taurus or cancer??
I can't stand most cancers, they'll betray you in heartbeat. They aren't even true to themselves.
taurus lol...my little bro is a cancer and he ican so selfish and self centred...however he is very straight forward and will always tell me how things are, plus when he says he will do something he always keeps his word! so i admire that in him...but hes sensitive under that tough shell so if i dare be horrible or mean to him he remembers for ages and it 'takes ages to win back his respect' as he always tells me!....funny, it was so easy when we were younger i could just bully him and he would cry, now he sulks forever!!! he also when not being selfish really does think about others, he will always go out to get me a nice present for example, i wanted a digital camera for my birthday but didnt know much about them, so he researched loads on the internet, printed the pages out and showed me which he thought were best so i could make my decision! he did this on other bdays too for me, electric toothbrushes, hairstraighteners etc, he even found ratings so i could see what other ppl had rated! so i guess it depends on the person , each sign may share similar traits but taur and canc each have their own different strong points, both are pretty loyal though in my experience...
well I am a leo girl and first time in my life,my new friends are taurians and cancerian!2 cancers and 2 taurus..according to my experience Cancer boys are better as friends than cancer girls.... the cancer girl is too clingy and self centered and needs help all the time and never helps back when I need it.She is always complining about evreything!which annoys me.but the cancer boy is very good as a friend.Very straightforward and understanding...
he is very straight forward and will always tell me how things are, plus when he says he will do something he always keeps his word! so i admire that in him...
very true! my cancer friend also always keeps his word.
well about my taurus friends,1 girl and one boy,again I have better experience with taurus boy.Girl is also fine but is very independent and sometimes selfish and diplomatic!but is never clingy which I like about her.taurus boy is a sweetheart and is a homebody.He is really very understanding and always ready to help.very down to earth but lacks confidence a bit in some situations.but still I admire him for keeping his word.He does not take lead in any project we do together.I always take the lead and organize things but he is the one who stands by me like a rock of gibraltor!
" so i guess it depends on the person , each sign may share similar traits but taur and canc each have their own different strong points, both are pretty loyal though in my experience..."
completely agree with you taur04girl!
ok this was about my friends.But there can be and must be respected exceptions in both the signs...Winking
I am good friends with Capricorn Females and Males, Scorpio Female, Leo Man, Aqua Girl,Pisces Gal, and Taurus Gals.
Friendship wise and Perfessionally -I can't stand Cancer Females because they're not loyal. Loyality and Ingerity is a must in my friendship circle, if I don't trust I'm not gonna waste my time. I can't stand whinny people in general, and they can't stand my dry/sarcastic sense of humor. If someone starts whining my classic line is "would you like some cheese with your 'whine'"?
Cappies on the other hand are hard workers, they're go getters like me. Instead of wasting time whining...they do something about it. (note-this is my own experience, I'm not saying this is true for anyone else)
lol sensual taurus, that joke is funny! i hate cancer girls too had a best mate as one once, always felt a bit sorry for her cause she was insecure, moany, selfcentred, stuck up, selfish, the list goes on! taurus girls are ok as they are dependable which i like!
really that joke was gr8Winking
yes,I am not fond of cancer girls too but I am still friends with my cancer friend because she always needs me.I personally dont think taurus girls are dependable.According to my experience,they can change their plans at the last moment without telling you...but yes,I have experienced this from only 1 taurus girl.I dont have many girls as a friend who are taurus..oh yes and her moon is cancer Winking
Hi again Sunny! Cancer people seem to be having trouble controlling their emotions. They might explode in a situation in which a Taurus will just take it as it comes. I'm not saying Taureans are better or anything, just different. I used to date, or, umm..never mind that, a Cancer girl. She was quite nice but her outbursts were eventually too much even for the hard-headed bull I am. Luckily she found a "proper" boyfriend and started a baby factory. I think she's in her third marriage now.
As for changing plans at the last moment, I might do that very well, but I'll be sure to tell anyone involved. Then again I think I have a Gemini ascendant..
How do you know what ascendant you are?
hey rekku nice to hear from youWinking
I didn't know u r a taurus GUY.but yeah taurus guys are sweetheartsBig Grin
"How do you know what ascendant you are?"
hey sensualtaurus,there are many sites which can tell you your ascendent if you provide your DOB,birth year and birth time.Unfortuanatelly I dont know any of them...Sad
but if you tell me your birth year,time and date,I will tell you what ascendent you are. :d
Hi there Sunnynite! Instead of just acting badly insulted I must ask you if I come across as a somewhat feminine character...??? Don't take me very seriously, I actually couldn't care less if someone thought that. I've had girls wondering why an ugly guy would water flowers and be into gardening and cooking, but that's the Taurus way. Most of us don't give a monkey's about what other people think about us.
As for the ascendant I keep getting mixed results. Some sources say it's Taurus, others it's moved to Gemini. Sunny, if you have a reliable source, please try: 2nd May 1966, 06:09 AM, Helsinki, Finland. Love, Rekku.
hello Rekku dear,
I m extremely sorry if you feel insulted! Don't take seriously what I said,that was just an exclamation! It's only that I didn't notice that u r a guy...my stupidityWinking and besides,you have given me suggessions in so wonderfully understanding way,I thought it has to be girl who understands me so well!!I have read something about taurus guys which I think is very true,they have written that,"taurus guys understand girl's mind really well"
so,don't feel bad ok??
love,sunny.
hey rekku,
According to my astrology software,you were born on Monday.
PLS. read the info. below----
Ascendent 00-21-01-59 ARIES

