Cancer and Taurus
When Taurus and Cancer form a friendship, it's generally a good
combination. They are two positions apart within the Zodiac, and
such Signs tend to have karmic ties and a good understanding of
each other. These friends have a lot in common and both crave
security: Taurus in a more material sense and Cancer in an
emotional sense. They can nurture one another.
The Taurus-Cancer friendship tends to be a happy one because they
both enjoy the feelings of security and comfort. They enjoy a solid
base, strong friendships, nice possessions, good food: all the
comforts of a good, stable life. Their family lives are often
idyllic, the kind that others strive for. They have strong ties
between them and an friendship that is oriented toward a family
dynamic rather than an exclusive, clique-ish aesthetic. Their only
major problems arise when Taurus insists on getting their way,
which can cause Cancer to sulk and pout in the corner. Taurus needs
to understand Cancer's emotional sensitivity, and Cancer needs to
be more open about their requirments instead of relying on passive
aggressiveness.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, and Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Both of
these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy. Taurus has an
open, honest nature that appeals to Cancer, who often keeps
emotions and feelings inside. Cancer can possess intense feminine
energy, and Taurus can help them learn to channel this energy into
the ventures that could really pay off. The Moon controls tides of
the Earth, quietly affecting all life; so it goes that Cancer
manipulates the setting while Taurus works more conspicuously on
their plans. Cancer tends to be sentimental, and both tend to hang
out together rather than socializing with groups of friends.
Taurus is an Earth Sign, and Cancer is a Water Sign. They form a
compatible union, as both Water and Earth are tangible, physical
entities. Cancer, as a Water Sign, is born to nurture and can
assist an Earthy Taurus the way rain sustains the Earth. In turn,
Taurus may have a more stable view of life, less prone to the
emotional turmoil of Cancer. Taurus can help Cancer stabilize their
tumultuous feelings and to learn to take criticism less personally.
Too much of a good thing can turn to mud if these friends aren't
careful. Taurus may tire of Cancer's mood swings, and Cancer may in
turn feel that Taurus is insensitive. They need to learn the art of
compromise.
Taurus is a Fixed Sign, and Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. Taurus has
Fixed habits, and they won't change an opinion once it's formed.
This can provide Cancer with an emotional rock in a sometimes cruel
world, as Taurus is entirely dedicated to the friendship. In turn,
Cancer can bring new inspiration to the pair and initiate all kinds
of plans that Taurus will enjoy taking over later. These Signs will
get along well if Cancer can initiate ideas and Taurus can keep
them going.
The best aspect of the Taurus-Cancer friendship is how solid,
steady and reliable they become when together. Both Signs are
dependable and nurturing, strongly oriented to cooperation. A
mutual love of security makes theirs a warm and ideal
friendship.
