TAURUS + TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Love is sweet and stabilizing when two earthy Toros settle down in the pasture together. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the goddess of beauty and love, which makes you both masters of pleasure and leisure. Your shared life becomes a sun-dappled serenade—well, when you’re not locking horns in a bullfight. Fortunately, the fierce stampedes are rare between you. The most lethal “charging” for your acquisitive sign happens on Amex Black. Taurus rules the material world, and while you’ll work your fingers to the bone, you also adore fine luxuries. As the zodiac’s most sensual sign, Taurus has a highly attuned sense of smell, taste, and touch, as well as an eye for beauty. As a couple, your home is not just your castle but an art gallery, listening lounge, movie theater, and gourmet restaurant. Renovating often becomes a shared passion for two Bulls, and you’re forever updating your cohabitation station with state-of-the-art fixtures and upgrades. There’s always an occasion to celebrate, and you love to invite people into your grand yet cozy salon to feast, imbibe, show off your collectibles, and talk about your latest passions. But the true heartbeat for a Taurus-on-Taurus couple will be your ever-expanding circle of friends and family. Children, grandchildren, parents, siblings—as long as you’re on good terms (and even when you’re not), they’re a tireless topic. Although you’re creatures of habit, you can grow lazy and indulgent together. To offset that tendency, bring in third parties like personal trainers, nutritionists, and motivating friends to keep you on top of your game.
TAURUS + GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Taurus is a sensible, grounded earth sign, while Gemini is a whimsical, social air sign. Despite the gnawing doubts about your genuine compatibility, you insist on forging ahead together. Nine times out of 10, your first instinct was correct: Your signs rarely have more in common beyond a lusty urge for try-anything-twice sex. For two raw and physical signs, that can be enough to bond and start thinking “happily ever after,” especially when Taurus’ planning powers kick in. The post-orgasmic glow might not wane until after you’ve intertwined your lives—often to the point where leaving would get messy. Perhaps there are enough good reasons to stay after all. For one, you make great business partners. Gemini is creative and media-savvy; Taurus has an instinctive knack for sound financial moves and marketing. You’re both visual and gifted with color and style. When Gemini’s clever quirks unite with Taurus’ elegance, you’ve got a high-end specialty brand in the bag. Want to keep the bedroom hot and business booming? You’re going to have to master some advanced communication skills. Gemini loves to debate and play devil’s advocate, which gets a rise out of Taurus, who skews more sensitive and literal. Ethical Taurus is a know-it-all who loves to be right. Experimental Gemini believes that rules were made to be broken and hates to hear, “I told you so,” especially from a lover. Can you go against your core natures in the name of love? If you want this to last, you’d better learn how. Agree to disagree, hear each other out, and hire a mediator, if you must.
TAURUS + CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Who says you can’t meet a “high school sweetheart” at any age? When traditional Taurus unites with classical Cancer, it’s an instant throwback to the good old days, before you were hurt or jaded by love. Make a budget for monogrammed towels and matching rocking chairs. No two signs are more sentimental or family-oriented than the Bull and the Crab. Although the vibe can be cloying, you’re a love story for the ages. Since you share a rather conventional moral compass in affairs of the heart, you might emulate your own parents or compensate for their relationship shortcomings by setting up a white-picket-fence fantasy together. Affectionate and nurturing, you crave lifelong security and a comfortable home, and you’ll squirrel away a sizable nest egg together. Not that you don’t indulge—your signs both appreciate art, culture, design, music, and gourmet food. An entertainment budget will be required for the roster of shows and galas you’ll attend as a pair. Should you become parents, you’ll be protective but firm. Taurus doles out tough love in your children’s best interest while nurturing Cancer kisses every boo-boo. Gallery walls of family photos will pair with large-scale art throughout your home. At times, Taurus’ booming voice and blunt remarks wound the Crab’s tender feelings. Like a bull in a Bernardaud shop, Taurus doesn’t realize their own size, strength, and intensity and will need to dial down the volcanic energy. While intuitive Cancer doesn’t need every point driven home, the Crab must overcome insecurities and toughen up, since Taurus doesn’t mince words or tiptoe through the tulips for anyone. Sure, there will be tears and misunderstandings, but there’s nothing that any recipe calling for heavy cream can’t solve.
