When Taurus and Cancer get 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 two particular signs have a lot in common: both value security in a love relationship above almost everything else, both tend to be nurturers (Cancer is emotionally stimulating, while Taurus likes to spoil their lover with sensual delights, gifts and good, rich meals). Both are very domestic and love a quiet evening at home with their love.

The Taurus-Cancer partnership tends to be happy because of this mutual enjoyment of security and home comforts. They love a solid foundation, a strong relationship, nice possessions, good food: all the comforts of home life. Theirs is often the ideal family that people of other signs strive for, with strong bonds between them and a relationship that is geared towards the family rather than the outside world. Their only major problems arise when Taurus insists on having their own way and Cancer responds in a bad mood. Taurus must understand Cancer's emotional sensitivity, and Cancer needs to rely more on open and honest communication than on emotional blackmail.

Taurus is ruled by Venus (Love) and Cancer is ruled by the Moon (Emotions). Both celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy. Cancer often keeps emotions bottled up and boiling inside, which can lead to occasional tensions. Thus, Cancer is attracted to the open, honest and fearless nature of Taurus. As the Moon controls the tides of the Earth, silently affecting all of life, so it is with Cancer, manipulating behind the scenes. Cancer tends to be sentimental, and both partners prefer to have fun rather than socialize 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 nourish an Earth sign like Taurus, just as rain nourishes the Earth and helps grow crops. In turn, Taurus tends to have a more stable outlook on life than Cancer and is less prone to emotional turbulence, so Taurus can help Cancer stabilize its tumultuous feelings. Both Signs must be careful in this relationship, however: Taurus can tire of Cancer's moods, and Cancer can, in turn, find Taurus insensitive to their needs.

Taurus is a fixed sign and Cancer is a cardinal sign. Taurus has fixed habits, they don't change their minds once they've 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 later.

What is the best aspect of relationships between Cancer and Taurus? The stable and reliable team they make. Both Signs are reliable and stimulating, strongly oriented towards domestic life together. A mutual love of home and security makes them an ideal long-term family relationship.
