When Taurus and Cancer come together in a love affair,
it's usually a very good combination. They are two positions apart
within the Zodiac, and such Signs tend to share karmic ties and a deep
mutual understanding. These particular two Signs have much in common:
Both prize security in a love relationship above almost all else; both
tend to be nurturers (Cancer is emotionally nurturing while Taurus
loves
to spoil their lover with sensual delights, gifts and good, rich
meals).
They're both quite domestic and love a quiet night spent at home with
their sweetie.
The Taurus-Cancer partnership tends to be a happy
one due to this mutual enjoyment of the security and comfort of home.
They love a solid home base, a strong relationship, nice possessions,
good food: all the comforts of domestic life. Theirs is often the ideal
family that people of other Signs strive for, with strong ties between
them and a relationship that is family-oriented rather than toward the
outside world. Their only major problems arise when Taurus insists on
having its own way and Cancer responds by sulking. Taurus must
understand Cancer's emotional sensitivity, and Cancer needs rely on
open, honest communication than on emotional blackmail.
Taurus
is
ruled by Venus (Love) and Cancer is ruled by the Moon (Emotions). Both
of these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy. Cancer often
keeps emotions bottled up and simmering inside, which can lead to
occasional boil-overs. Thus, Cancer is attracted to Taurus's open,
honest, unafraid nature. As the Moon controls the tides of the Earth,
quietly affecting all life, so does Cancer, manipulating behind the
scenes. Cancer tends to be sentimental, and both partners prefer to
enjoy each other rather than socializing with large
groups.
Taurus
is an Earth Sign and Cancer is a Water Sign. Water and Earth are
compatible as tangible, physical entities. As a Water Sign, Cancer is
born to nurture an Earth Sign like Taurus the way rain nurtures Earth
and helps crops grow. In turn, Taurus tends to have a more stable view
of life than does Cancer and is less prone to emotional turmoil;
therefore, Taurus can help Cancer stabilize their tumultuous feelings.
Both Signs must be careful in this relationship, however: Taurus may
tire of Cancer's mood swings, and Cancer may in turn feel that Taurus
is insensitive to their needs.
Taurus is a Fixed Sign and Cancer
is a Cardinal Sign. Taurus has Fixed habits; they won't change an
opinion once it's formed. This can provide Cancer with an emotional
rock, as Taurus is entirely dedicated to the relationship. In turn,
Cancer can bring new inspiration to the relationship and start new
projects that Taurus will enjoy taking over later.
What's the
best aspect of the Taurus-Cancer relationships? The steady, reliable
team they make. Both Signs are dependable and nurturing, strongly
oriented toward domestic life together. A mutual love of home and
security makes theirs an ideal long-term, family relationship.
