A Capricorn Man Ready to Take the Plunge

Dear Yael,

I was born on January 11, 1985 at 8:10am in Westlake Village, CA.  I am a 26 year-old Capricorn male who has avoided relationships in the past due to a fear of settling with someone who isn't perfect for me (most commonly referred to as commitment issues). More and more, I feel like I am missing out on life without someone to share all of life’s moments, and I'm moving more to the side of trying to find my special match sooner rather than later.  I am independent, ambitious, calculated, and love to make people laugh.  I desire someone who challenges me, is fully committed, expressive, independent, and creative. Where should I look for my perfect match?

Thanks Yael,

Confused Capricorn

Dear Confused Capricorn,
Prior to delving into your question, I would like to shed a little light on your chart and discuss why you have such a difficult time in the love arena.  I should also note that you hold the key to finding your perfect match since by the looks of it you are a very desirable and multi-faceted individual.  

Your Sun Capricorn-Moon Virgo combination indicates that you are critical, contemplative, analytical, and methodical.  While these attributes are positive in a work environment, in love they have a tendency of working against you.  You have a difficult time going with the flow, because you are too cautious in love.  You pay so much attention to detail that you get lost in the physical superficialities.  You also require a woman who is as equally intelligent and goodhearted as yourself.  Such an individual is surely hard to come by, but you are so determined to find your perfect match that you will not settle in life.  
Your chart also indicates that once you make up your mind regarding a woman, you are extremely loyal.  

Your 7th House in Leo indicates that you are attracted to dynamic, strong, flashy, youthful, creative, and dramatic women.

By the looks of it, you have equal parts earth and water in your chart. This indicates that you are both intuitive and logical.  Your Capricorn identity is certainly one of the most present in your chart.  Capricorn men are logical, regimented, family-oriented, and patient regarding the attainment of their goals.

Now to your question.  It would come as no surprise if you were to meet someone in your work environment, since you spend most of your time there.  You also need a woman who will balance and soften you, so an artistic type would be a plus.

Since you also have a reservation about you and are prone to long periods of isolation, I suggest getting involved in some community organizations, clubs, or affiliations since they will allow you more opportunity to come out of your shell.  Look on meetup.org or the like to get involved with like-minded people.  

Even though hard work will surely lead to success, don’t forget to create an equilibrium for yourself.  Partaking in certain activities and organizations will not only give you a healthy outlet, but will provide you multiple opportunities for meeting the perfect woman for you.

Yael
