Two signs apart, 60° (a sextile): a friendly, easy aspect. Conversation flows, and the bond grows wherever both of you make an effort.
The elements
Earth and water are friendly elements. In the classical scheme fire and air are both active, earth and water both receptive, so each of you supports what the other is trying to do, and the bond tends to feel natural.
In love
In love, Taurus is loyal, sensual and slow to commit; it loves through touch, food and constancy, and fears change.
In love, Cancer is tender, protective and deeply attached; it needs security, family and a partner who makes a home with it.
Counsel
Hold on to what is good, but let go of what has stopped growing.
Do not let old hurts close the shell; feel, then let go.

What this comparison can and cannot say
This compares only the Sun signs, as the old almanacs did. A real comparison of two people, called synastry, reads both whole charts: the Moon, Venus, Mars and the Ascendant often matter more than the Sun. Read this as a first sketch, not a verdict.
