Taurus Soulmate

Which of the other zodiac signs makes the best Taurus soulmate?

As the fixed Earth sign, Taurus is the penultimate Earth sign, embodying all of the qualities associated with the Earth element. In other words, Taurus is dependable, practical, hardworking – but also sensual, creative and luxurious.

Broadly speaking, people born under the Taurus star sign value security, beauty and prestige above all else. They place great importance on both appearances and substance – a true Taurus will not be satisfied with either one or the other. A Taurus won’t settle for anything less than the best.

But what can all of this tell us about what Taurus is looking for in a life partner, and which star sign(s) embody the qualities that Taurus is seeking? Keep reading to find out!

What makes the Taurus zodiac sign

Before we can understand which other zodiac sign is the ultimate Taurus soulmate, we have to understand what defines and makes a Taurus tick!

The Taurean personality and outlook on life are influenced by a number of key astrological factors. Here they are, in no particular order:

Taurus is an Earth sign

One of the first things anyone should know about Taurus, is that we are dealing with an Earth sign.

Earth signs are known for being down-to-Earth, practical and hardworking. Generally speaking, their word is as good as gold, and they stand firm on their opinions. They’re essentially the most reliable characters in the zodiac.

Earth signs don’t like sudden changes or surprises, with Virgo being the only occasional exception. Taurus is very much an Earth sign in this sense. Whether we are talking about the Taurus man or the Taurus woman, he or she abhors upheaval and anything that interferes with meticulously laid plans.

Taurus is not spontaneous, but is capable of just about anything that he or she puts their mind to. No other star sign is as capable as Taurus at setting long-term goals and actually achieving them. Taureans don’t trust short cuts or quick fixes in life. Instead, they show up every day and take a decisive step towards their overarching goals, which probably accounts for why they almost invariably achieve them.

Taurus is a fixed sign

Another important astrological aspect that shapes the Taurean personality is the fact that Taurus is the fixed Earth sign.

Each element has a fixed sign. Fixed signs are the signs that land in the middle of the seasons and are said to embody the very essence of their element. In other words, Taurus is the quintessential Earth sign.

All of the qualities associated with the Earth signs are extra potent and prominent in the Taurus personality. And thus earthy Taurus resents change, embraces routine, is loyal to a fault, is devoted to beauty, is family oriented, materialistic and sensual, even more so than the other Earth signs, who are also known for these traits.

Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus

Every zodiac sign is ruled by a planet, and for Taurus that planet is Venus. It is worth noting that this planet is also the namesake of the Ancient Roman goddess of love and beauty.

Taureans have a knack for improving everything they come into contact with. It upsets Taurus a great deal when something isn’t the very best that it could be. Taurus has an innate desire to make the world both better and more beautiful.

Taurus is very plugged into and in awe of the physical senses – sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. This explains why Taurus is known as the aesthete of the zodiac. Many Taureans are artists, fashion designers, chefs, architects, or even cosmetic surgeons. Beauty, luxury and quality simply appeal to them.

If there is one zodiac sign that loves being embodied, it’s Taurus. A Taurus will revel in bodily sensations and impressions, including fine foods and wines, love making, art and perfumes.

When you step into a Taurean’s home, you can usually tell right away. A Taurean’s home is rarely minimalistic. Instead, you’ll find thick velvet curtains, plump cushions, walls hung with art, vases bursting with fresh cut flowers, family photos on the mantlepiece, a well-stocked kitchen and an extensive wardrobe.

Taurus is symbolized by the Bull

The Taurus zodiac sign is symbolized by the image of a bull.

The bull represents the strength and dependability of Taurus’ character. Like the bull, Taurus is solid through and through. He or she works hard and without complaint – but is also capable of stopping to enjoy the view and the pleasures that the physical senses have to offer. Taurus is also entirely unpretentious. He or she will not be impressed by bragging, only by real results.

Another aspect of the bull is that it represents strength and virility. Bulls are powerful beings, filled with energy and enthusiasm for life.

A bull is also a gentle creature, for the most part – but if you hurt it, you’re in for a horrible time.

