The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

TAURUS THE BULL



APRIL 22 to MAY 22







Taurus is the Second Sign of the Zodiac, represented by the Bull which is prized for strength and stamina. The Egyptian Horus was the Bull of Heaven and a white bull was sacrificed in Babylonia at the time of the New Year to placate Ramman, the God of Thunder and Lightning. Taurus peacefully tends and nurtures Spring's garden, bringing forth harmony from chaos. Like the Bull, Taurus does not move unless there is something worth moving for. Taurus likes to keep a firm hand on possessions and nothing makes this Sign happier than secure material prosperity. Taurus craves the good things in life. Dominated by the romantic Planet of Venus, Taurus is deeply loving with strong values, but can be slow to make decisions. Earthbound with worldly goals and in tune with nature, Taurus is the most reliable and faithful Sign of the Zodiac. In essence, Taurus governs practicality and security.

The symbol...or glyph...of Taurus represents the horns and head of the bull. It is the Sign of the Builder. The glyph also outlines the chin and Adam's apple of the human throat (the part of anatomy over which Taurus rules). Symbolically, the glyph is a half-moon forming a cup which rests on the circle of the Sun. The cup represents material power and wealth derived through the force of will (represented by the circle). In Vedic Astrology, this glyph is representative of the Divine Spirit with the crescent above being symbolic of the flowering or blossoming of Spirit in its process of materialisation.





Also known as the Sign of the Producer or Builder, Taurus is Negative in polarity (as are Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces). The general characteristics of Negative Signs lean toward introversion and prefer to draw upon personal resources rather than look for external stimuli. Such individuals are naturally more receptive, sensitive and nurturing than are the Zodiac Signs of Positive polarity (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius). However, Negative Signs are also likely to be much more cautious, retiring and standoffish than their Positive counterparts with a tendency to keep personal feelings under tight control. Taurus is the most introverted of the Negative Signs (with Virgo a close second).



All Zodiac Signs governed by the Elements of Earth and Water are considered to be Feminine in nature. Thus, Taurus (ruled by earth) is considered Feminine (as are Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces). Feminine Signs are traditionally conceived as being more receptive and less active than their Masculine counterparts which are ruled by the Elements of Fire and Air (the Zodiac Signs of Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius). Feminine Signs focus primarily on the emotional and material world with particular attention to sensitivity and depth of feeling. Feminine Signs are said to be noctural or night-oriented. Therefore, the term "feminine" should be viewed in the same light as the Yin (or dark) Polarity of the Tao.



Taurus is the natural ruler of the Second House of the Zodiac, commonly referred to as the "House of Material Possessions" and known in Vedic Astrology as the "Gate of Hades." This is the field which challenges an individual to define and refine his or her personal sense of values. The things and qualities that a person treasures, cherishes and enjoys are to be found here. This is the area of personal security and gain...money, employment, possessions and life's simple pleasures, as well as its luxuries. The Second House is concerned with ethics, morals, integrity and priorities...what an individual "stands for" and what influences that individual's choices in life. In addition to personal values, this house is traditionally associated with inner and outer talents and resources. The Second House is governed by the Planet Venus (which is also Planetary Ruler of the Seventh House).



The opposite sign to Taurus is Scorpio. From Scorpio, Taurus can learn to recognize the needs of others. Thus, can Taurus natives gain insight not only into the motives of others, but also into their own.



Positive Traits: practical, reliable, patient, persistent, determined, strong-willed, solid, affectionate, warm-hearted and trustworthy with a firm sense of values

THE FEMALE TAURUS



The Taurus woman will always be attractive since she retains her bloom for many years and never fails to take care with her appearance. An excellent home-maker and hostess, this female knows exactly what she wants in a material sense. However, she is not always very wise in the philosophic area. Still, this woman learns quickly and with experience, becomes a valuable asset to any partner who places a successful relationship high on the list for happiness. There are certain to be ups and downs with a female governed by this Sign. Although she is capable of loving in a whole-hearted fashion, she can, if provoked, be very contrary and resentful. However, as a life partner, she will be faithful and true since, from an early age, she is a firm believer in the "one and only" type of love. Even if this female becomes disillusioned later in life and her ideal appears to have been crushed, she will hold fast to her vision of a one mate commitment. In turn, she will demand absolute fidelity. Despite her repeated attempts to dominate, this is a woman who truly wants her partner to be the boss. Indeed, if the female governed by Taurus is allowed to assume leadership of the relationship, then all respect for the mate will doubtless evaporate. In short, however much this woman likes to grumble, she secretly adores to be ruled since it makes her feel protected. It will be necessary to allow the Taurus female a certain amount of freedom to spend as she wishes...and it would be wise to let her do so since she is never wilfully extravagant and generally very careful with money. As a mother, this woman is excellent. She sees to her children's physical needs, minsters to their aches and pains, comforts them and always stands ready to help them. Still, she is not necessarily tolerant if they should step out of line or attempt to express their own personalties in ways of which she does not approve. Nonetheless, she possesses a magnificent sense of humor where her children are concerned although it is said that the Taurus female is a better mother to boys than to girls.

Perhaps the most devoted and dependable woman of the Zodiac in the sense of a long-term commitment, the Taurus female will endure extreme hardship rather than abandon a partner. She will always be satisfied with her mate's efforts on her behalf...and such efforts are likely to be rather ambitious since the Taurus woman is usually quite a pushy character in a somewhat secret way. This is a female who appears to be calm, reserved and everybody's friend, but beneath that sedate composure resides a great deal of jealousy along with the desire to possess the rich things life has to offer. Affectionate and demonstrative, the female ruled by Taurus has a determined and persistent streak. Although she prefers to give the impression that she is dependent, she is perfectly capable of helping herself if the need arises. When given the opportunity to reside in a luxurious home, this woman delights in showing off her truly wonderful house-keeping abilities and her gracious social charm.





TAURUS inner self



Strength is the predominating feature of those born under the sign of Taurus. With that strength, however, comes a firm-set nature which is difficult to change. The influence of Venus (this Sign's ruling Planet) makes for an emotional character, fraught with primitive urges, but one which can be sympathetic as well as strong-willed. Taurus natives tend to be won over through emotion rather than reason. Calm, reliable and patient, the the Taurus individual is sometimes accused of being boring and stubborn beyond belief, but those born under the jurisdiction of this Sign can withstand burdens which would knock less stable personalities totally off-balance.

Taurus subjects are opportunists, but have a tendency to accept whatever comes along instead of actively seeking it out. Such individuals absorb ideas and easily retain them, due in large part to the remarkable memory so often associated with persons ruled by this Sign. Being practical-minded, they plan ahead and usually carry their purposes through to the finish. However, by that time, those governed by Taurus are usually quite convinced that any ideas they may have borrowed were actually spawned exclusively from their own minds. The instinct of the Taurus nature is counter-balanced by an ability to acquire knowledge. Occasionally, these faculties are combined and occasionally, they operate independently. In either instance, the ensuing sense of understanding is not only deep but also long-lasting. Those born under the influence of this Sign are well-liked and make for the best of friends. Their generosity is genuine and when they acquire money, they are liberal with their wealth...particularly to those of whom they are fond. This is basically due to the Taurus appreciation of creature comforts. Such individuals seek the best, not only for themselves, but also in order to share with others. Taurus natives count among the Zodiac's most excellent hosts and hostesses. The taste of the Taurus personality, however, is often quite simple...games, outdoor sports and activities, or anything dramatic or artistic is apt to satisfy the Taurus subject far more than any luxury or ostentatious display.



Although money-conscious, Taurus individuals are far from mean. They also have a tendency to gravitate toward things of lasting beauty. Many people ruled by Taurus become expert and assiduous collectors of antiques...furniture and books, for example, but truly all things that craftsmen have created through the ages. Material objects are dearly loved by Taurus subjects, but not so much for their monetary value as for a certain patina of worth...a priceless lovableness which is evident in line, texture and color. In short, the eye of Taurus is always focused upon beauty for beauty's sake. To a Taurus native, his or her own interests will usually come first, but this individual will be big-hearted once such has been achieved, and may go "all out" for another any time the emotions become aroused. Although slow to take action, the Taurus nature, once stirred, is able to overcome almost any obstacle and opposition is likely to arouse the Taurus native to unreasonable fury, during which friendships and promises may easily be thrown to the wind.



Those born under the influence of Taurus should strive to be slow to anger and work to curb the stubborn and self-willed nature inherent in the character, which is often stirred by jealousy or prejudice. Taurus individuals should never make decisions when excited or when overly-sympathetic to the viewpoint of another. The honest opinions of this Sign are at their best when properly weighed. Due to the Taurus native being normally faithful and trustworthy, his or her own strength can sometimes become the chief weakness.



In business, the practical mind of Taurus is suited to constructive fields. Success is frequently found in all mechanical areas...engineering, building and contracting. The sustained efforts of Taurean subjects are well-suited to chemistry and research...some have became famous explorers. Often mathematically-minded, Taureans individuals are capable cashiers and accountants and in such areas, once the trustworthy nature of this Sign is recognized, he or she may rise to a high position in financial circles. Taurus natives make for good teachers, due to their natural sympathy, and their artistic ability usually leans toward the practical side...photography, design and landscape architects, for example. Those who fall under the jurisdiction of Taurus tend to work best when inspired by others, especially those whom they love. Capable of appreciating authority and working to set specifications, the Civil Service is also a good career choice for these natives. Dogged persistence is the particular mainstay of Taurus and such an individual will not be swayed from that upon which the heart is set.



Being both artistic and practical, no matter how powerful the Taurus imagination or artistic sense might be, such individuals will always have their feet firmly on the ground in a most reassuring way. The great Taurus pertinacity and fixity of purpose is often directed toward one goal..or should be...for such is the only manner in which these individuals can become successful. Although often mild and happy by nature, Taurus subjects are especially sensitive to slights or rebuffs but, even under such circumstances, is likely to be slow to anger. Nonetheless, potential enemies should take caution...once the Taurus ire has been roused, then this Sign can be unforgiving and extremely bitter. Taurus battles are almost always open ones since those who are governed by this Sign are virtually incapable of engaging in deceit or complicity.



