When Taurus and Libra come together in a love affair, it
can be the unification of two halves of a whole. These two Signs are
thought of as being karmically linked. They're both looking for
security in a relationship and they share a love of art, poetry and
culture. This relationship may start slowly as, on the surface, they
might have few common interests. However, once they understand one
another they may learn they have much more in common than was first
apparent.
Taurus and Libra both have a love for the arts. They
appreciate fine dining and theater, collecting art and music. Pleasure
-- physical, aesthetic -- is a premium for these two Signs. They both
love to woo and be wooed; courtship is a necessary part of any romantic
relationship for them, and since they both have this need, they fit
well
together. Taurus appreciates Libra's charm; if stubborn Taurus
doesn't
get their way, diplomatic Libra is able to smooth things over and keep
the peace. Libra appreciates the luxuries that sensual Taurus provides
them. They also have much to teach one another: Libra can help Taurus
see the different sides of a situation, and Taurus can help Libra
overcome their notorious indecision.
Both Taurus and Libra are
ruled by the Planet Venus (Love and Money). These partners share a love
of beauty, luxury, love and romance. Libra in particular is keen on
balance; both partners have charming personalities and desire harmony
in
their personal relationships. Venus's influence can create problems as
well, however; these two Signs can both tend toward laziness and
snobbery, Taurus based on possessions and Libra based on intellect.
Taurus is an Earth Sign and Libra is an Air Sign. Taurus gets
through life relying on their innate practicality, while Libra relies
on
intellectual exploration. Taurus asks, "How will this help me achieve
my
goals in life?" Libra, on the other hand, focuses on intellectual
stimuli, whether it's practical or not. Conflicts can arise in this
relationship if Taurus seems too possessive or Libra seems too
flirtatious and social. Sometimes they just don't quite understand
where the other is coming from. If they want theirs to be a
long-lasting
relationship, they must learn to accept that their views of the world
are different in tone and focus.
Taurus is a Fixed Sign and
Libra
is a Cardinal Sign. In general in this relationship, Libra initiates it
and Taurus keeps it going. A Fixed Sign won't budge, and Libra needs
to
understand the Bull's stubborn tendency. With some gentle persuasion,
anything is possible -- and there is no Sign more gifted at gentle,
subtle persuasion and charm than Libra. On the other hand, Libra's
indecision may irritate direct, to-the-point Taurus. As long as Taurus
tones down the tendency to declare that their way is the only
acceptable
way to do or see something, Libra can accept Taurus's decisions.
What's the best aspect of the Taurus-Libra relationship? Their
shared love of pleasure, beauty and culture. Aesthetics are integral to
both partners, and their similar tastes and loves make theirs a
relationship of great romance and harmony.
