The Taurus-Cancer partnership tends to be a happy one because they both enjoy the security and comfort of home. They mutually enjoy a solid home base, a strong relationship, nice possessions, and 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 oriented toward family rather than the outside world. Their only major problems arise when Taurus insists on having its own way and causes Cancer to sulk. Taurus needs to understand Cancer's emotional sensitivity, and Cancer needs to be more open about their needs instead of relying on emotional blackmail.

             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 worthwhile endeavors. The Moon controls tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life; and Cancer manipulates the setting while Taurus works more conspicuously on the projects they value. 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. 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 nurture Taurean Earth the way rain nurtures Earth and helps crops grow. 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. But too much of a good thing can turn to mud if both partners arent careful. Taurus may tire of Cancer's mood swings, and Cancer may in turn feel that Taurus is insensitive to their needs. They need to work together to come to an agreement that satisfies both partners.

             Taurus is a Fixed Sign and Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. Taurus has fixed habits, and they won't change an opinion once its 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. These Signs will work well together if Cancer can initiate ideas and Taurus can keep them going.

             The best aspect of the Taurus-Cancer relationship is the solid, steady, reliable team they make. Both Signs are dependable and nurturing, strongly oriented toward domestic life together. A mutual love of security and home makes theirs an ideal family relationship.