The Taurus individual will never be driven, only coaxed or led gently by the nose...such is the key to successful Taurus behavior. It is unwise for these natives to quarrel or get drawn into bitter disputes because it will be at that point everything begins to go wrong. Those who fall under the jurisdiction of Taurus should cultivate the talent of listening or summing up carefully and judging through experience. Only then, if the advice is deemed to be fair and good, should this native appear to be safely led...even if the decision is secretly that of the Taurus individual in question. Subtlety will aid natives of Taurus more toward success than "bulldozing" and such subtle behavior should be carefully cultivated.



The secret fear of Taurus subjects is that they will be left wanting, or that they will be disturbed. This is the most reliable and faithful of Signs, being one of the builders of the world and capable of bringing long-term plans to a successful fruition.







TAURUS: Love and Compatability



Taurus natives are deeply romantic and very loyal souls who value the harmony that a happy home life creates. They will go to any extremes to keep a loved one happy and no sacrifice will be too great in accomplishment of that goal. It is the nature of a Taurus individual to need the good life and that need is reflected in the desire to share such a life with someone special. In a sexual sense, Taurus is straightforward and down-to-earth. Those governed by this Sign prefer a non-nonsense approach and too much verbalizing or complex fantasizing is not a Taurus trait. This is not to say that Taurus natives are incapable of feeling love. Indeed, the depth of passion here may not be understood by others and music...or other forms of sensual expression that are non-verbal...invariably strikes a chord in the nature of a Taurus person. Extremely faithful to friends and family, the Taurus native prefers long-lasting relationships and will seek to build strong alliances, although he or she can be misled by the inherent sensual make-up, particularly when young. Longevity of any union will require a thorough understanding of the Taurus character. This is a virtually immovable Sign, especially if there is a sense of being forced into something. Knowledge of the ways associated with those governed by Taurus and encouragement to slowly but surely accept any changes will assure a relationship of moving forward and remaining vibrant. It takes a great deal to truly anger the Taurus subject who is in love, but disloyalty will usually prove to be the ultimate factor. These are individuals who are slow to attach and equally as slow to detach. In short, break-ups tend to hang on for an eternity. Still, once a Taurus native does close his or her heart, there is very little chance that it will open up again. Most of the troubles here will emerge over jealousy, possessiveness and the inherent inability of Taurus to change in a basic fashion. Those ruled by this Sign can be immovable forces when they so desire and if they have decided they are perfectly happy with something exactly as it is, nobody can pressure them to change. There is a tendency for Taurus persons to regard those they love as cherished objects and this can transform into a very strong jealousy factor. For the same reasons, letting go can also be problematic.

In affairs of the heart, Taurus natives are very discriminating but completely giving once committed. When young, these are romantic and passionate souls who tend to overlook the fact that they will need mental companionship as they grow older. Those governed by Taurus possess a certain glow which the opposite sex will find extremely attractive and well-nigh irresistible, yet Taurus subjects can be dissatisfied in the early years of a long term relationship and it can take them some time to adapt to the needs of any partner. The inherent stubborn nature of this Sign often brings trouble to a union and learning to give is the hardest lesson for Taurus natives. However, it is the most worthwhile lesson that these individuals can learn during the development of their emotional lives. It is unlikely that those who fall under the jurisdiction of Taurus will be attracted by a partner of limited ambition for secretly, these are persons who desire the good things of the world and are willing to work very hard on a personal level to achieve them. Taurus natives love to create a beautiful home and are often outstanding at home-making, decorating, gardening and the social graces. A binding commitment is synonymous with love to Taurus individuals and they are likely to marry quite early. However, any partnership can be beset by quarrels and disagreements, so it will be necessary for these person to curb their jealousy, keep their tempers and maintain a tight rein on the inherent tendency to contradict.



Taurus natives find much pleasure in objects of real and tangible value, services actually performed or whatever else might represent wealth and quality...and relish the prospect of making such items their own. Promises mean little to those governed by this Sign. For example, offer to reward a Taurus individual with either cash or a kiss in exchange for doing a simple task, and he or she will take the money virtually every time in preference to the promise of a less tangible representation of affection. Satisfaction of appetite...whether courtesy of good food, fine wine or romantic pleasure...is high on the list for Taurus individuals. In short, a good meal, delicious cocktail and alluring outfit will most certainly appeal to the Taurus taste. These natives dislike anything that is poorly made, of inferior quality, or shoddy and lacking in any way. This applies not only to material items, but also to less tangible things...love, friendship and cooperation, for instance. Those ruled by Taurus are only interested in what they personally find to look good, sound good, smell good, feel good and taste good. They will want to occupy the best chair in the house and dine on the best china. In short, if a potential partner can make the Taurus individual feel comfortable, then he or she is demonstrating love...at least in the eyes of the Taurus native.



When it comes to long term commitments, many Taurus individuals are prone to become involved early in life, which often results in a union entered into somewhat hastily and frequently ill-advised. It is not unusual for the initial partner of a Taurus native to be lost either by death or separation. In any event, the first long term commitment is apt to turn out disastrously. However, second time around, the relationship is usually productive and blessed with much happiness.









The Taurus male will be steadfast and conservative...a man who loves his home and children. By nature, he is a hard-worker and usually cautious in financial affairs, although he may well overstep his limits for those he truly loves and trusts. This is a male who will react strongly to any perceived wrong. In such circumstances, when the Taurus temper is sure to flare, it would be unwise for any partner to argue or try to overcome a bad situation. Thus, the best course of action would be to retreat, maintain silence and simply wait for the air to clear. In order to be happy with a man governed by this Sign, it must be remembered that although he may not show really deep affection on the surface, this is only because he has complete confidence in his partner and takes, as a matter of course, that such partner is well aware of his feelings. With an intense love for the good things in life...and nothing affords him more pleasure...this male will probably prepare food and throw lavish parties for mutual friends. He may also become involved in politics, particularly issues dealing with reform of the existing system. Possessed with great animal magnetism, the Taurus man is sure to draw and attract people, including other women, and any potential partner will need to accept this without displays of jealousy. That having been said, this is not to imply that any philandering on his part should be endured or accepted, but simply that constant flirtations are sure to come his way...he is very attractive to the opposite sex. It will also be important for any partner to be certain to give the Taurus male no cause to doubt the intention behind similar personal flirtations with others. Anger and jealousy run exceedingly high in these men and may disturb the molecules of their bodies to such an extent that sickness and even death may result from such a prolonged encounter with negative emotions. The Taurus male is loyal to his friends but must be permitted to have his own way. He will brook little opposition...even from a family member, close friend or mate. On some levels, his motto might even be "My way or the highway!" If an enemy is made of the Taurus male, then he is likely to become a bitter and relentless opponent, one who neither forgives nor easily forgets. For reasons unknown, men ruled by this Sign are often found to possess a decided fear of suffering. This is not so much their own mental or physical suffering, but that of others, and they tend to translate such into seeming callousness. They hate all pain and all mental anguish or weakness that anyone in their world might demonstrate.

Practical and good-natured...with a decidedly stubborn streak...this man does possess a temper. It is slow to rise but when it does, sparks are sure to fly. He is a persistent sweetheart, a steadfast and loving mate and a marvellous father. The Taurus male likes a job where there is an end product...a definite purpose in view and a profit in which he can share. His sense of humor is the kind that appreciates his own jokes but often fails to appreciate the jokes of others. Still, this is one of the nicest men to be found in the Zodiac and he can be extremely lovable. He is not particularly skillful at telling a loved one how he feels, preferring instead to show his affection in the things that he does and provided he is coaxed rather than driven, this man will be relatively easy to manage. The attitude toward romantic interludes here is somewhat reticent. He will never be the most passionate of males, but he is certainly deeper than he allows others to know. Men governed by this Sign possess a basic understanding of life and what it is all about in practical terms. It should be noted that while some of these traits may create the impression of a dull individual, nothing could be further from the truth. This is a kind, tolerant and helpful man...and one who is usually quite handsome into the bargain. For a relationship to last, it will be necessary for any mate to make the Taurus male feel comfortable. He likes to be well fed and any partner must learn to give in when the mood to dominate is on him. In addition, it will be necessary to learn about the branch of art in which he is most interested. He likes his mate to always look attractive and would prefer to be consulted about the choice of his loved one's clothing before a purchase is made. He likes to be referred to for most matters concerning family and domestic life. Although the ultimate decision will likely be left in the hands of his partner, the Taurus male likes to be asked first.







The Taurus female is, by nature, true and sincere. She is also subject to flattery and should guard against associating with those who are false and deceitful, as she may be easily fooled by their apparent friendship. The affections of these women are deep and loyal, although they may be shy in expressing personal sentiments. However, once she makes up her mind that she is will be a friend or a sweeheart, her steadfastness can be relied upon implicitly. To be happy with a Taurus female, it will be necessary to give her credit for the good sense and natural self-reliance that she possesses. Under no circumstances should anyone point out the shortcomings of these women with threats or anger...to do so may well awaken something within that will prove to be far more than what was bargained for. Since Taurus females are ruled by Venus, far more will be accomplished via love and consideration rather than force. Generally, these women are hungry for everything, not just food. They definitely have a fondness for material things and desire romantic interludes. While this female may appear very affectionate, such should not be taken as an invitation to take advantage of her. Any potential partner must be honest and upright at all times. The Taurus woman can see through a phony with her eyes closed. She must be told exactly what a partner is feeling about her and exactly what that partner wants...or does not want...in a relationship. In short, if she detects any "flim-flam" whatsoever, she is likely to simply "jump ship." On the other hand, this is a woman who will seek to test her partner from time to time and a line will need to be drawn between her expectations and what any partner is truly willing to provide. Another problem with females governed by Taurus is their incredible earthiness. At first meeting, her appearance and taste will be impeccable. But once she becomes comfortable with a mate, she has a tendency to become careless in both her appearance and behavior. Not only will she care less about how she looks, but she is also likely to become more indulgent with food and drink. It will be important to ensure that the Taurus woman treats any partner who has become a staple in her life with the same respect as she would a new love interest. Any potential mate must make it clear that the rumpled clothing and expanding waistline will not be accepted as par for the course. In addition, any partner must let this female know what is expected from the relationship on a personal level and the result is likely to be a woman who will be delighted to work toward such a goal.



