If you’re wondering about the signs a Capricorn man is not over you, you’re not alone. Capricorn men are known for their reserved and composed nature, but that doesn’t mean they move on easily. In fact, when a Capricorn man still has feelings for you, he might not say it outright, but his actions will tell a different story.
One of my clients recently told me, “My Capricorn man blocked me after our breakup, but I can’t shake the feeling that he still cares. If a Capricorn wants you back, would he act like this?” This is a common dilemma with a Capricorn ex; he can be emotionally distant on the surface, yet deeply attached underneath.
So, will a Capricorn man forget you? Not if you were someone truly important to him. Even if he’s cut off communication or pulled back, that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s over you.
Sometimes, a Capricorn man blocks you not because he’s done, but because he’s trying to regain control over his emotions. And if you’ve ever wondered what happens when you block a Capricorn man, you might be surprised at how much it affects him.
If you’re confused about whether your Capricorn ex still has feelings for you, keep reading. Here are 7 undeniable signs a Capricorn man is not over you and what they truly mean…
But First, Do Capricorn Men Struggle to Move On After a Breakup?
Capricorn men are known for their self-control, practicality, and emotional discipline. On the surface, they may seem like they move on quickly, but don’t be fooled… when a Capricorn man invests in a relationship, it’s never casual. Even if he initiates the breakup, he won’t easily forget the emotional foundation you built together.
Unlike other zodiac signs that might jump into a rebound relationship or openly express heartbreak, a Capricorn ex will bury his emotions under work, responsibilities, or personal achievements. He might act indifferent, but that doesn’t mean he’s completely over you.
Capricorn men are deeply attached to the effort and time they put into something—including relationships. If you shared meaningful moments, built a future together, or even had long-term plans, he will have a hard time letting go of that investment.
So, will a Capricorn man forget you? Not if you had a genuine connection. Even if he’s the one who walked away, a part of him still replays what you had together. The real question is: Is he still emotionally attached, or has he convinced himself that moving on is the only option?
Let’s look at the clear signs that a Capricorn man is not over you…
7 Signs a Capricorn Man Is Not Over You…
When a Capricorn man hasn’t truly moved on, his actions (or even his silence) will reveal the truth. Even if he’s blocked you or is acting distant, his behavior will hold clues that he still has feelings for you.
Here are the biggest signs a Capricorn man is not over you…
1. He Blocks You, Then Unblocks You
One of the biggest mind games a Capricorn man plays when he’s not over you? Blocking you, then unblocking you. At first, he may block you because he’s feeling overwhelmed, hurt, or trying to regain control over his emotions.
Capricorn men hate feeling vulnerable, so their instinct is to shut down and create distance. But here’s the catch—if he later unblocks you, it’s a major sign he’s still thinking about you.
He might unblock you just to check on you, to see if you’ll reach out, or because he’s second-guessing his decision. If a Capricorn wants you back, he won’t be able to resist keeping tabs on you—even if it’s subtle.
So, if your Capricorn ex blocked you but later unblocks you, he’s not over you. He’s testing the waters, wondering if there’s still a connection between you two.

2. He Keeps Watching Your Social Media
Capricorns aren’t the type to stalk openly, but if he’s still checking your posts, liking your pictures, or viewing your stories, that’s a strong indicator he hasn’t moved on.
Even if he doesn’t interact, pay attention to whether he watches everything you post. Capricorn men don’t waste time on people they don’t care about—so if he’s keeping an eye on you, he’s still emotionally invested.
If you suspect he’s watching but he’s not engaging, it’s likely because he’s trying to figure out how you feel without putting himself out there. He might also be waiting to see if you’re moving on before he makes a move.
3. He Tries to Show You He’s Doing “Better” Without You
Capricorn men are competitive, even in love. If he’s suddenly posting about his career success, gym progress, or how “amazing” life is, there’s a good chance he’s doing it to get your attention.
This is especially true if he wasn’t the type to post much before the breakup. If he’s now making an effort to show off his achievements, new hobbies, or social life, he’s trying to prove a point to himself and to you.
Deep down, he wants you to notice. He might be hoping you’ll reach out, feel jealous, or even regret losing him. If you see this pattern, it’s a sign that he still cares, but he’s using his success as a way to cope with missing you.
