Taurus Compatibility with the Other Zodiac Signs

In zodiac and astrology, many differences come from various factors that govern the 12 distinct signs. There are four different elements (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water), three different qualities (cardinal, fixed, and mutable signs). There are also corresponding planets (Mars, Venus, Mercury, Pluto, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune with the Sun and Moon) thrown in for good measure. All these factors directly influence the different ways the zodiac signs interact with each other, how they behave, and how they are judged. That being said, there is one defining characteristic that can be found in all of the signs: the representation of polarity: positive or negative, inward or outward, impassive or expressive, introvert or extrovert. Though it might not be accurate, each sign's telltale characteristic can be regarded as the simplest way to determine a sign’s basic traits. Particularly, Taurus falls under the most accurate personality polarity – negative. Being on a negative polarity does not mean that Taurus is doomed to be a pessimistic person; in fact, the sign is considered one of the most inwardly positive signs of the zodiac astrology. Taurus – The Bull Individuals are who are born between April 21 to May 20 are under the zodiac sign of Taurus. Astrologers consider this sign known as “The Bull” to be a “fixed” sign for cardinal qualities because the period it falls into is the freshest of the seasons when the Earth is most green and fresh. This means that Taurus has stability, is very resistant to change, and tends to take things slow and enjoy the company of friends and acquaintances. Taurus is well known for being inwardly peaceful, patiently grazing about and minding its own business unless otherwise bothered, which will then cause it to maim and rampage, just like a taunted bull. There are many allusions to the Bull in Greek Mythology: it is commonly associated as being the bull Zeus took the form of when he abducted Europa. It is also known to be derived from the Minotaur, a wild beast trapped inside the Labyrinth and slain by Theseus. It is also known as the Cretan Bull, which was made famous by being part of the Twelve Labors of Hercules. Being a sign ruled by the planet Venus with Earth as its corresponding element, Taurus is known to be very sensual. They are also very slow to anger because of their known stability and inner peace. However, they can also become very possessive at times. Since individuals born under this sign are known to be “bull-headed,” they will not stop until they achieve a certain goal in mind, no matter what it is and who they step on. This stubborn nature would be their undoing. Although very sensual, they are also known to be the quietest and gentlest people among the horoscope signs. They are also very soft-spoken but very much aware of their own actions because of their inward knowledge. Earth is the defining element of Taurus. As with the other earth signs (Virgo and Capricorn), this sign is said to be both sensual and practical (probably where the term “down to earth” originated from). Earth signs are also known as being associated with fertility. That is why, during the Grecian times of the gods and the goddesses, The Bull is one of the strongest symbolic images of fertility. Venus is known to be the governing planet of the sign of the Bull. Venus’ influence on the sign is mainly through creativity, as people born under Taurus are known to be very creative individuals. They are known for their outward creativity, but they mainly express all of their creative talents by coordinating with themselves. As with all the zodiac signs, Taurus also has its agreements and disagreements with the other signs. The chart below is based on the Sun-sign compatibility, which stresses Taurus's compatibility to the other signs under the earth element (Capricorn and Virgo). Taurus is also quite compatible with most of the signs governed by the water element (Cancer, Pisces, and Scorpio). The other signs (Aries, Sagittarius, Gemini, Leo, Libra, and Aquarius) are deemed to be incompatible based on the Astrological discipline known as synastry: Taurus is also known to have variable compatibility with its own sign, most probably since it is a sign known for its stability and enjoyment in other people's company. However, as mentioned earlier, Taurus's biggest downfall is being extremely stubborn, and a relationship between two stubborn individuals might not work. Taurus and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Variable The similarity between two people in a relationship born under Taurus's sign is strong since they are both sensual in nature. When it comes to physical attraction, these two are considered a perfect match. They can understand each other’s quirkiness and need for warmth. The bull usually grazes as soon as the action is finished, and that is what they both can relate to with each other: their need for personal time and inward reflections. Out of all the zodiac signs, these are the two signs that can relate to each other’s need for stability and balance. They can be very cautious, and both are looking for security. Because of these qualities, a Taurus couple can be one of the most relaxing and cozy couples to watch and observe because of their slow and purposeful nature. Unfortunately, those same traits can also be the cause of the breakdown of their relationship. Because of their passionate nature and need for constant security, Taurus can be overly possessive and jealous. They might need to reinforce each other