The Taurus woman will always be an attractive partner since she retains her "bloom" for many years and never fails to take care with her appearance. An excellent home-maker and hostess, this female knows exactly what she wants in a material sense. However, she is not always very wise in the philosophic area. Still, this woman learns quickly and with experience, becomes a valuable asset to any partner who places a successful relationship high on the list for happiness. There are certain to be ups and downs with females governed by this Sign. Although she can love whole-heartedly, she can, if provoked, be very contrary and resentful. Once committed, however, she will be faithful and true since, from an early age, she is a firm believer in the "one and only" type of love. Even if this female becomes disillusioned later in life and her ideal appears to have been crushed, she will hold fast to her vision of a one mate commitment. In turn, she will demand absolute fidelity. Despite her repeated attempts to dominate, this is a woman who truly wants her partner to be her boss. Indeed, if females governed by Taurus are allowed to assume leadership of the relationship, all respect for her mate will doubtless evaporate. In short, however much this female likes to grumble, she secretly adores to be ruled since it makes her feel protected. It will be necessary to allow this woman a certain amount of freedom to spend as she wishes...and it would be wise to let her do so since she is never wilfully extravagant and generally very careful with money. For a relationship to last, it will be necessary for any mate to flatter this woman in order to keep her. She also needs to be cajoled, playfully teased and constantly told that she is loved. She may not always take these things seriously, but she will relish them all the same. This is a female who abhors being taken for granted and thus, will want to hear expressions of gratitude...but above all else, this woman craves affection.







Positive Aspects Of Taurus In Love:

Loyal - Dedicated - Generous - Protective - Caring - Doting - Understanding - Stable



Negative Aspects Of Taurus In Love:

Jealous - Possessive - Controlling - Immobile - Overly Serious



Romantic Style:

Affectionate - Satisfying - Can Be Generous

Taurus natives value peace, harmony and stability. They look toward the long-term rather than short-lived excitement, preferring a mate who makes them feel emotionally secure. In return, they provide plenty of affection and generosity, but are prone to be jealous and possessive of any partner. These are souls who require creature comforts in order to operate at their maximum...romantically and otherwise. Subjects of Taurus are not particularly interested in dazzling ideas. They believe in playing it steady and safe. Those governed by this Sign have an unfortunate trait of frequently becoming quickly and deeply involved with the first individual they meet who happens to capture their romantic interest.











Initially, this appears to be an excellent match. However, a long lasting relationship is probably not very likely. The calm and logical Taurus partner will soon drive the more active and fun-seeking Aries partner out of his or her mind. By nature, Aries needs to be caught up in the moment, with the involvement of new ideas being the life blood. This is not the case for Taurus. Those governed by Taurus are logical and conservative, refusing to rush into anything. They can also be jealous and possessive. If the Aries partner seems to be more interested in other things, then the Taurus native will not be given the time and attention necessary to keep this domestically included individual happy. Physical contact is paramount to the Taurus subject and he or she can be very demanding in this quarter. The new ideas and actions of the Aries individual will keep Taurus in a state of jealous confusion. On the other hand, the Aries partner must be active in the public life...generally juggling a home and a career very successfully...to keep the energies stirred up to a certain pitch. If this does not happen, then the physical side of a relationship becomes somewhat passe to the Aries partner who, in his or her boredom, will look for another partner in a thrill-seeking attempt to keep the desired adventure alive. The Taurus native does possess many good points and can bring much to a relationship...but probably not with Aries, who can be fickle if the Taurus nature causes him or her to feel confined or stifled. This will drive away an Aries individual as quickly as he or she was initially attracted. This will be something of a shaky union unless Taurus can manage to calm the inherent Aries characteristics. A clash of wills and personalities here could lead to more than simple arguments...perhaps even physical violence.



The most notable aspect of the Taurus/Aries pairing is its passionate nature and under certain cirumstances, this could be a mutually giving relationship since each partner has much to learn from the other. This union is all about balance, or the lack thereof. Taurus natives adore being wooed and romanced. These are concepts that may be basically foreign to the brash, straightforward and totally unstable Aries. Still, Taurus can help Aries to rein in some of the more foolish and impractical impulses, while Aries will aid Taurus in being more spontaneous and adventurous. Essentially, Taurus is sensual, patient and gentle and an Aries native will be attracted to these qualities, perceiving the Taurus native as possessing that quality those governed by Aries desire in the extreme...knowing when and how to seize life's opportunities. The Aries partner may occasionally toy with his or her Taurus mate...playing off the notorious Taurus laziness or trying to push Taurus into making hasty decisions...but the Taurus native can usually convince Aries to slow things down a little. Aries provides excitement to this relationship whereas Taurus brings security and romance.



Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Aries is ruled by the planet Mars. Generally, Venus and Mars blend well, representing the two necessary halves of the same coin and a good balance of energies. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth while Aries is governed by the element of Fire. Thus, Aries individuals want to take charge of their own destiny but Taurus needs to be assured of security and stability. Sometimes, Taurus can be possessive, which the independent Aries native will not tolerate. However, if Aries can assure Taurus that the relationship is strong and that he or she does not intend to go anywhere, then the Taurus partner can be flexible and tolerant of that all important Aries independence. Taurus is Fixed in quality and Aries in Cardinal. In this pairing, the Aries native will not get his or her own way no matter how hard he or she might try...indeed, not to attempt it all would probably be a better course of action. Taurus is not going to budge and Aries will meet with more success by employing finesse and charm instead of argument. Compromise will be essential since both of these persons will want to be the leader. Still, this will be a passionate relationship...impulsive and deliberate. The contrasting personalities and ability to learn from one another can make this a mutually giving and satisfying union.



In essence, this can be a winning combination. Taurus will appreciate the outward nature of Aries and Aries will appreciate the earthy nature of Taurus. However, what each appreciates about the other may come to be what is most disliked with the passage of time. The romance will undoubtedly be dynamic, but there may not be much hope for anything more. Still, excitement could help to stimulate this combination and add to its longevity.







Since both partners in this combination share the same traits and personality flaws, life together will either be filled with chaos or total boredom. The female partner will tend to take a sensible approach to the finances and her business sense will earn the great respect of the Taurus male. She will also be a splendid housekeeper and make for a good hostess...something men governed by this Sign demand in a mate. In addition, both share a love of cooking and fine dining, being domestic creatures who prefer safety to adventure. The feelings of security harbored by a Taurus female will be heightened in this partnership by the male's ability to hold a job and provide for the household. Each possess an in-born need to express personal feelings and will constantly strive to convey their emotions and love to one another. They will enjoy doing things together and share many of the same interests. However, jealousy may well prove to be a large threat to the union. The inherent possessivenes and jealousy associated with this Sign will undoubtedly cause each partner to put the other through an unpleasant time. Unfortunately, this could become a regular occurrence, resulting in a close questioning regarding whereabout and activities of the other. In order for this relationship to work, then the inherent stubborness associated with this Sign must be curbed and both partners will need to learn how to back off gracefully to end the confrontations such a trait is sure to bring. The physical aspect of this combination will be satisfying, resulting in a pair of individuals who spend half their lives cooking the kitchen and the other half frolicking in a romantic setting. The physical aspect of this match is important but relatively straightforward. This could easily be a relationship where both partners are overweight but happy and jolly, and whose lives will revolve around each other. Given all the similarities in personality traits...both good and bad...this could either be an ideal match or a total washout.



A Taurus/Taurus relationship will be a very sensuous and stable one, which will please both partners. Sensuality and stability are two of the things that Taurus individuals prize most highly...together with fidelity, sharing good food and other creature comforts. In essence, this could be the love connection of a lifetime. Each will spoil the other and each will respect the other's desire for life's little luxuries...after all, they share the same desires in that respect. Those governed by this Sign are naturally charming, graceful and dignified. However, they can be quite stubborn and opinionated...not to mention jealous and possessive...so will have to learn how to agree to disagree. This is particularly true in the pairing of two Taurus natives. They will need to recognize that the union is too good to jeopardize with minor arguments. Blessed with strong willpower and the ability to commit, those who fall under the jurisdiction of this Sign adore the wooing process of courting. Thus, in the beginning, the building stages of the relationship may stretch out in a delicious fashion. Taurus seldom rushes into a relationship but once committed, it will be a solid union...possibly even for life. Both partners here will provide and expect total devotion. Because of this, the Taurus/Taurus pair may be more possessive of each other than most. Nothing will be more upsetting than infidelity but luckily, since both individuals are so dedicated to each other and the relationship...and because Taurus is by nature a reliable character...cheating is rare.



