♉ Taurus + ♐ Sagittarius · earth and fire · five signs apart

Taurus and Sagittarius compatibility

The one who planted the garden, and the one who has never stayed to see it bloom.

Taurus: April 20 – May 20. Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21.

Are Taurus and Sagittarius 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

It is an odd pair and a surprisingly warm one. Sagittarius brings laughter and horizon to a life that could use some, and Taurus offers a table worth coming back to. You both enjoy pleasure, at very different speeds.

The hard part

Taurus wants roots, and Sagittarius wants a ticket. Taurus hears freedom as a threat, and Sagittarius hears security as a slow death.

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.

Fire and earth want different things from a day. Fire wants to go and earth wants to have arrived. Fire can warm the ground or scorch it, and earth can hold a flame or smother it.

One of you holds and the other flows. Each is a rest for the other, and each can quietly wear the other out.

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.

Sagittarius is asking: Can I love you and keep the horizon? Sagittarius brings faith and fears being fenced in.

The desire under the question

Taurus wants to know you will come home. Sagittarius wants to know home will not be held against you.
