Cancer is the 4th sign of the zodiac. It is a Moveable sign, with water as its element. The Moon is its ruler, who signifies the mind and emotions. That makes the Cancerians (Cancer natives) sensitive and emotional. They might also be soft and kind. They are essentially family people, loving, protective, tolerant, understanding, forgiving, and entirely devoted to their near and dear ones. They can go to any extent to meet the needs of their family and friends and keep them happy. However, these people can also be highly temperamental and hyper-sensitive. While the Cancer natives will likely be empathetic, they may also be stubborn and possessive, thus reflecting the traits of the tenacious crab, the symbol of their sign.

Cancer - Taurus Relationship

With a lot in common, Cancer and Taurus are naturally compatible signs. Venus is the planet of beauty and love, which rules the Earth sign Taurus. Taurus natives are slow, stable, and reliable. Their symbol is the bull, denoting strength, and faithfulness.    

When the Cancer and Taurus natives forge a bond, the association can have all the contours of traditional love, which often fructifies in marriage.

With they being what they are, let us examine their relationship through the lens of their characteristic traits, and assess their levels of compatibility in some detail.   

The Positives

The Cancer-Taurus relationship will generally be old-fashioned, starting slowly and growing gradually but steadily. There may not be any rushing in; the duo may take their own time to understand each other and prepare themselves to swim through the highs and lows of their life. Water blends well with the earth, making it fertile and facilitating growth. So could the water sign Cancer and earth sign Taurus be collaborating and complementing each other for a purposeful partnership. They both may feel the need for emotional security, which they may seek from the other. Once each of them is able to fulfill this inner need of the other, trust starts building up between them, signaling a stable, long-term association. 

Cancerians can be emotional, and Taureans can be industrious, but both value stability a lot in life. Hence, they may face challenges patiently, make difficult decisions as situations demand, and work with perseverance until they succeed in their endeavor. With aspects like tastes, outlooks, and goals making a common cause, they can combine as a good team and make things happen purposefully.

Taurus will generally remain self-satisfied and resist change but continue doggedly until they successfully complete whatever they undertake, overcoming challenges. Cancer, known to play safe and sound, can be a good match to this, as they may fall back on the time-tested traditional methods and go at things with their characteristic stubbornness. Taurus and Cancer will hope to achieve stability, which they both value a lot in life, through such complementary approaches, using patience as an unfailing travel guide till they reach their destination.        

Cancer is also highly protective and can go to any extent to shield their loved ones from harm; they will also be ready to pay any price to safeguard the serenity and tranquility in their bond. These Cancerian traits can add much value to their relationship with the solid Taurus and enhance their compatibility.       

The Other Side of the Cancer-Taurus Story 

But every coin has 2 sides, and even the generally cordial Cancer-Taurus relationship, too, may face occasional rough weather.

Cancer can be extremely temperamental and emotionally very unbalanced. On the other hand, Taurus can usually be stable and patient and should be able to manage Cancer's emotional ups and downs well in the normal course. However, even the solid 'Bull' can have its off Day and give in to mood swings. In the unfortunate scenario of the Cancer throwing temper tantrums when the Taurus remains off-color, the 'Bull' can simply pounce on the hyper-sensitive Cancer, with the result being anybody's guess.         

Also, the generally friendly Taurus can sometimes go crazy and start charging at anything their sights fall on. That can leave the timid Cancer thoroughly confused, forcing them into their shell. 'Once bitten,' the Cancerians can be 'many times shy,' it may not be easy to pull them back to the routine and restore a normal relationship between the two.    

Also, Cancer is a home sign, cozy and comfortable in its own cocoon. Taurus is inherently change-resistant and smug in its routine. Thus, they both may love to live in their own small worlds and have nothing exciting to share in life. Theirs can be safe living, but it need not necessarily be a shared living, where each brings something unique and of their own to their life of togetherness.

Cancer-Taurus Love and Marriage

Both Cancer and Taurus will need emotional security and keep seeking it in the other. Once they start trusting that the other can provide it, their love can really take off. The couple shares their common preferences and goals, protecting and pampering each other as they move along as lovers and partners in life.

The stable Taurus can find in the tradition-bound Cancer an ideal life partner who holds old values in high esteem and supports them in every step of their life. While Cancer can see the Taurus as someone filling their emotional needs and worthy of banking on, the Taurus can find Cancer as a soft and sure haven to rest after facing the challenges that life throws at them.
