The Taurus/Capricorn combination is usually a harmonious and highly productive one. Both Taurus and Capricorn are earth signs and share a common concern with dependability, grounding, and solid achievement. Both women know that they can count on each other for support, both materially and emotionally. Both women will have the security of knowing that they both will persevere in making the relationship work over many obstacles. Each believes in a relationship that grows and strengthens over time.
The problems that arise between these two women are generally minor, and when they occur are due to the subtle differences between these two signs. The Taurus woman is slow, steady, and self-contained, and unless there is active discord in her environment she is placid, calm, and sure of herself. The Capricorn woman, by contrast, is dynamic and ambitious; she constantly pushes herself to reach some goal. She may feel deep uncertainties about her worth as an individual unless she is meeting her own high-powered standards (and even then she may not be sure). She tends to see life in the most serious and profound light, and when she is not fantically busy, she may spend hours brooding over the darker side of life. The Taurus woman, while her emotions run deep, hates to contemplate the gloomy side of life, and is a creature of spring and of vital, growing life. She needs brightness and cheer around her, and may have a hard time sympathizing with her Capricorn partner's melancholy moods, even though that may be when the Capricorn needs her the most. The Capricorn woman may feel the Taurus is complacent and self-centered.
Another minor problem is that the Taurus may feel that her Capricorn partner is always driving herself and does not know how to relax. The soothing warmth of the Taurus woman can be a balm in a harsh world for the Capricorn woman, if she will only allow herself to enjoy it. The Capricorn will sometimes get impatient with the Taurus' slow-moving ways, and can help the Taurus woman to direct the enormous Taurean resources toward some constructive goal. Outside their personal emotional relationship, these women could get a tremendous amount of work done together. Sexually, these two women can be highly compatible. They both have strong sex drives and are able to feel deep empathy for on another.