Both partners here are ruled by the planet Venus. When two people influenced by this planet's energy come together, it can result in love at first sight. Each individual in this match will be highly romantic and loving...and they will never tire of physical contact. Taurus is the essential stamina Sign of the Zodiac and those who fall under its jurisdiction love to go all day, all night and all the following day. Here, both partners will be highly sensual and enjoy pampering. Emotional security is paramount but when this is guaranteed, then Taurus natives can be as decadent and indulgent as they please. They can tend to be lazy souls, becoming overly-relaxed in the moment, but as a general rule, they work very hard to maintain the lifestyle of luxury that they prefer. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth. Thus, this pair will likely have a fondness for gardening and share a mutual love of beauty. Signs governed by Earth are also associated with possessions and the Taurus/Taurus combination will probably be surrounded by beautiful things...a lovely home, tasteful artwork, luxurious fabrics and expensive cars, for example. In addition, there is a mutual fondness for rich foods and fine wine. Thus, a regular fitness routine might not be a bad idea for this pair in order to guard against extra pounds. Taurus is Fixed in quality. Thus, both partners here will persevere when working toward their goals...and both will stand by their opinions as though it were a matter of life or death. In general, Taurus is prone to shy away from change, preferring life to be steady, stable and predictable, and once the Taurus/Taurus pair had decided that their relationship is a good one, they will devote themselves to each other. However, if they have differing ideas, they may find themselves in an eternal battle of wills. Still, if they understand that they are working together toward a common goal, then anything will be possible for this partnership. Given the incredible loyalty and dedication to continuing the relationship here...no matter how long term the union might be...the mutual fondness of romance and comfort can make this a magnficently devoted match.



In essence, this appears to be a compatible combination. However, due to the tendencies of jealousy and stubborness associated withTaurus, there could be problems. During difficult times, it is crucial that one of the partners be willing to give way or the relationship could be in serious danger. Still, each individual will understand the frustrations of the other and if the love is strong, the union will doubtless intensify with the passage of years.







The Taurus native would be well-advised to keep a cool head when first meeting an individual governed by the Sign of Gemini. Though easily swept up in the initial wonderful excitement of such a relationship, Taurus will soon find that such euphoria does not last overly long and usually mistakes the wild infatuation for true love. By nature, Gemini is charming but far too involved in a hectic social life to worry unduly about domestic affairs. If the Taurus individual expects this partnership to last, then he or she must work exceedingly hard, since Gemini desires a mate who can share in personal interests and social activities. In short, natives of Gemini refuse to settle for a domestic type. Gemini not only desires a partner who will be an excellent host/hostess (which the Taurus individual is sure to be), but also one who will share all his or her interests. It is important to note that should Taurus should try to curb the Gemini tendency to flirt, then there are sure to be squabbles and accusations from the Gemini partner that he or she is being misunderstood. Still, a firm bond can be established if Gemini comes to recognize and appreciate the strength of Taurus, which will provide a comforting shelter for Gemini when the world becomes too much to handle alone. The physical aspect of this union will gradually be affected by the moods of Gemini, which are exceedingly changeable. Gemini natives can be playful and mischievous one minute, quickly becoming basic and animalistic the next. The typical reaction of Taurus to such behavior may well be the seeking of a new partner. Those governed by Gemini enjoy spice in their life and if this cannot be found at home, then they will undoubtedly look elsewhere.



For the Taurus/Gemini relationship to achieve longevity, it will be necessary for both partners to take the time to learn what the dynamics of the union might be and how they can best get along with each other. Taurus has much to offer Gemini and Gemini has much to offer Taurus, but it will take some adjustment and effort on the part of both to make this pairing a success. Gemini natives are often in two minds about things. If possessive Taurus is willing to let go, providing one facet of the dual-natured Gemini with the security and intimacy he or she desires, while allowing the other facet of dual-natured Gemini to have his or her much-needed freedom, then the relationship will flourish. The Taurus partner may want too much in during early days for Gemini's taste, but those ruled by Gemini can become dependable and steady...the Taurus native must simply be patient. The sedate and practical approach to life associated with Taurus differs greatly from the more light and intellectual approach of Gemini. This can result in a difficult dynamic since the Gemini individual may perceived Taurus as a bit on the dull side...and Taurus may perceive the Gemini partner as being flighty and lacking in substance. Still, Taurus can help Gemini become more deeply involved in life and Gemini can help Taurus to add variety, fun and excitement to his or her life.



Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury. Since both these planets are close to the Sun, they are always in the same neighborhood, even though very different in character. Venus is associated with physical pleasure, romance and sensuality. Mercury's energy is both masculine and feminine, adopting whichever energy best serves at any given moment. Taurus is simply looking for a dependable and sensual partner. Thus, the brilliance of Gemini may be lost on those governed by Taurus. Gemini natives usually believe that their inherent quick wits are the most important thing about themselves, but they are intelligent enough to learn to be the romantic and sensual partner that Taurus craves...if the desire to do so is there. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth while Gemini is governed by the element of Air. Gemini makes decisions based upon intellect...and whim, on occasion...while Taurus is more practical. Taurus is constantly wondering how something will aid him or her to achieve life's goals, but Gemini goes with the moment, rarely feeling overly pressured to adhere to a set plan. If Taurus gives in to his or her possessive feelings, or if Gemini becomes aloof and detached (as natives of this Sign are prone to do), then the relationship will most assuredly suffer. Here, both partners must strive to remain open and flexible in order to achieve a successful union. Although Gemini seems unpredictable, Taurus can learn to understand that while the Gemini native may flirt, the relationship is still important to him or her. In turn, although the Taurus partner seems overly stubborn, Gemini must use the inherent flexibility associated with this Sign to bend to his or her partner's will every now and again. Taurus is Fixed in quality and Gemini is Mutable. Taurus tends to focus on one thing, person or idea at a time. Gemini moves from one thing, person or idea according to impulse. Thus, the Taurus partner must provide the Gemini native with ample independent and much breathing space. It might also be helpful if Taurus tried to learn the lesson Gemini has to offer...that versatility is sometimes better than a Fixed determination to to things one's own way. The security this pair can give each other...once Taurus allows Gemini to offer such security of his or her own free will...will make for a stable and happy union, provided both partners are able to communicate.



In essence, this combination may be something of a gamble. The Gemini personality may prove to be too restless for the Taurus partner. Gemini natives adore a variety of thoughts and delights, while Taurus is chiefly interested in material items. Thus, given the Taurus bent toward possessiveness, he or she may be unable to hang on to the unsettled Gemini partner. Moreover, Gemini desires change but Taurus wants things to remain as they are. This lends yet more doubt to the possibility of this relationship reaching longevity.







In this partnership, Cancer will want to understand every nuance of the Taurus personality and will make the Taurus native fell as though he or she is the most important thing in the life of the Cancer individual...however, Cancer will expect the same. This pair share a mutual strength in terms of domestic impulses and will devote much time and effort to a home and children. The Taurus partner will never have to worry about being taken for granted by the quiet and moody Cancer native. Being a dreamer by nature, Cancer is sure to place Taurus on a pedestal and always expect nothing less than perfection. Consequently, when the flaws begin to show, Cancer will become disappointed and retreat into his or her infamous shell. Since Taurus is not the most tactful of Zodiac Signs, he or she will clumsily attempt to coax Cancer's emergence, resulting in the Cancer partner retreating even further. Cancer needs and demands...usually in a pouting manner...a plethera of sympathy and those governed by Taurus do possess a nurturing instinct for providing that. Thus, this pair may get along better than might be expected. On occasion, the nerve of the Cancer partner will fail him or her, but with an abundance of support and backing from the Taurus individual, Cancer should be able to face life...and may even be successful in personal endeavors, should any be tried. This is a union that can and will improve with age and hard work. These are two persons with such different personalities that in many ways, the strength of one partner will lend support to overcome the weakness of the other. The physical side of any relationship for a Cancer native will very much depend on what transpired earlier that same evening. If there was an argument or some other unpleasantness, then Cancer is unlikely to be in the mood for intimacy...and if Taurus is subjected to this type of treatment too often, it will certainly drive a wedge between the couple. Still, if both partners here are willing to give rather than get, this could be a match of some longevity.



Basically, this is usually a very good combination. These Signs are two apart within the Zodiac Wheel and such a position tends to indicate a sharing of karmic ties and a deep mutual understanding. In addition, there is much in common here. Both individuals prize security in a love relationship above almost anything else and both are prone to be nurturers...Cancer being emotionally nurturing while Taurus relishes in spoiling a sweetheart with sensual delights, gifts and excellent meals. Both these Signs are somewhat domestic by nature and thus, will enjoy a quiet night spent at home in each other's company. In short, this has an excellent chance of being a happy union, courtesy of the mutual fondness for security and the comforts of home. In this pairing, there is often found the ideal family that those governed by other Signs of the Zodiac strive to attain. This will be a union that is family-oriented rather than directed toward the outside world. The only major problems likely to arise are if the Taurus partner insists on having his or her own way and Cancer responds by sulking. Thus, it is important that the Taurus native understand Cancer's emotional sensitivity. In turn, the Cancer partner needs to rely on open and honest communication instead of resorting to emotional blackmail.



Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Cancer is ruled by the Moon. Both these celestial bodies vibrate with feminine energy. Cancer often keeps emotions bottled up and simmering inside, which can lead to the occasional boil-over and this is probably why Cancer is so attracted to the open, honest and unafraid nature associated with those governed by Taurus. As the Moon controls the tides of Earth, quietly affecting all life, so does Cancer, manipulating things behind the scenes. Natives of Cancer are prone to be sentimental and each partner in this pairing will prefer to enjoy each other rather than socializing with large groups. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth while Cancer is governed by the element of Water. Earth and Water are basically compatible as tangible, physicial energies. Influenced by Water, Cancer is born to nurture those Signs ruled by Earth...akin to manner in which rain nurtures the soil and helps crops to grow. In turn, Taurus has a more stable view of life and is less prone to emotional turmoil. Hence, Taurus can help Cancer stablilize tumultuous feelings. Still, both Signs need to be careful in this relationship. The Taurus partner may tire of Cancer's mood swings, causing the Cancer partner to believe that Taurus is insensitive to his or her needs. Taurus is Fixed in quality and Cancer is Cardinal. The habits of Taurus are well-nigh rigid and an opinion once formed will not be changed. This can provide the Cancer native with an emotional rock since Taurus is totally dedicated to the relationship. In return, the Cancer individual can bring new inspiration to the union, beginning new projects that Taurus will undoubtedly enjoy taking over at a later point in time. Basically, these two make for a steady and reliable team. Both Taurus and Cancer are dependable and nurturing Signs, strongly oriented toward domestic life together. A mutual love of home and security could easily result in an ideal family union of some considerable longevity.



