Libra and Capricorn compatibility
Libra and Capricorn: a polished but tense match between two leaders.
This reading uses your Sun signs only: their elements, modes and the angle between them. Here's why.
Why: Libra is cardinal air and Capricorn is cardinal earth, 90° apart (a square), so both are natural leaders, but air leads with ideas and people while earth leads with plans and results.
Style and structure

Libra and Capricorn are both leaders: Libra through people and charm, Capricorn through work and structure. Traditional astrology says Saturn, Capricorn's ruler, is exalted in Libra, which is a neat clue to this pair: Libra brings fairness to Capricorn's rules, and Capricorn brings backbone to Libra's ideals.
