I’m your Venus, I’m your fire, your desire.
In Taurus and Libra, we have two zodiac signs who share a ruler in Venus, and that means that they are similar in temperament and in their love of things that are harmonious and beautiful. These are quite artistic, romantic signs, interested in serious relationships, and who can be very cooperative and also pragmatic in love.
What Venus also brings to these two cosmic souls is charm, enjoyment of wining, dining, and a fairly social side to their personality. So, will they be attracted? Is there chemistry?
The answer is ambiguous: sometimes there really isn’t a trifecta of affection, love and friendship. Despite the fact that they enjoy many of the same things, and they are “people people,” they aren’t automatically drawn to each other.
Libra are naturally attracted to star signs who are a lot more assertive, ambitious, and fairly direct. Taurus are drawn to people who are also very passionate, charismatic, but who have a sharper edge to them. So, in each other, they may sense someone who is just a little bit too easygoing when they’re both looking for someone a touch more dynamic — and that’s why there’s not an immediate chemistry.
Plus, Taurus, being fixed earth, can be a person who Libra perceives as possibly too rigid or stubborn. Taurus can find Libra, as a cardinal air sign, a little bit too outspoken and bossy. In fact, sometimes Libra asks too many questions, and Taurus may feel put on the spot.
If these two Sun signs start dating, it can be very successful for a while, but overall, I would only give this relationship a 55% chance of success, and I will explore why.
Romantic Potential Between Taurus and Libra
In terms of romance, these two astrology signs will certainly combine to do time honored romantic activities like wining and dining, and they feel rather relaxed in each other’s company. Dating can be quite a lovely experience of togetherness, and initially it feels like smooth sailing.
However, the problem is that there can be a lack of excitement. What Libra wants in romance is someone to shock and surprise them; someone who challenges them a little bit. In a way, the relationship with Taurus can just be a little too comfortable; there may not be enough chemistry or spark.
Alternatively, Taurus like to ease themselves into love, they don’t want to open up too quickly. They can often find that Libra are quite probing. It’s almost like Libra needs to get more out of the relationship, and so they start pushing Taurus’ buttons to see what’s there. Taurus doesn’t always want their buttons pressed, and they can quickly begin to feel uncomfortable if someone goes after their weak areas in a rather direct way.
Libra have an ability to open up a can of worms with Taurus, and that’s not necessarily what Taurus finds especially romantic. When it comes to Libra’s preferences, sometimes Taurus may seem a little too conservative or even pedantic.
Sexual Compatibility
While there’s not an enormous chemistry initially, over time these two can develop a good sexual rhythm. In fact, this relationship suffers from the “midterm blues.” Initially, it’s rather good because of the immediate rapport and the romance and communication are amicable, and they both make each other feel comfortable and needed.
Midterm, there’s a problem because of a lack of excitement. They can get on each other’s nerves, and they can grate against each other. However, if they can survive the midterm blues, over time the sexual arena can be one that they both work quite hard at and are able to improve.
Libra begin to appreciate the Taurus more and more over time, they like the fact that Taurus can relax them. Together, there are always plenty of points of agreement and compatibility. What’s more, Taurus work hard in love — they are prepared to compromise and do things for Libra, and this makes the sexual aspect of the relationship very workable.
Trust develops, and that’s why, in the long term, the sex can be quite good, because it’s based on familiarity and trust, even if it’s not always that exciting.
Friendship Between Taurus and Libra
Now, these two zodiac signs are not necessarily great pals and comrades. Underpinning their personalities are very different styles. They tend to find different experiences fulfilling, and as friends, there’s not always a huge amount of things they enjoy doing together. Plus, they enjoy the company of very different people.
This is a pair that will have different friends, and they will tend to have strong friendships with other people. What this relationship needs to accommodate is the fact that they bond well with friends and will always have powerful friendships outside their relationship.
This is great because it enables them to get the kind of feedback and nourishment that they don’t necessarily from each other. However, it’s also a problem because they are both jealous signs and therefore, while they want friendships, they are always jealous about the friends that each has.
Plus, Taurus does have a problem with being a little bit possessive. Libra likes to have powerful friendships with men and women, and that is a struggle for Taurus to cope with. It can mean that there isn’t the exclusivity in the relationship that Taurus craves.
Sometimes Libra feel that Taurus aren’t assertive enough about showing how much they love them and perhaps even not passionate enough — and that leaves Libra feeling as if something is lacking. That’s why, as friends, there are always points of difference and reasons why they might argue.