In essence, this combination is a very favorable match. Cancer likes a good home with much affection and this is exactly what Taurus hopes to find when embarking upon a relationship. On the emotional side, there is nothing to stop the prospect of a happy and long term union between this pair. However, it is important that the Taurus partner remember that Cancer is very sensitive and is prone to close within himself or herself if emotionally unhappy.







The Taurus native may not be able to help but fall in love with Leo for the strength, warmth, generosity and bearing associated with this Sign are impressive indeed. The Leo native will have great admiration for the ability of Taurus in terms of handling finances and he or she will also admire the effortless sophistication displayed by individuals who are governed by Taurus. Because there is so much mutual admiration between this pair, an infatuation may begin the moment these two become acquainted and could very well lead to a commitment of some longevity. At times, the Taurus partner may feel that Leo is too sure of his or her standing and in fact, Leo may take the Taurus native for granted. In addition, Leo individuals are prone to exhibit an overbearing and demanding attitude...to say nothing of possessing dogmatic ways. Battles between these two could be epic in proportion. Both Taurus and Leo are capable of making a good living but Leo will likely expect the Taurus partner to stay home rather than pursue a career. Unfortunately, this will not sit well with those ruled by Taurus. Problems may arise if the Taurus partner believes Leo should do something to cultivate emotional compatibility...or if the Leo partner shows a lack of concern for the feelings and/or emotional needs of Taurus. If this attitude is carried over into the romantic arena, then the Leo partner will probably meet with a very cold shoulder, causing much distress to the fiery and amorous Leo native. In order to achieve even a modicum of peace and harmony, each partner in this relationship must strive to keep the physical activity between them alive and well.



Basically, this combination can result in a magnificent pairing because each knows how to stroke the other's ego and each loves to have his or her ego stroked. In addition, the needs of this couple are similar. Taurus desires an abundance of affection...wanting to be loved and cherished. Leo thrives on compliments, craving declarations of adoration and displays of admiration. In a romantic sense, both are extremely loyal and passionate...and since they share the same desires, can usually provide for one another's needs very well. These are Signs that have an almost overwhelming fondness for status and possessions, placing a high value on comfort and luxury. Leo is frequently flamboyant about attentions and gift-giving, which will greatly please the Taurus partner, who adores the most traditional forms of courtship. Although this pair can work together quite nicely, it is not a garden of roses for these two. Both are stubborn individuals who must work hard to understand and accept one another.



Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Leo is ruled by the Sun. The Sun radiates warmth and light. Those it governs also radiate this type of energy and enthusiasm. Venus is concerned with love, beauty and luxury. Thus, this combination of masculine and feminine energies will aid both partners to admire and sustain one another. Venus is never more than 48 degrees from the Sun, so these two certainly belong close together. The Sun is representative of life and Venus is representative of romance. As long as each individual here is careful to understand the other, this match could be a positive one. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth while Leo is governed by the element of Fire. Hence, both partners will be ambitious, but in quite different ways. Leo yearns for fame and fortune...Taurus strives for security and stability in life and in love. Unfortunately, both Signs expect to assume the position of leader in a relationship and the tendency to battle for domination is likely. During arguments, Taurus abhors conceding a point, perceiving such to be an acceptance of domination...unless it is considered to be the practical course. Arguments can be fierce and epic between these two but provided each can be reassured that the relationship is important to his or her partner, then things will progress more smoothly. Taurus and Leo are both Fixed in quality. This means that each partner will be stubborn and once the mind is made up, it will take a lot to effectuate a change of attitude. This is why any argument between them can become so intense...both truly believe they are correct and that their way is the only right way to address an issue. Taurus and Leo are Signs prone to shy away from change. They like to get things settled and then allow them to continue in that fashion almost indefinitely...even if there is room for improvement. If either should decide that he or she wants the love relationship to stay intact, then almost nothing will convince him or her to leave the partner. This is good for the stability of the union, but can be bad if the relationship is inhibitive or destructive. Perhaps the best aspect of this combination is mutual admiration. Both individuals here possess exceedingly powerful personalities, so neither will be likely to dominate the other...regardless of how hard they might try. Friends and family may well consider this pair an excellent union since they share the commitment of fulfilling their goals.



In essence, this combination is a rather good match, particularly when each partner understands the errors of the other. Both Taurus and Leo possess a love for the finer things of life and provided Taurus can restrain the inherent jealousy...and allow Leo to show off a little on occasion...this relationship could work to perfection.







Disagreements between these two Signs will be few and far between since both have a strong practical side to their natures. In addition, these individuals share a logical mind and sharp financial ability. Since Taurus loves an abundance of attention and Virgo loves fussing over someone he or she adores, this could be a most satisfying relationship for both partners. Each native here is fond of children and the home. Thus these things will play a large part in their lives...demanding and receiving their constant attention. While this may appear to be an ideal match, there are some drawbacks and being human, neither is perfect. Virgo tends to work very hard at a career or even on a domestic chore that the Taurus partner often believes he or she could accomplish in half the time and with far less effort. Thus, the Taurus native may resort to calling his or her Virgo partner a "fuss budget," which will do nothing to boost the Virgo impression of self-worth that it takes for this Sign to excel. The strong critical streak inherent in Virgo could cause a lot of stress and tension for the Taurus partner since this is a Sign that does not take kindly to having personal faults brought to the forefront...although the more evolved Taurus individual will have learned that the best way to handle this is to simply ignore it. Otherwise, Taurus and Virgo do observe certain routines and always play by the rules, which coincides with each other's moral outlook on life. Generally, Virgo is not an overly active sign in the physical sense but with Taurus, he or she will probably find that romantic interludes are as good as they ever will get with anyone. The Taurus individual does have a knack for breaking down the inhibitions of Virgo and bringing out the more baser instincts...although this may take a lot of patience. Basically, this is a rather favorable match.



A love affair between Taurus and Virgo is a union of innate practicality...something which both Signs employ in daily life as the most efficient means to solve the majority of problems. Both partners can be quite sincere and they will be devoted to each other. As human beings, natives of Taurus and Virgo possess a great deal of integrity. The Virgo partner is sure to like the strength and dedication of Taurus, while the Taurus partner will certainly appreciate the quickness of the Virgo mind. Given Virgo's naturally cautious character, this relationship may well take some time to develop, but once it has been established that both individuals are committed, it will become akin to a runaway train...travelling under its own steam and difficult to stop. Here, both partners place common sense and practicality in high esteem. They will be materialistic but prepared to work hard for the creature comforts that are mutually enjoyed. The Taurus native will be more sensual and indulgent, whereas Virgo is prone to be the inhibitive force in the relationship, tending not to get involved in life's chaos in favor of analyzing all available options. However, the inherent fondness of Virgo for analysis often leads to criticism...something the Taurus partner may well take too seriously. Conversely, the stubborn nature of Taurus can grate on the nerves of the Virgo native, which will only cause him or her to criticize even more. Thus, this pair must take care not to take each other too seriously. Luckily, both are sufficiently similar in basic character to be patient with one another...particularly the Virgo partner, who will love to indulge the Taurus penchant for fine treatment and good food.



Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Virgo is ruled by the planet Mercury. Both these celestial bodies are close to the Sun, so they are closely related although they may seem very different. Venus is characteristic of the physical, concerned with romance and sensuality...both of which are paramount to the Taurus native. Mercury is characteristic of communication. It is also regarded as an androgynous planet, causing Virgo natives to adopt the form that he or she chooses. Those governed by Virgo are very good at understanding others and can easily learn to be the romantic and sensual partner that Taurus desires. In addition, since both individuals here are devoted and romantic souls by nature, their arguments will rarely focus on these issues. Both Taurus and Virgo are governed by the element of Earth. Thus, these are steady and practic Signs who are concerned with possessions. This pair love to surround themselves with beautiful things...an opulent home, magnificent artwork and stylish cars, for example. Their love of luxury and mutual desire to be financially secure make for a couple who will work hard and seldom (if ever) overspend. Taurus is Fixed in quality and Virgo is Mutable. The Taurus individual is stubborn and prone to make up his or her mind for good. Thus, the Virgo native can help teach Taurus the value in bending the mind a little...when it is practical, of course. There will be a mutual dedication to working for the same goals and both partners enjoy luxury and the nice things life has to offer. Also, Virgo will relish the idea of helping the Taurus partner to achieve goals. Hence, the common interests and desires of this couple can result in a highly compatible union.



In essence, this combination is a good match. However, in order to achieve longevity, the Taurus partner should avoid the criticisms of his or her Virgo mate, since Taurus abhors being critiqued. In addition, since those governed by Virgo are normally in control of their emotional outputs, this may cause problems given that Taurus natives thrive on deep emotion. Nevertheless, there will always be much common ground in this relationship.







Both partners in this combination will work to develop a higher mind and embrace all aspects of the art world. This alone should provide an excellent foundation for their relationship, but the Libra native will probably aggravate Taurus with his or her quick changes since Libra detests routine of any kind. For instance, those governed by Libra may throw themselves into work projects one week to such an extent that the existence of Taurus will barely be noticed...and then the next week, wallow in total laziness, putting off all decisions that need to be made. It is inherent in the Taurus nature to plan life, but Libra individuals will make no such commitment and this can result in violent abuse on both sides. Libra is possibly the worst kind of flirt, but only uses this trait as an ego-booster and nothing more. Still, the jealousy inherent in Taurus would not be able to endure this type of behavior for very long. Unfortunately, for this union to stand a chance, Taurus will have to learn to put up with it. In general, the Libra partner will tolerate the jealous outbursts of Taurus, but if the Taurus native insists on making decisions regarding the relationship, then he or she needs to be right as Libra will lay the entire blame on the Taurus native if thing do not transpire according to plan. Physical attraction will be strong in this combination...so strong that the pair can probably escape from some of the personality problems in the romantic arena. However, sooner or later, this will undermine their physical relationship. Basically, this is a match not usually recommended for success in terms of longevity.