TAURUS + LEO (July 23 – August 22)
This dynamic coupling is as stable as a lit match and a bag of bottle rockets. Yet, you can’t resist playing with fire just to see what happens. The sexual pyrotechnics alone are certainly tempting, and yes, there will be fireworks once you decide to experiment. The bad news? You’re both proud, fierce, and a touch egotistical—two incurable hotheads. The good news? You’re insanely attracted to each other’s showy flair. When it’s good, it’s damn good; each of you will get all the affection, doting, and hero-worship you crave. You love to glam up and paint every town together like rock-star royalty. When you’re in power-couple mode, you’ll draw attention wherever you go. Be warned that your shared vanity might keep you together past the relationship’s prime. Sex is raw, lusty, and hands-on. When the Lion tangoes in the sheets with the Bull, there might be bites and scratches. With your combined charisma and willpower, you could overthrow a midsized government or form your own dynastic regime. Bad days are brutal, though. The Lion assumes they’re in charge of everything, but nobody bosses the Bull around. While you’re not necessarily competitive with one another, you will both vie for domination. Drama, shouting, and ego showdowns are your favorite weapons of mass destruction, and woe betide the day you turn those on each other. You’re both capable of enacting a scene that brings down the house. Build a pair of time-out chairs—make that time-out thrones—and commit to retreating there as quickly as possible when your sizable tempers begin to flare. Emotional regulation techniques like these will be the saving grace of an otherwise luxurious bond.
TAURUS + VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
The earth sign duo of Taurus and Virgo blends like Ladakh cashmere and the finest merino wool. Straight out the gates, it’s haute heaven for you two. High-end Taurus levels up the luxury and deal-hunting Virgo makes sure you enjoy every treasure for the best possible price. You’re what could be described as a “lovely couple,” with uncompromising taste, social graces, and old-fashioned values. Although your earthy natures can also make you hippies at heart, you tend toward the traditional, and you both like possessions of quality. You’ll set up a lovely, well-appointed home, though Taurus might have to fight neat-freak Virgo to keep the plastic slipcovers off the sofas and doilies off the appliances. Virgo is ruled by intellectual Mercury and Taurus by pleasure-loving Venus. As a result, Taurus is more feisty, raw, and direct, which can rock Virgo’s need to keep things measured and controlled. It’s good to have sensible Virgo around to pull the brake. Responsible Virgo has far more self-control than hedonistic Taurus—but perhaps too much. The Bull can teach the Maiden a thing or two about relaxation and decadence. Make a budget for spa dates! In private, you’re both sensual and erotic. You can spend hours wrapped contentedly in your silk sheets, munching on gourmet snacks in between streaming series and nonstop sex. In public, you share a judgmental streak, noticing every flaw or social misstep. If you’re too intent on fancying yourselves superior to the world, you might limit your horizons. Open your minds and be willing to try something “lowbrow” or off your beaten paths. It keeps life interesting.
TAURUS + LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
Could it be kismet? Your signs are both ruled by Venus, the planet of glamour, beauty, and sweet, sweet love, which makes you undeniably attracted to each other. The differences between you, however, are palpable. Taurus is a fixed earth sign who builds a castle by the sweat of their brow, then lords over its inhabitants. Libra is cardinal air, a queen bee who buzzes around, ruling the hive without doing the drone-work. You both want to be in charge, but your clashing leadership styles create a patchwork parliament that can’t agree on anything. Grounded Taurus plants their hooves on terra firma, while airy Libra lives in the clouds. Of course, if the Bull is content to be the provider while Libra dresses up and plays charming host, then this match can work like a charm. You’re certainly an attractive pair of aesthetes, and you share high-end tastes in fashion, décor, food, and all the Venusian pleasures. Shameless snobbery is a shared affliction, but neither of you cares to be cured. You love to talk about art, literature, politics, music, and everything under the sun—though Taurus might find Libra’s values superficial, and moderate Libra will take offense to the Bull’s heavy-handed opinions. At least your sexual attraction is strong, and that will take you far enough. However, conflict-avoiding Libra will need to build up some backbone to avoid being steamrolled by dominating Taurus. The Bull will need to turn down the volume, and Libra must get better at addressing issues head-on, rather than letting them fester.