4. He Brings Up Old Memories
A Capricorn man who’s truly over you won’t dwell on the past. If he’s still reminiscing about old memories, it means he’s emotionally stuck on what you had together.
Maybe he casually mentions the time you went on that unforgettable trip together. Or perhaps he jokes about an inside joke only the two of you shared. If he’s bringing up those moments, he’s not just reminiscing but trying to keep the emotional connection alive.
Even if he pretends he’s “just remembering,” don’t be fooled. Capricorn men don’t waste time on things they don’t care about. If your Capricorn ex keeps revisiting the past, he’s likely feeling nostalgic, and possibly regretting losing you.

5. He Checks In “Just to See How You’re Doing”
Capricorns aren’t the type to reach out for no reason. If he suddenly texts you to “see how you’re doing” or “check in,” it’s not just politeness, it’s a sign that he still cares.
He might frame it as casual curiosity, but in reality, he wants to know if you’ve moved on, if you still miss him, or if there’s any chance to reconnect. Capricorn men don’t invest time in people they’ve completely detached from, so if he’s initiating contact, he hasn’t let go yet.
Pay attention to how he texts: Does he ask personal questions? Is he fishing for information about your love life? Does he take the conversation beyond surface-level small talk? If so, he’s still emotionally invested, and there’s a chance he’s considering coming back.
6. He Gets Jealous If You Move On
Capricorn men don’t show jealousy in obvious ways, but if he suddenly becomes cold, distant, or even snarky when he finds out you’re dating someone new, it’s a telltale sign he’s not over you.
A Capricorn man values loyalty, so seeing you with someone else can trigger a strong emotional response, especially if he still has feelings for you.
Even worse? If he finds out you’ve blocked him, he might react unexpectedly. Capricorn men hate losing control, and if he thought he could keep tabs on you but suddenly can’t, it might push him to act.
He may try to re-add you on social media, start posting more often to get your attention, or suddenly reach out with a casual excuse. If he gets triggered by you moving on, it’s because he’s not as “over it” as he pretends to be…
7. He Still Tries to “Fix” Things
Even if he ended things, a Capricorn man who isn’t over you will still try to fix what went wrong. He might offer advice on things in your life, apologize for things from the past, try to justify why the relationship ended, or subtly test the waters to see if you’d give him another chance..
Capricorns don’t like unfinished business, so if he’s still trying to “resolve” things with you, it’s likely because he still feels connected to you. But here’s the key…
If he’s showing genuine effort, he may be considering coming back. If he’s just reaching out for closure, he might be struggling with guilt but not necessarily looking to rekindle things. Either way, if your Capricorn man is still trying to “fix” things, he’s far from over you.
What to Do If a Capricorn Wants You Back?
So, you’ve noticed the signs—a Capricorn man who isn’t over you will subtly (or not so subtly) make his way back into your life. But now comes the big question: What should you do if a Capricorn man wants you back?
Before jumping back into anything, take a step back and evaluate the situation. A Capricorn man doesn’t make impulsive decisions, so if he’s reaching out, he has likely thought it through.
However, that doesn’t mean you should rush to welcome him back with open arms. Instead, let him prove he’s serious. Capricorn men respect effort and persistence, so if he genuinely wants you back, he will need to show you that he’s willing to work for it.
An honest conversation is essential. Ask him (and yourself) why things ended before and what has changed since then. If he avoids accountability or brushes off past issues, he may not be ready for a real commitment.
A Capricorn man may regret losing you, but that doesn’t automatically mean he’s prepared to do what it takes to build a better relationship this time around. His practical and goal-oriented nature means he values long-term stability, but that stability has to align with your needs as well.
It’s easy to get caught up in nostalgia, but before agreeing to anything, consider whether you truly want him back or if you just miss the familiarity. If he blocked you or distanced himself before, set clear boundaries moving forward.
Capricorn men respect strong, independent women, and showing him that you won’t settle for less than you deserve will make you even more attractive in his eyes. If you see genuine effort and consistency, then maybe it’s worth giving things another chance—but only if it truly benefits you in the long run.
