Who is better for a Taurus woman — a Capricorn man or a Cancer man?
March 15, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner
Decisions, decisions.
The question alone sounds like a pitch for a romantic comedy. Tam, a self-sufficent young woman able to hold down her beer and beat her brother at arm wrestling, is torn between two guys. Jack is a type-A Corporate America personality who wears three-piece suits and does power lunches. Sal cooks pastries at the local bakery, and spends his lunch break feeding ducks at Central Park. Tam loves Jack’s confidence and authority, but she’s totally sweet on Sal, a man who’s not afraid to show his vulnerable side.
Jack takes Tam to a swanky uptown restaurant where he slips the maitre d’ a few bills to get them the best table. He wants to fly her on his private jet to Madrid over the weekend. But wait! She has a date with Sal this Saturday to view ‘The Dinner Party’ exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. What should she do? How can she turn down this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
You see, a man with money fills her need for financial security. Not that she can’t make it on her own — she’s doing fine selling her clients’ stuff on eBay — but she’s certainly not opposed to getting a nice diamond. On the other hand, Tam could totally feel taken care of by Sal, in a different way. She loves his romantic nature and that he would go out of his way to make her feel safe. Jack just doesn’t feel cushy, you know.
This turning-point — where the above paragraph plays out in a flashback montage over a catchy but sentimental emo song — occurs near the end of the film.
It’s your turn to write the ending.

OK…I was married to a Cancer man for 11 years, and he walked out on my sons and I (after a year of emotional abuse) two weeks before their 6th birthday because he was cheating with an employee. He was such a horrid Mama’s Boy that it wreaked havoc on our marriage from day one. He was emotionally infantile, clingy and controlling. And incredibly CHEAP, yet he leeched onto me when he had nothing…became successful, then wouldn’t spend a dime on us. A complete CREEP…cold, mood swings, undersexed, flirt and cheater, liar, etc. Cancer Men are AWFUL and very effeminate. They are mama’s boys who never grow up,and feel entitled to be coddled, yet give very little in return. STAY AWAY…
I am a Capricorn male in this Romantic comedy and it is not funny… at all. Me and my girlfriend attended school at Jobcorps where she got to know a cancer male she then felt as if I was not paying her enough attention so she left me for him after 4 years of relations. It really sucks being a Capricorn in this aspect.
I think that Taurus women does well with other earth signs (Caps & Virgos), but i think its too much “earthiness” together. I think that’s why we have such a gravitational pull towards water signs (Cancer, Scorps & Pisces). They are a little like us, but different. Sometimes being with someone very similar to yourself gets a little boring.
Im A Taurus woman, in a 10 year relationship with a Cancer man. I love him very dearly. We have had ALOT of hard times, still, we stick together. I think that most Taurus women cant help but be attracted to Cancer men. We need and love the affection and attention. I know I do. I was married to a COLD Libra man for 18 years. All he did was cheat on me. He was NEVER happy with anything I ever did for him. My Cancer man is soooo grateful and appreciative of every little thing I do for him. He’s wonderful!!!
I’m a cancer man and we do have mood swings quite often, but some of us have had them so much in the past we know how to deal with them and move on in about 3 minutes. Yes, we do try to make things look as best as we can because most of us are very artistic (I know I am.). Not going to tell a lie neither, we are sensitive as well…it is just how we are programmed and it sucks sometimes. Hell, sometimes I hate being very sensitive when I wish I was not.
Also, if you meet the right one, we feel attraction forever for some damn reason. Not all of us are Mama’s boys…I’m not. I can take care of myself by myself.
I was in a relationship with a cancer man over the last year. He was affectionate and loving. Emotionally and physically, we connected on a higher level. The problem is, I’m an over achiever (as most Taurus are). I work very hard and am looking forward to a bright financial future. On the other hand, my cancer did not believe in hard work, was not doing well financially, living with a friend and wasting money left and right. He felt sorry for everyone and had an excuse for everyone’s screw ups (including his own). This weighed on me heavily as I couldn’t bare to watch!! And I knew we couldn’t have any future together the way things were. So I took him to lunch and let him know how I felt. He was very offended and I haven’t talked to him since. That was about a month ago. To me, that is very childish as he is 39 and I am 41. We are not babies!!
I have recently met a capricorn. He seems very mature and responsible. Just the type of guy that I like. I think we are on the same level and think similarly about things. We’ll see how this goes. I am hopeful.
I am caner unmarried man (age 32) I am in love with a Taurus girl (age 28) We were working in the same department before 3 yrs I proposed her but couldn’t get +ve answer, now we are not in contact, still I am not able to quit from thoughts rather I would say I don’t want to quit. I couldn’t win her heart. She is also not getting married with anybody. is she waiting for me? .. I don’t know. I had told everything about me to her. As I know that Taurus women and cancer man is the best couple I don’t want to loose her. Should I wait her ?? what to do ? please guide me.
Yugpurush: I am a Taurus woman, and I am madly in love with a Cancer man. I can tell you one thing about Taurus women: we hate to wait for men. We want to be pursued. She will not make the first move; even if she is in love with you. Us Taurus’ are EVERY BIT as stubborn as you Cancers. Ask anyone who knows us! LOL! But seriously, us Taurus girls want to be pursued.
