Friendship
A respectful friendship based on a shared appreciation of quality and doing things properly.
Working together
A strong professional pairing. Capricorn plans and manages; Libra handles diplomacy and image. They’re often better colleagues than lovers.

The astrology behind this match
Square (three signs apart)
A square joins signs of the same modality but clashing elements. You both want to lead, hold firm or adapt in the same way, but you go about it differently. This creates tension and attraction at the same time, and it can push both partners to grow, as long as you respect each other.
Earth and air see the world differently: earth trusts what is practical and proven, air trusts ideas and conversation. Together you can turn good ideas into real results, if you value both.
Both signs are cardinal, so both like to start things and take the lead. Agree on who decides what, or you may compete for control.