FAQs On Capricorn Exes…
Breakup with a Capricorn man can be confusing, especially if he sends mixed signals or unexpectedly reappears in your life. Here are some of the most common questions about Capricorn exes and what you can expect when dealing with one…
Why did my Capricorn ex block me?
If a Capricorn man blocked you, it’s usually because he feels hurt, betrayed, or overwhelmed. He isn’t the type to act impulsively, so blocking you is often a calculated move. He may need space to process his emotions or distance himself from a situation that no longer serves him. If you want to reconnect, give him time, but also respect his decision if he chooses not to re-engage.
If a Capricorn wants you back, should you take him back?
Capricorn men rarely chase after something they don’t believe is worth it. If he genuinely wants you back, he has likely thought it through carefully. However, before making any decisions, ask yourself why the breakup happened and whether the issues that caused it have truly been resolved. Look for consistent effort from him; Capricorns prove their intentions through actions, not just words.
Do Capricorn men come back after a breakup?
A Capricorn man may come back if he believes the relationship had real value and potential. However, he won’t return just because he’s lonely or nostalgic—he’ll only come back if he sees a clear path forward. If he does reach out, he will likely take things slowly, observing whether you still align with his long-term vision.
If you’re dealing with a Capricorn ex, remember that patience and emotional stability are key. Whether he comes back or moves on, it’s important to focus on what truly makes you happy rather than waiting for him to decide your future.
Will a Capricorn man forget you after a breakup?
Capricorn men are known for their long-term memory, especially when it comes to relationships. Even if he seems distant or cold, he won’t easily forget someone who played a significant role in his life.
He may not openly express his emotions, but deep down, he reflects on the past and remembers the bond you shared. If the relationship had a strong foundation, he’ll carry those memories with him for a long time.

Make Your Capricorn Man See Your True Value (and Open for Love)…
Most women sit back, waiting for love to happen.
But what about you?
We’ve all been taught the fairy tale—stay patient, be pretty, and a prince will sweep you off your feet.
But in reality?
Waiting often leads to missed opportunities.
I remember my client Jane. One night, she met a guy while out with friends. They exchanged numbers… and then nothing.
For two months, he didn’t text her. Then a friend dared her to send him a message—just for fun.
That one text changed everything.
Today, Jane and Russell are happily married, living in Europe, and planning a family.
And to this day, he still says, “I’m so glad you reached out first.”
But what if Jane never made that move?
I see it all the time—women missing out because they’re afraid of taking the first step.
Here’s the truth: Capricorn men need reassurance before they pursue.
If you don’t give him the right signals, he may never make a move.
But when you subtly show him your value—without chasing—he’ll realize you’re a woman he doesn’t want to lose.
Go here to learn the right way to trigger a Capricorn man’s desire to commit.

That’s ridiculous it’s a kind of person totally without emotional inteligence, acting like was perfect or God. Nobody is perfect.
Live is that, growing up, making mistakes, those are the things make people better and help evolute together by the time. Excepting betrayal, that I think is something Unforgiven, discarding someone is purely arrogance and insecurity. that’s why I don’t believe in Horoscopes/sig
Hi Raquel!
You’re right. No one is perfect. Even more ironic, Capricorn is actually in everyone’s birth chart somewhere. That means we all have a touch of Capricorn in us. This is why I say it’s important to learn everything you can about a person instead of just sign alone. Horoscopes are quite accurate if you are going directly through an astrologer who is looking at your actual birth chart, not looking at just the basics. There is more to each of us in our charts. I hope you give it another chance… let an astrologer read for you and give you a personalized scope based on your full birth information instead of just your sun.
My ex did block me n ignore me even though I wasn’t reaching out to him didn’t talk to me for days on end over something as minor as me telling him he didn’t appreciate me at all he has done this countless times and the very last time I told him do not contact me if u do it again I’m done which I now am and he always comes back with a msg about something then he says sorry it was an accident I did catch him countless times on dating sites which he thought was fine for him not for me he could swear but I couldn’t he could call the shots but not me always wanted me changing something about myself he had ocd as well so If something happened to him it was my fault or I should have cleaned it better. He introduced me to his mum without asking me first randomly facetimes his family and tells them I’m his wife then while I’m on the phone he tells them how crazy and rude I was which was my que to leave. After asking him why he always looks to blame everything else but himself he got extremely rude n I got out of the car coz I didn’t want to hear how judgemental he was being about how bad I was n he just drove off like he had some sort of right to tell me what my past was like even though he knew nothing about it n never heard from him since but I’m not blocked and if he msgs again I’m going to give him a taste of his own medicine. As a Capricorn myself I’ve got a strong personality which they don’t like coz they don’t that control over me n I find the men in this sign extremely difficult to deal with and would never go for another one again. The ones I’ve met all have some emotional baggage or hate women n always want to put them down and never be there for them
Hi Rori!