TAURUS + SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
There’s a thin line between love and hate in this opposite-sign pairing. You both like to run the show, albeit by different sets of rules. Glamorous, elegant Taurus is the boss Bull who wins people over by providing pleasure and decadence. Mysterious Scorpio rules with power and control and puts people through loyalty tests before they gain inner-circle access. As you both have your own “territories” to reign over, you can make a formidable pair. But if you tread onto each other’s turf, look out. Differences can be a turn-on for some zodiac combinations, but for this pair, they’re often a deal-breaker. Taurus and Scorpio are both “fixed” signs, gifted at perseverance and holding ground, terrible at adapting to other people’s personalities. This inflexibility can lead to serious power struggles and enmity that burns bright after the relationship ends. If ever a couple needed a prenup, it’s you. Better yet, you’ll need to be extremely self-aware and conscious of your personal power. If you can avoid arousing the sleeping dragon in each other, there’s plenty of rich material here. You both love music, food, and sensual delights. You’re equally intense about your beliefs and passions, and sex is a lusty, no-holds-barred affair. You’ll give each other the attentive listening both of you crave. The Bull’s earthy nature can be grounding for watery Scorpio, whose emotions can warp their perspective. Practical Taurus will pull Scorpio out of depressive slumps, and Scorpio will help Taurus look below the surface to see hidden motivations and agendas. You’re loyal and protective of each other, so stay off each other’s sacred turf, and respect your differences.
TAURUS + SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
With your vastly divergent temperaments and tastes, this match demands extreme adaptation. You’re either insanely attracted to each other or instantly repelled, and there’s not much gray area. Comfort-loving Taurus is a traditional earth sign with a talent for creating an elegant family home. Globe-trotting Sagittarius is a rule-flouting fire sign who quickly settles in wherever the plane lands next. The Bull sticks to a simple tried-and-true set of beliefs, collecting wisdom from historic sages, while the Archer is a lifelong philosopher, forever on a quest for the next level of enlightenment, which often comes from the trendiest guru who pops up on their social media feed. Sagittarius’ anything-goes nature invites friends from all walks of life. The Archer’s global embrace can irritate Taurus, who doesn’t feel the need to befriend every person they meet or remain lifelong pals with exes (though the Bull can certainly rant about them). Jealousy can be an issue on both sides. However, you can make an excellent team, if you respect each other’s strengths. Taurus is practical and sophisticated, a grounding force that streamlines the Archer’s expansive visions. Between the Bull’s business acumen and Sagittarius’ media savvy, you can build an empire—especially with your driven work ethics. You both have a ribald, lusty side to your personalities and misbehaving together can be a naughty thrill. With your hot tempers, you can go from zero to 60 fast, and arguments can be explosive. Your peace treaties should always take place at the dinner table. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, God of the feast, Taurus by Venus, planet of pleasure and love. Satisfying your bottomless appetites awakens a primal instinct in you both—you’ll be peeling each other’s clothes off at the table and serving dessert in bed.
TAURUS + CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
You’re fellow earth signs who vibe so well together you might slip right into a relationship without even realizing it’s happening. By day, you’re both hard-driving workaholics. Taurus is the plodding Bull, Capricorn the sure-footed Mountain Goat. Any business venture you launch together is destined to thrive, and you share a deep respect for tradition, family, and long-term security. You’re both shrewd financial planners, though your love of earthly pleasures can break the bank if you go overboard with the baller antics. Once you punch out and uncork the Veuve, all bets (and budgets!) are off. Weekend warriors, you morph into a pair of hedonists. Sleeping, lounging, and enjoying all-day sex are favorite pastimes, and when it’s downtime, a forklift couldn’t pry you out of bed. However, Capricorn is far more self-disciplined than the indulgent Bull. Taurus is ruled by Venus, the goddess of beauty and pleasure, Capricorn by strict Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster. Where Taurus can go hard on the self-aggrandizing, self-deprecating Cappy flogs themself for even the slightest misstep. Saturn’s repression also gives Capricorn a pessimistic side. The Goat can fall into melancholy or fatalistic spells that confound pragmatic, solution-oriented Taurus. Capricorn believes in planning for rainy days; but as karma goes, plan for a downpour, and you’ll surely get one. Taurus will simply pack an oversized designer umbrella and remind Capricorn that there’s only so much one can do to ensure safety and security. Why spoil the moment worrying so much? You both have something to teach each other. The Bull is gifted at savoring the present, while nostalgic Capricorn obsesses over the past and the future. Strive to get your timing right, and you’ll keep this relationship easy like Sunday morning.