p.s.- I have checked this software by checking my own birth chart which was correct!
Thanks Sunny darling! The chart seems really, really odd 'cos my sun can't be in Aries! Born in May, nobody can turn me into an Aries..! Are you sure you got your data right? Last time I tried Astrolabe it was:
Rising sign Gemini
Sun Taurus
Moon Libra
Mercury Aries
Venus Pisces
Mars Taurus
Jupiter Gemini
Saturn Pisces
Uranus Virgo
Neptune Scorpio
Pluto Virgo
...so where's a mistake?
And don't worry Sunny, I wasn't the least bit insulted, I was just teasing you!!! Big Grin
Understanding someone's mind is a gift of some kind - you either understand or you don't. To me girls are often much easier to understand than guys, so I guess that makes me a pervert!!! :-)
Love, Rekku
oh rekku its so different!!
yes,I got my data correct! From where did you check your birth chart? if you can, will you try to get my birth chart according to your souce please? here's my info.-

sunny you just opened up a can of worms dear.
Sunny, the link is www.alabe.com/freechart if you want to try. I didn't know where you were born, of course, and it requires that to be accurate, but it gave the following info:
Rising sign Aquarius
Sun Leo
Moon Libra
Mercury Virgo
Venus Virgo
Mars Cancer
Jupiter Sagittarius
Saturn Libra
Uranus Sagittarius
Neptune Sagittarius
Pluto Libra
Was this anything like the result you get from software? Love, Rekku
"sunny you just opened up a can of worms dear"

I am still waiting for SagitTAUries's answer.......
In case you know what sagi was talking about,please tell me.love,Sunny.
hey thanks sagi.smile
a taurus person would make a better friend bt they are soooo boring..
Sunny, Sag explained the sidereal etc things already I see. What I don't understand is why I got so different readings in your chart! Well, as I already wrote, I didn't know where you were born, and obviously it makes a difference if you're born in Anchorage or Key West...
Love, Rekku
Oh yeah, one thing I forgot. Whoever Taurean earned us the reputation of being boring should be punished! We're all individuals. At least I myself am not exactly known for being boring, on the contrary. If you really want to be bored, look for a Capricorn. And then you'll be irritated as well as bored.
taurus friends are assholish types they are soo judgmental about cancers......thats prolly why cancers sort of step back and does not open up to them
They each have their faults and virtues. Cancers are empathic so they make for good conversation but are emotional so they can whine or get pissed easily. Tauruses are generally laid back and patient but can be boring sometimes.
There's one Taurus that I know that's a little clownish in a good way, so not all Tauruses are boring.

Hi Rekku9,
(the discrepancy could sometimes be in the House System: Placidus is the most popular & widely used in astrology, and is usually on default on most sites.)

