Taurus, ruled by Venus, is a sign that loves to love and be in love. Naturally peaceful, patient, and sensual, the Cosmic Bull is made for relationships. Any sign would be lucky to land a Taurus and to find themselves compatible with this most romantic of zodiac signs. Let’s explore Taurus compatibility further.
With all of that said, Taurus is also not always the easiest sign to pin down. A fixed earth sign, Taurus is slow to warm up, cautious, and careful of giving their hearts away to just anyone. Because when they do eventually allow their heart to open, it’s usually for life. Taurus loves to commit and have their number one person for life. This is a sign resistant to change, making their choice of partner extremely important to them to avoid the pain and stress of heartbreak.
So, once you have a Taurus, trust they’ll seldom – if ever – let you go. Like a swan, Taurus is a mate for life, a soul companion who will always be there for you, solid and dependable. Nothing shakes the Taurus. They’re wonderful at creating a sense of calm and safety in a relationship, which helps to foster intimacy and closeness.
Read on to explore what else you can expect when you’re in love with a Taurus, which signs are most compatible, and which should be avoided.
What is a Taurus Best Match?
When it comes to Taurus compatibility, there are a few great matches, but the top two would probably have to be Pisces and Cancer, in that order. These two water signs prove to be deeply nourishing for the soft soul of the Taurus, nurturing and supportive. Earth signs always go well with water signs simply because there’s a sense of truly ‘getting’ one another. Earthy Taurus makes Pisces and Cancer feel safe and held in their emotions, whereas these two water signs soften the harder edges of Taurus and are patient with their stubborn, inflexible nature.
Pisces, in particular, works well with Taurus. The reason for this is that Pisceans tend to be very spiritual in their energy, which the Taurus deeply needs, being a somewhat materially driven sign themselves. This creates a beautiful balance of the physical and the spiritual in their relationship. Pisces also supports Taurus unconditionally and loves them no matter what. This helps Taurus to feel very secure and safe. In return, Taurus loves taking care of practical matters for the dreamy Pisces, making them feel loved and adored.
Taurus and Cancer are also very well matched. They both love home and hearth and will likely settle down to a very comfortable, easy, and tasteful lifestyle together, especially if they decide to have a family.
Who is the Soulmate of a Taurus?
Although Pisces and Cancer are very well matched for Taurus, they don’t compare to the compatibility that arises when Taurus and Scorpio get together. Scorpio is the opposite sign to Taurus, making them highly attracted to one another. That saying about opposites attracting is especially true for this couple. In fact, when it comes to astrological statistics, it’s been found that Taurus and Scorpio often stay together the longest out of every zodiac pair.
Yes, there will be issues, seeing as both are fixed signs and, therefore, can be a little stubborn, to say the least. Luckily, Taurus just doesn’t stand for Scorpio’s drama. They are calm and patient in even the wildest of Scorpio storms. This helps Scorpio to feel very safe in the expression of their deep feelings. Scorpio also knows that because Taurus tends to commit for life, they can reveal all of themselves.
In return, Scorpio provides depth and intensity to what could otherwise be a very boring or stagnant existence for Taurus. Taurus needs a little drama and a little change. They need the intensity that Scorpio brings. Together, this is a match made in heaven – you can’t get much more compatible than when you put a Taurus and Scorpio together.
Taurus Compatibility: What is Taurus' Worst Match?
So, now that we know the best matches for Taurus, what are some of the worst? There are three that tend to stand out the most as the least compatible with the cosmic bull. The first of these is Gemini. Runners-up are Sagittarius and Aries.
Why Gemini first? Well, it’s often said that when signs fall side by side on the wheel of the zodiac the way that these two do, there’s a struggle to see eye to eye. Taurus just doesn’t always ‘get’ the Gemini, and vice versa. Geminis tend to be flighty, non-committal, and restless, always needing change and variety. There’s just nothing more uncomfortable to Taurus than the drive for continual change. Taurus loves a good routine. They love being in control of their day-to-day world. They know their favorite things and stick to them. Plus, Gemini’s unwillingness to commit to anything and always change plans will drive the Taurus crazy over time.
The same could be said for Taurus and Sagittarius. Sagittarians are equally flighty and eager for adventure and experience. Taurus loves experiences, too, but not as spontaneously and unexpectedly as Sagittarius would like. These two can have plenty of good times together. Still, eventually, Taurus may become tired of the constant restless energy of fiery Sagittarius and how they never seem to want the same peace as Taurus does.
Lastly, Taurus and Aries also tend to butt heads – literally. The Bull and the Ram are often found to be at odds with each other simply due to their headstrong natures. There’s plenty of spice in this connection, but it could lead to tears later down the line.
Who is Taurus Attracted to?
So, which of the zodiac signs is Taurus usually the most attracted to?
Strangely enough, it’s usually Aquarius that Taurus finds fascinating. Much of the time, Taurus ends up marrying this interesting creature, even though they aren’t classically compatible. Nevertheless, because Saturn, the planet of commitment, traditionally rules Aquarius, and Taurus by Venus, the planet of love, this combination tends to provide a kind of glue that keeps this couple going, even when they are both being completely inflexible.
Taurus is attracted to Aquarius because they’re just so different from everyone else. Aquarius is gracious, charming, and independent. They’re a breath of fresh air for the Taurus, stimulating their minds and making them see the world in a new way.
Taurus is also often very attracted to the seductive Libran. Both are ruled by Venus, which makes both very geared towards relationships. These two love the good life and will also find each other very physically appealing. Plus, they both love harmony and peace, making this relationship feel very easy.
Finally, Taurus might also be very attracted to Capricorn, a fellow earth sign. Capricorn is sensual, practical, and grounded, just like Taurus. There’s just something similar that these two signs find enjoyable about each other.
Taurus Compatibility: Who will Taurus Marry?
Marriage is an important aspect when exploring Taurus compatibility. Taureans are made for marriage; they’re practically built for it. Admittedly, it does take a long time for any Taurus to decide to tie the knot. But, when they do, they tend to take it very seriously indeed.
The three signs Taurus is most likely to marry are Aquarius, Scorpio, and Libra. Aquarius, because they’re (surprisingly) as committed as Taurus is. Even though Aquarius loves their independence, they are deeply loyal, just like Taurus.
The runner-up would have to be Scorpio. However, it might be argued that Scorpio should take first place. These two are usually found in a monogamous, profoundly committed relationship with each other. There will be plenty of highs and lows, but they’ll stick to each other like glue.
The final contender for marriage with a Taurus would be Libra. Venus rules both, and they will have a loving, harmonious, and sweet connection. They adore each other and will shower one another with gifts and compliments. Together, they create a calm, adoring atmosphere.
Who is Taurus Not Compatible With?
Aside from the top three most incompatible signs with Taurus – Gemini, Sagittarius, and Aries – the other fire sign of Leo can be a challenge for Taurus to be in a relationship with. Although these two love the finer things in life, which makes them have a great deal of fun together, Leo’s dramatic energy might just be too much for the peaceful, calm Taurus. Leo needs a lot of attention, and Taurus is happy to give it, but may find them a little demanding. Both can be very inflexible, which doesn’t help things. If they can learn to be adaptable, their relationship has plenty of potential, as both tend to be extremely loyal.
Otherwise, other than these four signs, the rest of the zodiac is fairly compatible with sweet Taurus. All it takes is patience, a willingness to be flexible, enjoyment of cuddles, good food, and a peaceful and calm atmosphere to enjoy a full and sensual relationship with this most committed individual.
