When Taurus and Aquarius come together, they can move mountains - if they can
figure out how to coordinate their efforts. Taurus's practical, down-to-earth
approach to life is about as opposite as can be to Aquarius's unconventional,
out-of-this-world approach to just about everything! Taurus resists change and
Aquarius is the most progressive of all 12 Signs of the Zodiac. How do these two
get along, then? They may appear to have few common interests, but they share a
very strong desire to succeed - which means they may make better business
partners than lovers. If you can give a Taurus security, beauty, nature and
pleasure you have a better chance of getting their love and affection. If you
can give an Aquarius tolerance, choices, and something new and different, you
have a greater chance of getting their love and affection.
This is a most unlikely match, Taurus, but it often happens that you are
strangely attracted to the unique and original Water Bearer. Of course, after
the initial sparks cool, you may wonder what you could have possibly been
thinking when you joined forces with someone so different from yourself. In the
end, this relationship will only work out if both parties are willing to
compromise and grow. For each of you, the force of habit is strong. More than
likely, you're both determined, purposeful and persistent. This relationship is
a test of wills. Neither one of you is easily pushed, pulled or pressured. Once
you commit to each other, this relationship can become steady, stable and a
powerhouse. Stand firm on the conviction that you are working to overcome
inertia together.
Since these two can both be extremely opinionated, they must take care not to
get into arguments, especially because of their dissimilar reactions to tension:
When Taurus gets angry they tend to charge like the Bulls that they are; when
Aquarius feels pressure, they tend to pull away, using an aloof demeanour to put
space between themselves and their 'tormentor.' This can make Taurus push even
harder, causing Aquarius to pull further away ... and so on. They like to do
things their way with as little fuss as possible. Modern, progressive Aquarius
may find Taurus's dedication to routine a bit boring. Taurus will find Aquarius
exciting yet may feel frustrated trying to keep up with this inventor's quick
mind. Despite their differences, however, they do have something to offer one
another. Though Aquarius will have a hard time admitting it - even to
themselves, they'll find Taurus's solid base to be comfortingly supportive, and
Taurus will find Aquarius stimulating, if not altogether comfortable.
Taurus likes to touch nice things, own nice things, wear nice things, eat nice
things and have nice things. For Taurus touch or the physical world is real and
gives comfort. Essentially, Aquarius is friendly and likes people. But if the
people are emotionally needy, then Aquarius needs space. Aquarius can march to
the beat of a different drummer. Aquarius can have an eccentric temperament and
can be just a bit strong, original, independent, unpredictable and contrary.
Aquarius is well suited to become an idea person.
Essentially, Taurus needs to be assured that everything's O.K., safe and secure.
Once that's taken care of Taurus is ready for gracious living. That is to say,
Taurus need some good food, antique furniture and passionate sex.
The differences between you are legion. Taurus is notorious for your dislike of
change, but Aquarius thrives on the new and unusual. Especially the unusual. In
fact, the more unusual, the better for Aquarius, which may have Taurus looking
for the nearest exit when he or she comes home with an ostrich she agreed to
baby-sit for a week or two. Taurus, on the other hand, prefer the tried and
true. Comfortable, familiar surroundings make them feel safe, and a secure Bull
is a happy one. Your idea of heaven is likely to be a home-cooked meal followed
by relaxing comfortably in your own garden patio, which Aquarius could do well
to experience now and then. Everyone needs to be grounded and centred, which is
something you come by naturally. In return, your Aquarius partner can help you
open up to the wonderful possibilities in life, and to be less afraid of an
uncertain and changeable future.
It is important that Taurus acquire some mastery over the physical, practical
and earthly world. Then, paradoxically, Taurus must learn to let go. Taurus will
only find security by acquiring a sense of self that is separate from
possessions. Aquarius can become a fabulous communicator, perceptive,
intelligent and highly intuitive. Aquarius is no snob or hypocrite. On the
contrary, Aquarius has the potential to develop tremendous social skills. The
more Aquarius adopts the "live and let live" attitude, the more friends Aquarius
will make.
Taurus is ruled by Venus (Love) and Aquarius is ruled by Saturn (Karma) and
Uranus (Rebellion). Venus is a warm, feminine energy and Saturn a cold masculine
energy. Uranus is about all things strange and unusual. Venus focuses on beauty,
romance and sensual pleasures, all of which are important and pleasing to
Taurus. Saturn causes Aquarius to focus on hard work and discipline to achieve
goals; Uranus lends an Aquarius that revolutionary thinking. Taurus can show
Aquarius that life is based on emotions and improved by beauty and comfort.
Aquarius can show Taurus how to keep striving for betterment -and how to move
away from something if it isn't working, an important lesson for Taurus to
learn.
As an Earth Sign, Taurus may find it very hard to relate to the Water Bearer's
Air Sign nature. You thrive on outward and concrete expressions of affection,
while Aquarius may seem detached and emotionally unavailable at times.
Possessiveness is a natural instinct for you, but Aquarius is a fiercely
independent and unpredictable soul. Of course, because you are both Fixed Signs,
you are equally capable of great loyalty and devotion. It is better for you to
be friends than to be enemies, because as enemies you could potentially destroy
each other! This is usually a difficult combination and not recommended for the
faint of heart. Harmonious aspects between Moon and Ascendant can increase the
potential for compatibility, and with patience and understanding this can be a
rewarding relationship.