I'm a Cancer, and I have a friend who is a Taurus. We are both very good friends...but if it came right down to it, i would pick a Taurus...just because i will be a very good friend...but if someone says something about me, i will go plot, and plan how to get them back, where as the Taurus just either lets it go, or solves the problem right then and there and moves on. I feel that I personaly am a very good friend, very caring, and i can feel how my friends are feeling, and i know how to react to that, and how to help them...now wiether i do or not is a different story.
People With Water Signs get on my ROYAL nerves, im going with Taurus because when people Hurt our feelings we back away but then recover at a faster rate then our good friends the cancers, Both loyal but Taurus is not as fearful, but on the other hand both of them can get very possive and if the bull gets jeolus then there will be problems.
Well King Bull, something that you forgot to mention (and keep in mind that i agree that taurus can be better friends) that Cancers feel what others are feeling...now my friend, whom is Taurus, seems to understand the feelings of others and know why they feel that way...however he doesn't feel there pain, or happyness. He is more "Knowledge-Based" where i am more "Emotional-Based". I am more of a comfert friend then he is...but he is more likely to be the one to stand up for them. If someone has both a Taurus and a Cancer as a friend, that is one lucky person...because weither or not the Taurus and Cancer get along, they are always there for that person. So both signs have there benifets...and both have there own weakness's...

what you've said is right on except for one thing - we DO feel those emotions and empathize with people....we're just not very good at showing it, and also tend to be more objective when looking at other people's situations...that's why we can give great advice but have a horrible time figuring things out for ourselves...we BOTH emotional AND logical...I go through this all the time with my scorpio best friend who sees EVERYTHING as a matter of logic and is incapable of taking emotion into account - her brother is cancer and FEELS everything...she doesn't understand this and has no respect for him as a result...I often have tobe the go-between explain it to her....
Hmmm,
I say both are pretty loyal friends. However, you definitely have to treat a cancer different from the way you treat a taurus.
With a taurus, you can be straightforward with them on just about any topic. Why? Because they are going to give you your shit regardless of how you try to put things mildly.
As far as cancers go ... yes, they are into themselves if they are not close to you. However, if thy are close to you ... they will still stab you in the back, BUT they wouln't want anyone else to do the same thing you you LOL!!!
Also, you have to do some mid-tricky with cancers. Always let them believe that you'll be there for them no matter what -- even if you are never there for them, they will still believe it.
That's the trick in keeping a cancer loyal, you must get them to believe in you Winking
Cancers haver turned out to be okay with me for the most part. Hahaha, maybe it's my Aquarius moon that doesn't allow me to take too many things they do personally. I had one bad experience with a cancer dude, and one cancer lady as a boss -- I'm gald that I've learned from them Big Grin
So this is sort of off topic, in a way, but we are talking about the cancer's emotions a lot, so i was wondering...Is the cancers emotions a strength or a weakness?
Like, Does the emotions of the cancer help the people around because they feel what they feel and are able to relate?
Or
Does the emotions of the cancer cloud their judgements on their decisions on how to help their friends?
Yes that is the truth, everyone around me thought i was emotionless and how I dont have any then i got pissed off which i hardly never do, and I ran off pure emotions I hate that fact, i view that as a weakness. I like being very introverted. As for what Prince CRAB said, I have too think that only he can truly know the answers to his questions. At the end of the road we all have our fair share of strenghs and weaknesses.
"At the end of the road we all have our fair share of strenghs and weaknesses."
"the reason we have friends, becuz their strengths are there to overcome our weaknesses and vice versa."

You couldn't fix my spelling errors? heh Yea at the end thats how life works.
My supervisor is a Cancer kind've a typical Cancer - business minded has his own small business and self centered although he does look out for me, very guiding and intuitive, I got robbed twice within two months due to working late hours and I had to persuade him that I cannot work after it got dark and he complied and changed my work schedule - he was reticent, defensive and reluctant to do it - he did cave in though and gave me what I wanted - my Taurus mom had to kind've intervene over the phone tell him how anxious mom and dad were about my late night predicament after which my schedule was changed.
