Who is better for a Taurus woman -- a Capricorn man or a Cancer man?
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.

As a Taurus (sun, rising and mercury) I understand the need for security. I married for security (Leo) and lived to regret it. My husband was a good provider, but he never had time for me. He was the king and I was just the servant. He died very young. I am now dating a Cancer man and life is good. I feel precious, cared for and very secure in a way that I can appreciate after many long years of money but no time. My Cancer man may never be rich, but he does just fine for himself. And the benefits of having someone who cares in a less tangible but more fulfilling way are priceless. Money is a cold lover on a cold night.
:-)I hear you, Taurus lady.
So, are you saying that first we should marry a person with money, who dies young, or otherwise leaves us comfortably well off, and then* we marry for love?
Sounds good to me.;-)
from Libra
I would end this story that the Taurus woman sleeps with the Capricorn man and then the Cancer man, and while sick one day, the Cancer man helps her by literally holding her head up to feed her hot soup.
So, later when she's better, she thinks of Capricorn's money--and then of Cancer man's kindness--and chooses the Cancer.
(although, in reality, both Capricorn, and Cancer are parental--just in different ways--she would do well with either one.:-)
I wish I'd been left "comfortably well off", but he left everything to his mother after he divorced me - then died. The kids and I got squat - except for a house with ahuge mortgage. He never cared - he just wanted someone to stay home raise the kids. The kids are the only good thing that came of it - well, except for the lessons learned. Life is a work in progress and it's always good to pay attention to the lessons.
I am a Taurus (Sun, Mercury). I married a Capricorn (with a Scorpio-based 6H Stellium!!). He does not 'provide' financially (we contribute equally) but he is solid as a rock.
I can't say enough how much I love my stable honey!
Happy, and in love
I would go for the capricorn. These cappy men are stable and loyal and will do anything for their women, which includes extra work at the office. 10 years down the line, the taurus woman will smile knowing that she is well cared for both emotionally and financially.
If a Cappy husband is spending extra time at the office, how can he have the time and energy to also care for his wife emotionally? It seems there would be a trade-off.
My cappy husband cheated on me with a predatory Scorpio so don't go thinking they are perfect! ANd yes- I believe for Cap's that extra time at the office drains from the energy at home but He'll never see that!
She goes for the cancer man cause she's totally used to them having a cancer best friend for over 13 years (that's my story anyway ;D).
Personally I find capricorns kind of suffocating. Sometimes they appear spontaneous and fun, but should anyone push the envelope they get too self-righteous in my opinion. Also, cancers are really loyal and understanding... much more emotional based. Since taurus's mind set is on love and beauty, she definetly needs both to feel trully loved. Cancer's got a hold on the emotional love department, and affection is something taurus's need. Cancer's give it in spades. (this is based on my experiences with cap and cancer males at my college).
To me its choosing between the sweet emotional prince (Tobey Maguire's cancer shows through in Peter Parker) or a stern, loves-you-inwardly, will buy you everything king (perfect example is David Bowie's Jareth).
Being a capy man writing this from office ( ^&*&#@ !! ) you forgot something about caps - once he knows his lady, he can sacrifice a great deal for her and cold Saturn somehow does not let her know what he did for her. He expresses his gratification to his lady by being there for her. By providing what she needs at the ‘right time’. (Trust me I know). It feels like she is inside him but he can’t let her know about it.
Now back to the plot – if she chooses to sleep with cancer; she better forget the cap and get Darwin award for Taurus-females. If she chooses the cap – words cannot express what she is in for...
Anonymous Cap behind closed door at the office-- you are an ENIGMA!
since when does a Capricorn give a hoot about astrology, much less give it any credence?
Cool Cappy, what other planets comprises your DNA? Clearly Saturn in in competition with other forces, as you are sharing your heart here
a very BIG heart (surely you must have some Leo going on)
dont be amazed. :) everyone is normal. how many cap men have you see in these forums? sure not many.. but most check to see what's going on in here but are silent spectators and move another site with a grin;) after seeing how much they are misunderstood. hey jeff-- caps dont have good rapo with astrologers either. can you pls not stereotype this character as well?
LOL "everyone is normal"
will you PLEASE not stereotype the entire population?
surely you've bumped into more than a fair share of oddballs in your time
I stand amazed if you haven't
But stereotyping Capricorns is so darned FUN.
So in the end, her Cancer guy buddy is employeed by the Capricorn man that owns the duck feeding company.
He is also boning the Taurus woman that lights up like a firecracker for him.
The moral of the story:Let the Cancer guy house sit your dogs while you're on vacation.
OMG This is the story of my mom! she is taurus, and my dad is a capricorn, and my stepdad is a cancer! the reason my parents split up is because my mom is too sensitive, and gets mad very easily, thinks she's always right. and my dad is a very calm person, he doesn't like to fight, stead he will tell you all these reason why he did that, very rational, and a workaholic. Yes my dad does a real good job in providing financial security, but a poor job on fulfilling emotional needs. I remember when I was little my dad would secretly put money in my pencil case every weekend when he came to see me at my granny's to make up all the time he couldn't spend with me because of his busy job. Now my mom married this cancer man, a family guy, and she's happier with him I think, more emotionally satisfying . It's hard to satisfy a taurus woman I find. I'm an aries, scorpio moon, sag rising. don't get along with mom very well. we've been fighting ever since I had my first memory LOL but I love her dearly!
as a cancer man myself with a taurus woman as a very close friend indeed, the love we share is inseparable between us, it hurts me when she is feeling down and i am not there to comfort her, i would do anything for her, she is so amazing when that beauty shines through her, true i may not be rich, but my love for her will never expire, when were apart she is on my mind all the time, through the hard times she is facing at the moment, i feel her pain and confusion but i keep her head above the water, i dont know why but she says i make her smile all the time, true i can be a grouchy sod, but when you got someone who reflects the love back on you as she does, it makes every step of the fight to carry her through this hard time in life heartfelt to myself to know that she really does appreciate it, that is what makes us soulmates, and we will always stay within one anothers hearts, this part of my life is the most draining but i know that she needs someone there and i am glad that she has chose me to trust in and confide in, and down at the bottom of it all, i wouldnt swap what me and my baby in the stars have no way ever
