Sun in Capricorn, Moon in Leo

Loyal, steady and hardworking, you are not shy about showing who you are. You take great responsibility for anything you undertake. On the one hand, you want to finish what you have begun, whatever it takes; on the other, you want your work to show what you are capable of. You are a tireless worker, and work sits at the center of your life. Positions of authority attract you, along with the chance to lead others. When you are in charge, you tend to give firm instructions and directives and to check carefully that they are carried out on time. You either praise someone warmly or criticize with real drama, and either way you do it vividly and on impulse, so a calmer word now and then can carry even more weight. Overall you come across as serious and somewhat reserved, yet at times you long to open up, to let others into your inner world and to show your feelings openly.

You have great stamina and concentrate well. Your decisions are always consistent and methodical. Before you decide, you weigh everything and think it over a thousand times. You love planning and would like your whole life to follow a clear sequence of steps. When it comes to carrying out your decisions, you move with impulse and assurance and expect others to be glad to help, and remembering to ask rather than assume can win you even more support. Your career is an important part of your life, and you climb steadily, slowly and surely, toward higher positions. Professionalism means a great deal to you, and you take pride in being an expert in your field. You tend to worry, sometimes with reason and sometimes without.

Rest in the usual sense does not appeal to you much, because you need to work, so you prefer your time off to have some link with work. You relax best when you receive plenty of attention and can show your generosity and kindness. Anything that touches you personally is a sensitive spot. At home you like to be the one in charge, and it can help to let others have their say too. You love having guests, cooking for others and throwing parties. Praise and attention matter a lot to you, and since flattery can slip past you unnoticed, it helps to value honest feedback as much as compliments. Although you are practical and know how to count your money, you sometimes cannot resist a grand gesture. Luxury attracts you, and you like your home to have plenty of it.

What you set out to do and what you need inside do not always pull in the same direction. Flexibility and give may not come easily, and allowing a little more of both can make life lighter.

In a man's chart, this combination gives determination, endurance, a love of planning, responsibility and solidity, and he is often drawn to a partner who is active, kind, generous and expressive. In a woman's chart, it can make adapting to others harder and puts a strong emphasis on expressing her feelings, and she tends to be attracted to someone who is faithful, devoted to his career and professional growth, consistent and reserved.
