Taurus Compatibility

Taurus is a Zodiac sign which is connected to stability, affection and security. Being both earth and fixed, Taurus seeks to set down roots, to create consistency, and has a strong grip on reality. Taurus, ruled by Venus and also being a feminine sign, tends to be more receptive, able to take life as it comes, and can sometimes be less assertive or self-directed.

As a Venus-ruled earth sign, Taurus seeks harmony, wants to cultivate productive relationships, and is a very fertile sign in terms of being creative, having an abundance of ideas, and enjoying the good things in life – from good food, good loving, and a social life. 

In astrology, compatibility is all about how signs interact with each other, the positive and negative traits that they stimulate in each other, whether there’s a high level of communication, cohesion in terms of love language, or whether it’s just all about chemistry and sparks flying with a lot of bridges to be built in between. 

While Taurus will always have an affinity with the other earth signs, for example Virgo and Capricorn, sometimes those cosmic relationships lack a little bit of excitement, and Taurus is looking for a hint of spark that they don’t necessarily present, and therefore Taurus actually gels better with the other elements than their own element, as they seek depth and emotional intensity. 

Taurus does gravitate powerfully to the other fixed signs, for example Scorpio, Aquarius, and Leo, because they love the determination and the stubbornness in those signs, recognizing it as something that is reassuring and can be taken to the bank. 

As always, astrology compatibility is a complex art of interpreting different elements. The Sun sign is the beginning, but what’s also important is moon signs to understand family values and emotional compatibility, the interplay of Venus signs to understand how the couple shows and expresses affection and values each other, and Mars signs for the energy and excitement that drives the sexual side of the relationship. The ascendant is also important to see whether each horoscope chart is attracted to the personality and looks of the other. 

Taurus Traits in Love and Relationships 

The key traits Taurus is looking for are security, reliability, and consistency from a partner. They want you to talk the talk and walk the walk. They have a long memory and can hold grudges, so they need a partner who is loyal and lives up to their billing. Taurus communicates logically, and they like a partner who can express themselves without being vague because Taurus doesn’t like to maintain cognitive dissonance.

In dating, Taurus wants to enjoy fine dining and going out as they are a social sign, rather than being a homebody, and they really want a partner who enjoys life. Taurus’ strength in a relationship is also their weakness: Taurus doesn’t quit or give up on love, which can be problematic because they don’t always walk away from a bad relationship, but it’s also positive because once they develop a powerful attraction to someone, they will crawl over broken glass to keep the relationship working. 

Where Taurus is weak is that they suppress anger, they don’t deal with problems as they arise, and this can lead to resentment and explosions of temper that could surprise and shock a partner who thought nothing was wrong. 

Taurus is an affectionate, loving sign. Their love language is both verbal and in terms of gifting, and that creates a lot of joy and certainty in the relationship. 

Most Compatible Zodiac Signs for Taurus 

Taurus and Scorpio 

These signs are at 180 degrees to each other. They complement each other and despite surface appearances, have an awful lot in common. It’s not an easy combination, but sometimes Taurus enjoys the poignancy of drama, and they like a relationship that is intense. Both these signs are committed to the relationship. They show a substantial degree of sexual energy towards each other and are likely to have a very exclusive relationship. They are figuratively partners in crime, where they want to do most things together and this suits them both. They also have the determination to work through bad times and tend to support each other, having each other’s back, which is vital. 

Taurus and Aquarius 

The Taurean and Aquarian energy is very sexy. These sun signs are very often attracted to each other, both intellectually and in terms of chemistry. They can have a rather unusual relationship, and it can thrive long-distance or even begin online because the intellectual spark and curiosity is there from the start. These Zodiac Signs tend to have totally different values, so they are likely to clash on issues of politics or family values, but they are always ready to build bridges and the relationship is very compelling, keeping them both in it even when they feel a bit angry with each other. It’s an exciting match. 

Taurus and Gemini 

These signs are next door to each other. They have a lot in common. What draws them together is that they are both congenial, sociable signs who like to enjoy life, are good at business, want to be prosperous, and work on mutual goals. They are both very logical signs, likely to work through their differences and seek to avoid conflict. 

Taurus helps anchor and ground Gemini. Gemini motivates Taurus, who can sometimes be a bit lazy. Together they can enjoy life and make a go of almost anything. The relationship should be fairly harmonious; the only downside is they may not have a lot of sexual spark together. 

