    These two are affectionate and nurturing and share many of the same values and interests. As a water sign, Cancer flows naturally into the earth sign, Taurus , to make one of the strongest matches in the zodiac. It can seem like they're made for each other. [1]
    • Both signs are rather traditional and family-oriented, which makes them more likely to stay together.
    • This doesn't mean they won't have disagreements or misunderstandings from time to time. But they communicate well and are usually pretty good at resolving their problems together.

    Cancer is ruled by the Moon, the planet associated with emotions. The Moon is "exalted" in Taurus—in astrology, that means basically that the Moon is happy when it's in Taurus. Likewise, a Cancerian feels happy and comfortable with a Taurus.
    • Taurus, remember that your Cancerian partner is sensitive. Yes, you're a Bull, but that doesn't mean you have to approach every problem like a bull in a china shop, breaking precious glass. Take a few deep breaths and calm down before approaching a Cancer with an issue.
    • Cancer, talk to your Taurus partner about issues when they first come up so you can find a solution together. You tend to bottle things up to avoid conflict, but this can cause anger and resentment.

    These two really get each other. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and sensual pleasure. Cancer loves to please their partner, and the Bull loves sensual worship. These two have emotional sex that focuses on mutual pleasure and gratification. [2]

    It's easy for them to trust each other because they know their thoughts and feelings are always being taken into account. They have similar values and similar approaches to life, so they don't have to worry about conflicts there. They communicate freely and openly and would never let anything come between them.
    • Taurus, recognize that a Cancer can sometimes have a hard time opening up. They'll be quicker to let you in if they feel comfortable and at home with you, but it can take time. Have patience.
    • Cancer, trust your intuition about your Taurean partner. They want to provide you with a stable and strong foundation of love and support. You never have to question their loyalty to you.
    • Reader Poll: We asked 262 wikiHow readers about what quality they value most in a partner and 52% of them said loyalty and dependability . [Take Poll] So it's a great sign that Taurus has such a capacity for loyalty and trustworthiness!

    With most other signs, Cancer and Taurus would have difficulty communicating. But with each other, it just seems to click. Even though they may not say many words to each other, they communicate through a sort of sixth sense that they share.
    • Taurus, watch your tone when you're talking about an issue you have with Cancer—they're sensitive and you can hurt them without meaning to. You might also be too stubborn at times, so learn to let go of an issue if it's only causing conflict. [4]
    • Cancer, forgive Taurus if they do something to upset you. Holding onto a grudge can lead to resentment. You also want to bring up problems when they bother you rather than holding them inside to avoid a potential conflict.

    It's hard to find a more harmonious pairing than Cancer and Taurus. The Bull is steady and secure, which Cancer craves. The Crab is nurturing and family-oriented, which fits Taurus like a glove. Expect them to have similar goals in life and to support each other in achieving them. [5]
    • Taurus, Cancer is going to be far more focused on emotions than you are. Let them take the lead when it comes to nurturing—whether pets or kids—to build a happy and well-adjusted home.
    • Cancer, your Taurean partner is going to be more focused on financial security than you are. After all, Venus, the ruling planet of Taurus, also governs money. Let them handle the finances as much as possible and you'll have a more peaceful relationship.

    These two would be perfectly happy sitting at home every night eating a home-cooked meal and watching a little TV before turning in. They're both homebodies, but it still does them good to go out from time to time and see the world.
    • Taurus, as a Fixed sign, you like routine and aren't so great at making changes. [6] Let your Cancerian partner push you to try new things and expand your horizons so your relationship doesn't get stale.
    • Cancer, as a Cardinal sign, you're good at initiating things. Use this power to push the two of you to do new things as a couple so you don't stagnate.