now and then, but another thing that might hinder this is their stubborn nature. Neither will let the other totally rule, and they will never give in on any argument. Also, they might be the most boring individuals ever to be together because of their constant need for stability and affection. They keep on hinging on stability, resulting in the lack of adventure or trying new things, which might end up being monotonous in the long run. Since they are a very conservative lot, they will find it extremely strange if their partner tries something new for the first time, as a Taurus will rarely do anything out of the ordinary. Having said that, this might be one of the most traditional couples, and their relationship can certainly work, especially since they already know what makes each other tick. As long as one of them is willing to give way to the other, this pairing can definitely reach new intimacy and sensuality levels. Virgo and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Highly compatible Compatibility between Taurus and Virgo is considered to be the highest out of all the zodiac astrology combinations. Both of the signs are not only related by their Earth elements; they are also governed by the same planet, which is Venus. Both of these signs are highly compatible with each other because they have a lot of common ground. Both of the signs want a very successful and workable relationship, and when it comes to love, both wish for security and safety. Whatever Taurus needs, Virgo can surely deliver, especially when bringing peace and stability in a relationship. Among the most highly respected traits that a Virgo has are faithfulness and loyalty, which the Taurus completely appreciates and respects. Apart from these, both signs are also considered materialistic, practical, and realistic. The Virgo’s sharp intellect powerfully attracts the Taurus. Although they are very similar in traits and qualities, temperament might be a different matter altogether. When it comes to certain traits, the Virgo can have a great deal of patience, but the Taurus can be quite stubborn at times. The Taurus tends to nitpick over small details, and one of those things is the tendency of the Virgo to be free and open-minded. This fact is not well-received by the Bull, no matter how well-meaning the intention is. Nevertheless, Virgo can still very much sway a Taurus into a very fruitful and long-lasting relationship. Capricorn and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Highly compatible As with Virgo, Capricorn is also an Earth sign, which means that it displays the same practicality and penchant for earthly things as a Taurus. Both signs are also very realistic and ambitious, which results in a lot of dreams shared. When it comes to any financial concerns, nothing can ever beat this combination. Since both are very adept in handling finances, they can keep each other secure and stable, which is crucial for both signs. Of all the zodiac signs, both of these signs live off of each other and consume each other’s strengths and weaknesses. The Taurus makes sure that the home is secure and cozy, searching for stability while providing one at the same time. In contrast, the Capricorn strives hard to provide and be recognized with his or her efforts to make sure that their finances and material needs are covered and well taken care of. Cancer and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Compatible Cancer is a highly emotional horoscope zodiac sign, which often means that they can be very clingy when it comes to relationships. With that being said, this might not pose any problem and uneasiness to the Taurean because they are also very naturally possessive. Both are very conservative in nature, which means that they can be quite traditional when it comes to particular matters. The Taurus needs security and attention, which the Cancer can happily and willingly provide. The main drawback of a relationship between these two signs is that they have a very high tendency to cling to each other no matter what they do and where they go. Scorpio and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Compatible Scorpio is generally considered to be the opposite sign of Taurus. Scorpio is also said to have variable compatibility with Taurus, despite their one obvious common trait: possessiveness and jealousy. Both are considered to be extremely possessive of each other, but while a Taurean can easily control their emotions more effectively, a Scorpion cannot. The needs of the Taurus are simply less complex; the Scorpio, however, can be quite needy at times. The Scorpio can be very demanding when it comes to the relationship, a fact the Taurus might find a bit upsetting since it is in their nature to be very calm, relaxed, and detached, needing personal space whenever they deem it necessary. Pisces and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Compatible There are noticeable differences on the outset when it comes to a Piscean and a Taurean, and it is the way they handle emotions and feelings as well as how they express them. The approach of a Taurus when it comes to emotions is that they want clear and tangible results. They want it in its simplest and purest form, and they would rather prefer a straightforward approach to anything if they can have it their way. On the other hand, a Pisces can be somewhat eclectic and open to other alternative ways or options, which can be very disconcerting to a Taurus. Fortunately for both signs, they do have a strong common ground in being very peace-loving and easy-going. They also complement each other in their distinct