Wondering who’s worth the wait, Taurus?
Who is Taurus most compatible with?
In the traditional geometry, Taurus shares its element with Virgo and Capricorn: the trines, the most harmonious angle. Cancer and Pisces sit a friendly sextile away, Scorpio is directly opposite, and Leo and Aquarius are square, the angle of friction. That's the Sun alone; Venus, Mars and the Moon tell the rest.
You're here because of someone.
Still waiting for the right one to show up? Your Venus might be why.
Your sun sign gives every Taurus the same short list. Your card is worked out from the day, the minute and the place you were born.
Every Taurus reads this page. Only your card knows you.

Taurus in love, in the old books
The traditional portrait: the same for every Taurus.
Taurus courts slowly, in the old portrait, and means it. Dinner cooked properly, the same table every anniversary, a hand on your back in a crowd. The books make Taurus the most faithful sign in the year and the most possessive, happiest with someone who'll stay put. Rush a Bull and it just plants its feet.
Tradition puts Taurus at ease with Virgo and Capricorn, the other earth signs, and with Cancer and Pisces, the water signs a sextile away. Scorpio sits across the wheel, the pull Taurus can't quite explain. Leo and Aquarius square off with it, fixed signs both, and nobody in that room budges.
Taurus’s twelve pairings
Trine Harmonious, in Ptolemy’s terms
Four signs apart, 120° on the wheel: a trine, the classic easy pairing inside one element. Easy is lovely. Is easy what you came for?
Sextile Harmonious, in Ptolemy’s terms
Two signs apart, 60°: a sextile, the friendly angle between elements that get along. The old books call it an open door. Somebody still has to walk through it.
Opposite Opposition: two ends of one axis
Six signs apart, straight across the wheel: opposites, 180°. Everything you aren’t, sitting right across the table.
Square A hard aspect, since Ptolemy
Three signs apart, 90°: a square, the angle of friction. Rub two sticks together long enough and see what happens.
Same sign A conjunction, the first of Ptolemy’s aspects
The same sign twice: a mirror. Tradition says a mirror is easy to read and hard to argue with. Do you like what you see?
Semi-sextile A minor aspect, added long after Ptolemy
Next-door neighbours, 30° apart: a semi-sextile. Side by side on the wheel, and different in every way the old system counts: element, mode and polarity. Tradition shrugs and calls it awkward kin.
Quincunx A minor aspect, added long after Ptolemy
Five signs apart, 150°: a quincunx, the angle that never quite lines up. Different element, different mode. Astrologers say it's the pair that keeps straightening the same picture frame.
Why do you stay long after you should go?
Two Taurus born a week apart can love in completely different ways. These four lamps are why, and your card reads every one of them.

Venus · how you love
How do you love, and how do you want to be loved?
That's Venus. It never strays far from the Sun, so a Taurus's Venus can only sit in Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini or Cancer. Two people with the same sun sign can want completely different evenings.
-
Mars · what you want
Why do you fight about the same thing every time?
That's Mars: desire, temper, the way you chase what you're after. It can sit in any of the twelve signs, so two Taurus born a season apart can want, and fight about, completely different things.
-
The Moon · what you need
Why do they feel like home one day and a stranger the next?
That's the Moon: what you need when the door's shut and the day's gone wrong. It changes sign every two and a half days. If their Moon falls in your sign… well.
-
The descendant · who you’re drawn to
Why do you keep falling for the same type?
That's your descendant, the edge of the seventh house: the sign setting in the west at your birth minute. Tradition reads it as the partner you keep noticing. It needs your birth time and place.