Taurus and Pisces 

This is a pretty happy go lucky match. It’s a very relaxing, laid-back combination. These are both creative signs, with a lot of compatibility in terms of love language, and they will share an enormous amount of romantic excitement. Some people consider this a perfect match because these imaginative signs have a similar way of expressing themselves and usually seek to avoid conflict. The downside is that they can both fall into ruts and may not encourage enough personal growth or ambition in each other. They may be spiritually lazy when together. 

Least Compatible Signs with Taurus 

Taurus and Taurus 

Taurus can definitely get on with Taurus, and a relationship may well develop, but a double dose of earth and stubbornness means this relationship can get stuck in quicksand. These two together double down and often repeat the same mistakes over and over, falling into a passive and counterproductive cycle. They are often not good at arresting things when they’re on the way down because they are both proud and can be arrogant. A large amount of animosity can build up.

The problems are not insurmountable, but one of the bulls needs to have a lot more fire in terms of their moon, ascendant, or Mars. 

Taurus and Virgo 

While Taurus and Virgo, as two earth signs, will find many areas where they are willing to cooperate and agree with each other, the relationship can begin to get very dull and boring. Both can feel unfulfilled as they both tend to sacrifice and could lose sight of their dreams. There’s a mismatch of love languages and they may both take each other for granted, and while the relationship may look good on the surface, both may feel there’s just a lack of passion and spice, which makes the relationship lackluster and too predictable.

Taurus and Cancer 

Many of you may be surprised to hear this, but this match can be a challenging combination. Initially, the relationship has a spark. These star signs are drawn to each other’s personality, want to please each other, and can be very good at motivating each other, or working on projects, and being good friends. However, one argument can sour the relationship. Both have long memories, hold grudges, and fail to let things go. This means they can become bogged down in “he said, she said” and emotional hurts, not willing to forgive, which is where the relationship falls short. 

Compatibility with All Zodiac Signs 

Taurus and Taurus: Low compatibility 

Initially, astrological compatibility is high. They can certainly be friends and naturally fall into a relationship. Over time, the problem is bearing grudges, lack of ability to take control during bad times, development of poor goal setting, complacency, and doubling down when they both really need to break out of a rut. They can fall into perpetuating cycles of negativity.

Taurus and Aries: Medium to high 

A pragmatic, grounding, purposeful combination. There are many points of compatibility even though they are very different characters. The humour, sense of familiarity, and levels of comfort between each other are significant and there is a strong emphasis on values. Being very different in terms of temperament, they compliment each other and aid personal growth.

Taurus and Gemini: Medium comparability

These are talkative signs who communicate well and like to resolve issues amicably. They have a logical and pragmatic approach to life and both love being out and about. They will form a strong circle of friends, are great at making money together, and often offer each other a sense of spiritual acceptance. Gemini loves being loved by Taurus, and Taurus enjoys the vibrant and vivacious Gemini character.

Taurus and Cancer: Moderate to low Compatibility

This is a good match on paper, but in reality, both can be sensitive, defensive, and too eager to cling to resentments. Both Zodiac Signs have long memories and keep circling back to past hurts. The big problem is the inability to let go, which can leave them stuck in the past. Both signs are very nostalgic and feel deeply, which can lead to a sensational romance but also emotional stagnation.

Taurus and Leo: Moderate to high Compatibility

This combination can work. They are certainly attracted to each other and can become great friends, comrades, and allies. They bring out the best in each other. Taurus is encouraging and offers a creative spark that Leo enjoys. Leo has a strong character and, as a fire sign, is assertive, which Taurus is drawn to. However, there can be underlying competitiveness, jealousy, and rivalry over time, which can be a problem.

Taurus and Virgo: Moderate to low Compatibility 

As two earth signs, this pair sees eye to eye on many issues, but they are rarely attracted to each other socially. They may be friends or colleagues but with low desire to elevate the relationship. They work well together in business, but they may feel something’s lacking and experience FOMO due to the lack of intensity and passion.

Taurus and Libra: Medium Compatibility 

These signs are both ruled by Venus, meaning their love languages are compatible. They are creative, romantic signs who enjoy social life, dining, and family events. For dating, this is an excellent relationship. Taurus can capitalize because Libra is more assertive, being a cardinal sign, while Taurus is laid back. However, over time, jealousy and a desire from each to be more controlling can cause friction.

