A rock and a hard place
Are Taurus and Taurus a good match? Well, what we have in Taurus is a Zodiac sign that I would say has a concentrated energy — and that’s because Taurus is both a fixed sign and an Earth sign, a modality and an element that are both strongly geared to stability, caution, conservatism, building, and maintenance. So, there is a powerful need in Taurus for strong, lasting relationships.
What’s more, Taurus is a Venus ruled sign. Venus and Earth are a very sensual combination. Taurus, in astrology, is a sign that revels in the senses — that appreciates the good things in life, the flavours that make life so delicious. So, two Taurus together can immediately bond. They both enjoy the consistency, the pragmatism, and the affectionate nature of the other. Plus, Taurus have a good sense of humour; they enjoy many different facets of life — from food to music to socialising — and this creates a lot of harmony and potential enjoyment between them as a couple.
One of the problems, however, is that we are now magnifying both the fixed Earth and the Venus element, which can all be incredibly passive, possibly lazy, or even complacent. This means the relationship can become rooted to the spot. They say that a tree with deep roots cannot be easily blown over — and that’s true of a Taurus–Taurus couple — but being totally resistant to change can lead them down a wrong path that they struggle to get off of.
It really helps if one of them has a fiery Moon, a prominent Mars, or a lot more cardinal energy in their Moon sign or Ascendant.
This relationship has a 65% or more chance of success.
Romantic Compatibility
Taurus don’t want to waste their time in love. Taurus crave companionship, they like a partner with whom they can share affection and enjoy life. So, they’re looking for a partner to complete their life and share meaningful experiences with, and therefore the emotional bond with another Taurus is likely to be a powerful one.
There should also be a lot of physical attraction because two Venus signs are sensual — they strongly identify with each other and are alike in very important ways, which means they don’t really have to explain themselves. Their energy levels are quite consistent, and therefore attraction is powerful.
The essence of two Taurus together is quite vitalising and ego-affirming, but the big problem here is one of the weaknesses Taurus have — jealousy or possessiveness. When they’re together, these traits can be magnified. While initially it can be an advantage that they solidify each other’s ego, if things begin to go wrong and one of them is having a rough patch, it’s very easy for the other partner to begin to feel insecure. This insecurity will fuel feelings of jealousy and create a lot of possessive or controlling responses that could further undermine the relationship.
They like going out as they’re social, but they also like being at home and pottering around the house. Taurus are easily pleased and can get joy from a variety of different things, making it simple for them to enjoy dating and express affection as a pair. They will generally feel comfortable in each other’s company; both are fairly expressive and down to earth, and Taurus are of course easygoing – mostly. These are all wonderful things that make the initial phases of the relationship quite seamless.
However, one of the problems can be a little bit of laziness and complacency, where they may take each other for granted. Often, people-pleasing takes relationships down the wrong path because they may not take time to put in boundaries or really assert what they need — which, over time, leads to resentment.
Sexual Compatibility
Affectionately and romantically, this really works. They can certainly feel physically comfortable with each other, and that means they are both confident about the sexual side of the relationship taking off.
But will it be going stellar or not? One of the reasons why sexually the relationship doesn’t always have the zing they’re both looking for is because both can be fairly cautious and uninventive. In fact, they might neglect the sexual side of the relationship — or maybe they’re both too eager to enjoy it at a superficial level, with no desire to make it more interesting, intriguing, or adventurous.
Sometimes Taurus can even be a little bit shy or lazy about sexual matters, and they may not even feel it’s the most important part of the relationship. However, if they don’t have that physical intimacy and a lot of touching, one or both could begin to feel inferior about their bodies.
It’s so important for the sexual side of the relationship to be solid and fulfilling, or one of them may begin to have hang-ups about their weight or physical appearance — and then they can become quite unhappy or even angry. So, both partners have to continue to feed each other compliments and bond strongly and intimately — doing things like massages, using aromatic oils, and keeping that physical connection alive, even if it’s not necessarily sex itself.
Friendship Between Two Taurus
Taurus often get to know each other romantically through being friends. There is great platonic friendship potential and an immediate rapport between Taurus and Taurus. They are inclined to social situations, and Taurus are natural companions for each other because they are both sensible, pragmatic, and charming communicators, as well as being able to enjoy life and make the most of any circumstances.