What Taurus is like in a relationship

Despite their pragmatic natures, Taureans are true romantics who both believe in and insist on the existence of true love. Monogamous to the core, sensual Taurus longs for deep love and intimate connection with that special someone.

Taurus loves the entire ritual of courting his or her soulmate. A Taurus truly relishes picking out or making thoughtful gifts for the object of his or her affection.

It is extremely rare for Taureans to sleep around or engage in sh0rt term flings. What the typical Taurus is after is a lasting relationship and a true soulmate connection. The typical Taurus envisions a life equally full of professional achievements and pleasurable experiences, and eventually growing old in comfort and luxury with his or her chosen life partner.

In other words, if a Taurus asks you out to dinner or brings you flowers, it means something.

Taurus is the most loyal sign of them all. In a relationship, a Taurus soulmate can be trusted and relied upon completely. Things like cheating or deceiving their partner in any respect would never cross a Taurean’s mind.

What Taurus wants and needs in a relationship

The ideal Taurus soulmate is someone who is capable of giving their Taurus partner much the same as what they receive. The key qualities that a Taurus always brings to a relationship include absolute love and devotion, as well as trust and stability. He or she wants the same things in return.

Nothing would be more unsettling to a Taurus than a lying, cheating or otherwise deceptive partner. People who are extremely chaotic, manipulative or like to play emotional games should stay far away from Taurus natives. A Taurus could conceivably fall in love with a manipulative drama queen, but it is just a matter of time before he or she would awaken to the truth, and be heartbroken.

Taurus wants love, romance, devotion and mutual respect, pure and simple.

Taurus soulmate zodiac signs

Now that you have gotten a clear idea of what defines the Taurus zodiac sign and what the ideal Taurus soulmate would be like, it is time for us to go over all of the zodiac signs to see how suitable each of them would be as Taurus’ life partner.

Fellow Earth signs

When it comes to building the loving and stable long-lasting relationship that Taurus envisions, a fellow Earth sign is often the best bet.

All in all, a Taurus has everything it takes to be the ideal Taurus soulmate. A double Taurus relationship is likely to be both romantic, stable and deep. What’s more, Two Taurus sun signs are all but guaranteed to be looking for the same things in a relationship – trust, stability, dependability and a deep emotional connection chiefly among them.

A Taurus-Taurus couple are bound to share a beautiful home, and they may also collaborate on creative projects. At the very least, the two will inspire and cheer each other on.

Capricorn and Virgo also make great Taurus soulmates. Capricorn natives are at least as hardworking and dependable as Taureans, and bring a much-desired sense of security and structure to the relationship. Their goals are also aligned, since Capricorns tend to be looking for marriage material, or at the very least, a long-term relationship. Taurus-Capricorn couples are extremely ambitious and are often regarded as a power couple.

Taurus and Capricorn are only likely to clash in one area. While both value their family life and their careers, Taurus is always looking for a good balance while Capricorn will usually put his or her career before family.

Virgo is the mutable Earth sign, which means that it is a little more flexible and adaptable than the other two Earth signs. Virgo and Taurus can forge a deep and meaningful soulmate connection, while sharing many of the same values and goals.

Taurus and Virgo want many of the same things in a relationship, and both are stable partners. As an added bonus, the fact that Virgo is as mutable sign may help Taurus to become a little more free and open.

Air signs

Unfortunately, Air signs rarely make a great match for the Taurus zodiac sign. Why is this?

Earth signs, and not least Taurus, prefer the feeling of having stable ground under their feet. They thrive within structure and tradition, while Air signs are often challenging or denouncing said structures and traditions.

If there is one zodiac sign that would make an awful Taurus soulmate, that sign is Aquarius. Aquarius is the antithesis of Taurus’ core values and preferences. Aquarius is fast-moving, fast-thinking and often very difficult to pin down. Aquarius are rebellious, entrepreneurial, and live to take risks. Being in a relationship with an Aquarius would most likely cause sensitive and sensible Taurus a lot of stress and anxiety. Relationship problems of varying degrees of severity would abound in a Taurus-Aquarius relationship.

