man may project onto a woman, what he’s looking for in the women he relates to, and also describes his relationship with his own inner feminine side.

Venus in Capricorn and Mars in Taurus are like two happy gnomes, diligently working away together to create a stable and secure foundation for their life together. Their combined earthy nature finds them enjoying all the fruits of the material realm, including eating, shopping and sex. As a couple, they are grounded and practical, with an eye towards long-term goals and sustainability.

Venus in Capricorn is not the type to be swept off her feet by romantic gestures and impulsive actions. Instead, this Venus wants to know she can depend on her partner for real support, both financial and otherwise. Loyal and steadfast, Venus in Capricorn is looking for a long-term commitment rather than an occasional playmate. She may be shy and even a little gruff at first about expressing her love and affection in relationships, but over time and with patience, she will warm up. Venus in Capricorn knows how to patiently wait for love to grow and is willing to work to make a relationship succeed.

Mars in Taurus may move slowly towards the object of his affection, but once he does get going, he is hard to stop. He pursues with a steady and plodding motion, undeterred by minor setbacks or momentary glitches. Like the god Pan, the earthy intensity of Mars in Taurus can be sexy and just a little scary at the same time. This Mars loves to indulge in sensual pleasures, reveling in the joy of having a body.

When these two earth creatures come together, they can create a safe and comfortable respite for each other, one that allows them to move at their own pace. This pair’s only challenge is that their commonality can turn into stagnation and boredom. But if they work to keep things interesting, their partnership will stay rewarding over the long-term.