Taurus and Scorpio: High compatibility

This is a combination that is shaken, not stirred. Effectively, it is exciting, and there’s a large amount of passion and an immense amount of animal and chemical attraction between these two. As they are both stubborn and very definite signs, fixed on ideas and perspectives, they may clash, but it’s often the fact that they are so similar that draws them together and creates these arguments. Together, they form a transformative and successful partnership and are often soulmates.

Taurus and Sagittarius: Moderate to low Compatibility 

This is definitely not an obvious match. Sagittarius is risk-loving, free-spirited, and loves change, which is very much the antithesis to Taurus, who seeks security, consistency, and wants a loyal partner that shows them a lot of reassurance and firm commitment. However, they can get along because sexually this relationship can be particularly alluring. Over time, Taurus can tame Sagittarius, and Sagittarius can help Taurus unleash a wilder, more adventurous side, which may be desirable for certain Taureans.

Taurus and Capricorn: Moderate to high Compatibility

I wouldn’t give this particular match a ringing endorsement, because as it sometimes happens, two Earth signs together can be too slow to take up new opportunities and can be very resistant to change. Sometimes they reinforce a certain complacency in each other. However, this match succeeds because they both have an instinct for creating security, they can succeed in business, and they both have powerful sexual needs and a love for art and music, making this a potentially very romantic pairing, even if brittle at times.

Taurus and Aquarius: High Compatibility 

This cosmic combination has a high rate of success. These signs are naturally curious about each other. The relationship tends to develop immediately into a firm friendship, which leads to sexual attraction over time. This astrology relationship can have its issues, as they often have big differences in opinion and values, but there’s always a desire to keep it going. Together, they find the relationship satisfying, rewarding, and hard to match elsewhere.

Taurus and Pisces: Moderate to high Compatibility

These are both highly romantic zodiac signs who really revel in each other’s company as there is an easy-going, laid-back feel to this union, a sense of humour, and strong communication. The friendship factor is a highlight since they enjoy theatre, music, and have a taste for night life and social pleasure seeking. There’ll be a kaleidoscope of activities they can thrive on and enjoy together. 

One of the problems, however, is that they are both a little bit passive, and they may let life pass them by without really attacking opportunities.

Advice for Dating Taurus 

Taurus are pretty laid back and easy-going, and what’s more, they get on with nearly all signs of the zodiac. They have a reputation for being friendly and affectionate. However, you really need to see problems coming down the line because Taurus avoid confrontation, but when they hit their limits, they explode, and it can be quite shocking. So always show them appreciation and gratitude, and don’t push your luck with them, because they will put their foot down at some point, and it’s not always pretty when they do. 

Gifting is certainly a love language of Taurus. You need to be generous with your time and with your money with Taurus. They enjoy the finer things in life, so there’ll be lots of fun, wining, dining, and entertaining. However, another thing you need to know with Taurus is that you have to focus on them. They like the relationship to be strong, united, and they want to know you only have eyes for them. 

In terms of conflict resolution, sooner is better than later. Also, no silent treatment with Taurus. The best way to resolve issues and communicate with them is to be direct and logical. So the number one tip for dating Taurus: be logical and rational in your reactions. They get very frustrated by anything that seems vague or unreasonable. 

Wrapping Up on Taurus Compatibility 

Taurus is the one sign that I would say has a crack at making any relationship with the other 12 astrology signs work. The signs, however, that are most captivating for Taurus are Scorpio, Aquarius, and Gemini, and they also enjoy relationships with Leo and Pisces. The key to love is a high degree of romance, enjoying the sensual pleasures of life together, having good conversations, and looking to sort problems out in a rational way. 

Taurus can be very, very stubborn, which actually makes them a determined partner who’ll stick with relationships through good and bad—so, “’til death do you part.” With a little bit of effort, signs like Sagittarius, Aries, and Libra can be very good matches for Taurus, because there are some complimentary traits that help them bond and find a lot of satisfaction together. Capricorn and Virgo work, particularly if each sign has a good mix of fire in their horoscope charts, otherwise, they can be a little bit passive and complacent together. 

The most difficult combinations are Cancer and Taurus, and one wouldn’t really expect that, but these matches can go down the wrong path, and when they do, it’s very hard to bring it back.