It sounds like your Capricorn relationship is riddled with problems. I am sorry you’re having such a difficult time with him sweetheart. They can be rather difficult, that’s true. Not all Capricorn men are the same thank goodness. Even though you’ve met similar, there are going to be some differences. Even in a Capricorn/Capricorn relationship there are trials and tribulations because you’re both strong minded and can be stubborn. This sign is often best with a more softer sign that will help bring the tenderness. I would suggest to you to try a different sign sweetheart. Perhaps a water sign would be more easy to deal with or an air sign. I wish you all the best!
Me and my Capricorn first had a fallout lastyear, he walked away ignored me for awhile but I was determined to get him back. I did but it took 4months. He did miss me too, then we had another fallout this year March, he disappeared ignored for awhile, but started to respond, I’ve seen him few times, he came to see me 4weeks ago to talk, was supposed to be seeing how it goes, but he’s different making No effort to communicate he’s changed, I Cut him off he hurt me alot, But they are hard to get back so stubborn, but it’s not impossible I got him back on 3times ? I’m a libra probably my charms and sexy ways.
Hi Maria!
Yes it does take time. I’m sorry to hear that you two had a fallout again though. That had to have been quite frustrating for you. Him making no effort isn’t nice either. You’re right it’s not impossible but it really has to do with how much he cared or not. You keep doing you and doing what is best in your life. Try putting your charms into someone worthwhile that will give you all you deserve. I wish you all the best!
my Capricorn ex doesn’t contact me (he asked me to leave 5 days ago) but on his socials and to the outside world everyone thinks we are still together. he still has the same profile picture (picture of both of us) his relationship status is still in relationship with me, our google calendars are still linked with each other. he himself hasn’t told anyone that we’ve broken up yet. I know it’s best for him to contact first. but what if that doesn’t happen? I really want to restore our relationship. but don’t know where to start.
Hi Tineke!
He’s not over you otherwise he’d shut you out totally and definitely would not keep the photos of you two up. I think you need to somehow let him know you’d like another go at it if he’d be interested and then leave it at that. If he doesn’t come around then he’s no in the right headspace. You will then need to decide if you’re going to wait for him or if you will take care of yourself and move on. I wish you all the luck of the stars!
Hi,
After a complicated “relationship” with a Capricorn man (I am Pisces woman)….I decided to break up with him. I’ve sent him a message saying that it is better for him to pretend I am dead….and I blocked him. The next day I’ve sent him an email explaining the things I could not overcome and how much he hurted me. He was schocked and angry. Very angry that I deleted and blocked him and he told me that he doesn’t want to talk to me again since I have behaved this way. After 3 weeks I unblocked him because I thought since we were not anymore friends in social media there was no point of having him blocked…I unblocked him just to find out that he looked for me in the social media and he blocked me! We had a very passionate relationship…very special…But I suppose he doesn’t want to hear from me anymore!??♀️I miss him a lot…but I don’t dare to contact him…
Hi Sophie!
So instead of him looking at his own behavior, he’s looking at yours? That my dear, is a narcissitic response. Give it more time with no contact. He needs time to chill himself out though if he was treating you badly then he may not love you in the way you deserve either. Him pointing the finger at you is trying to make you feel bad instead of accepting what he did and apologizing for it. If he truly loved or cared for you, he would have tried to explain himself or at least say he’s sorry. Take care of yourself and do things you love to work o healing yourself. Not contacting him is definitely the right decision. I wish you all the best sweetheart!
Hi,
We were super happy couples never argued

It’s been 2 months I really miss him
It is Christmas time and his birthday is coming soon