In some instances, this combination can be the unification of two halves of a whole. In essence, Taurus and Libra are thought of as being karmically linked. Both are looking for security in a relationship and they do share a love of art, poetry and culture. This is a partnership that may begin slowly since, on the surface, they might have few common interests. Still, once they come to understand each other, they may learn they have much more in common than was initially apparent. Both partners appreciate fine dining, the theater, music and collecting art. Pleasure...physical and aesthetic...is a premium for Taurus and Libra alike. Natives of both these Signs love to woo and be wooed. Thus, courtship will be a necessary component of any romantic union and since both have this need, they fit well together. The Taurus partner is sure to appreciate Libra's charm and if stubborn Taurus fails to get his or her way, then the Libra partner will be able to smooth things over and keep the peace. In addition, Libra will appreciate the luxuries that sensual Taurus provides. Furthermore, the Libra partner can help Taurus to see different sides of a given situation and the Taurus native will be able to assist Libra in overcoming the notorious indecision associated with this Zodiac Sign.



Both Taurus and Libra are ruled by the planet Venus. Therefore, the Taurus/Libra combination will share a love of beauty, luxury, affection and romance. Libra is particularly keen on balance and both partners are charming characters with a mutual desire for harmony in personal relationships. However, the influence of Venus can also be problematic in that natives of both Taurus and Libra are prone to laziness and snobbery...Taurus regarding possessions and Libra based on intellect. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth while Libra is governed by the element of Air. Basically, Taurus individuals get through life courtesy of reliance upon innate practicality, while Libra relies upon intellectual expression. Taurus is constantly asking how things will help him or her achieve personal goals, whereas Libra focuses on intellectual stimuli...whether it be practical or not. Conflicts can arise here if the Taurus partner seems too possessive or if the Libra partner appears overly flirtatious and social. On occasion, neither will quite understand where the other is coming from. In order for this union to achieve longevity, each must learn to accept that the other's views of the world tend to be different in tone and focus. Taurus is Fixed in quality and Libra is Cardinal. Generally, it will be the Libra native who initiates this relationship and Taurus who will keep it going. The Taurus partner will never budge and Libra needs to understand the stubborn nature of this Sign. With some gentle persuasion, anything may be possible and there is no individual in the Zodiac who is more gifted at gentle, subtle persuasion than a native of Libra. Still, Libra's inherent indecision may irritate the direct and to-the-point native of Taurus...but as long as the Taurus partner can tone down the urge to declare that his or her way is the only acceptable one, then Libra can accept such decisions. Here, there is a mutual love of pleasure, beauty and culture. Aesthetics will be integral to both partners and their similar tastes can make for a union of great romance and harmony.



In essence, this combination is a very good match. There are common interests and a general meeting of the minds. Both partners appreciate beauty and the finer things of life. It is likely that this pair will need a good influx of money in order to appease their desire for luxury, but in order for this relationship to achieve longevity, then Libra will need to use his or her sense of diplomacy and Taurus will need to exercise patience.







Both Taurus and Scorpio are prone to be extremely stubborn Signs, to say nothing of being opinionated and set in their ways. This can reflect back on the relationship and make even minor issues a cause for all out war...with the more serious conflicts becoming virtually intolerable. Still, money problems are not likely to arise here since both partners take a serious approach to finances. Taurus and Scorpio are by nature possessive and jealous, but this could bring them closer together as each will understand the feelings of insecurity that the other is experiencing. Both partners share the basic need for a secure and stable background. Thus, a domestic environment will play a large part in their life together. However, these shared attitudes and traits may be all that can make this relationship a workable proposition. Fights are not likely to stop long enough for this couple to work on their differences in an unprejudiced manner or for any suggestion on the part of either to be implemented. Yet another cause of tension will be the conflict of Scorpio's strong and emotional nature to the rational and realistic character of Taurus. Here, the romantic life will be erratic at best. Both partners tend to be physically active in a sexual sense but the times their desires conincide could be far too few to provide satisfaction in a long term committment.



If nothing else, a Taurus/Scorpio union will be intense...either positively or negatively. These Signs are opposite on the Zodiac Wheel which does lend a rather special and complex connection between the two and they can, on occasion, combine to make a whole with each partner's strengths balancing the other's weaknesses. There is much in common here, but because both personalities are so powerful, they often swing between passionate romance and passionate disagreement. Taurus and Scorpio are Signs that possess deep desires...Taurus for possessions and Scorpio for power. Both are concerned with wealth and resources...in addition to being impassioned about all sorts of things. The Taurus native is probably somewhat more self-focused than Scorpio, who tends to be more involved with his or her mate and immediate family. The Taurus partner will prize honesty and forthrightness and abhor infidelity. Unfortunately for Taurus, natives of Scorpio are prone to be mysterious...their need for security related to the need for constant reassurance that the emotional connection with any mate is a solid one. Luckily, Taurus also requires this type of reassurance and is more than willing to provide such to a partner.



Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto. Courtesy of Pluto's influence, this makes for an intense combination...one which is an excellent balance of masculine and feminine energy. Together, Taurus and Scorpio form the basis of all love relationships...love and passion. Venus also combines well with Mars (the ruling planet of Scorpio prior to the discovery of Pluto). Venus is associated with the beauty of romance and Mars with the passion. By nature, Scorpio natives are smoldering and intense...to say nothing of being highly sexual. Taurus, inherently sensual and tireless, cannot help but be attracted to Scorpio's intensity. In turn, Scorpio enjoys the devotion which is a natural trait of Taurus individuals. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth while Scorpio is governed by the element of Water. Scorpio is prone to be deep...like an ocean...but too much upset can cause a tidal wave. When natives of Scorpio believe they have been crossed by a partner, then retaliation can be vindictive and vicious. Fortunately, Taurus and Scorpio are Signs that will usually be exceedingly loyal to each other. However, where Taurus is open with everything laid bare on the surface, Scorpio is more secretive and inscrutible. Each can teach the other about their opposite views of life (i.e., direct versus complex) and another factor which adds a tantalizing dimension to this union is the shared tendency toward jealousy. The Taurus partner will just adore Scorpio's jealous displays since it means that he or she is adored and appreciated. Taurus and Scorpio are both Fixed in quality, which means both are likely to be somewhat stubborn and resolute once their minds have been made up. It can only be hoped that their minds agree or there will certainly be battles...the likes of which neither is likely to experience with any other Zodiac Signs. Here, Taurus appears to prevail as the dominant partner, but such is not always the case. The Scorpio native will be very adept at winning through more devious means...employing emotional manipulation to get what he or she wants, for example. This pair must learn to discuss their views and needs in an open fashion to ensure a happy and lasting union. Compromise is also essential and this will depend largely upon the Scorpio partner's ability to learn to trust Taurus. If this couple cannot overcome their opinionated stances, then the relationship is doomed to failure. Still, this is a powerful connection that can shine when obstacles to intimacy are cleared away. Once the Scorpio partner realizes that Taurus is committed and unlikely to create the misery that some natives of Scorpio seem to attract to their lives, this union could blossom and flourish.



In essence, this combination is one of mutual admiration. In a romantic sense, the physical ties will be strong and the pair usually have much in common. However, the chief problem is likely to be jealousy...and it almost invariably shows its face sooner or later. Here, longevity is best achieved when the Taurus native is very careful to keep faith with his or her Scorpio partner.







A love affair between these two Signs is likely to be troublesome. The Sagittarius partner will probably find it difficult to sustain for any length of time the level of affection that Taurus requires. Taurus natives hate changes in relationships and are prone to be inflexible...virtually unable to broaden their horizons. Those governed by Sagittarius are by nature adventurers. They love the outdoors but Taurus is more content to pursue indoor activities. When the Taurus partner refuses to join in with the sporting ways of Sagittarius, then the Sagittarius native is sure to find someone who will. There are few...if any...domestic talents inherent in the Sign of Sagittarius and he or she will not give the domestic abilities of Taurus a second thought. Indeed, the Sagittarius partner will likely not even notice the Taurus proficiency in providing a comfortable home. Sagittarius individuals are able to take criticism and will even change...just a little...but they can never be tamed and fidelity is rare for those governed by this Sign. Thus, the jealous nature of Taurus will be in a constant uproar and the necessity of always keeping up with his or Sagittarius partner...both romantically and otherwise...will eventually take its toll. Sagittarius loves to act out his or her romantic fantasies and the Taurus partner will be expected to be very versatile in this respect, which is something likely to appall the Taurus sense of propriety and the conservative nature of this Sign. Indeed, one or two risque suggestions made by Sagittarius could kill the love between this pair almost immediately. As a friendship, this is a wonderful combination but anything more would probably be ill-advised.



The Taurus/Sagittarius connection can be incredibly passionate and steamy, but each must learn to give the other time to learn about the particular energy this relationship generates. Both have much to gain from this union. While Sagittarius thrives when constantly experiencing new people, places and food, etc., Taurus will probably be content with routine since such affords him or her with the security that is so highly prized. During the early days, the Taurus partner might demand more commitment and stability than Sagittarius is ready...or even willing...to give, but if Taurus can learn patience, then Sagittarius can eventually come to appreciate the comforts of hearth and home. Still, these are two Signs who approach life in very different ways. Taurus is by nature sedate and practical, which offsets the restles demeanor inherent in those ruled by Sagittarius. A Sagittarius native may have trouble with the seemingly dull complacency of Taurus and will try to rev him or her up, which is sure to result in failure. Nonetheless, Taurus will actually have much to offer the Sagittarius partner...although Sagittarius will probably not be inclined to admit the need for a secure base. In turn, the Sagittarius partner can bring a vast amount of fun and adventure into the life of a Taurus native.



Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter. The influence of Venus lends Taurus a love of beauty, luxury and sensual pleasures. The influence of Jupiter, representative of luck, is what marks Sagittarius as the teacher of the Zodiac. Jupiter is associated with philosophy, higher learning, expansion, optimism and travel. Thus, this blend of beauty and expansion...a mix of masculine and feminine energy...makes for two Signs that possess mutual admiration and ones that will sustain each other. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth while Sagittarius by the element of Fire. Sagittarius requires space to move around and keep the flames burning brightly. Conversely, Taurus is down-to-earth and needs stability. Sagittarius natives rely upon feelings and impulses to direct them through life, while Taurus is practical and concerned with efficiency. This pair's approaches to life can either be complementary or sources of stress if either cannot learn to understand and accept the other. Provided both take care to engage in reassurances that the relationship is special and important...and Taurus in particular will need this...then things could likely run quite smoothly. Taurus is Fixed in quality and Sagittarius is Mutable. Natives of Taurus are stubborn and once their minds are made up, it will take much to convince them to make a change. Sagittarius craves variety and if this urge to participate in something fresh and novel should stray into the realm of experiencing new partners, then the Sagittarius individual will need to be careful. Taurus will never tolerate infidelity and if cheating occurs, then Taurus will be deeply wounded and the relationship may not survive the strain. However, it will be necessary for the Taurus partner to give Sagittarius the freedom to enjoy other other experiences and people...on a platonic level, of course. Nonetheless, Taurus can teach Sagittarius the benefits of a secure commitment and Sagittarius can show Taurus that flexibility is sometimes better than following a set and well-worn path. The new perspectives this pair can give one another...once each partner becomes familiar with the ways in which the other differs...can make for a stable and happy union, provided these differences are understood and accepted.



In essence, this combination is rather odd, at best...one where the Taurus trait for possessiveness is coupled with the Sagittarius love of freedom. Thus, the Sagittarius partner will probably find the relationship somewhat stifling and difficult to cope with. Characteristically, Sagittarius is frank and generous and the nature of those who fall under its jursidiction will likely clash with the inherent jealousy of Taurus. Still, with some understanding and effort, this could become a union of harmony.







Initially, a Capricorn native may not appear to be ambitious or particularly intelligent, but these are qualities that Taurus will easily perceive to be apparent as the relationship progresses...together with a strong dominating streak. The Capricorn partner will want to share all of the Taurus individual's worries and fears, which the keen senses of Capricorn quickly detect. Courtesy of a natural empathy existing between these two Signs, each is more than capable of understanding the other's feelings, depressions and sense of humor. Both need stability in their home life, enabling them to feel secure and loved. However, those goverened by Capricorn lack the ability to express themselves well and this could cause the Taurus partner some confusion. Still, Taurus will eventually realize that actions speak louder than words. Life could run smoothly for this couple, but conflict is likely to arise when the Taurus partner does something terribly extravagant that will disturb the cautious and wary nature of Capricorn. Being on the quiet side, the Capricorn native will make a good companion for the home-loving Taurus partner and if satisfaction is experienced in the domestic arena, then a Taurus/Capricorn union could be inseperable. In a romantically physical sense, Capricorn individuals can be overly indulgent or may abstain altogether if affected by outside pressures. The Taurus partner needs to be sensitive to the tensions of Capricorn and be willing to discuss the issues, thereby easing the Capricorn partner's burden of guilt. Given that Taurus is basically well-equipped to deal with Capricorn...and vice versa...this could easily be an ideal match.



The Taurus/Capricorn love match is a practical and sensible partnership. These two Signs share a certain down-to-earth logic and interest in efficiency. A Taurus native is not likely to risk more than is necessary in terms of emotional connection and involvement...Capricorn natives are similarly inclined, but more in terms of money and career. Indeed, the career of an individual governed by Capricorn is one of the great focuses of his or her life. This Sign is interested in scaling the heights and tends to set very lofty standards to adhere to. Taurus also has high standards, but standards that are related to love, relationships and possessions. Here, there is mutual admiration for dedication and strength...qualities inherent in both partners. They also share a dependable, realistic and rather conservative approach to life...although this trait will probably be somewhat more pronounced in the Capricorn native. Nonetheless, a love affair between these two can rapidly become stale because the core personalities are actually rather different. Taurus may find Capricorn too conservative and restrictive...Capricorn may think that Taurus is too lazy and does not care enough about career and status. Still, if the Taurus partner can encourage Capricorn to relax a little and appreciate the fruits of his or her labor, and if the Capricorn partner can help Taurus to achieve goals and make dream a reality, this union can be smooth, happy and long-lasting.



Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. Venus is indicative of a warm and feminine energy, whereas Saturn is indicative of a cold and masculine energy. Venus is concerned with sensual pleasures, the aesthetics of love and the beauty of art. All these qualities stimulate the Taurus native and serve to heighten the appreciaton of life and love. Conversely, Saturn is concerned with hard work and the discipline necessary to achieve goals. Thus, Taurus can show Capricorn how to enjoy a well-earned break every now and again and how to appreciate beauty and comfort. In return, Capricorn can teach Taurus to be more disciplined and constantly strive for that which is most desired. Both Taurus and Capricorn are governed by the element of Earth. Hence, this is a combination of Signs that love to indulge in material possessions. They want to possess and be surrounded by beautiful things...a lovely home, designer clothing, luxurious cars and exquisite works of art, for example. Fortunately, since both are prepared to work hard, they can usually attain all these things and will rarely argue about impracticality or overindulgence. Taurus is Fixed in quality and Capricorn is Cardinal. Those governed by Taurus will rarely (if ever) change their minds once they have reached a decision. These are souls who possess a quiet and steadfast determination. While natives of some Zodiac Signs likely find this dull or restrictive, those ruled by Capricorn regard this as a good and comforting trait...and the Taurus partner will certainly be clearly dedicated to the relationship. Here, the best aspect of this union is probably the similarity of each partner's values and mutual dedication to the same goals. This pair share a love of luxury and nice possessions...and they are prepared to also share resources. Thus, the mutual interests of the Taurus/Capricorn union makes for a highly compatible relationship.



In essence, the shared understanding of one partner for the other in this combination usually results in a very good match. Both require a certain amount of flattery and encouragement in their lives, but the Taurus partner will need to take the lead in that area. Taurus and Capricorn are by nature responsible and practical but for the relationship to achieve longevity, each partner will have to infuse a little fun into the union when things become too serious...as they are almost sure to do with this pairing.







Natives of Aquarius hate formality and are probably the most unconventional souls in the Zodiac. They do not recognize superiors unless those superiors have earned all due respect. It is inherent in the nature of Aquarius to only talk at length with another person if that person has something interesting to say. To those governed by Taurus, material possessions and security play a large role, but this is not the case with Aquarius individuals. Aquarius enjoys work solely for the sake of sharpening the intellect and increasing his or her knowledge base. Thus, frequent job changes result from the quest to satisfy these needs. Any differences an Aquarius native has with Taurus...or anyone else for that matter...are expected to be discussed in a cool and sensible manner, disdaining emotions that the Aquarius native perceives as impairing the judgment. The time Aquarius devotes to sorting out the problems of other people and to saving the world is sure to stir up the Taurus jealousy to a fever pitch. Unfortunately, it would be unwise for the Taurus partner to expect any sympathy or empathy from Aquarius in that quarter...such simply will not be forthcoming. Natives of Aquarius place a low emphasis on the physically romantic side of a relationship. Indeed, it is far down on the list of this Sign's necessities and such an attitude could cause the Taurus partner some major upsets since Taurus is unable to accept sharing the problems of the world during intimate moments. Thus, in the eyes of the Aquarius partner, Taurus could be perceived as eventually becoming overly demanding. Basically, this is not considered a favorable pairing.



If this combination of Signs can manage to figure out how to coordinate their efforts, then they could move mountains. Still, the practical and down-to-earth approach of Taurus is probably as opposite as could be to the unconventional and out-of-this-world approach of Aquarius. Taurus resists change while Aquarius is easily the most progressive Sign of the Zodiac. Here, there may appear to be few common interests but there is a shared desire to succeed that is very strong on both Taurus and Aquarius...which means they make make better business partners than sweethearts. Since both individuals can be extremely opinionated, in order to achieve longevity, they must take care not to get into arguments...particularly in view of their dissimilar reactions to tension. When Taurus becomes angry, he or she tends to charge. When Aquarius feels pressure, then he or she is prone to pull away and adopt an aloof demeanor in order to create space apart from the aggressor. This can make those governed by Taurus push even harder, causing the Aquarius partner to pull even further away...and so on. Natives of Aquarius are modern and progressive souls, likely to find the Taurus dedication to routine somewhat boring. In turn, Taurus will find the Aquarius partner exciting, but will probably feel frustrated in trying to keep up with the inherently quick mind associated with this Sign. Nonetheless, despite the differences, this pair does have something to offer each other. Although the Aquarius partner will have a difficult time in admitting it (even to himself or herself), he or she will find the sold basis afforded by Taurus to be comforting and supportive. In turn, the Taurus partner will find Aquarius to be stimulating...even if not altogether comfortable company.



Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Aquarius is ruled by the planet Saturn...and to a limited degree, Uranus. Venus is indicative of a warm and feminine energy, whereas Saturn is indicative of a cold and masculine energy. Uranus is associated with rebellion and is indicative of all things strange and unusual. Venus focuses on beauty, romance and sensual pleasures...all of which are important and pleasing to the Taurus native. Saturn causes Aquarius to concentrate on hard work and employ discipline to achieve goals. Uranus blesses Aquarius with the famous revolutionary thinking associated with that Sign. Taurus can show Aquarius that life is based upon emotions and may be vastly improved courtesy of beauty and comfort. Aquarius can instruct Taurus on how to keep striving for betterment...and how to move away from something if it fails to work satisfactorily. This is an important lesson for Taurus to learn. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth while Aquarius is governed by the element of Air. Thus, Aquarius focuses on intellectual connections and pursuits, whereas Taurus has more practical and sensual interests. Where Taurus wonders how something will aid in the achievement of personal goals, Aquarius wonders what else there might be. Hence, the Taurus/Aquarius pairing may have trouble understanding each other and if the Taurus partner clings too closely, or if Aquarius becomes too cold and aloof, disputes are sure to erupt. Still, if this couple can operate from a base of mutual love and respect, understanding between the two can eventually be achieved. Both Taurus and Aquarius are Fixed in quality. Therefore, both partners will be stubborn and once minds are made up, there will be little changing of a viewpoint or opinion. This steadfast trait cannot help but extend into their personal life. If they become committed to each other, there is virtually nothing that will make them decide to abandon the relationship. If the union is smooth and mutually benefitcal, then this is a good thing. However, if the union is inhibitive for either or both individuals, then their refusal to admit as much and thus end the affair, can seriously hamper the growth in life of both partners. Still, if they realize that working together yields far more than will the butting of heads, the Taurus/Aquarius pairing will remain productive. Since Taurus tends to be the more practical Sign, he or she might be the first to back down during an argument...assuming, of course, that it is practical to do so. The unstoppable team power here is probably the best aspect of the relationship...once the path has been cleared of obstacles. Both partners possess very powerful personalities, so neither is likely to dominate the other...no matter how hard each may try. This can be a truly exciting and satisfying union if the pair can mange to work out how it will work between them.



In essence, this combination will definitely be a difficult one to maintain for any length of time. By nature, Aquarius is exceedingly unpredictable, which may prove too much for even the most easy-going Taurus partner. In addition, the conservative habits of the Taurus native will soon grate on the nerves of the dynamic Aquarius partner, resulting in tempers beginning to show. Both love ease and comfort, but their view on how to obtain them are extrememly different. In short, this is a union that would probably best be avoided.







Initially, the Pisces native may seem very adaptable, casual and totally at ease in complying with every wish of the Taurus partner. This is likely the attitude that will hook Taurus and bring the pair together in the beginning. However, the Taurus native is in for a rude awakening when he or she discovers that Pisces wants one thing one minute and something completely different the next. While the Taurus partner will try to suggest approaching a given problem in a practical manner, Pisces will express some outlandish method...which often works out better than the suggestion of Taurus and better than even the Taurus partner would have believed possible. Native of Taurus like to have the people they know look up to them, but Pisces embraces no such ideas. In short, those governed by Pisces are indifferent to anyone's opinion, other than their own...still, there will be occasions when the Taurus individual will find that Pisces is actually dependent on him or her. It is inherent in the Pisces character to stick his or her head in the sand when problems arise, refusing to discuss them sensibly and hoping they will simply go away...which they rarely do. When there are too many problems for Pisces to countenance, then the infamous trait for heading to the nearest bar and pleasant companions in order to drown his or her sorrows will undoubtedly materialize. This unfortunate tendency is more common among the males than the females, but is a result of the Pisces tendency to be torn in two directions at the same time. Basically, the Pisces native does not find it easy to make decisions. In order to achieve longevity in this union, the Taurus partner must accept these shortcomings. On a more positive note, the psychic ability of the Pisces partner will enable him or her to keep on top of the feelings of Taurus and thus, will act and react with Taurus to ensure happiness. In a romantically physical sense, the Pisces individual will be very sensitive to all the nuances of the desires associated with Taurus and will try very hard to keep the Taurus partner happy. However, if any failure on the part of Pisces to do this brings about the criticism of Taurus, then Pisces will soon be looking for a new mate. This could be a good working match, provided the Taurus native is not looking for...or expecting...a partner who possesses a great deal of strength.



In general, this is a rather happy union. Being two positions apart in the Zodiac Wheel, these Signs have karmic ties and a deep-rooted empathy for one another. Although Pisces is idealistic, dreamy and impressionistic while Taurus is more down-to-earth and practical, this pair are both nurturers who prize harmony and stability in a relationship. Here, each has much to offer the other. Taurus is capable of providing the grounded approach that the Pisces partner needs in order to put all of his or her dreams into action. In return, Pisces can offer the kindness, gentleness and sweet sympathy that Taurus so loves in a mate. There will be times when the Taurus native cannot understand the seemingly simplistic view of life taken by the Pisces partner...but truth be told, Pisces is not really so simple at all. Pisces is truly deep.



Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Pisces by the planet Neptune...and to a limited degree, Jupiter. When Venus...symbolic of love...meets Neptune...symbolic of illusions...there is a magnificent spiritual connection. Both Venus and Neptune vibrate with feminine energy and together, represent an idealistic relationship that has been described as divine. The influence of Jupiter...symbolic of philosophy, expansion and excesses...adds a masculine energy to the combination. A match between these two Signs can produce the type of union that both individuals dream of, but the foundation for this kind of heady and dreamy connection can be just that...dreams, illusions and fantasy. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth while Pisces is governed by the element of Water. In general, these two elements are quite compatible since both Earth and Water are tangible, physical entities. Thus, Taurus can help Pisces to stablilize the inherent sensitivity while Pisces can bring a touch of magic to the practical approach of Taurus. However, care needs to be taken to ensure against too much of a good thing...after all, an over abundance of Water can turn Earth into mud. In short, Taurus could tire of Pisces' emotional instability and in turn, Pisces may feel that Taurus is insensitive to his or her needs. Fortunately, it is often easy for this pair to find a way to overcome their differences. Taurus is Fixed in quality and Pisces is mutable. Where Taurus is steady, stubborn, practical and focused, Pisces adores the sensation of mobility...the feeling of being able to move from one thought to the next according to fancy. Thus, the Taurus rigidity can hamper the flexibility of Pisces and it will be necessary for Taurus to learn how to let Pisces flow if this union is to achieve longevity. In return, Pisces will be very supportive and exceedingly loving. Pisces can show Taurus that mutability is sometimes better than a fixed determination to do thing one way...and one way only. Here, the different emotional natures of the Taurus/Pisces combination tend to complement and harmonize with each other very well. The overall empathy and commitment of this pair is valued greatly by both individuals, resulting in a relationship where the ties will usually be strong.



In essence, this combination is a very good one. The sentimental Pisces partner will find much comfort in the sympathetic nature of the Taurus individual...and the romantic, imaginative, imprerssionable and flexible Pisces native is exactly what Taurus is seeking in a mate. This couple will share their appreciation for beauty, art, sensuality and many of the other fine things life has to offer. Still, each partner here will need to keep a careful watch on his or her emotions in order for this union to work.













Natives of Taurus are probably most in tune with those governed by Capricorn, who possess the same understanding of practical values and the materialistic progress that Taurus needs in life for self-expression. A Capricorn partner will back Taurus all the way with loyalty, affection and steady plodding. The success record of a Capricorn native is good...particularly in business or farming...and Taurus will be happy...though not always necessarily ecstatic...in this pairing. For the Taurus male, a partnership with an individual governed by Capricorn can result in true love. Taurus men are down-to-earth and easy to confide in. They are also very intense and passionate, tending to bring out the hidden romantic side ofthe Capricorn nature. Both will share the qualities of being strong-willed and eager for success in life. Thus, each can help the other to maintain a focus on winning and achieving important goals. The Taurus male has a powerful personality and showers a mate with romantic attention. Hence, the Capricorn partner will feel loved and treasured in a very special way. There is much in common here, including a mutual respect and understanding of what is important in life. Both value quality in all forms and will bask in the knowledge that it is so nice to be understood. For the Taurus female, a partnership with an individual governed by Capricorn can result in lasting love. Both share so many important things, including a strong desire for security. Here, each partner will be very deep, passionate and romantic. The lovable and trustworthy nature of the Taurus female relaxes the normally serious Capricorn individual and really brings out a sense of humor. In turn, the Capricorn partner will be devoted to the Taurus woman and make her feel very special indeed. Both value hard work and the better things life has to offer...that will be invaluable if either is stressed over an issue. The Taurus female will always have a shoulder to lean on with the Capricorn native, who both respects and admires the Taurus ability to stick with something to the bitter end. A Capricorn partner can also teach the Taurus woman much about actually getting a job done.

Virgo, another Sign ruled by the element of Earth, would also be favorable, but quarrels will occur on occasion if money matters are not absolutely straightforward. Virgo natives are prone to be persnickety about the little things. Still, Virgo is a Sign that is indicative of the perfectionist...the quiet and ambitious yet affectionate individuals who also make good home-builders...and rather ideal as a mate for Taurus. For the Taurus male, a partnership with an individual governed by Virgo will be deeply passionate and possibly even spiritual. The Taurus man will encourage the Virgo native to be the best possible person and in turn, the Virgo partner will be drawn to the deeply emotional side of the Taurus male's nature. Men ruled by Taurus have a passion for life and a knack for succeeding at their goals, which will inspire Virgo partners to pursue their own personal desires. This is also one of the few love matches that is suitable for a business relationship. A Virgo partner may become frustrated at the Taurus male due to his never being on time for anything but still, there is a certain something about a Taurus man that never fails to make him appealing to the Virgo native. For the Taurus female, a partnership with an individual governed by Virgo is one where many needs, qualities and values are shared. Both yearn for a secure and committed relationship and both will strive together to create that ideal. This is also a good match in physical terms. Indeed, the adorable Taurus female will awaken inner passions in the Virgo native that were heretofor unknown. Thus, the Virgo partner will become more romantic simply by virtue of being with the Taurus woman and the Taurus woman will benefit by the Virgo individual's practice of new romantic ways. The Virgo native considers the Taurus female to be quite amazing...loyal and diligent in achieving her goals...and these are exactly the qualities that hard-working Virgo wants in a companion.
