Leo and Capricorn

Capricorn values what's earned, Leo values what's rewarded with applause — so for a long time they measure which of them is more serious. To Capricorn, Leo's extravagance looks like a waste; to Leo, Capricorn's restraint looks like coldness; neither is true, but both sting. Once Capricorn says out loud that he's proud, Leo gives back a warmth he rarely gives anyone. This match needs praise to be spoken, not assumed.

The harmony of two signs is the beginning of the story, not its end — the whole chart, not just the Sun, tells how two people truly meet.
