They say the Taurus acts a little like a bull sometimes. Looks a little like a bull to, come to think of it. Is that you? In the corner, pawing at the ground and flaring your nostrils? You might get hot and bothered, but usually you're going to stay right where you are until you have some clear reason to make your move. You keep your manly physique and smoldering eyes out of play, waiting for the kill to come to you... and that's incredibly sexy. Who isn't attracted to the strong, silent type? But that's just outwardly. You're the goods through and through, from your ability to accumulate wealth to your legendary... shall we say, personal skills.
You don't let the little stuff grab you by the horns and yank you around, but you're also not charging at every red scarf waved in your general direction. It's a common misconception about the bull that he has a nasty temper. Actually, it's something more akin to righteous anger. With you, there's no such thing as merely airing a grievance. You'll keep quiet and build a federal case. It might take days, weeks or months, but when you've compiled the evidence, out comes the S.W.A.T. team. Outbursts like these will be not be remembered merely as disputes. They will be compared to acts of god. That very nasty, very public breakup that got going because your ex was flirting/nagging/doing that annoying thing with his lip? It may have been the last straw. That thing that he does with his lip might be very, very annoying, the kind of thing that wears on one's soul after repeated exposure. I understand. But was the California Pizza Kitchen in the mall really the appropriate place to end it? Yeah, they'll be commemorating that one with a candlelit vigil. If you happen to be passing through that day on your way to the Smoothie Hut, you'd do best to keep your mouth shut and leave a generous donation for the victim. It's good karma.
Not that you really need any. You seem to have an uncanny ability to accumulate the fun stuff: money and power. You might take it for granted, but trust me, this doesn't come easy to any old sign. Just ask your local starving Pisces. Different signs like money for different reasons. Your reason happens to be that you like money. It's that simple really. It's the Millionaire Mindset. Money just wants to be loved. Treat it right, and it will love you back. You know that the relationship between a man and his well-diversified stock portfolio can go deeper than... well, you know. Don't get me wrong. You're definitely not going to gamble everything on a stock tip you heard from a guy who was trying to chat you up at a cocktail party, who heard it from his ex-boyfriend's bosses roommate, who swore that Exubera was going to take the world by storm. No, that's not your bag at all. You're a blue chip mutual fund man, and proud of it.
Here's how I think of it: with a dieting metaphor. Bear with me. If you crash diet, do the Beyonce Master Cleanse thing, or the cabbage soup thing... heck, even Atkins, you're guaranteed to loose at least eighty-three pounds in less than seventy-two hours, right? But what's the good if you can't keep it off? They say that weight loss works best when you lose one to two pounds a week. That might be a time investment, but you'll make it if it means that the payoff is being svelte for life. It's the same for everything you value in life. If it's worth getting, it's worth getting right. I've read that Taurans are traditionally farmers, salt of the earth and all that, but I don't buy it for a second. In this modern world of ours, you're comfortable playing power games in the board room, or building your reputation as a freelance graphic artist... the career world is your oyster. Just stay away from sales. The slick talk isn't what you're known for and the insecurity of the job will make you nuts. And we all know where that leads.
So yeah, what I'm trying to say is that you're kind of a stick-in-the-mud sometimes, at your worst even a kurmudgen, cantankerous, obstinate, pig-headed... and my thesaurus is just getting warmed up! Please don't remind me that slow and steady wins the race, buddy. I've heard it all before. But you're not fooling anybody. You like to unwind with the best of them. In fact, be careful. All that dieting you've been doing? It's important to eat, drink and be merry occasionally, but unless you want to be known for your soft underbelly, I'd watch it if I were you. That said, if you know how to make it, you also know how to spend it: on pretty faces and expensive booze. Oh, and things that smell good. Preferably a bedroom buddy who wears expensive cologne (a drug-store knock-off is reason enough to send him packing), but baring that you'll settle for some nice aromatherapy candles. Five hundred thread count sheets, Italian leather couches, and we won't even get into how picky you are about what you wear. Hey, you know what? For being a raging bull, you're kind of a princess.

"Pisces are FAR worse for Cancers. They are too flighty..."
"And scorpio? Are you INSANE (keyword)?"
"Scorpio gets annoyed and pissed off on why you're not ducking him... (Taurus will be more touchy geeky and affectionate...)"
