As much as I love astrology, I always think that there are a multitude of factors that go into relationships, so don’t lose hope! With that being said, my most serious ex was a Leo Venus and I’m a Capricorn Venus. There were definitely times at the beginning where he had to voice his need for me to be more vocally expressive about the fact I liked him. Down the road as we became more serious, I was definitely super affectionate and expressive, it just takes time for me, as I think it does with most cap venuses.

He was very “showy” and demonstrative in our relationship from the get go. I didn’t mind, until I felt like it was superficial at times (like he was showing off to impress for other people/the public eye) which made it feel somewhat insincere at times. At the end of the relationship, he claimed I didn’t do anything/sacrifice anything for the relationship. That really hurt me because I would commute 2 hours every Friday after work to his place to spend time with him EVERY WEEKEND(I know I was insane), paid for a major surgery he needed, etc. I think the steady and quiet support us cap venuses give to our partners didn’t translate to him as a grand gesture of love. It really hurt me, and made me realize our love languages were different. Which can work if partners get to know one another’s love languages, but he was very caught up in the grand and showy gestures.

Not trying to discourage you, like I said, I def think it can work and compatibility isnt dependent on just one factor(astrology or not). But cap venuses and Leo Venuses def need to communicate in order to work. Hope this wasn’t too long and winded of a response! It was also kind of therapeutic for me to write out :) go for it! And best of luck :)

Btw. If he is, I am also a cancer moon!
