Aquarius and Taurus Compatibility

Steadfast Taurus and determined but quirky Aquarius approach life and love from two very diverse perspectives. Both are Fixed Signs, so the sexual attraction will be intense (partly through the fascination of difference), but in the longer term it will be very much a case of the irresistible force meeting the immovable object. You have fundamental divergences that will require lots of work, if the relationship is to survive in the longer term.

Aquarius, the Water-Bearer, is an Air Sign. You love discovering new people and places, being stimulated by the exploration of fresh ideas, untrodden pathways and cultural differences. Taurus, the Bull, an Earth Sign, is happy to plod down old tracks, for Taurus prefers the secure bulwarks of familiarity. Taurus might demand more commitment than you are willing to give, especially early in the relationship when the coals of passion are well and truly stoked up. Ruled by sensual Venus, the goddess of love, pleasure and financial reward, Taurus is inclined to be home-loving, possessive and more concerned with the material joys of life. Aquarius is ruled by cool, structured Saturn, the Lord of Karma, but is also governed by the sky-king Uranus, Lord of Misrule, so is more unorthodox and outward-looking, more questing and intellectual.

Charming Venus is artistic, pleasure-loving and brings the gift of beauty and musical talent. Venus can also be indolent, but structured Saturn sets the guidelines and will establish firm directions that the Bull will generally go along with, so long as there’s a guarantee of a good feed and a warm bed at the end of the adventure. However, both of you are stubborn and when differences arise between you, it is hard to overcome them. Taurus seems to be going along fine, but can suddenly erupt, which can be quite disconcerting.

Basically, the Bull likes to be in control, but you have constructed your own set of rules which, though they may be unconventional, suit you very well. This disturbs conservative Taurus, who approves of the tried-and-true ways. Your carefree, detached approach to love will baffle and may eventually enrage the highly passionate Bull, who doesn’t just want someone to play with. You’ll need to resolve your different attitudes to money, too, for the Bull likes to save for a rainy day, while Aquarians, while far from careless with money, are still inclined to believe that the Universe will provide.

Your Taurean lover’s possessiveness and jealousy is never likely to abate. This will incline you to pack your bags and leave, for you have a friendly and generous approach to love. Taurus is too rigid for you, so unless you have excellent Moon or Rising Sign combinations, this match is not likely to be satisfactory in the long run unless you have strong external interests in common.
