Lovematch

Taurus and Cancer

When Taurus and Cancer come together in a love affair, it's usually a very good combination. They are two positions apart within the Zodiac, and such Signs tend to share karmic ties and a deep mutual understanding. These particular two Signs have much in common: Both prize security in a love relationship above almost all else; both tend to be nurturers (Cancer is emotionally nurturing while Taurus loves to spoil their lover with sensual delights, gifts and good, rich meals). They're both quite domestic and love a quiet night spent at home with their sweetie.

The Taurus-Cancer partnership tends to be a happy one due to this mutual enjoyment of the security and comfort of home. They love a solid home base, a strong relationship, nice possessions, good food: all the comforts of domestic life. Theirs is often the ideal family that people of other Signs strive for, with strong ties between them and a relationship that is family-oriented rather than toward the outside world. Their only major problems arise when Taurus insists on having its own way and Cancer responds by sulking. Taurus must understand Cancer's emotional sensitivity, and Cancer needs rely on open, honest communication than on emotional blackmail.

Taurus is ruled by Venus (Love) and Cancer is ruled by the Moon (Emotions). Both of these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy. Cancer often keeps emotions bottled up and simmering inside, which can lead to occasional boil-overs. Thus, Cancer is attracted to Taurus's open, honest, unafraid nature. As the Moon controls the tides of the Earth, quietly affecting all life, so does Cancer, manipulating behind the scenes. Cancer tends to be sentimental, and both partners prefer to enjoy each other rather than socializing with large groups.

Taurus is an Earth Sign and Cancer is a Water Sign. Water and Earth are compatible as tangible, physical entities. As a Water Sign, Cancer is born to nurture an Earth Sign like Taurus the way rain nurtures Earth and helps crops grow. In turn, Taurus tends to have a more stable view of life than does Cancer and is less prone to emotional turmoil; therefore, Taurus can help Cancer stabilize their tumultuous feelings. Both Signs must be careful in this relationship, however: Taurus may tire of Cancer's mood swings, and Cancer may in turn feel that Taurus is insensitive to their needs.

Taurus is a Fixed Sign and Cancer is a Cardinal Sign. Taurus has Fixed habits; they won't change an opinion once it's formed. This can provide Cancer with an emotional rock, as Taurus is entirely dedicated to the relationship. In turn, Cancer can bring new inspiration to the relationship and start new projects that Taurus will enjoy taking over later.

What's the best aspect of the Taurus-Cancer relationships? The steady, reliable team they make. Both Signs are dependable and nurturing, strongly oriented toward domestic life together. A mutual love of home and security makes theirs an ideal long-term, family relationship.

A Happy Winter....

I've read several articles the past few weeks regarding the winter flu. Overall, most "experts" stated that in order to be healthy and have a "happy winter", we need to boost our defense against colds and flu. Our immune system determines on whether we're going to get sick or not. Here are a few suggestions:
- Eat Better
- Take Supplements
- Socialize
- Get enough sleep
- Use a humidifier
- Wash your hands
- Exercise daily
- Spend time outside

rain, rain go away....

For the past week or so, it's been raining steadily (on and off). This weekend, with errands to do, I was able to squeeze in a visit to Costco. Rain or shine, Costco is always full. I still need to get some stuff at Target.

Since it's raining, it's a pain to drive anywhere given the road conditions. I ended up doing LOTS of laundry (9 loads to be exact). I still have 3 baskets to fold. I'm exhausted. I'll do it tomorrow or the next day. The good news, the hubby helped me fold some of the clothes. He stated that we should schedule laundry day so that he can help me. He didn't really realize how hard it is to do the laundry. Technically, it's easy. It's just time consuming, especially for one person. I usually end up doing laundry once a month which is very hard.

Manigong Bagong Taon 2005!

Happy New Year!

The Holidays came and went by. Right after Thanksgiving, it seemed like there was not enough time to do anything. Or at least all the things that I wanted to do. There were errands to do, gifts to buy, and events to go to.

This year, God was very good to us and we were very fortunate. As a recap, Neil and I celebrated our 1-year anniversary, Spenser and Yuki also turned 1-year, Neil's company went public, I switches jobs and went back to school. After years of budget gift-giving, we were able to be a little "extravagant" (that means we gave better gifts this year) to our family.

Overall, it was a good 2004.