However, two Taurus together can sometimes cultivate a sense of competitiveness — there may secretly be a little bit of envy going on. Taurus can be quite acquisitive; if one gets a brand-new car, for example, that might make the other feel a little bit inferior.
It’s very important, if there’s a mismatch in terms of power or money, that one isn’t harbouring some resentment or secret envy. This match works much better if they are evenly matched in terms of status and money. Where they are not evenly matched, one may start feeling like they’re living in the other’s shadow — and over time that’s very undermining for a Taurus, influencing how they react in the relationship.
Taurus have a slight tendency to keep score, so if they feel that they weren’t supported or appreciated, they might withdraw their support. This can precipitate a cycle where each withdraws in retaliation — which becomes frustrating and may eventually lead to arguments or coolness.
Taurus can be argumentative; they don’t like to be wrong and they don’t like to admit defeat. This means that when they disagree, it’s very hard to find middle ground. Taurus also have very long memories and can be unforgiving, meaning that when mistakes are made, one or both are likely to keep bringing it up — getting stuck in the past.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
With two Earth signs ruled by the planet of love, one would expect this relationship to be long-lasting — and in many ways, it is, for better or for worse.
However, sometimes two Taurus can be too stubborn to admit there are problems. They can be particularly avoidant, and while they are stoic and hardworking, a certain fear of making radical change can mean they get caught in a rut. The relationship becomes a trap that spirals downwards simply because they keep doing more of what isn’t working.
The biggest problem with Taurus and Taurus together is not the durability of the relationship but that it can stagger along with both partners suffering for much longer than necessary, simply because they don’t know how to address problems — and both fear making things worse.
Sometimes, radical intervention is needed from a third party or even fate to jolt the relationship into a better place.
Another problem in marriage is bottling things up. Both are inclined to people-please and push problems to the back of their minds. They like to get on with things, but this means problems linger, and resentment builds up.
On a positive note, they are very good at weathering storms. They’re good team players who stick together and work hard to resolve problems. Financially, they can be a prosperous couple because both enjoy saving for the nice things in life. Since both of them know how to enjoy themselves, the marriage should always have a certain joy — even when times are tough.
They are both inclined to want to possess each other and although possessiveness is usually toxic, two Taurus could perceive it as the loyalty and attention they crave.
Strengths and Challenges
The strengths in this match lie in their durability and tendency to tough it out rather than quit.
This relationship also has its fair share of joy, prosperity, and good times, because Taurus have a great appreciation of the little things in life and tend to always find a positive. They can enjoy both home life and nightlife, so life has a good balance.
They are both sociable, affectionate signs who prefer harmony over strife — so they will both tend to put themselves out to create an environment that’s stable and happy. Taurus have a reputation for being lazy, but when it comes to relationships, and when something’s worth it, they’re prepared to invest in it, put in the hard work, and reap the dividends.
On the negative side, two Taurus together can be avoidant and stubborn, which means they resist advice, ignore things they don’t want to acknowledge, and can be arrogant. This arrogance often keeps them stuck in destructive cycles.
Jealousy can also be a problem. It’s important they feed each other emotionally — give compliments, share in each other’s successes and failures — because jealousy can easily creep in.
A key issue is people-pleasing and not setting appropriate boundaries, meaning one or both can end up feeling used, underappreciated, or emotionally exhausted.
Final Verdict
My final verdict on Taurus and Taurus is that the success rate for this relationship is around 65%. It could be higher simply because they are both social, affectionate, easygoing, and quite compromising. They are pragmatic and want to work on problems in a reasonable way, and they have a good communication style that helps resolve conflicts.
Where the relationship fails is in their double dose of conservatism, stubbornness, and security-seeking — which means the relationship is not adaptable and doesn’t respond well to change. When crises hit, it’s very hard for them to resolve things because they keep doubling down on what doesn’t work.
Another major problem is arrogance and argumentativeness — both like to be right and have the final word, which means arguments can worsen rather than help clear the air. Grudge-bearing and slowness to forgive are also issues.
This relationship can definitely be exciting, but they certainly need to work harder at ringing the changes and being more inventive.
