Taurus and Cancer Compatibility
Taurus and Cancer are two signs apart, a sextile between fixed earth and cardinal water. Earth contains water and water softens earth, and this pair shows that image at its kindest. Both care about security, about family in whatever shape they give it, and about a home that is properly looked after.
Are Taurus and Cancer compatible?
Yes. This is one of the gentler high-scoring matches in the Codex, with strong communication and long-term ease and good chemistry. The sextile describes two people whose instincts support each other without much negotiation.
- Chemistry 8/10
- Communication 9/10
- Long-term 9/10
How the scores are worked out: signs two apart (a sextile) start at 7, 9 and 8 for chemistry, communication and long-term ease. Taurus’s earth adds a point of long-term ease and Cancer’s water adds a point to the lowest score, chemistry. Overall: 8.7/10, which the Codex calls “Natural flow”.
What attracts Taurus and Cancer?
A feeling of safety tends to arrive early. Cancer senses that Taurus is not going anywhere, and Taurus is fed, in every sense, by how closely Cancer pays attention. Love is expressed in practical acts such as cooking, remembering small things and making someone comfortable.
Where do Taurus and Cancer clash?
Cancer’s feelings shift through the day while Taurus stays on an even keel and may miss the change. Cancer can then feel unnoticed, and Taurus can feel accused of something it was never told. Both also have a tendency to hold tightly to belongings, people and old memories.
