Capricorn and Taurus approach sex at the same speed. As earth signs, Capricorn and Taurus lack the wild sexual passion and experimental energy you might see in a fiery sign, like Leo, Aries, or Sagittarius. Still, Capricorns and Tauruses are both very focused on satisfying their needs. ^{[4]

- Capricorn isn’t usually a “mushy” sign. Don’t be expecting a lot of affectionate pillow talk when all is said and done!
- Keep in mind that Taurus is more of a sensual , touchy-feely sign rather than a sexual one. They love the simple pleasure that comes from making love, but they definitely aren’t as sexual as other signs on the zodiac.

Capricorn and Taurus inspire each other to learn and grow more. Capricorn approaches life in an extremely practical, clear-cut way, and may not have as much emotional intelligence as the bull. Thankfully, Taurus is more than willing to teach them! Capricorns are still teachers in their own right, though, and often inspire Tauruses to learn more about the world around them. ^{[5]