As for the other two Air signs, Gemini and Libra, Taurus would only fare slightly better in a relationship with either of them.

Gemini’s intelligence and humour might initially attract Taurus, and the two of them could work well as friends. But when it comes to building a long-lasting relationship, the two are going to have problems. Not least because Taurus can never be completely sure where he or she has got their Gemini partner. To a stolid Taurus, Gemini can seem flakey, unreliable and even infuriatingly deceptive.

Much the same is true for Libra. Although Taurus and Libra share a mutual admiration, the two are hardly soulmate material. Whereas Taurus likes to plan and execute on a specific long-term plan in life, Libra likes to take big chances and risks. These two sun signs are simply too fundamentally different for true soulmate compatibility.

Fire signs

As for the Fire signs, Taurus may be drawn to their intensity and charisma, but can a long-term relationship flourish with any of them?

Fire signs are known for being particularly strong-willed, and this is not least true for Aries, the cardinal Fire sign. Whereas Taurus is slow-moving but constant, Aries is spontaneous and sometimes erratic. Bot have a temper, however, so if these two lock horns, sparks are going to fly! While these two may not be an ideal soulmate match, an emotional connection can still be established between them, and they may even have a shot at a long-lasting bond.

Relationships between Taurus and Leo natives can work spectacularly well, if the two signs take their time and learn how to navigate each other’s company. Here are two fixed signs that, although very different on the surface, share important common ground. Both are loyal and protective of their loved ones, and both are ambitious and creative. All in all, the Taurus-Leo combo makes for an exciting relationship, where both are able to bring out the best in the other.

Taurus and Sagittarius are two signs that are so different that they are bound to struggle if they attempt to make a long-term relationship work. The two may have initial chemistry, but once that has been explored or exhausted, their differences are bound to really stand out. Taurus is capable of complete absorption in a project, while Sagittarius requires constant mental stimulation and seeks out distractions. Taurus is a bit of a homebody, while Sagittarius is all about the van life. This is not to say that relationships between these two signs can never work – only that they are unlikely to, in the long run.

Water signs

Taurus has an affinity for the Water signs, as they have something every Taurus craves, while also craving something that every Taurus has to give.

Cancer may be the best Taurus soulmate. When these two come together, they have the ability to forge a nurturing, loving and comfortable relationship. Cancer is private, protective, and has lots of love and affection to give. Taurus provides stability and love in return.

Scorpio is another serious contender for the title of ideal Taurus soulmate. Scorpio is best known for feeling deeply and intensely – and this is something that Taurus welcomes with open arms. Sure, Scorpio has a stinger, but Taurus isn’t the kind of lover to provoke it. Instead, Taurus can be the devoted and loving partner that Scorpio craves, and vice versa.

Pisces is the least likely Water sign to make a good Taurus soulmate. The reason for this is that Pisces is too unrealistic, too much of a dreamer, a little too floaty for Taurus’s liking. Taurus can lose his or her patience with a creative and nurturing Pisces partner who nevertheless fails to do their chores or forgets to pick the kids up at school. Still, Pisces and Taurus may be attracted to each other, and if Pisces manages to mature, and Taurus manages to relax a little, a relationship may flourish between them.

Conclusion: These signs are most compatible with Taurus

There are no hard and fast rules about which signs a Taurus should or shouldn’t date or marry. However, it is possible to make generalisations, and that is exactly what we have been doing throughout this article.

There may well be examples of thriving relationships between Taurus and Sagittarius natives, but you can be sure that they are few and far between. Instead, you will probably have encountered many happy and flourishing Taurus-Taurus, Taurus-Capricorn, Taurus-Virgo, Taurus-Cancer, Taurus-Scorpio or Taurus-Leo couples.

Every Taurus is different and is likely to be looking for slightly different things in a romantic partner. But even so, a fellow Taurus, a Capricorn, a Virgo, a Cancer, a Leo or a Scorpio are likely to possess the very traits that make them suitable Taurus soulmates and life partners.