I’m a Taurus woman married to a very challenging Virgo man. It was love at first sight for me, but I was in love much earlier than him… I had to wait a long time till eventually winning his impossible perfectionist/ideals of a perfect woman. He was the only one able to break my heart into pieces, rejecting me cause, guess what, I wasn’t perfect!! But he then realized what impossible expectations he can have and he literally followed me all over the world for a year and half, till winning me back. I was mad at him like only a crazy wounded Taurus woman can be, but his persistence and honesty made me trust him again and we eventually married. Guess what? my marriage with him is a bid disappointment:( of course we can talk for days, we can also understand each other without talking but all we do eventually is talking, talking, talking!!! My virgo man needs to talk and communicate so much that there’s no room left for instincts, nothing spontaneous or sensual… Our sex life is a complete disaster! he is the fussiest and most critical impossible person of my life. I’ve never been so physically and spiritually unhappy. I started to hate making love to him since each time it’s such a disappointment!
I thought sex wasn’t so important and I married him cause he made me feel beloved and nurtured, but without sex no one can survive. listen to me, go with a virgo only if you both manage in bed, otherwise, it’s a recipe for a disaster!! better choices are cancer or scorpio for the taurus woman. I’ve never loved a capricorn, but at this point I’m dreaming of meeting one… Good luck to you all!
Yea, I don’t like cancers and I have only dated two girls and they were both tauruses. The physical attraction and the sex was great, the only problem with both of em was that they expected a huge commitment out of me just like that, and on top of that they were so built-up with emotion. I couldn’t take it, me being the good talker trying to calm them down and care for there emotions. It was bulls***, I gave them my advice, but they didn’t listen to a damn word of it. You listen and you learn, that is a very simple thing in life and they never understood. They had same mind-set from beginning to the end. Don’t get me wrong, I’m actually after another taurus girl, but she seems more like my type more then anything. She has a controlling Bf, but I can change that.
Anonymous, I agree with what you said about Cancers being childish. If you say the wrong thing, they will not answer the phone, the door, your e-mails, nothing. I think that is extremely childish and juvenile. They want to talk to you when THEY are ready, but what right do they have to make you wait like that?
I’m a Taurus woman and I am about to break up with my cappie boyfriend fora cancer guy. I was ok at first with him being there financially and providing for my every need, but emotionally, OMG. I’m starved, I have always had esteem issues so I struggle a bit and always ned tha re-assurance from my spouse but he was never there in that way. Just found out he cheated on me with his ex , who incidentally broke up with him for cheating. So I’m looking forward to my emotional cancer. I think he is what I need. But just incase it doesnt work. I would date another cap guy. You know us Taurus’s we love the security.
Well just as an update (I am the taurus whose cancer stopped talking to me because I told him about my concerns about his financial situation). My Cappie and I are still together and doing great. He is very, very attentive and caring and loving – which sort of surprises me because everything I’ve read makes Caps seem cold and aloof. He’s 41 years old though and maybe as they get older, they’re more settled. But, he is wonderful and I can definitely see a future for the two us. We’ll see what happens. I’ll keep you all posted
Ok so I’m a taurus female and have been “involved” with a Capricorn male for about 5 and 1/2 years. When we had our first date there was an immediate connection, it was like the stars and planets were aligned or something lol. I felt more comfortable with him then I had ever felt with anyone that soon. We were officially together for 2 years, and in the first year and a half our relationship was like a dream.He had a LOT of baggage (including 2 kids that I know about, a soon to be ex-wife, two baby mamas, and a needy mother), but I didn’t find out most of this until I was in love with him. He was sweet,loving, and we had this bond…and then we broke up ,but we didn’t break up if you know what I mean. He wants his way or no way, but he’s very clever in hiding this. My cap man knows how much I love him and uses my love and my Taurian loyalty to his advantage. He doesn’t want to commit but doesn’t want to let me go either.He knows that I try to move on but that he still has my heart, he keeps me confused which is also frustrating. He can been emotionally cold but I’ve realized that’s just a cover, and that he needs more loving and caring than he puts on.He’s also very secretive, and I’m not sure about other Taurus’s but I hate secrets with anyone I’m involved with. But there’s one thing there is no denying, and that’s the sexual chemistry between a Taurus and a Cap. We can’t be alone without ripping each other’s clothes off.They are one of the few signs that can satisfy the usual insatiable sexual appetite of a Taurus. I’ve tried to leave him but I’m convinced that unless I moved to another state and change my name he will never go away, and as you’ve heard Cap’s usually get what they want.
On the other hand I’ve also dated Cancers and was immediately turned off. In my experience, they were clingy, obsessive, and controling.
ima cap need a taurus
Tauro, I totally agree.
) I expected more emotionally. He seemed so closed off from me. I wanted more than the whole “friends-with-benefits” scenario. He was 12 years older than me and I thought he should be more mature than that. I ran away fast. I was tired of his coldness, it doesn’t mean that I would never give a cap another chance. It was just that one specifically. Luckily he found himself a wife who must be satisfied with his cold cruel behaivor.
I dated a Cap for awhile back in the day. It was constant heartbreak. I need to be assured that I am number one, and sure the financial security was satisfying (as was the sex life
Recently I’ve been involved with a Cancer. There is a gravitational pull towards him. I love how he is so generous with his feelings, and conversation. He is so open (when it suits him). Don’t get me wrong, this boy drives me crazy!!! It’s a crazy where I can’t stop thinking about him or can’t get him out of my mind. Maybe the sex isn’t as great. Cancer is a little too freaky and sometimes intimedating for such a narrow minded Taurus. From my two experiences it seems like no matter what my crab does will make me sway my attention from him. I’m sure I’ve given him more chances than my previous goat. I think that a Cancer is great for me personally. I need emotion more than money in a wallet.
I’m a capricorn lady and I concur with the emotions bit…it’s very dry when two earth signs get acquainted…parched actually
unless either has a strong influence of water
