Taurus Compatibility

Score Taurus with any sign

Taurus is filled in. Pick the other Sun sign for its score, or switch to two birth dates and we look up the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars for both of you and score those. No birth time and no account needed.

Birth-date positions are calculated from NASA JPL data. Read about the data and precision. The historical date tables below use a separate PyEphem calculation.

Making a life you both enjoy

Taurus compatibility starts with a familiar question: can two people make a life they both enjoy? In astrology, fixed earth brings attention to comfort, continuity and the things you build slowly. That gives each pairing a different question to explore, from sharing decisions with another Taurus to making room for change with Gemini.

The twelve guides below cover affection, friendship, disagreements and everyday choices. There's also a useful reason to look past the Sun: in our 1950–2005 date sample, Venus was in Taurus on just 20.5% of Taurus Sun dates. The rest had Venus in Aries, Gemini, Cancer or Pisces. The Taurus sign guide covers the sign itself; here we look at it alongside someone else's.

How Taurus pairs by element

Earth pairings share a vocabulary of practical care. Taurus and Virgo explores when useful help becomes unwanted correction. Taurus and Capricorn asks how to enjoy what you've built, rather than keep postponing pleasure. With two Taurus Suns, the question is who notices when a comfortable routine needs changing. Virgo and Capricorn form trines with Taurus by sign; the earth signs guide explains that tradition.

Water introduces a different set of questions. Taurus and Cancer looks at the difference between being cared for and feeling understood. Taurus and Pisces explores how to turn a sympathetic intention into an agreement. Both form sextiles with Taurus. Taurus and Scorpio are opposite, fixed signs: a useful pairing for thinking about privacy, trust and shared control.

The air pairings don't all pose the same challenge. Taurus and Gemini distinguishes a tentative plan from a promise. Taurus and Libra share Venus as a ruler but approach agreement differently. Taurus and Aquarius puts two fixed signs into a square, raising the question of how either person revises a position.

With fire, look at what gets a decision moving. Aries and Taurus compares starting quickly with taking time to commit. Taurus and Leo considers private affection and visible appreciation. Taurus and Sagittarius asks how much a shared plan should leave open. Either person can play either role.

What astrologers mean by a good Taurus match

The familiar shortlist is Virgo, Capricorn, Cancer and Pisces. It comes from the trine and sextile configurations, traditionally read as harmonious. Ptolemy describes these sign relationships in Tetrabiblos I.13.

A supportive Sun pairing is only one part of an astrological reading. Taurus and Cancer, for example, don't necessarily have an earth-and-water pairing between their Venus signs. In our model, drawing one date independently from each sign's sample gives Venus in Taurus and Venus in Cancer in about 4.2% of pairings, which is why two Taurus and Cancer couples can score differently by birth date.

If you're interested in the affection side of the chart, start with the Venus sign calculator. Then compare the reading with what each person actually enjoys: touch, words, time together, independence or some combination.

The difficult matches: look at the disagreement itself

Sagittarius, Leo and Aquarius score lowest with Taurus. Leo and Aquarius form squares with it, and Sagittarius sits five signs away with no element or modality in common. Aries and Gemini, the neighbouring signs, land in the middle. With Sagittarius, agree which plans are firm. With Leo or Aquarius, decide how a disagreement gets settled when neither of you wants to give way.

Take a changed weekend plan. One person may hear 'I found something better'; the other may mean 'I thought we'd both enjoy this.' The useful question is whether the plan was settled, and how a change should be proposed. The Taurus and Gemini guide works through that distinction without assigning reliability to one sign and carelessness to the other.

Persistence can also become a stalemate with a supposedly easy match. Agreeing on most things doesn't teach you how to disagree. Mars in Taurus offers the astrological interpretation of a slow, sustained response to conflict, but having a Taurus Sun doesn't mean you have that Mars placement.

Taurus in friendship

The Taurus friendship archetype is easy to picture: a standing dinner, a remembered preference, someone who follows through. Routine can make a friendship feel secure, provided both friends still choose it. Ask whether the familiar plan is a pleasure or simply the plan nobody has challenged.

Friendship also leaves room for different rhythms. One friend can enjoy a regular Sunday walk and still welcome someone who suggests a new route. The pair guides apply their themes to friendship separately from romance. For another astrological perspective, Moon in Taurus and the Moon sign compatibility guide discuss comfort and emotional habits. The Moon sometimes stays in one sign throughout a birth date; near an ingress, the time is needed to settle it.

Taurus in marriage: the long-term matches

For marriage, Taurus scores highest with Virgo and Capricorn: two more earth signs who build slowly, save for the long term and keep their promises. Cancer and Pisces follow, with Scorpio level with a second Taurus. Leo, Aquarius and Sagittarius score lowest, because a marriage asks for the daily give-and-take that a fixed square or a five-sign gap makes hard work.

A marriage reading starts with the Sun sign and goes further. Helgertz and Scott's 2020 study examined Swedish register data from 1968–2001, including 66,063 marital unions, and found no consistent support for the Sun-sign compatibility classifications it tested in partner choice or divorce risk. Astrologers read a marriage from two full charts, which is why the Big Three calculator adds the Moon and rising sign to the Sun.

Soulmate lists for Taurus usually name the trines and the opposition: Virgo, Capricorn and Scorpio. In synastry, astrologers look further, at Venus and the Moon in each chart and the contacts between them. The synastry reading guide shows how they compare two full charts.

Venus, Mercury and Mars on Taurus Sun dates

We calculated one noon-UTC chart for every day from 1950 to 2005, then grouped the dates by Sun sign. Of the 1,733 Taurus Sun dates, 34.3% had Venus in Aries, 30.9% in Gemini and 20.5% in Taurus. Cancer accounted for 7.5% and Pisces for 6.8%.

Within astrology, those Venus placements suggest different themes to explore. Aries brings directness and initiative; Gemini brings conversation and variety. Venus in Taurus emphasizes touch, familiar pleasures and continuity. A Taurus Sun alone doesn't tell you which Venus interpretation belongs in the reading.

Mercury was in Taurus on 47.8% of the sampled Taurus dates, Aries on 33.4% and Gemini on 18.8%. Mars appeared in all twelve signs; Gemini, Taurus and Cancer were the most frequent in this particular window. That gives a date-based reading more to work with than a Sun pairing alone.

These are counts of dates, with every day given equal weight. They aren't a survey of people or couples, and a different birth-year window can produce different shares. Noon sampling also leaves uncertainty for births near a sign change. Use the table to understand the range of placements, then check your own dates.
