Earth Signs Vs Water?

Whats with the Signs under the element of Water? Its funny that the Earth element never really meets the Walter element, but rather be is oppisite like Taurus and Scorpio, I have friends that under the sign of water and had some Exs under that sign and for some reason i keep noticing a pattern of insecureity. as we all know, we bulls are very cautious people by nature, but with people under the element of water take it to a new level, the seem to be on an edge about relationships and in general loyatity. Its like you have to prove your loyalty not once but over and over and over again.But then again we bulls can be or make us look like we are insensitive at times.Idk The question to my rant is have you ever encountered anything like what i am describing and if so how did u manage.

"Its like you have to prove your loyalty not once but over and over and over again"


I'm not so sure about that .. perhaps, it's just on a different level. I know for myself, being water and my husband being earth, at first, he thought much as you did, thinking that he had to prove himself over and over .. when, in fact, he didn't and soon came to realize that what I needed was just different from what he interpreted it to mean. Once he comprehended what loyalty meant to me .. this hasn't been an issue since.

It appears to me that most problems in relationships aren't problems at all .. they are just mis-understandings because people become fixed within their own perceptions and fail to realize that the other person isn't going to process things the same way.

Just my two-cents 🙂

Like I said years ago in this very forum....

earth+water= MUD

there are no other options?!

King Bull, something I've noticed during time spent in a relationship with these two elements, and maybe it's strictly just me and him, rather than all water & earth, however, I've noticed this quality in a very good Taurus friend of mine with the way she treats her husband.

Her & my husband, have a way of overlooking "bad" qualities in their partners, even going to the point of covering up for them, making excuses at times .. deeming it the right thing to do, since to have a relationship with another includes accepting the others flaws and faults. And in theory, this would be the decent thing by means of treatment of another.

However .. there's some people who actually NEED to hear the other's point of view, rather than just seeing a false smile and words of encouragement which allows the continuation of heading in the wrong direction.

So, in terms of making the water person feel secure .. it does for the sake of the partner feeling that someone is standing by them, no matter what (blind loyalty) .. but, it also makes them feel insecure because they sense that something is amiss and thier partner isn't trusting enough to come forth with their views.

Sometimes .. tough love is better than soft love .. and though soft feels better for tender emotions, it's the tough that provides the building blocks to achieve rather than just feel secure in knowing that a wrong path is alright to venture down because you aren't alone.

Kind of reminds me of a thread started on the relationship board about "Men from Mars and women from Venus" .. to just hear soothing words doesn't leave a secure feeling when there isn't any solid reasons WHY. I find this in Virgo's & Taurus .. don't know much about Cappy. They believe that to just overlook qualities are better than addressing them a lot of the times, for the sake of love .. and this isn't always the most effective thing to do when trying to make a water person feel secure.

Of course... considering that these bullshits are personal OPINIONS... Not the FACTS?!

"have you ever encountered anything like what i am describing and if so how did u manage."


Doesn't sound to me as though anybody was asking for facts .. sounds to me that this person is asking for expressing how life-experiences felt.

King Bull - I'm a Virgo and I went through the same thing with a Cancer.

He even wanted me to check in with him when I went to the grocery store in the middle of the day. We weren't even living together. I'm a grown woman so I am NOT checking in with anyone.

We argued about it. It persisted. I didn't want to start changing my behaviour to something unusual because I felt that no matter what there would always be room for error with him and his suspicions of me. It really bothered me because no one had ever suspected or accused me of being unfaithful. I've never been unfaithful to anyone in any way. Never talked or flirted, fantasized, or made plans at all with another man while in a relationship.

When I'm in a relationship I usually have tunnel vision and only see them. I have no interest in even talking with another man no matter how bad things are. I'd rather use my time and energy to see what me and my SO can do with "us".

We eventually broke up, but it wasn't over that. That was just an annoyance and I hoped that if things were stable with us over a longer period of time he would feel more comfortable and trust me. But it didn't get a chance to happen.
