Be sensual and physically affectionate with him.

He may not be the first one to make a move, but he'll love your playfulness. Earth sign Capricorn may have a reputation of being more buttoned-up and conservative, but underneath it all, they’re actually more sexually-driven than you’d think, explains Thomas. Like Aries and Taurus, Capricorn’s symbolic animal (the sea goat) has horns, and “that horn symbolism ties back to their more primal and earthy energies," says Thomas.^{[16]