Libra and Taurus in Marriage & Long-Term Potential
There is long-term potential for this astrology match because they are different and they bring diverse talents and abilities to the fore. The assertiveness of the cardinal Libra, along with being an air sign, helps keep the relationship moving forward. It provides more drive, ambition, and helps jolt Taurus out of their comfort zones — making sure that they achieve more as a couple.
Taurus, being fixed earth, brings a great deal of practicality to the relationship. They help anchor Libra and give impetus to Libra’s plans. They can work well together because they both enjoy very different tasks, and this is where the relationship is strong. They won’t compete or stand on each other’s toes; they can complement each other.
Where the relationship encounters a hitch is that both are very argumentative. Both Sun signs enjoy debating, and there can be endless arguments and wasted energy over things that aren’t really that important. They tend to understand life in slightly different ways, and that means there will be lots to debate and argue over — but often these arguments get a little bit trivial and pointless.
The other problem is that they can be envious of each other. Taurus envies the fact that Libra has many male and female friends, which makes them uncomfortable. Plus, Taurus don’t always get that consistency in terms of desire from Libra, who can sometimes be a little bit more scattered and cool.
Libra may find Taurus too intense, too demanding, and may feel that whatever they do, it’s never enough. The problem with this couple is that they can exhaust each other, or even stress each other out. Often the relationship can become toxic because of Taurus’ possessiveness, Libra’s flirtatiousness, and because they both tend to be envious of each other personally or even of each other’s professional success.
Strengths and Challenges of the Relationship
This relationship is strong because they are both highly cooperative and conciliatory at heart.
These are Venus-ruled, harmony-seeking zodiac signs that want to be in a relationship, desire to make it work, and are prepared to make the necessary compromises to keep it flowing.
Taurus and Libra are social signs, so they will find plenty that they can enjoy together because they both love socialising, the arts, eating out, and cultivating a family life that is prosperous. Therefore, when they both commit to something, they want to make it work and want it to be a success — and that’s a good recipe for a strong relationship.
Over time, their sex life can get better and better because they become so comfortable and familiar with each other. There’s a significant yet delicate flavour to this relationship, which makes it one that they both become more and more dedicated to as time goes by. So,this pair gets more attached as time goes by — the longer it goes on, the better it is.
On the downside, Taurus can find Libra bossy and too critical, and Libra can find Taurus much too stubborn, arrogant, and intransigent. When Taurus become insecure, they dig in their heels — and Libra often make them insecure because they have many interests and other relationships, and can sometimes be a little bit cold.
Both signs have a problem with envy. There are aspects of the Taurean nature that Libra will begin to envy, and vice versa. They both tend to be very good with people and should have numerous friendships outside the relationship, but this can cause them to drift apart and then the jealousy they both have, tends to become more entrenched.
Initially, there isn’t that much chemistry, which can mean it’s a problem getting this relationship off the ground. The relationship gets better over time, but unfortunately, over time both tend to get more stubborn. These signs are incredibly determined when they decide to dig their heels in, so that means if they are determined to make a go of the relationship, anything is possible. But if their determination means they follow different paths, then they are destined to drift apart.
Final Verdict
Now, despite everything I’ve said about the relationship and its strengths and weaknesses, these two can actually be twin flames. There’s a lot to be learned and gained from this relationship. In fact, karma often draws them together because there are so many lessons they can learn from each other.
This is not necessarily the easiest cosmic match, as I’ve mentioned, there can be a midterm slump where they lose interest in each other and nothing is flowing. There may be problems because both can be so obstinate and determined once they dig their heels in. There are other hurdles to overcome in terms of being jealous star signs, and in terms of Taurus being possessive and Libra wanting more powerful affirmation.
They are not necessarily each other’s ideal match because Taurus can be too passive, and Libra wants a more assertive partner. Sometimes Libra can be too aloof — being an air sign — while Taurus want more dramatic displays of love and more obvious loyalty. That means they do have to work at this relationship.
There’s certainly enough to make the match worthwhile, and over time it can become better and better. They are not necessarily natural friends or partners, so there will always be something missing that they both crave. Alternatively, there’s a lot they will benefit from in this relationship, and they can grow as people.
If they can grow to be what each other wants, they will have truly achieved something in terms of their personal growth.
Second decan Libra match best with Taurus. Third decan Taurus are best with Libra. This has a 55% chance of success.
Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
