This is a love match where there is more than passion and convenience. These two star signs have a genuine compatibility with one and other. They are two people that enjoy each other’s company and have a real connection. Both are solid, practical characters and both are careful with money. They have an eye for true quality and can be very happy together.
Taurus is a fixed earth sign who loves routine and stability. For anyone to have a successful relationship with a Taurus they must be willing to spend quiet nights in and enjoy good food and comfortable surroundings. Luckily for this pair, Virgo is similar in that they have a tendency to fret and worry a lot and often resist being in the spotlight or initiating change. Virgo is an earth sign like Taurus, which means that they are both far happier walking together in the country, working in the garden with the earth, or enjoying good food and conversation. They seem to have an innate connection and understanding with one another.
Virgo’s critical eye is one point of contention that is likely to grate on Taurus’s nerves. Nobody likes having their faults pointed out, but at least here Taurus is a strong, solid character who will not take as much offence from Virgo’s occasional comments as a more sensitive sign such as Cancer would.
Taurus’s natural possessiveness is another potential cause of problems between the two earth signs because Virgo is a mutable sign. This means that, like Gemini and Sagittarius, Virgo is an adaptable character who does not like to be smothered or tied down. If Taurus cannot learn to let their partner have some freedom then they risk losing their more flighty Virgo.
Because they have such easy communication channels the problems between Taurus and Virgo can be discussed and worked through together. There is no overly passionate fire sign, intensely emotional water sign, or flighty air sign in this relationship. These two earth signs can sort things out in the practical and calm way that comes so naturally to them.
Cancer, as a cardinal sign, is likely to take the lead in this relationship. Taurus, a very placid sign, will not mind this for the most part. Cancer’s natural tendencies towards nurturing and caring fit very well with sensitive Taurus. The times when control issues might cause friction between the pair are when Cancer meddles in Taurus’s affairs. As a fixed sign Taurus is very stubborn and also likes to be in control of their own destiny. If their Cancerian partner starts to stick their nose in and try to control the finer details of Taurus’s life then the bull will reveal what a powerful sign it is underneath that outer placidity.
Taurus has a very magnetic, charismatic personality with a tendency for artistic flair that will attract Cancer towards them. Because of this it is likely that Cancer will make the first move. Sensual seduction, such as good food and music, are great ways for someone to find their way into a Tauran’s heart. It is not worth being too subtle about it because Taurus is an earthy, practical and direct character.
The compatibility of this match is not something that fades as the relationship settles down. In fact Taurus is a sign which is inclined to solid routines, loyalty and permanence. Their fixed nature means that once they start a task they will want to finish it before moving on to their next objective. The same attitude lies behind relationships so Taurus is always likely to be looking for something deep, long lasting and worthwhile from their relationships. Admittedly when they are young this is not so true. The raging bull can often take until adulthood before they settle down to their natural, placid, enduring nature.
Cancer is a very open and expressive sign so Taurus will soon know if their partner is not happy with something – Cancerian moods are legendary. Taurus on the other hand is more of a closed book. If something displeases them they are likely to work around it until it really annoys them, and then explode with rage before returning to their usual placidness afterwards. In many ways the compatibility of these two combinations is improved even further by Cancer’s outspoken opinions because they encourage their more withdrawn partners to express themselves before things reach the stage of explosion.