What's even more comedic, Sylver, is that you thought you could describe a Cancer's personality to a real Cancer, who obviously knows about his Cancerian nature and preferences better than a Taurean personality would.
(On a further note, the fact that you would categorize this so-mentioned instinct alongside that of the occult genre and, furthermore, trivialize something that should not be treated as a special interest subject implies to me that you have not truly understood and grasped my message)
Everything else in your post is rather impertinent to my point at hand. Going on this tangent if I must, however, one can easily assume from reading your passage the same assumption you have made about me and Taureans: much of your specific views on these signs could be merely due to your own personal experiences and biases of these signs. I predict that you are either a Taurus pretending to be a Cancer or a Cancer who favors Taurus's very much because of personal biases either due to positive experiences or due to a strong Taurus trait somewhere in your natal chart.
Concluding, I have not claimed that Cancer and Taurus are not good for each other or that they can't get along with each other. I have only mentioned the intuition conflict and that, in this regard, Taurus and Cancer may not always be the most astrologically compatible pair. (There's a difference between not getting along and having personality clashes. Sometimes, the two may resonate with each other, but they are separate entities of their own.)
frankly Pisces are FAR worse for Cancers. They are too flighty and always looking for the next best thing, even when it's slapping them in the face. Then they leave and immediately hop into bed with someone else...then a week later wish they hadn't. (Too late damage done) that's happened with every Pisces I've dated. Although some are more honorable than others, the gist is the same.
And Scorpio? Are you insane? Yeah it's great if all your relationship is built on is sex! Yes good sex, but once hard emotional work comes into play Scorpio gets annoyed and pissed off on why you're not ducking him off on command (Taurus will be more touchy geeky and affectionate which us what cancer craves at times like that) Scorpio will assume you are cheating and want to take revenge...then get defensive when he finds out that Cancer was upset because his childhood dog died. Then Scorpio will blame cancer for forcing him to cheat and cancer will ask, "wait, you cheated on me?" you can guess the rest lol.
Water and Water don't make a swift river...they often make a whirlpool; destructive and draining. Earth and Water make mud...dirty, fun to wrestle in, and soothing for the skin (in certain cases)
From my experience, a Cancer/Taurus combination is supposed to be a mere satisfactory one but not always a comfortable one. Yes, it's fair to say that not every Cancer is like one another, and not every Taurus is like one another. However, there is a consistent pattern in the relationships formed by these two signs that is regular enough to be a representation for this relationship. One of the main differences that I generally noticed that sets the two signs apart is the fact that Cancer is intuitive and Taurus is many things but such; Taurus will generally write Cancer's "feelings" of things and events off and think of them as barely anything more than petty.
A typical scenario would be, Cancer has a "feeling" that something bad is going to happen to something or someone else, be it their relationship, a family member, a future event or someone who he has never met before (but may have vaguely seen in some "vision" or "dream"). Taurus tells Cancer that he's OBVIOUSLY being silly and impractical: as long as there're no "concrete" proof that anything bad's going to happen, he says, it's probably not. While understanding and giving in to this simple rational notion, Cancer still tries to act as much as he can on his intuition to help prevent what he saw in his visionary omen. Now Taurus gets annoyed and, in anyway he can, tries to forcibly stop Cancer from the "nonsense." He succeeds in stopping Cancer. Then, the bad thing that Cancer "predicted" would happen......indeed happens. In the end, Cancer feels guilty for not having been able to stop what he claimed to "know" was going to happen. (What's even more frustrating to Cancer is that, after so many times, Taurus still doesn't usually apologize or outwardly admit that he was wrong about Cancer's predictions when he obviously was)
I think that the unfortunate thing for Cancer is that, it's not easy for Taurus to gain new information from anything other than that given by the 5 senses; to Taurus, Cancer acting on his "visions"/"predictions"/"feelings" is like diving head-first into something vastly unknown which will ultimately lead to inevitable bruises which could have been prevented had the diving not happened in the first place. Having said that, it's probably little wonder why Taurus couldn't help but get turned off and even repulsed by Cancer's less practical, intuitive way of thinking.
Rest assured, both signs can fine consolation in other people who will understand their individual natures completely. Usually, that's Capricorn and Virgo for Taurus and Scorpio and Pisces for Cancer. If the two are going to be in a WONDERFULLY HAPPY relationship together, there's going to be a lot of work and giving in on both ends.
