What Taurus looks for in a soulmate

Taurus loves slowly and for the long term. This sign looks for loyalty, physical affection and a calm home life, and it has little patience for games or sudden changes of plan. A Taurus soulmate is dependable and also enjoys the good things in life, such as food, comfort and unhurried time together.

The best soulmate signs for Taurus

In astrology, signs that share an element sit four signs apart on the zodiac wheel. That angle is called a trine, and tradition treats it as the most harmonious match. For Taurus, an earth sign, the two trine signs are Virgo and Capricorn.

Taurus and Virgo

Both are practical and loyal, and both show love by doing things. Tradition treats this as a calm, dependable match that builds slowly.

Taurus and Capricorn

Two earth signs who value security, patience and long term plans. This is the classic match for building a life together.

Taurus with Cancer or Pisces

These signs sit two signs away from Taurus, an angle called a sextile, and they belong to a compatible element. Water nourishes earth. Taurus brings steadiness and Cancer and Pisces bring feeling, so tradition calls these easy, supportive matches.

Taurus and Scorpio, the opposite sign

Both are fixed, loyal and strongly physical. The attraction is famous, and so is the stubbornness when the two disagree.

The hardest matches for Taurus

By the same tradition, the hardest matches for Taurus are Leo and Aquarius, which sit three signs away. All three are fixed signs, so each approaches life the same way while wanting different things. Libra and Sagittarius, five signs away, share neither an element nor a quality with Taurus. A low score describes more work, not a verdict. Plenty of happy couples have signs that clash on paper.

What a sun sign cannot tell you

Your sun sign is one factor in astrology. A full birth chart also has a moon sign, a rising sign and the positions of Venus and Mars, and those need your exact birth time and place. There is no scientific evidence that star signs predict how a relationship will go, so treat these matches as entertainment and as a prompt for thinking about what you want in a partner.
