Clowns to the left, jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with you.
Earth, wind, and fire — now this is classically one of the more challenging mixes for both zodiac signs because the energies are so very different. However, with the mixture of Venus ruling Taurus and Jupiter ruling Sagittarius, we at least have two of the benefic planets involved. By benefic planets, I mean planets that promise abundance, hope, and happiness, and so there is the potential for this to be a match that can become compatible.
One of the difficulties is that Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, is a very expansive Sun sign, and as a fire sign, it is pioneering, energetic, quite competitive, and always eager to seek new pastures. Alternatively, what we have with Taurus, as a fixed earth sign, is a personality that’s all about stability, loyalty, reliability, and setting down roots — which is in stark contrast to a sign that really wants to expand, keep moving, and constantly experience new things.
For Sagittarius, what’s valuable is what is undiscovered and new, as this is part of their adventurous nature. What’s valuable for Taurus is what is tried, tested, and reliable.
You also have a risky versus a risk-averse sign coming together, so there are plenty of reasons for them to find points of conflict — but also to grow and discover new things that they didn’t know they really liked or could appreciate.
Romantic Compatibility Between Taurus and Sagittarius
Sagittarius needs a partner who is affectionate and who is not shy in coming forward and expressing themselves romantically — and that’s where Taurus is a winner. Taurus is a sociable sign, which is terrific because Sagittarians are fairly outgoing. Taurus has social confidence; they have a fair amount of charm and affability about them. They’re good-humoured and enjoy a laugh, and this is where romance can proceed rather well with Sagittarius.
What Taurus loves in a partner is someone who can take them out of their comfort zones, introduce them to new things, and who is a witty companion with a taste for trying new hobbies and exploring varied interests. Sagittarius never stands still and is always looking for exciting new things to pique their interest, so romantically they are a fairly compatible match, particularly initially.
However, there’s always going to be a clash between old and new — between Taurus’s change-resistant, cautious nature and Sagittarius’s happy-go-lucky, live-for-the-day attitude. Taurus may have doubts about how Sagittarius is going to work out long term — if they really love them and if they’re ever going to commit. Sagittarius may have a few doubts about Taurus, wondering if they’ll tie them down. So, when romance begins to turn into something more serious, they can both get cold feet.
Sexual Compatibility
There is an intriguing chemistry between Taurus and Sagittarius. They can find themselves drawn together in unusual circumstances. They may not naturally resonate with the same friendship groups, but when they do meet, it can feel almost like love at first sight. There’s something powerful compelling them to take the relationship further, even though at first they’re not quite sure exactly what it is they like about each other.
There is a definite sexual appeal between the two of them. Sagittarius is quite drawn to Taurus’s energy when it comes to sexuality because Taurus is sensual and quite grounded. They are very innocent in their expression, and this natural, unaffected nature is what Sagittarius loves.
For Taurus, Sagittarius feels like someone who offers a little bit of excitement and takes them out of their comfort zone. That sense of adventure and being risque is rather appealing. Although Taurus is conservative, sometimes life feels a bit dangerous with Sagittarius, and that can be exciting for them.
Friendship Between Taurus and Sagittarius
The friendship factor is hot and cold in nature, they’re definitely going to have times when they need their space. This is a couple where absence does make the heart grow fonder. If they’re with each other too much, they can begin to grate on each other, but if they can experience periods where they do their own thing, with their own friends and different interests, they can come back together much, much stronger.
Space is something this couple should embrace and never be afraid of. Space will probably concern the Taurus partner a little bit more because they might wonder what the impulsive Sagittarius is up to.
However, another reason they often make good friends is that they have an interest in nature, animals, and also social life, so there are many things they can enjoy doing together. They may enjoy the great outdoors, hiking, and they can definitely inspire each other to be more healthy, to lose weight, and just to be a little bit more active. Fitness goals can also be something that increases the depth of their friendship and helps them bond.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
In the long term, this is a couple who can make a go of things. There are areas of compatibility that make the relationship viable, but in terms of marriage, there are a couple of problems. We cannot get away from the fact that Taurus seeks stability and Sagittarius often suffers from FOMO i.e. once they are in a stable relationship, they begin to wonder what else is out there. They can sometimes feel that the grass is greener elsewhere and Taurus may sense that and feel like Sagittarius has one foot in and one foot out of the marriage.
Taurus, over a long period of time, will want to put down roots, develop strong bonds with the community and family, and perhaps lead a life that is quite conservative. Sagittarius could find this dull. They may want to try living elsewhere, and they may not be as bothered when it comes to other family matters. Over time, they may lack cohesion in terms of values and what truly satisfies and fulfills them.
So, what this relationship needs is an awful lot of compromise and for both of them to grow and develop in ways they didn’t expect to. The biggest hurdle with this relationship is the very different values they have when it comes to money and family, and that can cause difficulty in decision-making, which can ultimately drive a wedge between the two.
Strengths and Challenges
One of the classic strengths of this match is great sexual chemistry and a desire to improve their lives through the sexual arena, and to share affection. It remains an interesting match when it comes to the bedroom.
Another strength is that they are so different, and those differences help them balance each other out. It’s good for Taurus to have someone who’s more fiery, adventurous, and gung-ho in their lives, and it helps Sagittarius to have an anchor, i.e. someone who’s pragmatic, able to draw boundaries, and help them focus their energies. They are good complements to each other.
Another great plus is that they both love things that are natural, healthy, and wholesome. They may enjoy activities surrounding the outdoors, pets, and health and fitness, which is pretty good for the holistic well-being in the relationship.
On the negative side, Taurus can become jealous simply because Sagittarius is a free spirit who doesn’t like to be tied down and likes to follow whims and do their own thing. The Sagittarius can feel possessed and constrained because Taurus likes to plan and have a more predictable lifestyle. Taurus will certainly dislike some of the more risqué Sagittarian activities.
This couple will find it difficult to reach agreement when it comes to money, future plans, and even family planning, because they have very different ways of thinking about life. So, a lot of compromise is needed and over time Taurus may feel that they can’t fully trust Sagittarius, and Sagittarius may feel that Taurus constantly wants to change them.
Final Verdict
My verdict on this relationship is that it has a 60% chance of being successful. This is, to be honest, one of the most difficult matches for both star signs because they are innately so different, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t many things that make this relationship great.
In many ways, they are thrust together by fate because they both have a little bit of what the other needs, and they are going to grow a great deal together. They’re both sociable, upbeat, friendly signs — and that’s great for the friendship side of the relationship. They enjoy many of the same things, and they are pretty down-to-earth people who like to have a laugh, so humour is certainly a part of this.
They communicate well because their zodiac signs are generally quite affable and congenial. However, when they don’t agree, they really don’t agree. They can both be very arrogant; neither likes to lose an argument, and so when they clash, it can be very difficult — because a big dose of arrogance and pride means that arguments can become frustrating, long, drawn-out processes.
Second decan Taurus are best with Sagittarius. Third decan Sagittarius are best with Taurus.
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.
