Taurus and Libra compatibility
Two children of Venus who want different things from her.
Taurus: April 20 – May 20. Libra: September 23 – October 22.
Are Taurus and Libra a good match?
Tradition calls it an awkward match rather than a bad one. What it runs on is fascination, and it lasts when curiosity outlives the confusion.
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
Tradition gives both of you the same ruler, Venus, so you share a real love of beauty and pleasure. Taurus brings the body of it and Libra brings the art of it, and there is a lovely ease in how you enjoy the world.
The hard part
Taurus wants to know what is decided, and Libra wants to keep considering. Libra needs company and conversation, while Taurus would be happy with a quiet evening. Neither of you enjoys conflict, so you can both postpone it for a very long time.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit five signs apart, a one-hundred-fifty-degree angle astrologers call a quincunx. You share no element and no way of moving, and you cannot see each other straight across the wheel either. Each of you keeps adjusting to a person you do not quite have the language for.
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.
One of you starts things and the other keeps them. That is a working partnership, as long as neither mistakes it for a contest of wills.
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.
Libra is asking: Will you still be here if I stop keeping the peace? Libra brings grace and fears being the cause of the rupture.
The desire under the question
Each of you wants a peaceful love. Ask what you have stopped saying in order to keep it.
