Taurus and Aquarius compatibility
The one who keeps everything, and the one who questions everything.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20. Aquarius: January 20 – February 18.
Are Taurus and Aquarius a good match?
Tradition calls it a hard match. Plenty of long loves are built on it, because neither of you gets to fall asleep.
I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.
What draws you together
You are both as stubborn as anyone on the wheel, and there is a strange respect in that. Aquarius shakes loose what Taurus has stopped questioning, and Taurus gives Aquarius something real to come back down to.
The hard part
Taurus wants warmth and closeness, and Aquarius needs distance to think. Neither will budge. Your very different ideas of what love should look like can stand as a permanent standoff.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit three signs apart, a ninety-degree angle astrologers call a square. You move through the world the same way, but in elements that do not agree. Tradition names this friction, and friction is also how a fire gets lit.
Air and earth speak different languages. One of you lives in what could be, the other in what is, and you each hold a piece the other cannot get alone.
You are both keepers. Neither of you moves easily, which makes for great loyalty, and for silences that can last a season.
What each of you is really asking
Taurus is asking: Can I put my whole weight on you? Taurus brings steadiness and fears being hurried out of what is already good.
Aquarius is asking: Can I belong to you and still belong to myself? Aquarius brings honest strangeness and fears being absorbed.
The desire under the question
Taurus wants to be touched, and Aquarius wants to be understood. Each of you is wondering why the other does not simply want the same thing.
