Capricorn loves with intention and builds relationships that last, and that same energy shows up in how they show up for the people they care about. Leo loves grandly and needs to feel adored in return. As friends, these styles either complement each other beautifully or create the kind of friction that, handled with care, actually deepens the bond.
