Taurus and Cancer: the astrological aspect
Sextile (two signs apart). A sextile links signs of compatible elements (Fire with Air, Earth with Water). It is a friendly, easy aspect: ideas and opportunities flow, and each sign naturally supports the other's strengths. The connection is warm but may need some intentional effort to deepen into passion.
A Cardinal sign starts things and a Fixed sign sustains them, a useful division of labor. Friction appears if the Cardinal partner feels held back or the Fixed partner feels pushed.
Scores on this page start from the elements of the two signs and are adjusted by their aspect. They are a playful reflection tool, not a prediction.