TAURUS + AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Taurus brings a strong sense of ethics, and Aquarius is a hopeless idealist, which works well if you have a shared sense of values. Without a common outlook on right and wrong, however, this match quickly devolves into a power struggle. Traditional Taurus can be old-fashioned, craving order and security. Future-forward Aquarius is a rebel who lives to flout convention. Taurus is an earth sign who plants deep roots; air sign Aquarius is an adventurous nomad who goes wherever the wind blows. As long as you allow the other to “just be,” you can be a complementary duo, but that’s easier said than done. Material-minded Taurus longs to build a life with a partner with whom they can share comforting daily routines while growing into a family unit. Free-spirited Aquarius will flee from the Bull’s possessive grip, which only clenches tighter the more Aquarius flits about. Then there’s the matter of your social circles, which rarely overlap. Aquarius habitually befriends the most eccentric people—the coffee-shop mystic who claims to have solved string theory and graffiti artists living in a co-op house. While Taurus might chat up these characters in passing, all hell breaks loose when Aquarius invites their pack of wayward souls to stop by or crash for a few nights (or indefinitely). Not on Taurus’ leather sofa and mohair throw blanket! You can try to compromise, but you’ll only end up short-changing your natural gifts. Aquarius rules the zodiac’s 11th house of friends and society. This sign is the unofficial mayor of Everytown and is meant to circulate among the people. Homebody Taurus has much more earthbound goals, like raising kids and living a life of healthy decadence. It can be hard to achieve the satisfaction you crave in this union, unless you’re willing to accept your fundamental differences.
TAURUS + PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
This is a lovely match of two pleasure-driven sensualists whose shared soundtrack is filled with seductive slow jams (and a few punk ballads thrown in for good measure). Taurus is ruled by the planet of beauty, Venus, and Pisces is governed by enchanting Neptune. Your courtship phase might resemble a Dionysian orgy of gourmet meals, wine tastings, and decadent weekends in five-star lodging. Once you settle into a more formal groove, you naturally become a creative couple with sophisticated flair. You never run out of things to discuss, whether’s the latest New York Times think piece, art theory, or the obscure band both of you discovered while in college. In the bedroom, the lusty Bull is happy to enact any fantasy that Pisces’ boundless imagination conjures—and there will be plenty. Domestic bliss is assured, and your fussy decorating styles will match perfectly, much to your snobbish delight. For the long term, you’ll need to regulate your energy with each other, or you can devolve into a nonstop power struggle. Passive-aggressive Pisces must become more assertive, and forceful Taurus should relax their domineering ways. At times, Pisces’ secretive spells can cause fissures in the foundation, arousing suspicion in full-frontal Taurus. Even if what Pisces is hiding is inconsequential, the mystery itself destabilizes the relationship. Emotional manipulation infuriates the Bull, who prefers everything above board and hates to be blindsided. Trouble is, Pisces can’t always verbalize complex feelings as quickly as Taurus demands. Too much forcefulness can intimidate the gentle Fish, sending Pisces swimming into unreachable depths.
TAURUS + ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
When the charging Bull locks horns with the fierce, fiery Ram—nostrils flaring, heads bowed in determination—get ready for a courtship that’s as splashy and menacing as a Pamplona stampede. While aggression might be frowned upon in today’s society, it’s part of our Darwinian nature. That’s certainly the case for Aries and Taurus. No weak-willed mate will pass the natural selection process for either sign. You both want a partner who is strong enough to protect you. And you’ll pull out all the stops, from doe-eyed charm to full-on steamrolling to test each other’s ferocity. This initial face-off is simply a warning shot: Show me your strength, so I can trust you. Once the fanfare is over, you make a top-notch team, the fittest survivors who can make it for the long-term, like Victoria (Aries) and David (Taurus) Beckham. Head-turners by nature, you both like to dress up and flaunt your natural superiority over the rest of the animal kingdom. The deal is sweet for both of you: Taurus gets an impressive superstar and a lusty mate to satisfy their earthy libido; Aries has a lifelong provider (and sometimes benefactor) who can foot the bill for their ever-changing whims and keep the home fires burning. Issues can arise if Taurus grows too possessive or tries to tame independent Aries. Languid Taurus will need to remain active to keep pace with the energetic Ram. You both crave attention, but don’t go looking for it outside the relationship, unless you want a real showdown. Like two tots in a nursery, you share a favorite word: mine.
