Capricorn being cardinal sign supports the social conditioning a boy receives growing up. Boys are supposed to take action, lead, be ambitious, authoritative, and sure of themselves. A traditional Capricorn male will want to dominate, while a traditional Scorpio woman tends to support him, his career goals and put herself second.
Male Scorpio and Female Capricorn

It takes a strong self-assured man to be comfortable with a strong, assertive woman, but a progressive Scorpio man can pull it off.