own ways: The Pisces needing the dependability and practicality of the Taurus because of their nature of being dreamers. The Taurean needs the imagination and unpredictability of the Piscean because of their warm affection and love for stability. Aries and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Incompatible The primary difference between Aries and Taurus is their approach when it comes to opportunities: the Arian prefers to go full-on with anything and if given a choice will often grab the opportunity and act as soon as possible; the Taurean, on the other hand, will prefer a more relaxed approach and would want to understand any situation to its fullness before acting. More often than not, the problem mainly arises when the Arian fails, and the Taurean might react with a very smug attitude. The Aries also has a tendency to be impatient and may become furious with the attitude of Taurus to chill a bit and take things a little slowly. One wants things to be done immediately while the other plans for the future. Gemini and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Incompatible No one in all of the signs of the zodiac loves constant change and motion more than Gemini. This trait can be quite problematic when dealing with Taurus, who prefers things to be slow, stable, traditional, and fixed. This strong contrast is somewhat the main cause of a complicated relationship between the two signs. People under Gemini's sign are generally free folk who hate to be tied down, a trait that can clearly be frowned upon and rejected by the Taurean, especially since this provokes their possessive nature. Gemini sometimes might misjudge and downplay the seriousness of Taurus. Even though Taureans are very gentle and laid-back folk who seem to prefer quiet over adventure, they also have their own creative, adventurous side, which might surprise the Gemini if they stay still and pay close attention to the needs of the Taurus. Sagittarius and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Incompatible Sagittarius is notorious for being risk-takers and is very outgoing in nature. They believe that opportunities are all around, and they have the belief that there are greener pastures out there, something that the Taurus can never relate to. Being a creature of stability and security, the Taurus’ needs are basic and simple, which may, in turn, confuse the need for growth that a Sagittarius needs. Taureans are basically creatures of habit and may never understand the need for adventure that a Sagittarius will always be looking for. More often than not, the restlessness and the constant need to go out and travel may be off-putting to a Taurus, who usually prefers to stay inside the cozy comforts of their own home. Libra and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Incompatible The biggest difference between these two signs is the way they handle relationships, especially the way they approach situations. Libra is a very intellectual sign, which makes them more often than not treat their relationship with a more intellectual approach. On the other hand, the Taurus prefers a more practical way of handling things, making sure that they are comfortable with themselves first before dealing with the needs of a Libran, which usually involve words of adoration and approval. The Libran also needs a lot of interaction, which Taurus may be too lazy to provide because they tend to be self-satisfied. Leo and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Highly Incompatible The need for attention and interaction of a Leo can be a problem if ever a Taurus does decide to be in a relationship with them. Leo always wants to be the center of attention, and their outgoing nature might mean that they want to get this outside of the comforts of the home, a trait that might offend or trigger the possessive nature of the Taurean. Although both signs do value loyalty, both go in completely different directions in handling situations. Leos also have their own brand of stubbornness, especially since they always want to be right no matter whose opinion they are challenging, which will never go easy on the natural obstinacy of a Taurus. One thing that might not be working against both signs is their need for loyalty because they treat long-term relationships as very sacred and important. Nevertheless, the need for constant compromise might strain the relationship, especially if one does not give in to the other's needs. Aquarius and Taurus compatibility COMPATIBILITY – Highly Incompatible Aquarius and Taurus are the opposite of stability: Aquarius individuals, being very intellectual in nature, always try to find new challenges in life and will more often than not try to find new concepts based on old traditions. Taureans, on the other hand, are terrified of the idea of change. Being creatures of habit, they would rather stay in their comfort zones, especially in situations where they need to feel secure and stable. The need for constant challenges and creating new things drives the Aquarius to achieve new heights, a thing that might boggle the mind of a Taurean. Aquarians will always be attracted to shiny and new things and will go to great lengths to satisfy their desire and need, while a Taurus will always take the “tried and tested” road, one which will always provide them with a sense of security and peace of mind. Moreover, Aquarians also have this unique tendency to be open and share their feelings as much as possible. Simultaneously, the Taurus will often prefer to be left alone in their thoughts, choosing solitude and inner peace over interaction with others.
